Beauties of Country Life.

Texas will lose part of the good
contained in the following from
the American Farmer. because
Texans has no real cities in the
sense of cities as understood by
those of the East, where one is cut
off entirely from view of the coun-
thy, but its publication is justi6able
anyhow;
Unless we have lived in the city
we can never fully appreciate the
country. The swaying grain, the
blooming flowers. the sweet
breathed clover and the whispering
trees all testify 20 the truth that
God made the country, man
made the town. " It is necessary
for our well being. both physically
and morally, that we sometimes
get away from the artihciality OF
the city into the pure free coun-
try.
Especially is this true of our
children. The child who has
never enjoyed the country is
defrauded and mis- life dwarfed.
City children should spend two
or three months each summer in

the country. An elaborate ward
robe is not necessary; let the chill
dren have strong, dark clothes,
that will stand climbing trees,
riding in the hay wagon, sliding
down haystacks, falling into creeks
and making mud pies. Mothers
should have suitable dresses to
wear when they go with the chill
dren on long tramps for flowers,
nuts or berries. It's amusing the
way in which some of our city
women prepare to visit the country.
There are delicate dresses for them
selves and children, only fit for
receptions or to sit in on shady
piazzas. 1t is cruel to make slaves
to dress at any time, but it s doubly
so to hamper them in the country,
by clothing unsuitable for coun-
try pleasure.
If you would get the most pos
sible good from the time spent in
the country, be sensible; wear
country clothes; eat country food;
think country thoughts and you
will be the better for it during the
rem. ainder of your life.

Worth a Whole Lot.

The young man who knows
how to lay off corn and potato
rows, and to regulate the distance
of the same so as to get the great
est crops, is worth a COW pen full
of kid glove fellows who know
how to lead a fashionable waltz.
Setting a plow just right and adj
justing the gears so that they will
not injure the horse are worth a
thousand fold more to the country
than to know how TO pose in a
parlor. Yes, a girl who can cook
meat and potatoes just right is
