Change of Seasons.

An old mariner, of fifty-fve years
experience, in conversation a few
days ago in reference to the unsea-
sOnable weather we have been having
advanced this theory:
1--WE have fully undergone a
change of seasons to a certain extent
and all this is caused by the change in
the gulf stream. The gulf stream is
now running 100 miles nearer the
Eastern shore than it was one year
ago. My idea is that this change is
caused by some upheavel in the bot
tom of the ocean, but be that as it
may we have such condition of af-
fairs as / describe. This unusual
change has affected our weather and
to it is due the frequent and disas-
trous rains of last summer, and it is
what causes such unreasonable
weather as we are now having. The
scientists may laugh at this theory,
but if you will ask any old sailor he
will tell you that what / state is true,
and 1t would not be a bad idea for the
weather bureau to take this into con.
sideration in making its predictions,
At any rate / think they will agree
with me that there is something
badly out OF joint.

THE EDUCATED FARMER.

Heretofore, in all parts of the
world the farmer has been no match
for his adversary. He has never
held his own against the soldier or
the priest, against politician or the
statesman. In ancient times he was
a slave; in the middle ages the serf,
in the nineteenth century he is the
slave, the sert, the peasant or the
| proprietor, according to location.
American farmers as \ class are
face to face with a crisis. They
have subdued a continent and furn.
ished the raw material for our fac
tories, bread for our operatives and
manhood for our civilization. They
have sustained the nations credit
with their hard-earned dollars,
rescued endangered liberty with
their conscientious ballots and de-
Tended time and again the stars and
stripes with their loyal body Vigor-
Gus in body, strong in character,

America will never allow themselves
to be overwhelmed by the fate that
sunk the tillers of the soil in India,
in Egypt, in Europe.
From all parts of this land farm

But they are in danger of making
mistakes in the struggle that shall
turn back the progress of the move

duty of the educated farmer. What
