The Successful Farmer.

Is 1t not strange that in every county and in almost every pre- cinct that you may visit there is at least one farmer known as a corn grower. He rarely or never fails. The dry and the wet sea sons come and go but he "makes corn" and "sells corn" So in every county there is found the man "who grows his own meat and regardless of cholera and bad crops keeps his smoke house on his own farm. This peculiar man is some times a successful truck grower or fruit raiser. He may assume one of several forms, but we may safely call hIm "Mr. Know How." The average farm CT often looks upon him as some what of d conjurer, but at bottom we find his success due to intelli- gent effort. Farm and Ranch.

 And the frost may bite and nip, You can never stop the advent of

 Will get there just the same; And when his journeys ended,
 Will come smiling from his trip, For he always makes connection
 Does the Drummer and his Grip. Oh, he teaches us a lesson
 With his energy and grit, For things that paralize most people
 Don aStonish him one bit; He is always bright and cheerful
 And q smile is on his lip; He's daisy from away back,
 Is the Drummer and his Grip. Have a kind word for him always,
 He will give you back the same, For the doings of one black sheep
 Don't give the whole tribe blame, For, away deep down in Hades
 Some so-called good men slip, While along the road to Heaven
 Goes the Drummer and his Grip.
