same way; the following winter was
not so mild. When he took off the
stalks in the spring the bees seemed a.

The Farmer.

The average political newspaper of this
country, perhaps of others, finds a pleas
ure in presenting a farmer in a more or
less ludicrous aspect. He is styled Hay
seed" clod-hopper" and the like. He is
made the butt of many poor jokes that
are not worth the paper they are printed
on But, after all, the average farmer is
lar above the average scribbler of these
things. 1t is quite true that the farmers
occupation in itself obviates all necessity
Tor wearing fine cloths, 1t is altogether
Inappropriate that they should wear
patent-leather shoes. kid gloves, or Stet-
son hats, except on Sundays. There needs
be revolution in sentiment on the part
OF inc people who live within the City's
walls IN regard to that large class known
as farmers-the jeans wearers, the WOOL
nat men, There is nothing dishonorable
IN the work of the farm in any of its
phases; and this work is not more ia
ugulng than that of the cashier who
stands on his feet from to g.
sun, there is no need for the farmer to
wear very good clothes while he is doing
the work that he does, for he works in
the dust much of the time, and in the dew

IL Is a glorious, happy life-that Of the
