The Farmers Greed.

More than sixty years ago Henry
Ward Beecher, the great pulpit orator,
gave voice to the following farmers
creed, which possesses lasting quail
ties:
1--WE believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
"We believe that soil loves to eat.
as well as its owner, and ought there
fore to be literally fed.
1--WE believe in large crops which
leave the land better than they found
is-making the farmer and the farm
both glad at once
1--WE believe in going TO the bottom
of things, and, therefore, in deep plow-
ing and enough of its All the better
with a sub-soil pillow.
1--WE believe that every farm should
own q good farmer.
"We believe that the best fertilizer
for any soil is spirit of industry, en-
terprise and intelligence. Without
this, lime and gypsum, bones and
green manure, mari and guano will be
of little use.
1--WE believe in good fences, good
barns, good farmhouses, good stock,
good orchards, and children enough
to gather the fruit.
1--WE believe in a clean kitchen, a
neat wife in it, spinning wheel, a
clean conscience.
"We firmly disbelieve in farmers
that will not improve; in farms that
grow poorer every year; in starving
cattle; in farmers boys turning into
clerks and merchants; in farmers
ashamed of their vocation, or who
drink whiskey until honest people are
ashamed of them.

hartman al Close Range.

e. FL. Harriman an, the railroad mag
nate, is described and interpreted in
the A pril American Magazine. Follow
ing is a view OF the man at close range:
"He is not, in person, an appalling
igure-nothing like the steely. eyed
and panther. limbed heroes that were
the subjects Of Tom Lawson's twice.
told tales. He is short Of stature, but by
no means the frail creature that the
more enthusiastic Harrimanoclasts
have pictured. It would make these
earnest souls very happy Indeed ii
they knew Mr.. Hartman was hollow
checked and had cough. But he
isn't and hasn't. 1t is too bad, but
the facts must be stated. No consistent
invalid could undergo the strain that
man is under who works for nearly
half q century for the worlds chain
pionship in unpopularity.
ttMr. Hartman is big little man.
Until recently he was a good deal of
an athlete, and he is still muscular,
powerful and active. He Looks at least
ten years younger than his age and
appears to be about as happy in his
wickedness as Andrew Carnegie, who
is both good and popular, in his
virtue.
SIN manner he is decided, abrupt TO
the point of fmpoliteness, vigorous in
his language and bold in his criti-
cisms. He so persistently adopts q
tone of command in dealing with
everybody that one might think, If
one did not know of his great achieve
ments, that he assumed the manner to
conceal yacancy.''
