Librarian Dana, Scholar and Farmer.

The "In the Air" man of the New
ark, N. j., Evening News writes;
Few patrons of the Free Public
Library suspect that the scholarly
oentlemap- no ngesid loo alros- q 49,
TIMED Of that Institution is a farmer.
But farmer Mr.. Dana is whenever
he can escape the cares of librarian
ship. Mr.. Dana's farm in Vermont
is said to be model in every respect
and an inspiration to all men who
pursue agriculture as a means OF
livelihood.
Most of his vacations Mr.. Dana
spends ON his broad and rolling
acres. When other toilers, freed from
town, are blistering their arms on a
bathing beach, or catching clubs and
rheumatism in icy trout brooks, or
laboriously rowing hotel boats over
crowded lakes, Mr.. Dana is calmly
enjoying the simple life and really
getting back to the soil. During the
two or three weeks a year that he
spends in the Green Mountain state
he follows strict farm routine, hoe
ing his wheat, training his pumpkin
bushes-over their trellises and milk
ing his four Holstein COWS, while all
the neighbors watch him over the
worm-fence and take lessons in in
dustry.
With such enthusiasm as he gives
to his work with the bookworms, Mr..
Dana conducts his farm. The pigs
are neatly labeled on their leather
backs; and the chickens are account
ed for in a card catalogue. Mr.. Dana
is regarded as an authority in farm
matters, and the initials -. G. D."
appear frequently in such papers as
the Orange Judd Farmer, the North
western Agriculturist and the Mont
pelier Sap-Buyer.
1t is said that Mr.. Dana has often
been advised to give up general farm
ing and go in exclusively for maple
sugar, but he believes that continual
cultivation of cane would weaken his
land.
Mr.. Dana's favorite book is MRS.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"
