WHAT CONSTITUTES A FARMER

WHAT CONSTITUTES A FARMER.
Does the owning and cultivating
OF land make farmer ? Certainly
not. unless the cultivating is done
in systematic and workmanlike
manner. Many men own farms Of
many acres, and yet hardly make a
living. The man who thinks of his
farm work Only when he sees others
doing their work, and then COM
mences what ought to have been
done perhaps week or month pre-
vious, is not a farmer in the true
meaning of the word.
A farmer looks after the interest
Of his farm at all seasons, and at all
hours of the day, and thinks
night of what should be done the
next day or the next month. Some
farmers pillow early no matter what
condition of the land let it be wet
or dry, while another plows 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 his soil and does not
intend to injure his best friend. The
farm to him is bank from which he
draws the ready cash, and in order
to make the bank safe, it must have
a good set Of directors, viz: fore
thought, judgment, method
There are few real farmers and
they are kings of the land-inde-
pendent beings. They SOW and
plant in time and condition, and
reap and gather bountiful harvest.
The farmer has his fields we'll
titled and fenced and clear of weeds.
Many who own farms have poor
fences, poor buildings and poor
stock. Their crops are not abund-
ant, their stock suffer for feed and
shelter, they are not farmers, they
only stay on the farms and think of
something else. Many loads of good
manure go to waste III their barn
yards while they are visiting and
talking in the country towns. It is
a subject Of comment that one
farmer near this place, is never seen
in store after dark or on rainy
days. He takes time to 60 and buy
bis goods and is right of again, and
generally does this way in the morn
ing. He is the most successful
business man in the whole com
munity. His farm is in good shape,
his barns and cribs we'll filled, his
stock in good condition, and he and
his family cheerful, contented and
happy. The owner of many acres,
he was once poor boy. His accu-
mutations have been made honestly.
Young frrmers, remember that
the farm requires more thought and
deeper study than any Other occu-
pation.-Country Gentleman.

THE REGULAR ARMY.
A SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE IN
UNCLE SANS TROOPS.
Roughing It at q Frontier Post in
Winter T1me-On the Track of
Deserters-Trailing a Band of
Thieving Piute Indians.

Soldier life in the regular army is as
real and earnest as existence anywhere
else so far as I know, but not by any
means more so. Men must cultivate the
habit of warriors when they never saw
war. They are required to acquire a
military spirit when the cannon's revcille
has been hushed generation They
must strut in panoply of Mars after the
last grand anger of battle is a thing of
dreams and distant memories. When
our children, like Edwin Bellamy, are
'looking backward a hundred years
hence nothing will be more amusing than
this anomaly. New recruits fit awkward
ly into a setting so foreign to natural
life, and, seasoned as they usually are,
they really blush sometimes when re-
quired to come to ''arms-a-port" and
turn over the garrison and all its peaceful
belongings as though the guns of an
enemy were trained from a neighboring
bluff. But they get used to it in time,
and when the five years of their enlist
ment have expired can deliver orders to
the relieving guard without grimace.

smoke sprung from the summit of the
powders and bullet struck the snow
Just ahead of us.
''I guess they're there boys" said the
grim Lieutenant, and he led the party
down the steep hillsides which divided
us from the Indians. As we rode toll
somely down, for the snow was deep,
other shots were fired, and just as we
rose to the level nearer them one of our
men cried out and fell from his horse.
"Fire, boys! Shoot whenever you see
one of them!" came the informal com
mand. 1 cannot say was any more calm
under this fusillade than that of the
three deserters, but my companions were
older Indian fighters, and their conduct
buoyed me up. At the brow of the hill
we dismounted and left the horses with
two men, while the rest of us followed
the Lieutenant up to the frowning crsgs.
There was not particle of shelter for us,
and the rocks afforded them abundant
covering. The command was divided,
and half crept around one way while the
remainder strung out in picket line and
pestered the rocks with lead. As the lit
tie line drew around them the Indians
made dash for liberty, leaving all who
could not reach their ponies in time.
''They're running" yelled some one
on the far side of the rocks. The con-
tagion of chase touched us all. 1t lies at
the bottom of most bravery, and he who
faces an enemy with fear and trembling
may be very hero in pursuit. We
dashed at the rocks, firing now at the fee
ing savages. Pour escaped, but therest,
met here and there by carbines only too
willing to command halt, surrendered
at discretion. We led the ponies and
drove the bucks before us twenty miles
to camp, arriving at midnight. One SOL
dier had been wounded, but not Sc
riously, and two horses had to be shot.
The fifteen wretches were crowded into
the guard house and suffered through the
night and the following day in close
confinement. The room was too small
to afford floor space for all of them to
|, rest at once, and the merry soldiers
amused themselves whenever officers or
guards were not watching by throwing
snowballs through the small, grated win
dow that supplied the only light or air
the prison enjoyed. As through shot
would come through bars, striking a
grumbling savage, the unlucky target
would bound away from the window.

half awake, frightened to the verge of
idiocy, and gazed back at the two men
lying there together. One was Ned
Conlin, an athlete, the other was Team
ster Wren. The latter was breathing
heavily, but Conlin was dead. In his
left temple was a ghastly wound,
bordered with rim of blackened powder.
That was all. He had been shot while
asleep, and had not even moved. The ball,
an ounce slug, lay On the pillow beside
him, and froma a hole in his left temple the
dark blood was gushing out in strong,
pulsing waves. Wren was awakened,
but of course neither he nor Smith could
explain things, and then we ran to the
officers quarters, and searched the snow
for footprints. The man who had
crossed the parade ground under the
midnight moon had turned in at the back
door of First Lieutenant of the infantry.
AS we lifted the latch we saw success
sion of snow islands stretching across the
redwood floor to the cooks bedroom.
In the bed was "Old Bill camp at
tache from -bellum days, who served
as cook to the officers family. Bill had
quarreled with Conlin the night before,
and had been thrown bodily from the
reading-room because his literary spirit
could not rise to Conlin's height. How
ever, truce was arranged later, and the
contents of a large dark bottle found
equal greeting in both their stomachs.
Bill waited till his man was asleep, and
then, fred with the rum which made
plotting demon of him, he crept to the
bed where the athlete lay and tossed one
human life into the boundless sea that
rolls at our feet. Bill was tried, but
raised the question whether he was really
soldier, or whether the courts had jur-
isdiction, and in the tangle which he
wove escaped the halter.
One Sunday morning a woman came
galloping into camp on a cayuse >-ony,
bare of saddle and guided - 4upe.
She was the wife of rancher twelve
miles below, and came to rcpors. raid OF
Indians on her home. Colonel Bernard
sent out detachment of men, armed and
accoutered, with rations for three days
travel. We rode to the farm house.
Evans, the rancher, had just returned
home from a stock corral which he owned
across the valley, and was furious at the
thieving Piutes. They had forced his
wife to empty her larder, to boil gallons
of coffee and to divide her scant store of
bacon and meat We took their trail,
and followed it down the valley some
miles to the road over Fort Crook Hill,
and then turned off to climb the slippery
heights of the pass. Just. to our left,
and running parallel with the road, was
the trail made by the Indians. We fol-
lowed it all day. The savages had kept
just far enough from the trail to lose
their footprints in the expected snow. but
not far enough to be hidden from our
sight, as we held to the easier route.
Just as the sun was setting in the west
we lost the trail in clump of tall rocks
that rose like tower from the hill. We
halted and canvassed the question should
we go on, hoping to strike the trail
later, or go to the rocks and see where

midnight, and the evening had been
wilder than usual. The injunction, "Go

locate the shot, and hesitating to alarm

him to halt, but he paid no attention, and
I called the officer of the guard. The
man vanished in the shadows of the
officers quarters, and the Sergeant started
out with the guard to investigate. Down
in the reading-room Bugler Smith had a
bunk, just wide enough for one sober
man, but in it he and two others had
gone to sleep that night after a most
fraternal carouse. AS we opened the
door Smith climbed from the bunk,
