JOYS OF THE FARM

The joys and pleasures of the
farmer are expatiated on from time
to time by writer's in the papers and
magazines, and city men sometimes
are led to believe that the farmer s
life is all roses and sunshine.
Simply continual 10 md of feast.
ing and merry making. The most
independent and careless creature
on earth, free from all the cares and
vicissitudes of life.
We know that farm life contains
many pleasures and joys that are
denied to the city man, hemmed in
4 by the bleak walls of his surround
ings. The farmer can inhale the
fresh pure air Of spring and feel its
cooling zephyrs fan his cheeks as
he takes his last look at the heavens
ere retiring and determines whether
II will likely be safe to start the
mower on the morrow.
He can enjoy the cackling of the
hens in the barn as they announce
deposit of another egg added to his
wealth. He can watch the swine
and the steer growing into money
and figure if they will meet the
, mortgag..
'Tis a pleasure to see the rich
dark green of the growing corn and
figure on the prospective yield. The
yellowlng fields of wheat are beauu-
full to the farmers eye, especially
when the yield is promising and
the price is good. Fresh vegetables
lust from she garden are delight
and a thousand and ooe thugs
arise to bless the farmers life a, d
make it Fleasurable. Yet h re are
some draw backs that ad darker
ground 60 the picture of perft ct
bliss.
The farmer plants sEd cold rains
come aud the seed cots in the
kground, 1t comes ue and is at
tackled toy the cutwocm, the wire
worm and the army worm and he
don't know whether be will raise a
crop or not.
From sun up t. suR down in the
long hpt summer days he will toll In
the du1t and dirt OF the field and
befor sun up and after ir goes down
look after the stock and the chores.
The pigs are to feed the COWS to
milk, The horses to care for. The
calf tc be taught to drink and the
sick cow to be drencbed. The hogs
to be penned and their noses wrung.
A hole in the hedge to be stopped
and the garden worked.
The fly gets in the wheat and the
stand is bad! 1t freezes and thaws
in the spring and heaves it out of
the grouad. A hail storm strikes
a part of the field and destroyes II.
The wevil gets In and damages the
grain. A. wet harvest causes great
deal of wallowing around IN the
mud with men, and tea ls and the
grain rots in the shock The river
rises and washes it away. So the
pleasures are somewhat mixed up
with anxieties and disappointments.

per cent for the calendar year 1926,
and of little over 10 per cent IN
net earnings. And 1905. il will be
remembered, broke all records
along to that time in railroad in
ccme. The reason why the net
earnings fall little below the gross
earnings is that wages and the pr c. S
of materials have gone up i'll the
past twelve months. This in itself
is one Of. the evidences of good
times. The fact, however, that net
earnings continue a, high figures
shows Il a the roats are not in as
bad a condition as Mr.. Hill would
ike to have the country believe.
His state ments that general poll
cies of retrenchment are under
way" al d the railroads are "plac-
ing fewer orders" do not tally with
he figures of the snops In Plttsburs,
New York, Chicago, St. Loais and
other centers which furnish locomo-
tives, steel rails, cars and other
supplies for the roads. 1heir tes'i-
mony is that the orders which are
ahead of them are greater than ever
before, and that these orders ale
mounting to higher and higher fI-
ures. All the shops IN the country
which are furnishing rolling stock

full capacity, and still can not meet
the demands made upon hem.
The country should keep in mind
the fact that Mr.. HI | S an expert III

feat, for the present executive oi
the nation has said more things on
more subjects in the past three OF
four years than any four of his pre-
decessors combined ever did in the
same length of time. Mr.. Hill gets
in the papers because he is promi

DECREE OF MAFIA.
Lone Mountaineer Killed by Agents Of
Dread Italian Society.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. 4.--Lugi
Marcucchi who was found dead last
Thursday in his lonely cabin six miles
from Gait, Is now believed to have been
a victim Of the Malta.
Marcucchi was found by ranch hands
seated upon beer keg in his cabin. his
head resting upon table from which
the blood still trickled to the floor. II
was believed at first that he had died
from hemorrhage, but when the blood
was washed away last evening by the
coroner; bullet wounds were found in
the back Of his head
At the inquest today the men who dis
covered Marcucchis dead body testified
that they found the windows closed and
the door closed and securely fastened on
the outside. The assassin had evidently
fired upon Marcucchi from the doorway
oi his cabin. Marcucchi's two hunting
dogs had been shut up in the cabin with
his dead body.
The district attorney in advancing the
theory that Marcucchi was murdered by
the Malta, argues that tie weIl-known
poverty of the victim precluded the posi-
bility of robbery as motive.

Old Glory humiliatad.

One instance Is known In which Old
Glory's shame is the crown of fam
ily's prestige. At the battle of Bla-
densburg the American troops were
defeated by the British under the COM
mand Of an Irish officer named Ross.
In recognition Of his services In win
ming this victory his sovereign granted
him the title Of Ross Of Bladensburg,
and to his crest was added an Amer
lean flag, reversed, with the shaft
broken. The title Is hereditary. In
our generation the possessor is a colo
mel Of the Irish fusileers. And this
Ross Of BIadensburg uses as his crest
today our stars and stripes turned up
side down and with the shaft broken
in two. Chicago Record Herald.

Recipe for a World.

Take one man, woman and a gar.
den. Add an apple and a good fresh
snake. Stir gently until the pot be-
gins to boil, then drain off the apple
and keep adding children. Simmer on
slow fire, then put on ice. Alternate
between the two extremes, giving the
whole a good, sound basting when
needed, turning slowly in a proper
space. Keep adding time until the
mass is of the consistency of a mud
pie covered with ants. Multiply the
inhabitants and garnish with villages,
towns, cities and empires. Now in.
troduce little theology and enough
devil sauce to spice. Keep adding
battle, murder, sudden death and
good layer of cant, Put plenty of salt
in the water and sprinkle with bad
society. When your yorld is finished
throw 1t in the fire and begin all over
again. -Leesburg Buckeye.
