Variety in Farming.

It is the idea of many that any one
can learn to farm. Rut as there are so
many branches of farming any one of
which will require years of steady and
close application to master by the best
minds, it is deemed advisable for all
farmers to avoid undertaking too many
things. There are some vegetables,
grains and fruits which have been raised
so long and are SO well understood
that their production does not require
so much study and can be used profit
ably in making up a variety on the
farm. And yet, these simplest things
require active minds and close attention
to business to produce profitably, and
great care and thought to sell to adj
vantage.
But there are many things which re-
quire the undivided attention and study
of the most active minds. 1t will not
often prove 4 success if any man at
tempts to carry on two or more of them
at the same time And while We would
advise variety in farming. the diversity
should be so selected that this one great
division shall not be neglected by the
care and absorbing attention of others
The successful farmer is most gener-
ally specialist. 1t is not safe for
man TO attempt to raise cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep for breeding purposes,
at the same time keep a large number
of cows and run an extensive dairy, or
raise cane and have a sugar mill, or 90
extensively into grain or raise hogs for
pork. This would be spreading too
wide, and many. if not all the enter
priSes will suffer neglect. One mans
capacity is not sufficient for all these
complicated branches of industry. Bet
ter way is for man to make himself
a specialist success in one branch.
Conquer it thoroughly. Nearly all
men who have made themselves emil
nent in the world have devoted their
lives to one branch of study or indus
try. There is scarcely a branch of
farm work but is full enough for one
mind, if fully mastered and made sue
cess. And this is especially the case
with most of the new branches of farm
ing which have been introduced within
the last fifty years. If you will look
around it will be seen that previous to
that time it was not expected or re-
quired that a farmer should be man
of hard study as well as hard work
But the new enterprises and plans of
farming require the fullest exercise of
both of these powers of man to keep
abreast of the push and energy of the
agricultural and commercial world,
both of which are now required to be
mastered to insure succeSS.-I0lcG State

Americas First Traitor.

Were child, and possibly a we'll
educated adult, asked who was the first
traitor to the republican cause in
America in the war of the revolution,
he would answer Benedict Arnold.
Such was not the case, however. Ar
mold was, perhaps, the most conspicu-
Gus of the traitors, but the first man
detected in an attempt to betray his
country was DIR. Bep; amin Church, of
Ravnham. Mass. He was a graduate,
studied medicine in London, and be-
came eminent as surgeon. He lived
q bachelor, eXtravagautly and licen-
tiously, in fine mansion, in 176S. For
several years preceding the revolution
he was conspicuous among the leading
Wings. Of the Massachusetts Provincial
Congress he was an active member. At
the same time, while he was trusted as
an ardent patriot, Church was evidently
the secret enemy of the Republicans.
So early as IVA he wrote parOdies of
his own popularsong in favor of liberty
for the Tory newspapers; and, in Sep
TENDER. 1775, an intercepted letter,
written by him in cipher to Major Cain,
in Boston, which had passed through
the hands of the mistress of Church,
was deciphered, and the woman con-
fessed that he was the author. The case
was laid before the Continental Con-
gress, and he was dismissed from the
general dictatorship of the hospital.
He was arrested and tried by court
martial at Cambridge on a charge ''of
holding a criminal correspondence with
the enemy" He was convicted October
g. and imprisoned at Cambridge. On
the 9TH of November the Congress
ordered him to be ''close confined. with
out the use of pen, ink. or paper; and
that no person be allowed to converse
with him, except in the presence and
hearing of magistrate OF the town or
the Sheriff of the town where he shall
be confined, and in the English lam
guage. until further orders from this or
a future Congress. He was so con-
fined in the jail at Norwich, Conn. In
May, 1916, be was released on account
of failing health, and sailed for the
West Indies in a merchant vessel. He
and the vessel were never heard o. after
ward. Benjamin Church was the first
traitor of the republican cause in
America. Couries. ts4#
