PROUD TO BE A FARMER.

am proud to be farmer. and will tell
you why:
Because the farmers life's the best of all
beneath the sky;
The farmers independent-he need not
Z cringe or crawl,
The world depends on him for bread-the
farmer feeds them all.
Although my work is sometimes hard, my
life is free from care;
The fields till are all my own-1 am mon
arch there;
1t is rugged, healthful life; the air is pure
and sweet
IT'S not the hot, foul, feverish air breathed
on your city street.
love the sunshine and the storm, the
snow, the sleet, the rain;
Whene'er a season passes by I wish 1t back
again;
I love to hear the hum of bees, where ap-
pie blossoms blow
And turn the gnarled and twisted limbs to
drifted heaps of snow;
love to see the COWS come home In single
file at eve,
To let the farm boy milk them there, and
then their food receive.
The din that fills the city streets has not
single charm
For me- 1 love the nobler life lead upon
the farm.
The laughter of the running brook Is
sweeter far than words;
What prima donna ever sang as sweetly
as the birds?
The grandest play that ever came from
Shakespeare's magic pen
Can never wake the better thoughts asleeI
in most of men
AS quick as can the frightened rush Of
storm clouds through the air,
The night winds Whisper in the corn, the
wheat fields ,rustling prayer;
For Natures plays God writes Himself
and that's their sweetest charm;
Rehearsed each day in some new way
see them on the farm.

I raise
Are mine, as are the rock-ribbed hills OF
which my cattle Craze; ~
The corn that stands in solid ranks beside
the emr raid lane,
The naples that at autumn's touch burs
out in sheets of flame,
The wheat that fills the old barns bin
with kernels small of gold,
The sheep with white and f1eecy coats tha
seek each night the fold,
Are mine-all mine! No wonder that fin
life's sweetest charm
Not in the citys crowded streets, but dow
upon the farm.
