Mr.. A. E. FENToN, in the North
soester's Agriculturist, says:
II am raising only about $50 acres
of wheat and l25 acres of oats and bar
ley each year. l have 100 acres seed
ed to timothy. I raise some fine colts
and beside the home supply dispose of
some 1900 lbs. OF butter annually.
My farm of 96O acres is worth not less
than $50 per acre, snd myself and fam
lily spend our winters in town." and
T. B. Terry in the same issue writes as
follows:
II am thankful I am not doctor, for
if did not manage to suit every pa
tlent l would find them slipping away
from me. | am thankful am not a
minister with whole congregation to
please l might have a certain fixed
income, but oh, so many toes liable to
be trodden on! l am thankful l am
not manufacturer, for just as I get a
large supply Of goods some change of
fashion may take off all the profit.
Potatoes and wheat never 60 out of
fashion. The only toes l am liable to
tread on belong to weeds and potato
bugs, and these never resent the opera
ton. If one man doesn't like the
goods I produce, the whole country is
my market, and the loss of customer
is not to me what it is to the doctor,
who can draw from but a few miles
around.
On my farm am king. No man
can spit tobacco juice about me, or de
foul the air with the smoke of his
mouth, or make me listen to swearing
or impure or foul conversation. do
not have to put up with anybody's
impudence as matter of business pol
icy. Said a merchant to me the other
day as a customer left the store, whose
words I could not haye stood: "Thank
God that you do not have to be all
smiles and bows when you are just ach-
ing to kick man across the street."
l am my own boss, except that must
produce what the world wants. No
one can discharge me or find fault with
my work. There is always work to do
l am never out of a job, and still am
not closely tied up, except for a few
weeks of the year"
Neither of these farmers seem to
know anything of the robbery that the
twin Walters say so much about.
