Henry WadsvOrth LongfellOw.
BY ROBE TUS LOVE.
RIPE scholar
and poet Of the
people.

N ONGFELLOW has been called by
critic the poet Of the COM
monplace." Some friends of the
beloved American poet have re
scented this Characterization but others
have accepted it with thanks to the
critic. These latter hold that it is
glory enough for a poet to glorify the
commonplace, to see AND express the
beauty of simple things, as Longfellow
has done.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellOw was a
ripe scholar, one of the best educated
men of his time He was reader Of
many literatures in many languages.
Much of his work consists of transla-
tons from other tongues, the poet put
ting into simple and lucid English
verse the thoughts of other men, but
introducing also much of the person
atty of the translator. BY far the
larger bulk of his writings is original,
and much of this work is distinctively
of American flavor ana inspiration.
Longfellow in "Hiawatha' produced
the first great American poem Of epic
length and treatment. In this work
the poet brought the neglected and de
spised American Indian for the first
time into poetic literature, He per
ceived and gave expression to the ro-
nance of the abOrigine.
But it is by his briefer poems, the
lyrical pieces that Longfellow is best
known to the great mass of the people
"The Psalm Of Life" has passed into
current speech. The Chidren's Hour,
1.-The Bridge" The Arsenal at Spring
field" and score of lyrics in simple
and tender strain have become a part
of the life of English speaking people
everywhere. In the sonnet, one of the
most artistic forms of poetic expires.
sion, Longfelow still stands unsur-
passed in American literature.
Other poets have arisen in America
some few of whom have shown high
er genius in creative work. but Long
fellow. the kindly old Harvard profess
or, the poet of The Village Black
smith," remains. when all is said and
done, the most widely popular of
American poets, not only on this side
of the Atlantic. but across the sea as
well Longfellow was the peoples poet
because he wrote so lucidly that the
people could understand and appre-
ciate. because he made the common
place poetic.

Rreedinn Dairy Cows

In breeding dairy COWS a man should
have a definite object in view. Too
many shift from beef to dairy when
dairy products are high and beef prod
ucts are low and then shift back again
from dairy to beef when beef rises in
value BY this method a man is con
stantly shifting from one breed to an.
other and as a result he is getting a
herd that is good for neither milk nor
beef A man must have an ideal to-
ward which lac is breeding and then
bend ali his energies 10 that end This
shifting from one breed to another is
suicidal policy that will ruin any man
and any hers. Kansas Experiment
