THE FARMER.
The Qualities Which Make the True Agri-
culturist.

The Qualities Which Make the True A girl
culturist.
Does the owning and cultivating of
land make man farmer? Certainly
not, unless the cultivation is done in a
systematic and workmanlike manner.
Many men own farms of many acres,
and yet hardly make living. The
man who thinks of his farm work only
when he sees others doing their work.
and then commences to do what ought
to have been done perhaps week or a
month previous. is not farmer in the
true meaning of the word.
A farmer looks after the interests of
the farm at all seasons, and at all hours
of the day, and thinks at night of what
should be done the next day or the next
month. Some farmers pillow early. no
matter what the condition of the land.
let it be wet or dry. while others pillow
when the land is in good condition. The
latter raises the best crops. and does
not injure the land. He has studied the
nature of the soil. and he does not in
tend to iniure his best friend. The
farm to him is bank from which to
draw the ready cash. and in order to
make the bank safe. it must
have a good set of directors.
viz. forethought, Judgment, method.
There are few real farmers, and they
are the kings of the land-independent
beings. They sow and plant in time
and condition, and reap and gather a
bountiful harvest.
The farmer has his fields well tiled
fenced. and clear of weeds. Many who
own farms have poor fences. poor
buildings, and poor stock. Their crops
are not abundant; their stock suffers
for feed and shelter; they are not
farmers; they only stay on the farm,
and think of something else. Many
loads of good manure go to waste in
barnyards while they are visiting and
talking in the country towns. 1t is a
subject of comment that one farmer
near this place is never seen in a store
after dark, nor on rainy days. He takes
time to go and buy his goods, and is
right off again. and generally does this
in the early morning. He is the most
successful business man in the whole
community. His farm is in good shape.
his barns and cribs well filled. his stock
in fine condition. and he and his ily
cheerful, contented and happy. The
owner of many acres. he was once a
poor boy; his Accommodations have been
made honestly.
Young farmers, remember that the
farm requires more thought and deep
study than any other occupation. Cor.

Papier mache plaques for advertising

the latest instance of how art has been
subserved to business purposes. The
work can be given the appearance of a
number of substances, such as stone,

high grade of excellence. The materi-
ais are few in number, exclusive of those
used in finishing. being clay. plaster of
paris and rough brown paper. such as
is used in hardware stores for wrapping
purposes. The clay is employed in the
first or artistic stage of the work, in
modelling of the figures or designs to be
reproduced in papier mache. The plas-
ter of paris is used to make the molds
and the paper is the basis of the finished
product. The design being made in
clay, the plaster is poured over it, and
what might be called a negative pro-
duced. Upon each of the negatives or
molds the paper is built up until a
proper thickness has been secured.
