Some BLESSINGS of Farm Life.

From a recent work entitled The Fat
eof 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
.el's family must. by the nature of the oc-
capation. be deprived of reasonable luxury
and leisure. IL the conveniences and ameni-
ties must be shorn close, If comfort must
pe denied and life be reduced to the ele-
mental necessities of food and shelter, I
want 1t not. But / 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
she 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 otner people who are more or less alien.
Only when a considerable percentage of a
nation is living close to the Ian can the
highest type of independence and pros
pe1ity be enjoyed. This law applies to
tie mass and also to the individual. The
farmer, who produces all the necessities
ana many of the %iuNuries, and whose
products are in constant demand and new
er out of vogue, should be Independent
IN mode of life and prosperous in his for
tunes. II this is not the condition of the
average farmer (and L am sorry to say 1t
81 roo, the faul is to be found. not in
she land, but in the man who ti!ls it.
sNinety-iive per cent. of those who en-
gage in commercial and professional oc-
lions fail of large success; more than
81 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 beneEcence OF nature,
and the ever recurring seed time and har-
vest, which even the most thoughtiess
cannot interrupt"
With the Introduction of conveniences
for home and farm. with the Improvement
ct our means OF communications, and espe-
eiaiy 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 effort.
Those who contemplate turning their back
on the farm should consider well the state
inent made above. namely, that 80 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 unfavorabie climatic
conditions, etc, yet he Is seldom har-
rassed to anything like the same extent
as the man whose business success de-
ponds upon the tide of affairs in thicllly
populated centers.-Iowa Homestead.

Catalpa Trees for Farms,

Much has been written regarding tho
need OF renewing the forests OF this coun-
NY and the suggestion made that farmers
might heip along this good work by set
Ing several acres in some good forest
tree. While 1T is generally best to set
trees OF some class native to the soil the
Sataipa is becoming popular for general
7lanting because OF its hardness and
tather quick growth. Mistakes AVE been
made. however, In setting the wrong va

sured him, sandwiching in our words be-
tween the pealing ebullitions of our
mirth. You're on the wrong tack" we
repeted.
He wonderingly extracted the tack
from his person and sat down again. He
didn't say anything for some little time,
because he was rather hoarse from the
effects of his prior remarks.
How come?' he finally inquired.
why. that is Smiths chair you are sit
ting in" we explained o%bltgingly. I'VE
planted that tack for Smith"
A CLEAN of intelligence sufrused his
countenance. "oh. OH" said he knowing
ly. He replaced the tack IN Smiths chair
and took another seat. The idea tackled
him SO that he gould hardly tell Stella
whether to bring him poached eggs or q
chop.

alton of two causes. the decreased

Only five counties in the state have
a sinking fund. Middlesex isInot one
of these. The bonded debt of this
county is 1910, 600 and floating debt,

The cities of the state, large and
