We think that almost any farmer
will agree with us that every farm
should have its own workshop, and
every cultivator Of the land should
understand how to use it. He may
net do &c when he first enters upon
farming on coming of age, but
after . year or two OF what we
shoold call apprenticeship, when

THE FARMERS HOME.

world stands. Ihe squallu peas
ant in oyercrowded countries where
tle lordIy rich hold dOmineering
sway oyer the lower classes, lives
in his filthy hut contented, because
all attempts to aspire to better sur
roundlngs and conditions are
crushed, or nipped in the bud, or,
more likely, no bad is ever allowed
to form. SO his days are spent In
an unendinground of wretchedness,
vet his humble cot is his home
All his pleasures, however meager,
center there with his family around
bin.
But with the farmers of the
United States, how different the
conditions The fOrmers's lot is
dependence, and the latter's is in
dependence. So 1t would seem
that the American farmers should
have a comfortable, happy home.
But what should a home be-a
model home 7 My idea is that a
home should be a place which a
farmer can enjoy; where his chill
dren grow up around him to years
of discretion. The building should
be kept Ia good repair. The yard
should be nicely fenced and paint
ed. Shade and fruit trees should
be set out in abundance around the
dwelling. There should also be a
nice garden with vegetables, fruits
and berries in their season, so that
the pork barrel will only have to
be visited at intervals STEW and
far between" The children should
have a good district SHOOT educa-
ZION and a winter or two at the
academy if it can be Afforded
What stock is raised should be OF
good blood, so that the boys Will
be interested and encouraged. lH-
proved machinery ought to be usee
so that large results may be OBJ
tanned with an expenditure of but
little muscle. With the reaper,
horse fork, sulky pillow and other
riding machiner, the farm and
farming have no terrors to an
ordinary energetic boy. There
should be a workshop where leisure
hours and rainy davs may be spent.
A few necessary tools should be
there, the more the better; then
when a rainy day comes, the boys
will be there, hard at work making
or repairing something that Will
please the head of the family, and
they will soon become expert In
the use of tools, thereby saving a
good many bills. And as regards
the house-the hOme-see that 1t
is supplied with reading matter
suitable to the ages OF the children.
Supply them With books not OF the
yellow covered kind, however /;
give them current newspapers,
magazines, etc. If they have a
desire for music get an organ or
piano fit can be afforded. What
continual feast and power for
good is a musical instrument in a
family where all can gather around
and sing praises to the Great
Glyer.
A boy that is brought up under
such influences can be trusted, and;
at the proper age, it would be we'll
to give him a nice carriage, harness
and horse, which he has earned
many times over, and when he
drives out and circulates with com
panious, who, without doubt, will
be of the Same stamp as himself,
even then he win 60 home with
pleasure because he was reared in
a pleasant ..sc.se, and when he
leaves it to fight life's battles, 1t
will be leave taking of profound
sorrow.-COr. Rural Neto Yorker.

For the Assessor.

The Third Congressional Executiv,
Committee at its session at New Iberi:
Saturday of last week, understood the
necessity, to preserve the united demo-
cracy Of the Third District, to call upon
the Executive committees of the parishes
composing the district, to meet at once
and order primary elections to be held
on the day of the general election to re-
commend to the Governor the choice of
the democracy of every parish Il candi-
date for the Office of Assessor.
The District Committee saw the i'm
portance that officers be appointed by
the recommendation OF the Democrats
by primary elections, and not by petit
tions of discontented and dissatis-
fled politicians, who are never satis-
fled unless they control the whole thing.
But these self constituted bosses are out
Os date. and the people dictate.
We do not deem it necessary, however,
to order another election for the choice
Of an Assessor for this parish, because
the democrats have already spoken their
will at the primaries held last year by
order of the parish executive committee,
and have elected Mr.. David Rees as the
almost unanimous choice of the demo-
Gratis of st. Martin parish. Mr.. David
Rees is therefore, the only man entitled
to the office of Assessor, and we trust
Governor Nichols will listen to the
voice and to the will Of the united De-
of st. Martin parish, and ap-
point Mr.. Rees Assessor.
II on the other hand Governor Nichols
should disregard the will of the people
and accept the petitions Of few, and
make the appointment accordingly, he
will throw the democrats in such a state
Of disappointment, that the result will
be the obstruction of the
Democratic party in the parish of st
Martin; and they will have reason to do
it, as it is not necessary to exist unless
their existence is of some good to them
and to their party.
Since the foregoing was put in type
We have been informed that Mr.. David |
Rees, as genuine and true Democrat,
'beys to the dictate of his party, and
lgain submits his name to his fellow
democrats as a candidate for the Office of |
Assessor. and we trust that every demo-
rat of st. Martin will again cast bis
'Ote for Mr.. David Rces.
