Some Blessings of Farm Life.

From a recent work entitled THE Fat
of the Land" from the pen of j. w.
Streeter. we take the following extract:
III farming be the art Of elimination, 1
want 1t not. II the farmer and the farm
er's family must. by the nature of the &C.
cupation, be deprived OF reasonable luxury
and leisure, If the conveniences and ameni-
ties must be shorn close, if comfort must
be denied and life be reduced to the ele-
mental necessities Of food and shelter, I
want 1t not. But l do not believe that
this is the case. The wealth of the world
comes from the land. which produces all
the direct and immediate essentials for
the preservation of life and the protection
of the race. When people cease to look
to the land for support, they lose their
Independence and fall under the tyranny
of circumstances beyond their control.
They are no longer producers, but con-
sumers; and their prosperity is contin-
gent upon the prosperity and good will
of other people who are more or less alien.
Only when a considerable percentage OF a
nation Is living close to the land can the
highest type of Independence and pros
perity be enjoyed. This law applies to
the mass and also to the individual. The
farmer, who produces all the necessities
and many OF the iu&uries, and whose
products are i'll constant demand and new
er out of vogue, should be independent
In mode of life and prosperous In his for
tunes. IL lllS Is not the COn0ltlOn OF the
average farmer (and l am sorry to say it
is not, the fau!t Is to be found, not in
the land. but in the man who tills it.
'Ninety-tive per cent. of those who en-
gage in commercial and professional oc-
equations fail of large success; more than
% per cent. fail utterly, and are doomed to
miserable, dependent lives in the service
of the more fortunate. That farmers do
not fail nearly SO often is due to the boun-
ty OF the land, the beneficence of nature,
and the ever recurring seed time and har-
vest, which even the most thoughtless
cannot interrupt"
With the Introduction of conveniences
for home and farm. with the Improvement
of our means of communication and espe-
cially with the wave of enlightenment that
has passed over the farms of America
during the last quarter century, the life of
the producer has become not one of grind
Ing toll. but of pleasure giving reETaocctl
Those who contemplate - ~ 80
ment made above, namely, that '95 per
cent. of those who engage In commercial
and professional occupations fail of large
SUCCESS before taking the final step.
While the producer has lots TO contend
with in the way of u%nfavorable climatic
conditions. etc, yet he is seldom har-
raised to anything like the same extent
as the man whose business success de-
ponds upon the tide of affairs in thickly
populated centers.-Iowa Homestead.

cataIpa Trees for Farms.

Much has been written regarding the
need of renewing the forests of this coun-
Try and the suggestion made that farmers
might help along this good work by set
ling several acres in some good forest
tree. Whilc 1t is generally best to set
trees Of some class native to the soil the
catalpa is becoming popular for general
planting because OF It's hardness and
:ather quick growth. Mistakes rave been
made, however, in setting the wrong va
:iety, for 1t has been demonstrated that
catalpa speciosa is easily propagated, is
hardy, grows straight and the wood is
much more valuable than Catalpa big
lonoides of which SO many trees have
,een set and proved Disappointing. Cat
llpas may be readily grown from seed and
ransplanted when about two years old.
When they should be set in rows eight
.eet apart and not less than four feet
ipart In the row. Farmers cannot hand
Town to posterity any better legacy han
t wood lot Of liberal size and they may
10 1t at small expense.

Peruna strikes at the very center Of
the difficulty, by Graduating the catarrh
from the kidneys. Catarrh is the cause
of kidney difficulty. Remove the cause
and you remove the effect. With
unerring accuracy Peruna goes right to
the spot. The kidneys are soon doing
their work with perfect regularity.
