A Wise Farmers Epigrams

The following choice epigrammat
ic sentiments were gathered from a
Farmers Institute address delivered
by Andrew Elliott, very successful
Scotch farmer OF Canada:
"Always have something growing
on the soil and something decaying in
the soil.''
1.-THE soil is the cemetery of ages
and the life of all that is to come.n
"Great harm has been done by the
cry OF abandoned farms. The one
thing to do is to strive to build up.
not tear down.
he man who lays a straight fur
row will be more likely to be a God
fearing man. a better citizen and a
truer neighbor than if content with
slack work.
"Clover is the foundation of all az
rlcuitural prosperity, and it must
ever be our salvation as farmers.'' {
1.-The fight for moisture is far great
er than for fertility.'
Live stock offers the only solu.
tlon of the agricultural problem.
nut it must be backed by brains and
critical oversight. -
Mans necessity is Gods opportu-
nifty"

The county officials have very sauc-
liz challenged the city dads to game
of ball, calling them almost every
thing but horse thieves. That said
challenge has not already provoked
an assault seems rather surprising,
mas much as the city fathers feel
that they had already been the target
for all kinds of abuse. Under ordi
nary conditions it may be reasonably
safe for big fellow to jump onto
little one without much danger of
getting licked. but in the present in
stance it is safe to bet even marbles
that the big fellow will get the worst
of it, for the city dads. or as they
call themselves. Getty Father Gladla
tors claim that they will so badly
wollop the "Court House Never
Sweats''that each member of the team
will feel like resignipg his Office and
taking to the tall timber. The cause
for which this blood is to be shed Is
a good one. however. and we hope
and feel that the Gladiators will not
take the matter to heart sufficiently
to delay the game, but get in and
drill and show their opponents that
they are the biggest fish in the pud-
die. The only one that we really feel
sorry for is the umpire, for be has to
take it from both sides and may get
killed,
