A City Mans Opinion of Farm
erS.
I. b. Terry, in Practical Farmer.

A month or so ago | read an
article in a city daily by Matthew
Marshall. l have tried to forget
1T, but cannot. 1t made my blood
boil so that it won't cool down.
In regard to the low prices that
products of the soil bring, he
said it was lowing to tn cir abun-
dance and the low grade of the
labor with which they are obtain
ed" We will agree as to the
abundance, and as to the grade of
labor, In such countries as China.
and India, and in Russia, perhaps.
But it is an insult to the farmers
of America to speak thus of them.
From time immemorlal," says
Mr.. Marshall, "the men who actu-
ally plow and and SOW and reap
have been classed as the dullest,
the least enterprising and the
least elevated portion of the race.
That there have been numerous
and brilliant exceptions to the
rule. especially in this country, is
undeniably true. The farm has
furnished eminent men in many
lines, but the multitude out of
which these peculiarly gifted gen.
fuses have emerged, were and are
considered below the rest of the
community in intellectual ability.
The product or mechanical labor
embody more skill than those of
labor devoted to agriculture, and
accordingly command a higher
price in the market. The more in
telligent part of the population of
every civilized country drifts
steadily away from It's agricul-
tural distric ts and concentrates
itself in the towns and cities. Not
only Is agricultural labor harder
and more exacting of time than
that required for mechanical an d
commercial pursuits, but its in
terVals are less frightened by re-
creation. The laborer on a farm
at the busy seasons of the year
begins his toll early in the day
and ends it late. When the idle
season comes he has to vegetate,
with little or no occupation, and
at all seasons his evenings and
holidays have to be passed with
the scanty amusements that his
own restricted home affords. The
dweller, in town, on the contra
ry, earns his wages with shorter
hours of labor and spends them
more agreeably."

10 JuSt oe pilhtcu. OO bue HlulGl-
tude out Of which some gifted
men have been sent to the city is
considered by this city man as
below the rest of the community
in intellectual ability. Well, that
reminds that Success, bright mag.
azlne published in N. Y, says
that "cities are the graves of the
physiques of our race. If towns
were not constantly recruited
from the country the constitutions
and intellects of their inha bltants
would rapidly decline vlgor."
History shows Success to l,e right.
In the long run constitutions and
intellects are built up best In the
country. Would that you could
stand and watch the almost count
less thousands of human beings,
old and young, male and female,
that hurry across the ferries, to
and from New York. morning and
uIght; and of course the elevated
lines carry other thousands. On
every face one sees rush and care
and worry, but nothing to indi-
cate that their hours of leisure
were spent so agreeably as Mr..
NJ. tells of. The truth is Nj. il con.
trastlng the privileged few in the
city with the mass in the country.
lell US, Mr.. NJ, how very few of
the people in N. Y. own their own
homes; scarcely enough of the
great multitude to be worth men
tioning. But never mind if they
only live in city their life is
ideal. The great mass of farmers,
Mr.. NJ, own their homes and
homes surrounded by sunlight
and shade, and pure air and quiet,
a blessed place for old and young.
When you speak disparagi ngly of
our farm homes you show either
great ignorance or a wilful desire
to belittle us in the eyes of our
city brothers. When the heat of
the pavements and brick blocks
gifts simply uncomfortable in the
city, then the privileged few, who
are able, are glad enough to come
out to spend few months with
"the dullest and least enterpris-
ing and least elevated" part of
the human race. But the great
multitude have to toll on, scarce
ly existing for weeks and months.
And then that greater skill de-
veloped in factory and shop. Yes,
it tends to raise people intellect

to attend one machine In factory,
whether it is making button holes
or turning wood or iron, to run
an electric car or typewriter, or
keep books, etc. The man in the
country who rides a gang plow,
and corn planter, and grain drill
and binder, and potato planter
and digger, and other such com
plicated tools, and has skill to use
them successfully, has less intel
ligence, has he, than the man In
the shop who year after year
works making one piece in one

American farmer now has to
study the composition of soils, OF

GEN. HAMPTON'S HOUSE
TOTALLY DESTROYED BY
FIRE EARLY THIS MORN
ING.
Much of the Furniture and Many
Valuable Books LOst-The
General had to be Carried
From the Building.

q
Hampton, just east of the city,
was burned to the ground this
morning between 2 aud 3 o'clock.
The flamet were discovered by
the sleeping inmates by reason of
the smoke and heat, but luckily
in time to save themselves as
well as some of the furniture and
household effects.
The aged general has been un.
well for severa! days and had to
take to bis bed. He was unable
to walk and had to be carried out
of the burning house by colored
men who had been aroused.
The people in the neighborhood
were alarmed as quickly as pos
sible, and they assembled and
gave all the assistance within
their power, but it was evident
from the beginning that the
building was doomed to destruc.
ton. The fire originated at about
the same place it did twice re.
Gently, kitchen part, one of which
incipient fires the aged warrior
himself stopped. This morning
the first thought was to get him
to a place ol safety. He was
carried out and placed in a chair
at safe distance away, where
he sat and witnessed the flames
slowly destroy his dwelling and
much of it's valuable contents.
The neighbors in the mean-
time were saving furniture and
succeeded in carrying away a
considerable portion of it. The
general had a very valuable H.
brary, the collection of years.
Every effort was made to save as
many of these books as possible,
but numbers of them of great
value were lost. The fire may
have been of incendlary origin,
though it is thought that more
likely it originated from a kitch-
en- fire. A colored woman had
been ironing in the place during
the afternoon and it may have
caught the building from a de-
fectixe chimney.
The greatest sympathy was ex.
pressed by every body over the
serious loss to the general, and
some enthusiastic old Confeds
Immediately began talking of
building him another house,
showing the deep regard they
have for their old chleftain.
The fire was first discovered by
the general, who saw a light
which at first appeared TO him as
being the break of day. He hob
blef to. door and found the
whole house ablaze.
Among the losses were some
valuable historical and personal
papers kept in a desk. The Ii
brary consisted Of about 5000
volumes and some of the books
destroyed cannot be replaced.
Among them was one printed a
few years after the invention of
the printing press. The general
had very valuable English sad
die which he used throughout the
war and which he priced very
highly. Phis was lost. About
1000 books were saved, they be-
ing stored in another building
