OF Farm Life. Discomfort and lack of

classes. The farmer may be discomfort
ed but is always employed. Head work
is the very best relief for bodily fatigue.
When a mans soul is in his work his

vate themselves as well as their farms.

clubs, excursions TO the city. which are
becoming more and more frequent, all
are tending in this direction. Farmers
are now the best educated class Of
laborers in the world and American
farmers lead.
Music by the college mandolin club
and two vocal selections by Mr.. Nc.

program, were very well received.
