his commendable aspirations. and iust
in proportion as farmers rise up and d..
mand the best OF everything will H.,
be respected, esteemed and honored ~
all other classes and by every member
of their own class.
II you look at the market Quotations
you will see q distinction between ths
inferior and the best in the price Of al
grains, vegetables, fruits and live stock
The best horses will sell for 5000 TO s251
while the "plugs are run off at 40 r.
SIS. The best beef cattle bring douhla
the price of poor scrubs" The same
principle holds good throughout the en-.
tire range of marketable farm products
The drudgery Of farm life, which is
proverbial, will soon disappear If farm.
ers will determine to have the best in
every line. The work itself will be rem.
dered more pleasurable and interesting
while the ability to take leisure will Be-
afforded by the increased profits and ad-
vantages of having the best. Drudeery
is accompanied with a want OF intelh-
gence to some extent. It is low object
to live to work, while it is honorable to
labor, having the object OF obtaining
that which is useful and necessary in
life.
Good farming ends in having all the
good things possible. A good farm,
good house, good farmer, good crops
and good stock will make the farmer and
his family and all connected with them
not only enjoy good, but be good. The
goods 90 together and the bads together
Let the farmer step up higher and en-
joy purer atmosphere. Let him turn
a new leaf" in agricultural work. The
world is filed with the new, the won
derful, the progressive, the aggressive.
Let the farmer take his place and per-
form his best,
