What Farmers Should Know


Barrett OF the Farmers union to off,
GERS and members Of that organize
ton, the gentleman says:
Farming Ia q serious business, re-
quiring training and experience like
any other vocation and 10 not the
c.lIing for the faddist.
IF the constitution and the creed
Of the Farmers union, rs we'll IS
your own leaders, have, seemed to lay
undue stress upon the value Of agri-
cultural education and Of special
training, 1t Is for the simple reason
that they are back OF success on the
farm.
II do not unqualifiedly approve Of
the average agricultural college In
this country, for the reason that 1t
teaches too much from the text book
and not enough from the furrow. But
gradually we are improving the grade
of the agricultural college, and /
hope, with your cooperation, eventu-
ally to arouse the American people
to the Importance Of the undertak-
ing.
II do not disparage or ridicule the
ecstatic assertions of the beauties Of
farm life, or the economic and flnan-
cial Independence Ut life OH the farm.
such as Ia shot at us every day In til
magazines and newspapers.
"But I insist that, in the main, such
rhapsodies are written by revolving
chair theorists. who ted to have .
few ideas blasted out Of theii
heads and few others blasted In be-
fore their preachments can be Of real
value.
ITO be good farmer requires as
much brains, a. much application. IS
much gray matter, - 1t does to make
. good salesman, . good doctor or ,
good lawyer.
Every man IL not born to be . gOod
salesman, . good doctor or . good
lawyer. That fast IL generally rec
ognised and acted upon.
"But 1 know Of mighty few men
who are not positive that they would
make good farmers and who think
that all that II necessary IL to stick n
hoe In the ground. pray for rain, and
then harvest the crop.
If you will snalyxe the great drift
from the farm to the city with view
to checking It in your locality, you
will And that . great percentage Of 1t
is composed Of the farm failures.
'.These young men and middle-aged
men had the common d.lusion. They
thought that farming was easy. They
found 1t wasn't easy. And they went
to the city to either deteriorate into
itl-rs or 70 work several times ~
hard than II they had cultivated their
brains instead Of their dissatisfac tion
and remained on the farm.
ITO the man who really wants tu
farm in America. and who will Civ.
1t the concentration. the faith, the
s-lt-sacriflc- and the energy he would
give to preaching or to running 4
trolley ear ora dry goods business
thu. baud will return fair dividend
aud give him such freedom as to
..nnhl- him To smile at panics and II
the whim~ ~ an -xActing or unscru-
pulous employer.
II ask, therefore, that all members
Of the farmers union apply the yard
stick u, themselves.

halted the paraders and demanded an
explanation. The count said be was
on his way home and had bought the
sofa and that It was his property.
Tho oncer probably thought the ques-
ton Of propriety too important for
him to decide and escorted the pris-
oners. including the sofa. into the
presence of the precinct captain. The
count told his story and presented Ills
receipt for the sofas purchase. The
captain verified these statements by
telephoning to the restaurant propri-
etor and advised his unwilling guests
to 60 home.
In less than an hour the captain was
astonished to have the sofa and its
retinue of attendants brought before
him by another oiicer. The party was
released a second time. The incident
was repeated three times. and the cap
tain was becoming a 1t subject for
the madhouse when he had brilliant
idea. Four officers were ordered to
march with the count. the sofa and the
party to escort them home
Slowly the procession moved toward
the shore. When landing place was
reached the count and his friends
made jump for the bridge. where n
motor launch was In waiting. Amid
the cheers of the crowd the launch
sped away. leaving the officers to
carry the sofa YEARLY back to the po-
lice station.

SECULAR LEAGUE MEETING.
President Kirk Speaks on "The
Age of Discovery"


The opening meeting of the Washing
ton Secular League for the season of
1901 was held at Pythian Temple yes
terday afternoon.
The principal feature was an address
by President Hyland c. Kirk, on The
age of discovery" Notwithstanding the
great discoveries Of the past. which the
speaker said had caused each Of the last
five centuries to be regarded in It's time
as an age of discovery. he was of the
opinion that the great age of discovery
lies in the future, since the greater prob
lens which engage mans attention re-
main as yet unsolved
The idea was advanced that the immor-
tally of the individual or at least the
indefinite prOlonging of the human per-
sonality might be one of the great dis
coveries or attachments of the future
along the lines Of scientific investigation
and natural law.
