A Farmers View.

81 don't know as I like the town
as we'll as the farm" said a retired
farmer one day." and I have notion
to move back there. The other
morning my wife sent me to the
market for little slice of beefsteab
for breakfast. It was only quarter
and we discussed it at the table as
fairly good eating, then my wife
said we must have few potatoes for
dinner and [ started for the store and
bought a whole bushel. l gave the
clerk dollar and he gave back two
little dimes with the remark that
potatoes were eighty cents per bushel
This Jared me little, but I took my
medicine and went home only to find
that chicken was wanted for my
dinner. Well, [ went to the butcher
and got one of those pin feathered
blue things threw down half dollar
and got nickel back. Goodness me,
that is awful. At this rate it will
cost me five dollars day to live here
l said to myself, and l shall go bank
rupt in just nine months or mortgage
the farm. This thing of paying
money for honey and every little
thing we have to eat keeps me RUM
ing to the bank for money every day,
and | don't like it. Out en- the farm
we have nearly every in meats, vege-
tables, fruit, and honey and seems as
free as the water we pump from the
we'll. Another thing is we don't have
the comforts of country life. The
streets are dusty, and intoxicated men
and boisterous young people annoy
me. The surroundings belong to the
public and I don't feel | have any
place | can call my own without be-
ing more or less molested or imposed
on. | am made to, participate in
paying for electric lights, cement
walks and other things, don't need
and az a citizen Of the village | !
license saloons and other things in
which I have no part personally.
With the rural mail service and tele-
phone connection / believe the farm
is much the better place to live
whether one works the farm or not
and the practice O farmers moving
into town is mistake, unless they
have some business or occupation to
absorb their attention, which seems
10 mo tho on.y thing TO make city life
endurable, l see plainly now that /
either have to do something or go
back to the farm.-Cannon Falls

Auditor Greenwaldt has invited the
township trustees, clerks and others
interested in road matters, to attend
the institute next Wednesday, when he
hopes to have the subject of the new
road laws brought up and discussed.
There has Il big change been made in
the road laws. These changes go into
effect this year. 1t would be well if
the township officers and citizens gen.
orally understood the new arrange
ments. Each towdship is made into
one road district. There are no road
supervisors, but road superintendent
in each township, if the work is not
let by contract. 1t is optional with
the township whether the road work
will be let by contract. All the prop
erty road tax is to be paid in cash.
1t is quite revolution.
