The farmer feeds and clothes the world,
but the house in which he lives. the
barn in which he stores his crops, the
plow with which be turns up the soil. the
drill with which he sows his seed. the

the wagon. steamboat. sailing craft, and
railroad train by which he conveys the
fruits Of his labor to market, and the
factory that converts his wool and cot
ton into fabrics are the handiwork OF
the artisan.
But FOR the mechanic the soh. however
fertile by nature, would be little more
than barren, and man would be COM
