will take tee OLD uau's view Of Il e.
which Is largely mistaken view. l.
they had stared On the farm they
wcrli have been ia closer touch with

with whom he is nos i'm uedisseiy re
!a'ei. He eau, however, keep close
20 cis boys and girls, their wives and
husbands. Tais, to our roind, Is the
greatest chjsction to reti ing from
the farm. Ii cuts you 0ff from TIE
very class with whom you ought to
have most Intimate association.
Keep doirg souetSing. No one ex
o. cts man over seveaty or even
ever sixty to do very much hard

man who has u ed his time wisely
d)n'5 hsvs IT,; tu5 the man who steps
work altogether, wto retires, very
materially shortens his days. No nat
Ter what the work is, 50 that it cccu
pies the attention and keeps his brain
busy. Wien the brain dies the o3dy
night as well be dead. The mare
vegetable OF animal existence is not
1ortl living. Mental act v;sy is es
sential to any life that Is worth liv'
ing.
Here is where the retired fsrner
makes another great mistake. He
often stops his agricultural paper
cuts himself IF from bis Cid lines OF
tncught and can't tske up any new
lines that require study. Hence he
d,ls himself up wiJh the gossip Of
the daily press end the news, much
OF which is misleading and wrong.

Take cheerful view OF the future.
