When the frost is on the pump
kin vine the farmers Of Grant
county may gather round the
hearth with their families land say
what more could I ask? With this
wonderful crop of hay, oats, and
corn it will pay off that little
mortgage, as well as send the boy
to college and purchase a few
extras for the house so long talked
about. The merchant, baker and
candle stick maker may we'll do a
little rejoicing too as prosperity for
for the farmer means prosperity for
all.
Another slick scheme to catch
the unwary farmer has just been
developed. A stranger comes along
and proposes to sell the farmer q
bill of groceries and agrees to take
for pay eggs at Is cents per dozen.
To make the trade all straight the
grocery man takes the farmers
note for his groceries that never come
neither does the man come after
the eggs, but in a few days the
farmer gets notice that some
neighboring bank holds the note he
gave the stranger. The farmer has
the grocery mans note,to be sure,
but it is not worth the paper which
it is written upon. The farmer gets
beat every time he signs paper
for stranger.
A western agriculturist Is
knocking on the farmer who quits
work and moves to town to Loaf
the rest of his life. The greatest
satisfaction a man can have is the
feeling that he is really accomplish
ing something says he. There is
no satisfaction in simply sitting
around spelling good air by breath
ing it, doing nothing, amounting to
no more than a lame grasshopper. >
That is very true of farmer who
quits the country, not because he is
able to, but in hope of having an
easier time. But it does not hold
