THE LIFE OF THE FARMER.
There is Difference, of Course, But It is Usually as the Farmer
 Himself Makes It.

Farm life has been extolled by the wisest men in all ages. Only during the dark ages, and in lands perpetual ly dark, has farming been considered a fit occupation for slaves. In ancient Egypt, Assyria and Rome, when each in turn led the civilization of the world, agriculture was esteemed the "noblest occupation of man." During modern times the farmer has ranked high among the useful citizenship of all civilized nations, until now learn ing the science, in all their branches, have been called into requisition to add interest and pleasure to the op- erations of the farm. There can be no greater or more rational pleasure than that of planting, nurturing, car- ing for and enjoying the fruit of na- ture's living organisms of the vege- table and animal world and in apply ing the scientific principles of breed- ing to them. What can be a more in- spring sight than fields of waving grain. or trees and vines blooming, and then bearing, first the embryonic, and finally the mature fruit? Then there are the domestic animals to care for, and their mute but satis- factory companionship a constant source of inspiration to higher achievements. There is scope on farm for the exercise of every intel lectual faculty and every laudable emotion. God never intended that man should live in dirty, smoky, filthy cities and carry on perpetual war over a little gold and silver money, and piles of brick and mortar, that contain no nutriment, no pleasant taste, no appetizing favor-not one element that can support life or cause a single pleasureable sensation. Man was created a farmer and placed in garden and left to hoe his own row. The al then got in his work, cities were built and Satan and his dis ciples quit the farm and moved to town, and then the strife began, and is kept up. As we write these lines, across the street the police court is busy assessing fines for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and in the higher courts lawyers are straining their ingenuity and lung power in the effort to clear the guilty or convict the innocent; sharpers are plotting new and plausible schemes to fleece the unwary, and vice, thinly yelled and lavishly bedizened, walks the streets without a blush, and as the ''cars rattle OCT the stony streets" one has to shout to be heard, while smoke and dust offend the lungs and obstruct every organ of the body. He who wants peace and quietness to re- store the energy lost in the fierce chase for the mighty dollar must seek it in the country.-TeXas Farm and Ranch

of southern prosperity. It is Csti- mated that the mineral products of the south, and the manufactured products, exclusive of cotton, amount to at least as much in value as the agricultural products. So we would have total product worth $3,000,00O,- GOO, which would establish the claim made that the south is naturally the richest section in the union. Yet some or our richest resources have hardly been tapped as yet; and no account IS made in the above estimate of the manifold mercantile industries of this section, of the railroad and other in- terests, or of the healthy and equable climate. No one can observe all these evidences of progress without perceiying that the south is destined to become the gar- den spot of America.-Southern Cul- tivator.

FARMER AND PLANTER,
SOUTHERN PRODUCTIONS.
A Few Facts Designed to Set the Farmers of the South to
 Thinking and Acting.

We do not often indulge in figures. The dry bones are very useful to build upon. They are sometimes the frame work upon which we may place mus cles and tendons and nerves and fat and skin and construct a well-formed body.
 We shall not undertake to be exact in this article. Round figures and ap- proXimations will suit our purposes. We wish simply to set you to draw some conclusions for your own bene- fit.
 Our cotton crop will for this and succeeding years figure around ten million bales. At present it is doubt ful if we will get that. Ten million bales at eight cents per pound would be four hundred millions of dollars. The seed products will be worth an- other hundred million dollars. The corn crop will be another two hun dred million. Wheat and oats over another hundred million. The various hay crops at least hundred millions more. Then we have the sugar cane, rice, potatoes, truck crops, melons and peaches, which add up more than hundred millions more. These all grow out of the earth and upon the farms. Now add to these the horses, mules, cows, sheep, hogs, chickens, l eggs, butter, hides, etc., and you will find at least two hundred millions more. These all grow upon the | farms.
Woodruff County news., 1901-11-02
4et us sum up and we find:

Total ......... ....... .$1 200, ,000, 900
 Here we have an annual production from southern agriculture of more than one billion and two hundred millions of dollars.
 Now we must not forget the large productions of lumber, coal, iron, gold and other valuable minerals, naval stores, etc. These, with our manu- factures, add perhaps as much as the agricultural products.
 If these vast, almost inconceivable sums of money were kept here and annually added to our means, we would, in a few years, be rich and prosperous people. But a large part of it is now sent out to pay for pro- visions which We could just as well raise here. Other large sums are sent out to pay for luxuries, many of which we do not need. Other large sums go into too rapid building up of cities and towns, which drain the country of it's men and women, and then of it's money.
 Still other large sums go to pay for margins on futures. This betting busi- ness carries out of the south much more money than we are generally aware of. It is estimated that south erners pay out on losses in cotton fu- lures half as much as the cotton crop brings. But we began simply to call attention to the enormous wealth we are annually creating and distribut- ing. And yet many of us remain poor. This need not be. The southern farm CT who looks after his business is bound to get well off.
 Since writing the above, the follow ing table has appeared in the Atlanta Constitution. We give it room here, because it shows that our figures were entirely inside of the real facts.
 In view of these wonderful figures we wish to say that the man who owns a southern farm is fortunate. We should be very slow to sell our land at any price. It will rapidly rise in price.
 A table purporting to give the agri- cultural products of the, south during the year 1900 has caused not a little astonishment in the north. Here is the table referred to:

 There is only one thing, says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, the mat ter with this table, and that is that it is below the mark in some respects. The poultry and egg item, for in stance, ought to be at least $75,000,- GOO, while the milk and butter item should be at least $100,000,000. This would make the total of values for the agricultural products of the south over $1, 1,5OO,000,0O0. This, how ever, does not tell the entire story

tinued his statement until the court ad-

Gay. He gave a graphic description of

but this is denied by Wilkinson. who
SAYS there never was a sufficient guam
