THE FARMERS CLOTHES.
They should BE Neat and Well FIT
ting and Worn with the Man
ners OF Gentleman

In this day of agricultural colleges
and agricultural journalism, ready ac-
cess to high-class literature, tele-
phones, free delivery of mail and cleo
tric railways, when the farmer is no
longer isolated and uneducated, but
man learned in the sciences, in art and
literature, and embracing in his voca-
ton the best that is in botany, chem
istry, geology and natural philosophy,
the contempt sometimes shown the
countryman certainly proves that
there is something out of joint.
The cause of this attitude must lie
in the oddness of wearing apparel or
general carelessness or utter disre-
gard of pers onal appearance displayed
by many a farmer when he visits the
metropolitan center. 1t is not expen-
sive clothing that marks a we'll
dressed man, be he from country or
city, but care, neatness and cleanliness
and avoiding of oddly in personal APP
pearance. There are no successful
farmers who cannot afford to wear
as good clothes as nine-tenths of the
city men.
The average farmer cannot follow
all the latest styles, but he need not be
aslouchy, gawking specimen of human
ity, bringing down contempt not only
on himself, but on farmers as a class.
1t is hard for farmer to appear any
thing but a farmer, do. the best he can,
but this fact need not worry him any
if he will only strive to bring his call
ing to the point where it will be recog-
nized as it is. When he is at work on
his farm, when he goes to the home
village or town market, and when he
hauls his produce along the highway,
no matter how he is dressed, the farm
er is not looked upon with disfavor by
any well-bred persons; he is then mere
~ at work and is respected by those
with whom he comes in contact the
same as any other good, honest work
ingman is; but when he lays aside his
affairs of the farm and goes into the
city on business or pleasure it is I'M
doubtedly a duty he owes to his voca-
ton and to his fellow men to present
as good an appearance as his means
will admit. If he.is to be respected by
CnOSe VINO nave no other means or
estimating him, meeting him but cas-
ually as they do, than by his personal
appearance and manner, he must pay
some attention to attire, cleanliness
and manners. He must not neglect
those little courtesies that mark prop
er consideration of others, and that
belong to the well-bred man. He must
not be odd, nor rude, nor uhcouth.
Good clothes and good manners will
obliterate self-consciousnes which
makes one awkward and i'll at ease in
the presence of others, and will de-
velOp that proper amount of self
esteem which makes man scorn to be
odd or untidy or uncouth, and which
will enable him to easily adapt him.
self with quiet imperturbed demeanor
to his surroundings, however polished
and cultured. 1t is easier to say this
than to do it, but like all character
development it must be worked for
with the hardest of effort and most
constant practice.-J. G. Allshouse, in
Ohio Farmer
