lit would be impossible to tell how
much color has to do with the enjoyment
of the good things of this world. How
we love the color of the grass, the var
ious colors of the fruits and flowers and
the beautiful golden color of butter!
And yet there are few persons yet liv-
ing who insist that butter in winter
should not be colored to initiate that of
summer" says writer in the Stockmdn
and Farmer.
True there is loss to the farmers of
the East by reason of the inflow of cheap
Western produce, by reason of cheap
suet butter and lard, by reason, perhaps,
of the need of a greater circulating me-
dunn, by want of business cooperation
and control. These have evidently de-
pressed farming until it has become in
general hand-to-mouth business. Still
where money is exceptionally made land
there is money still made by farmers),
the key of success is in intelligent agri-
culture.
Says the Hartford Comm Times:
'The subject of teaching rudimentary
agriculture in district schools is being
thoughtfully considered in many parts of
the country. The boys and girls should
begin to learn early that which they will
need to know when farmers and the
wives of farmers. Their fathers and
mothers realize how valuable such edu-
cation would have been to them"
As to citizenship and our class, as to
all citizenship and classes, let us, in the
words of Carlyle, "Cease to shrek and
begin to understand" For, after true,
fair understanding, wide it must be, too
as the breath of the sky, there will only
follow equal duties, rights, opportunities
and protection, meaning together gener
al peace, prosperity, safety. Therefore
it is well for all in silent places, in fal
and near and many hooks, to honestly
hear, discuss and thus understand
says a writer in the Stockman and Farm
er.
How many thousands of dollars have
been lost to the people within decade
by poor farming, coupled with poor buy
ing and selling, by a costly, ineffective
road system, by the vase of local taxes
in their wrong, unbusiness like applica
ton, by the lack of proportional CONNER
ciai control and agreement, by failure tt
reach the well-paying consumer, by thu
lack of inspiration, tact, energy thai
have their source in the constant de
monstration and acceptance of economic
principles as they are applicable to vary
ing conditions.
