Life on the Small Farm
Machinery Does the Heavy Work,
While the Farmer Rides ana
Guides.

tBy Mary c. Blue, Hamler, Ohio.)
When looking only on the sur.
face farming seems to some people
to be degrading occupation. One
reason for this is they imagine
there is much more drudgery in
other vocations. There is ssome
real drudgery in every walk in life
if one is to achieve success; but
the farmer is making rapid progress
along the line of labor saving de-
vices.
He rides when he plants his
corn. rides when he plouehs it.
rides when he outs it. the machine
ties it into bundles, the corn is
husked by mschine and the fodder
is shredded for feed. The farmer
rides when he mows his aEass.
bitches hay loader to the wagon
to load the hay and the hay fork
unioads it. He rides when har-
vesting grain and does his ditchinR
with machine.
The Wiudmill pumps the water;
the gasoline engine runs the ohurn
and separator. grindS the feed, saws
the wood and performs other la-
borious tasks The farmer has free
mail delivery. which allows him
to oome in touch with the world.
He has a telephone in his house,
which saves great deal OF time
and gives pleasure in talking With
ueighbors and friends. Nearly
all his heavy work is now done
with machinery and he has time
to see his hogs. sheep and horses
grow into money.
The farmer has the best in the
land to eat. and he doesn't have to
call on the board of health to see
if his fruits and vegetables contain
deadly acids or If his milk is adul-
terated. Neither does he have 70
eat stale vegetables aud butter that
has been exposed to many odors
and dirt, if indeed. it is butter.
People doing we'll on farm take
no scoount of these little pleasuees.
and think they will better their
condition by moving to town. The
farmer is the most independent
man on the face of. the earth. He
can just please himself for he oun
be absolutely true to his own con,
victions.
Sometimes when We have q poor
crop. lose horse. have sickness or
other oalamities, we are inclined
to think everything on the farm is
uncertain, and that the regular
salary of the man in town is an ad-
vantage. But when misfortune
comes to the man in town, often
the regular salary is used up before
the end of the month. and when
sickness comes to the worker the
salary often ceases York

NmetnOul6t AuVOcat0-
It is worth something to a man
to belong to a good family.
Many fellow is praying for rain
with his tub wrong side up.
Il you tell me what you love and
hate. l will tell yon your character.
Lets quit singing the Sweet
Bye and Bye and sing the Sweet
Now and Now.
It takes less sense to oriticise
than to do anything else. There
are great many critics in the
asylum,
When you find man that is
FIRST class at some one thing. you
lSill find him pretty good for every.
else.
The Christian who will do things
in New York that he would not do
at home is a very poor Christian.
Idon't think much of dignity.
My observation is that the more
dignity a man has the nearer dead
he is.
There is more religion in laugh
ing than in Crying. If religion
consists of crying, I have the best
boy in the world.
Thank God, this old world has
never seen the time when it did not
take it's hat off and make decent
bow to good woman.
The back door of church ought
to be opened onoe a year. to give
all who have not lived up to its
rules a chance to pass out.
The roar of commerce. the cliok
of the telegraph, and the whistle of
the engine have we'll nigh drowned
the voice of God.
Earnestness can not be feigned
It is like the natural and healthfnl
glow on the maiden's cheek oom-
pared to the artificial ooloring pro-
duoed by rouge
I rather like the expression of
that good old woman who Dried
cut: 10 Lord, if you will only
save me in this world. you shsll
never hear the last of it in the
next"
If I had oreed I would sell it
to a museum. Greed shows itself
in the laws of the last few hundred
years. 1t was over creed that men
fought. and not over Christ.
You have no more right to Haunt
you diamonds and your riches in
the face of the poor man than you
have to shake bread in the face of
a hungry man and not give him
any of it.
Poor sermons and poor exhorta-
ton, with the spirit of earnestness
behind them, will yield richer
fruits than the most powerful logic
and ornate chetoTlc. without the
spirit of earnestness
Let me say to you: If you can't
help but one family in town, let
that be the family which need the
help. I have got a profound oon-
tempt for folks who are always
helping those don't need any help
Religion is like measles; if it
goes in on you it will kill you.
The trouble with great many
Christians in this oity is, religion
has gone in on them. Keep it

We little preachers think that we
are doing 6rst rate if we take text
