BUXTON, n. D.. April 3.-My Dear
Readers: Drudgery fails to encourage
| pride and stimulate ambition without it
is>proftabiy rewarded. When profita-
bly, rewarded it partakes of the nature
of business. and is bearable for what
there is in it. To become familiar with
it, to be perfect in 1t and be salts fed. is
an imperfection rather than a merit,
without we are advancing the world
and benefiting ourselves by it. 1t is
only elevating when it,eieyates us. All
work is drudgery. when followed to gain
| simple existence, no matter whether
connected with professions, arts
or sciences. All work is drudg-
cry where the reward is not
sufficient to allow rest or get out of
BY keeping right at it. the rut becomes
smooth where we are continually
dragged in it, and we slide along easier
by reason of becoming smooth ourselves
and at the same time smoothing down
the rut. Even smooth rut is some
thing to be thankful for. There is
difference between smooth and
rough one. Where we are smooth, and
the rut. too, there is less friction on both
OF us. The great thing i'll life and bust
ness is 10 overcome friction. and not let
it overcome lis. We 1--we OH
the fruits of drudgery, there
fore should speak kindly of it
if we don't love or admire 1t. We all
enjoy fruit crop, if lot the labor of
raising it.
The only thing that makes drudgery
endurable is. it is useful and necessary.
Ii is the motions we go through to build
up the world. The building is that
which we enjoy after the motions are
made.
We are all builders or occupants of
that which has been built. Every step
We take or move we make is blow
towards building up or tearing down.
The advancement and condition OF the
world is traced by the works and move
ments of those i'll it, and who have
been in it. The movements that
are proposed here and 10 be traced in
this letter. is on the subject of diyersi
fed farming. This same subject was
mentioned in the GLOBE by this same
writer on the 22d of February last. 1t
was then proposed that the first step
necessary toward diversifying is to
fence the farmland to fence the farm
we must have fencing. Fence posts are
absolutely necessary. 1t requires
fenced fields to raise stock, and with
open Dakota DraIries on one hand and
Minnesota timber OH the other, the
writer undertook to Introduce the gen.
tleman living in the woods TO the gentle
man Oh the prairie, with view of having
them get acquainted and do business
with each other. While the forest is
rotting down, while the railroad runs
through it, while the gentleman living
i'll the woods could be employed at
profitable labor if the farmer would
step of fencing his fields. The writer
called for all who had posts to sell and
all who had fields to fence to send in
their names, that he might have the
pleasure of introducing them and max
ing them acquainted through the
GLOBE. The gentlemen living in the
woods responded promptly and nobly.
But l am sorry and ashamed to say
that not single farmer has come for
ward TO open his head Oil the subject of
fencing and diversifying, The enter
prising aud intelligent gentleman living
in the woods stands alone. Whether
the man living OH the farm is SO all
sorbed in the Mckinley doctrine he has
forgotten all about fences,iS not known.
| The following arc the names and post
| Office address of those who have sent
| their names to the GLOBE as having
| wood and posts to sell the farmers at
starvation prices: Holler q Brown.
Eagle Bend; ID. G. Nicely, Avon;
Baer Bros, Frazee City; l..
d. Heudry, Frazee City; Charles
Ekdahl, Olisviile; John Krugel,
Flemsburg: P. Okeson, Pine City; John
l.. Moore, Green Lake; H. A. Marston.
! Maple Bay; Martin &. Peterson, Nah.
! tOwa-aIl in Minnesota. These honest
and Intelligent men read the GLOBE,
and are prepared to furnish material to
help the prairie farmer diversity. But
the farmer, where is he? Perhaps he
don't read the GLOBE or never heard of
it. Maybe is not going to diversity.
Maybe he is going to try to sell out ami
90 into some other business and let the
other fellow diversity. We will not get
discouraged, but stick to it and
see. If he moves away, we must see his
successor and talk business with him.
My dear readers, we have done all
we agreed TO and more. We have pub
lished your names in the GLOBE and
given them to the world free, instead
of putting them in circular and
waiting for the farmer TO call for
them. We will not be suppressed
and rot out because the farmer
doesn't call on US at once. After
while he may get around to see us. If
he does ne will get wood and posts So
cheap he will be surprised, Let us
drudge OH. and keep drudglng, as God
gives US knowledge ana strength to
drudge. 1t is tie only way out. 1t is
the only way 10 build up tile world, All
that is needed TO make the world bright,
beautiful. prosperous and happy is proper
organization and use of that which we
have TO build with. The hard times are
due more to lack of common sense
than money. There is plenty TODD, and
to do with, if people would only dc
it. We should have fenced fields. trees
flowers. good roads. These would max,
our homes pleasant and attractive
