Though farming is oonfessedly
among the oldest of the arts of civ
iIized life, yet it has never risen to
the dignity of an intellectual pro-
fession in any age. This has not
been, as some have supposed, be-
cBuse it was business demanding
labor often severe, exhaustive and
sometimes repulsive. Other occu
pati:ns have risen to the dignity Of
professions, which in practice were
as laboriOus. as exacting and often
more repulsive. The Healing Art"
was dignified and honored pro.
fession amoLg the ancients though
much of its labor was more repul-
sive than any imposed by farm life.
The wise "son of Sirach'' who is
the reputed author of the Apo
cryphal book of Ecclesiasticus,
written 200 years B. c., says: Hon
or a,physicisn with the honor due
unto him for the uses which you
may have of him, and
he shall receive honor of the king"
(Ecclesiasticus 2Sth chap.) But in
a subsequent part of the same chap
ter the author says; "How can he
get wisdom that holdeth the pIow,
and that glorieth in the goad-that
driveth oxen and is occupied in
their labor, and whose talk is of
bullocks? He giveth his mind TO
make burrows; and is diIigent to
give kline cows their fodder" AT
ter describing several mechanical
handicrSfts, the author adis-"All
these trust to their hands; and ev
every one is wise in his work r
but they shall not be sought for in
public councils" In the Augustan
age, a bevy of literary men, led by
such illustrious names as Virgil,
the TWO Pinys, Columella and Ag
ricola, strOve TO elevate farming to
an honorable position, but in this
they signally failed. They sue
ceeded in gaining for themselves a
literary fame that lives, but failed
to give to their subject the dignity
of a science This not because
their subject did not lie on a scien-
tifc plane, but oE account of the |
position universally assigned TO
farm work-thet of routine labor
mere brute toll, involving little or |
nothing Of mind in any of its pro-
cesses. Tue labor might say |
the drudgery of the professions is
and honorable because it |
is guided by enlightened intellect.
But there is really no broader field
of science, no more demand for
thought and general mental activ-
ity in the work of the ply stefan, the
civil engineer, or the geologist,
than there is the labor of the farm
ar. Indeed. there is no field Of hu-
nan labor that touches tina realm

OF science in SO many points
as does work Of well-conducted
farm. To know the nature OF tue
soil he cultiyates, the farmer must
understand at least the elementary
principles OF chemistry and geolo-
gy; to understand the want Of his
crop at every stage of growth. he
must have a practical knowledge Of
vegetable physiology and botany;
TO be successful stock farmer he
must have knowledge of the fun
damental laws of animal physiolo-
gy; to know what TO buy in the
line of farm implements and how
toskeep them in order, he should be
acquainted with mechanical phi
iosophy; to know when ana where
to sell and buy, he should be &C
quainted with the laws of trade,
the science of political economy, in
short the farmer should be an eda-
Gated mas, if for nothing else, that
he may enjoy his business. He
mas page after page of the great
volume OF nature presented to him,
hut II IL is a sealed book, he finds
no enjoyment in it TO relieve his
toll. Too many farmers pass
through this wonderful, this mar
velous world, much as q blind man
would walk through Siubad's val
ley Of diamonds.
The young men, with an ardent
desire for an education and but
ineager opportunity for obtaining it,
make sad mistake when they
leave the farm and 90 to town seek
ing Il clerkship, or some semi intc..
iectual employment that they sup
pose will give them better facilities
Tor mental improvement. Nothing
could be wider OF the truth. Edu.
cation is learning to observe and
think. Schools, books anal teachers
are but the tools by which the work
is done, but if too many helps are
employed the work is, too often, bul
specifically done.
The farm gives the finest opp r.
tunlty tor reading the great book
of nature as the seasons turn It's
leaves and expose each day a new
page. His hands soon learn to d,

Hnnle Esekis Wisdom.

There is nothing so valuable, and
yet so cheap, as cIvilty; you can al
most buy land with it.
The great beauty of charity is
privacy; there is a sweet force even
in an anonymous penny.
1t isn't so much what man has
that makes him happy, as it is what
he doesn't want.
There are many comfortable peo-
pie in the world, but to call any
man perfectly happy is an insult.

your hair in the middle, get it even
if you have to split hair to do it.
Independence is a name for what
no man possesses; nothing, in the
animate or inanimate worll, is more
dependent than man.
Men of great genius should not
forget that their faIlings, or vices,
are more apt to be noticed, and even
admired, than their virtues.
My friend, If you must keep a pet
