BEAUTIES OF THE FARM

opportunity for the man OF brains
TO make more money on the farm b,
the use OF his brains than he can By
putting his brains 70 any other le
climate business use. We believe
that the farm Is going to be the Ill
innate future solution OF the over
crowded condition OF the city We
are pleased to note the same tone
in the following cllpplns from the
Courler-Gazette, OF Mckinney, IA
vorably commented on by the Record
OF Fort Worth, and give the two
articles, for the benefit OF Panhqn'
die readers:
Don't be in a hurry young man
to leave the farm. You are at the
hub. You are the pivot around
which all else In the commercial
world revolves. You feed the nation
and you support the government,
II YOU stay on the farm and produce
something with your labor you are
doing something for the world. In
the store, the office or the shop you
may be a convenience, and you may
help the world live easier and more
luxuriously, but the man on the farm
pays you for your labor and you are,
In fact, his hirellng. True, you may
not be able to see It in this light,
owing to the dlsorganized condition
Of your profession, but the time is
coming ere this generation passes
away when you will be in command
OF all things affecting commerce, and
your independence, which is now
greater than any other trade or pro-
fession, will be complete, Stay on
the farm and be worth something in
reality" 49, Mckinney Courier-Ga-
zette.
THE profession OF farming is one
of the most honorable and inviting
among all OF the professions, while
the drudgery OF the farm is the hard
est kind OF work. II depends upon
the man who is engaged In the busl-
ness whether he shall make of his
work drudgery or a profession The
day is at hand when the intelligent
farmer is going to have something
to say about the affairs OF life, and
when he says It the world is going
to abide by what he says. No longer
is 1t considered smart to poke fun
at the farmer when he comes TO
town, for there are too many people
who are depending upon what the
farmer brings to town and what he
does for them to allow such booHsh
actions to be INDUCED in. In the
profession OF farming the individual
is absolutely independent, and when
he puts his brain TO work he has
the assurance that his efforts will be
sure to have a reasonable degree of
success at least He Is not depend
ent upon the call OF other individ-
uals as is the professional man in
other walks of life, hut he enjoys
an independence that is at once
wholesome and elevating. There is
no more pleasant occupation on
earth than that of farming. although
there are a good many people on the
farms who cannot figure out why this
can be said. They cannot figure
out, either, why so many men in the
cities lie awake at nights worrying
about the affairs of tomorrow, and
they cannot figure out why the man
in town gets gray before the natural
years of his life makes such change
to be expected. The farmer goes to
his rest with consciousness that he
is at peace with the world, and while
he sleeps nature in her bounty keeps
his crops growing and his herds in
creasing in value, and, above all OF
this, he is not harassed by the whlms
and notions of myriad of people
who assume to be his masters. There
is no opening for the young man to-
day that is as inviting as that OF
professional farmer Many young
man turns his back upon the best
chance he will ever have in the world
and goes to town to take job that
Will barely keep him alive and as he
grows older In life, under the indus
trial system of the age, his chances
for work and good pay diminish
while his expenses increase until at
last he is compelled to give up the
struggle in despair and he may count
himself lucky II he has roof under
which to lay his head. On the other
hand, the young man who sticks TO
the farm, with an easy mind, and
as the years go by his possessions in
crease in value until the time comes
when he would cease work and he
