The Bright Side of Farming.
G. A. G.. ,Jr., in Country Gentleman.

g. A. G., Jr., in Country Gentleman.
1t is undeniably true that the ener-
getic. driving farmer, who follows the
business in view Of making money,
leads a busy life; for it necessarily in
wolves an outlay of much hard labor
and energy of mind. With this fact
in view, and the numerous trials and
perplexities which always occur to the
farmer during very hot seasons, and the
fact that the hardest and most impor-
tant work of the year comes during hot
weather, when labor and exertions are
most unpleasant, and when those who
follow other callings have comparative
leisure-itis not surprising that many
farmers become diScontented and some
times discouraged
A certain amount of discomfort seems
to be law of human nature. People
of all callings look with envy upon
those who follow other kinds of bust.
ness, and however well person may be
situated, he is likely to imagine
that others have better lot in life.
1t is not surprising, then, to find far
mers looking enviously upon lawyers,
merchants, or those who follow other
callings which demand less exertion Of
body and mind.
But there is bright side to farming
which every farmer ought to recognize,
and which more than balances its un-
pleasant features. While it is true
that much farm work is laborious and
unpleasant, it is also true that farmers
may enjoy ample time for rest, and
without financial loss. The work Of
the farm requires more muscular exer.
tons than that of the shop or desk, but
it is less combining and monotonous.
The clerk, book-keeper and mechanic
work more hours day, and are more
closely confined than the average farm
hand, whose work is in the open all
and who has his evenings for himself
The winter months, with their LONG
evenings, afford to the farmer compare
tive leisure and ample time for recrea
ton, amusement, and intellectual cul
ture. They afford opportunity for read
ing and study, and for laying plans
for future work and improvement.
The luscious fruits, fresh vegetables
pure, rich milk, and golden butter
which are looked upon by the wealthy
residents of cities as luxuries, come tt
| the farmer directly from nature and a
little expense. The same articles arr
: bought by city people at extravagan
) prices, after they have lost their fresh
ness and most desirable qualities. l
is unfortunate that farmers do not, a
rule, better appreciate natures gifts
The farmer deals directly with ma
, ture, and the blessings which he SHOULD
, appreciate and enjoy, more than coun
i teract the difficulties and dissappoint
, , ments which fall in his path.
, There is no reason why farmers ma,
not lead happy lives. Ambition,
, carried too far, becomes a misfortune
and excludes contentment and enjoy
a ment. But with an aim to live and t
: enjoy, rather than to accumulate for
a tunes, there is no calling better adaE
: ted to comfort, contentment and res
happiness than agriculture. 3 81
