SOME OF THE KICKERS.

SOME OF THE KICKERS.
Hopeful Harry Tells why Some Men Find
Fault With Others When Only Them
SELVES are to Blame.
The season thus far has been very
unfavorable for the prosperity of
farmers and upon the prosperity of
farmers depends the prosperity of
nation. If there is failure of the
crops of the husbandman there is a
collapse in all business departments.
It is not the tiller of the soil alone,
that suffers but all classes suffer more
Or less, so when we have such cool,
wet, unfavorable season as we have
had for the past two and the present
season it is not strange that people,
and especially farmers, become some
what discouraged and it seems to be
the nature of man to find fault with or
complain of his lot and some men are
much worse than others; in fact there
is large per cent Of human beings
that are pessimists, they make them
selves unhappy and try to make
others the same. I fail to see where
there is any good in faultfnding
disposition. The Creator surely has
more wisdom than the created and He
made laws to govern all created things
and those laws are for the good of
mankind and are Interchangeable and
where there is a failure of success it
shows lack of wisdom on the part of
man.
It man locates in dry, arid
country and fails to raise crops it
shows a lack of wisdom, but if he has
means to irrigate he is wise. So,
also, if a man locates in place that
is low and swampy and where there is
much rain it is not the fault of the law
governing nature if he fails to raise
good crops, but lack of wisdom on
the part of the man. Now each of the
above men can make a success if they
adapt themselves to the conditions of
the places where they locate, but some
men have become SO accustomed to
finding fault that they think they are
always right and the other fellow is
always wrong. For instance 90 into
any place where there is creamery
and we find men that are being robbed
by the manager, usually called the
butter maker. To illustrate: Mr.. A.
and Mr.. B. are neighbors. Each man
has herd of twelve COWS and each
get about the same quantity of milk
and each takes his milk to the cream
cry and at the end of the month each
men receives his pay. Mr.. A. receives
$1,000 and Mr.. B. receives 1925. 90.
Now it is human nature for Mr.. B. to
be very angry and he tells every man
| he meets what a scoundrel the butter
maker is. Now the facts in the above
case are these: Mr.. AS milk con-
tanned six per cent butter fat while
Mr.. BIS contained only two per cent.
but Mr.. B. will not be convinced of
this fact for he knows he has got lust
as good COWS as Mr.. A. The above
are extreme cases but we have known
herds OF COWS and some of them tested
six per cent while others tested only
two per cent, therefore no man can be
justified in finding fault with his milk
test until he has tested each cows
milk separately. We know man who
had COW that he valued at $50, be-
cause she gave a large quantity of
milk, but when he tested her milk he
found she was worth only 500. There
is also some dissatisfaction in regard
to the test of cream. Some men
think that all cream ought to test
nearly the same; this is a very erone-
Gus idea; one man arranges his sepa-
rator so as to give him large GUAM
THY OF cream, another man adjusts his
separator to get thick rich cream: now
IT the thin, poor cream man expects
his cream to test the same as the thick
rich cream man he will be disap-
pointed, and yet there are men who
are so deficient in knowledge in re-
gard to the difference between rich
land poor cream, good and poor
