The Farmers Life.
Newberry Observer.

Newberry Observer.
Shakespeare says something like
this: If to do were as easy as to say
what ought to be done, then chapels
had been churches and poor mems
cottages rich mems palaces.
And it is so. It is much easier to
say how thing ought to be done
than to do it that way. It is easier
to tell farmers how to run their farms
than it would be to run them if the
eiver Of the advice only had the
chance to try it. Nevertheless we
newspaper fellers are deeply con-
vinced that the farmers are the hap
piest men in the world, and would be
the luckiest and the richest, too, if
they would only set about it the right
away.
Just think of it. Here is g man
that has the soil and the climate suit
able for raising every pound OF meat
and bread and fruit and vegetables
that he could possibly need-nearly
everything for the outer and the in
ner mana yard full of chickens,
pens full Of hogs, milk and butter
Galore, mutton and beef without
limit, and blessing of blessings
having to work hard only about eight
months in the year. Who wouldn't
be farmer? It is the ideal life.
But the reality is not so bright IS
the ideality; though, compared with
most other lines of industry, we be-
lieve a farmer has the easiest and
happiest time. If he is at all sue
cessful he has what Robert Burns
call "the glorious privilege of being
independent" and there is nothing
more glorious to poor human being
than that.
He is not rushed to death every
hour of the day and does not have to
lie awake at night wondering where
be is going to get the money TO pay
his rent and buy his provisions and
pay bis debts. he has no cempeti-
tors beating down prices until there
is hardly living in any ordinary
line of business, no matter how hard
one works. He does not freeze half
to death in cold winters like this one
has been, when third of cord of
wood cost dollar, and green at that;
but be takes his axe and goes out
and cuts all the wood he wants and
sits by roaring big fire at night
and on ra.ly days and dry days too
if he likes, while his poor town
brother is hugging a cold stove or
shuflipg about hunting the south
side of brick wall to keep from
freezing.
TIE farmer does not know what
good thing he has got. If all the
farmers, or majority, would just
raise their own "hog and hominy"
and make cotton surplus crop, they
might not handle SO much money,
but they would have a great deal
more at the final settling up, and
would be by far the happiest people
on earth.
It is easier to say this than to do
it; and yet it looks altogether pcs
| sibte.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Allison is quoted today as saying that
Congress will adjourn probably be-

statement was surprise to almost

was that the session would run we'll

The Democrats are preparing to
make strong campaign to reduce

and have some hope even of getting
Democratic majority. The strug-

GOOD FARM lands

People are eagerly seeking suitable
farms in both St.. Louis: and Carlton
counties. People from adjoining states
are recognizing that THIS is a splendid
agricultural country. Get back on the
farm.
There has got to be a revival
Of good sound sense among men,
Before the days of prosperity
Will dawn upon us again.
The girls must learn that beauty
Consist in more than looks,
The boys must learn that learning,
Consists in more than books.
Before we can steer clear Of failures
And big financial alarms
The boys have got to quit ,clerking
And get back on the farms: =:
In this day Of the combinations of
wealth, organization of trusts, and the
life and death struggle Of capital and
labor, you will find the man Of small
means securing to himself g. small por-
ton Of: the earth, which he can r. call
his own and from which when other
occupations fail he cantHmaintain an
independence and draw a livelihood.
Look at our own counties Of St. Louis
and Carlton. People are, not, even wait
ing until the timber is removed, but are
buying up every acre Of cheap land
for themselves, or, securing a tract
for their children who are growing up.
Every acre Of land where the tim
Der has been cut is sought after, and
many who have lived in a prairie coun-
try where they have had to be idle
during the winter, buy coal and wood
at enormous cost, and from where they
would have to ship their goods over
railways to far off, markets at so
great cost, are now coming into our
work all winter long at the highest
wages, where it costs them nothing
for fuel, and where they are so close
to the markets at the head of the
lakes that they can haul their pro-
duce to the cities and savetif they wish
the small cost Of any railway charges.
There have been SO many excursions
to this point Of late,,4tha the adyan..
tages of this locality. as farming
country have come to. the notice Of
people from; Iowa. from Wisconsin, from
the Dakotas, and from southern Mime
sofa, and as consequence every acre
Of available farming land is being
picked up, and every acre that con-
tains,s good hardwood, timber is sought
after,

side there is but one candidate for the

publican support on election day, and
notwithstanding, that there is big
Republican majority to overcome, we
have seen just as strange things hap
pen as Mr.. Miller's election to the office
of sheriff. Indeed we have profound corlF
nection that Mr.. Miller will be the
next sheriff of st. Louis county, and
that no one will regret the choice.
There is an abundance Of candidates
for nomination to all the county offices.
Next to sheriff probably the warmest
contest will be for county superintend-
ent of schools. There are three candi-

1t is often quite inexpedient fol
a President to be too specific in his
recommendations as to legislation
Congress has no mean opinion OF
it's own wisdom. 1t does not rel.
ish advice as to the exact mode in
which it shall legislate.
The President may properly urge
upon Congress the desirability of
dealing with the trust question
upon the general lines he has indi-
Gated, but it is not expedient fol
him to go too much into details.

CHANGES IN EARTH'S SURFACE.

Few persons have any idea OF
the tremendous influence of weather
changes and rainfall on the land
surface of the earth. On this
point the remarks of that eminent
authority, Prof. Davis of Harvard,
made in his new work, "Elemen-
tary Physical Geography" are of
great interest. According to the
professor, "although the changes
caused in the form Of lands by
weathering and washing are grad
nal, they have been so long CONT
nued that marvellous results have
been produced. Not only are the
lands deeply dissccted where val
leys have been worn in plateaus
and mountains, but whole mountain
ranges have been worn down TO
lowlands. The forms of the land
to-day can be appreciated only
when it is seen that they are the
present stage Of a long series of
changes"

1t is said that Il young girl has
just died in the asylum at Hamburg
who possessed the peculiar gift of
changing the color of her hair,
according to the state Of her mind.
In "periods of scdateness" the hair
was its natural color; when excited
it became reddish, and her anger
was indicated by a blonde color.
Three days was generally required
for the change to be completed, and
her complexion also varied IN the
same periods and in the same direc-
ton.
