Hollister, California, informs US that they
have had no rain in that locality yet, and
farmers are beginning to feel rather blue over

fHE FARMERS DUTY.


One of the principles of the grange
is to strengthen the attachment of
the farmer to the farm and to In
crease the attractiveness of home.
If farmers wish to induce their
bright, active sons TO remain on the
farm, they must show an active
faith ia the business themselves; !;
they must indicate by pronounced
measures that sthey believe in the
farm and admit no superior calling
in the comparison. When a farmer
becomes thoroughly aroused to. the
Importance of better seed, better i'm.
plements, better cultivation, and, in
fine, of better methods throughout,
in such an individual is to be found
a firm supporter of farmers organi-
cations for mutual good. A good
farmer is always anxious to know
more, while many a poor, Ishiftless
farmer is laboring under the delusion
that he already knows enough. One
can never measure his ignorance or
knowledge by himself alone US a
standard. 1t is necessary to COM
pare notes with his fellow-workers in
the same line of business. The low
er the level which man is willing
to occupy, the less his range of Wis
ion, while as he steps up higher, his
horizon hroadens, new opportunities
present themselves, new fields of
discovery appear, and the Individual
becomes more comprehensive, more
intelligent and more successful.
There is pleasure in gaining infor-
nation, which is stimulant to
greater eXertion. The more n man
learns, the greater his desire TO ac-
qUire knowledge. Few men are in-
clined to do their best without the fric-
tion of rivalry or competition. One
energetic, enthusiastic, successful far
mer is apt to leaven whole neigh
b3rhood with his sterling qualities.
A few determined men can influence
the tendency of a whole village.
How important, then, that every far
mershOuld make up his mind to per-
form well his part, to fulfil his duty
as citizen as well as well as the
head OF family, 10 sustain and en-
courage, in ever so humble way, the
noble art of agriculture.
