Why They LEAVE THE Farm
Why farmers boys are so restless
to get away from the farm. and try
their fortunes anywhere else, is a
puzzling question To fathers, and
one that gives them a great deal
of trouble. All their seedlings
over the subject. and their pointed
remarks about the laziness of this
degenerate age. seem Omake mat
tiers no better. There are other
things besides hard work that are
steadily undermining all home
love, and making them dissatisfied
with its quiet duties. And one OF
he most prominent is the little
dime novel hid about in the hay
NOW and under the pillow, to read
by stealth, and then loaaed to an

chlefmaker is the illustrated sto-

Tornadoes, and lightning strokes,

calamities, but they are mild in
comparison with the evil often
wrought by this poisonous litera-
ture. No destruction OF property
is equal to the destruction of your

REPRESENTATIVE BANKERS JOKE.
Hon. Lewis Barker, we'll known as
one Of the best public speakers and
wits in Maine, was a member Of the
Legislature. OF course, he was con-
sPicuous, so too was his large black
shaggy dog.
One day when Lew" was address
ing the House. in the midst of a very
exciting debate (he was well under
way pouring fourth his smooth Aow-
ing but imprisoned sentences,) the
dog also rose in the middle Of the
House, and looking towards the
Speaker, commenced vigorous bow
wOwing in his big voice. completely
drowning the silvery tones Of bis
master.
Lew" stopped. and called out to
his dog Down, sir down / have
the floor. Il is against the rules for
more than one Barker to address the
House at one time"
The dog yielded the floor, and Of
course, there was tremendous laugh
ter.

Morris tribune., 1882-03-30
Harvester Var.

Many of our farmer readers will be in
terested in an important suit commenced
against the Minneapolis Harvester Works
by the Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Company. The Mccormick company will
begin suit, as owners of the Gorham twine
binder. to compel the Minneapolis harves
ter company, who manufacture the APP
pleby Irvine binder, to pay them a royalty,
not only OH all binders already manufac.
tured and in use, but also on all tn t may
hereafter be manufactured. 1t is claimed
by the McCormicks that their binder, the
"Gorham.' is fully protected by patents
and that the "Appleby" binder, used by
the Minneapolis company. is simply theil
machine under another name, and conse
quentiy infrlnges on their patent rights
The suit promises to- he All important u
and will involve long and tedious litiga'
ton. We learn from Messrs. Leonard &
Allyn, the local agents OF the McCormick
company at this place. that they have been
in correspondence with the home Office,
and learn that it is the intention of thu
company to fight the case to the bitterend
They mean business, and assert that they
can fully establish their claim in the courts
and will collectt the loyalty either from ihe
manufacturers or from those using the
machine. OF course we know nothing Of
the merits of the case, but ii would seen
probable that Mccormick has some foun
dation for tile suit or he would not begin it
Morris tribune., 1882-03-30
Better Things Promised.

1t would seem that after all the lessons
of the past few years had not been wholly
thrown away upon our farmers, and that
the hazardous and unsafe policy Of a sole
reliance upon one crop was gradually being
abandoned. Several farmers with whom
we have conversed have enc uded not 10
only diversi y their crop, but also propose
to give more attention to their stock and 10
dairy, and intend making u new departure
the coming season, when a greater acreage
of oats, corn, barley, buckwheat, rye and
flax will be seeded and the area of wheat
correspondingly reduced. This is a prom.
Using and hopeful sign, as not only does it
ensure less liability to disastrous failure,
but it also lessons the injurious effect likely
to be realized by having the heretofore one
and only product of this region entirely
under the control and manipulation of a
powerful and grasping monopoly. Diver.
sitication Of crops promises a solution of
the vexed and serious problem of freeing
ourselves from the arms of these monopo-
lists, and rotation of crops prevents i'm
poverishment OF the land and ensures
profitable harvests. Ours is a rich and
wonderfully productive soil, but it cannot
long withstand the terrific strain and abuse
to which it has been subjected by thu
system of one crop farming heretofore il
yDUue.
