THE FARMERS THANKSGIVING.

In the popular mind, farmers
are considered chronic grumblers,
and no one disputes that a certain
class Of farmers have earned the
title. Almost everyone can call
to mind some farmer of his ac-
quaintance who continues to plead
poverty long after his bank &C
count has placed him among the
"solid" men of the community,
and who is never willing 10 &C
knowledge prosperity. His fields
may groan with plenty, but crops
according to his tell" are only
tolerable". But it seems to the
writer that the youngest genera,
ton realize more fully the dignity
and importance of the calling and
show disposition to under-rate re-
suits. The prediction is ventured
here that our next Thanksgiving
day will dawn upon larger mum
her of thankful farmers than are
customarily enrolled among the
grateful ones; and this, too not
because they have gathered extra
ordinary harvest but because they
saved so much more than they ex-
pected.
