A FARMERS TALK TO FARMERS
The Heedessness of Trsspassers Not Thought
 lessness at the Bottom of lt-Hoe Nature and Human < Nature Wherein they Dffer-1ne Instructive Course
 of on uct-Wher, Reform is Needed.

(written Specially for The Bulletin.) )
 For watering a part of my stock have a common pitcher spout pump in the farm lane. It stands open to the weather, and in winter time the water has to be let out of the cylinder to prevent it's freezing Twice in the last three years I have had to buy new pumps because some neighbor, wanting a drink of water, has pumped himself some and then left the cylinder full to freeze and burst.
 The other day my sheep didn't come down at nightfall, as usual Previous experiences suggested the probable cause, and I made break" for the barway into the woods. As I expected it was open. Some hunter had let the bars down and left them so. The sheep. who have pretty we'll nibbled off the browse in the pastures, had taken advantage of the chance to get little more brush and leaves.
 Some years ago a fisherman, fishing in one of my low meadows, near the house. started to climb over a board fence. The boards were getting old and the nails rusty. He broke down the top board; then deliberately kick ed the next one off the posts and walked out. I was near the house, in plain sight of him, but he never at tempted to replace the boards nor to notify me of the damage he had done and ask for a hammer and nails to re- pair it.
 Waking up a little earlier than usual one october morning. l noticed a curl of smoke rising out of a big chestnut tree on the hill fifty rods from the house. Hurrying up there. I found that a fire had been set in the open hollow of the tree. at the ground, pre- sumably to smoke out" a squirrel which had taken refuge therein. The fire had worked its way up, as in 9 chimney and when I arrived was con- ing out of small hole about twenty feet up. The whole interior of the tree was furnace. It took me two hours to stop up the draft at the bottom pour salt into the hole at the top and finally conquer the fire. It left the great. handsome tree a mere shell, and it will hardly stand the winds of win ter. Part of the top is already off. q sorry wreck on the ground.
 The other day teamster. hauling timber from my woods, asked to bor- row couple of boxes to feed his horses. I hunted them up for him. asking him to return them when he was done using them. Next day l dis covered them thrown over a fence near where he had fed. He was then in the woods getting his last load. As he came out I met him and asked him if he wanted me to bring in the boxes II don't care whether you bring 'em in or leave 'em alone" was his answer "G'tup, there" and off he drove.

That it isn't really "human nature" IS proven, to my mind. by the fact that great many people act in exactly the same way. They think of others as well as themselves. they consider what tEey ought to do as we'll as what they are permitted to do: they use other peoples property, when thev use it. as favor and with consideration for the owners. Three people out of five al- ways do that. when they are face to face with the other fellow. and know that he sees and weighs their conduct: perhaps two O. three out of ten do il when they are out of his sight. and he doesn't know what they are doing. It is these last who display real human nature" as distinguished from and or posed to beast nature. Certainly both habits can't he in accord with human nature" and isn't it a confession and self conviction for any of us to ss- sume that the lower ie the more "hu- man. and not the higher?

There isn't one of these creatures

There isn't one of these creatures who is thoughtless.. He is thinking all the time. The trouble is he is think ing wrong. He is thinking about his own plans and his own pleasure and his own comfort and his own way. and never by any chance about the rights of others. He thinks sixteen hours day about his pleasures and not two minutes about his duties. He thinks persistently about his opportunities and not at all about his responsibilities. That's exactly what hogs do You may call it human nature all yon please: I don't believe it's anything of the sort. It's hog nature. And the hog is about the last animal whose disposition is a desirable graft on the human stock.
