4 Gentleman Farmer.

The fact that John L. Sullivan in
tends on his return from the honey
moon, to become q farmer is quite in
line with the time-worn traditions of
arIstocracy. Who in spirit was more
of gentleman in the old sense OF
the word that the Roman poet Horace;
and who has sung better than he the
delights of country life for the re-
farmer of England has been heralded
always in the literature of the coun-
try. We seem to see. indeed. in John
L. kind of American Squire Western,
drinking. hard-swearing gentleman
who figures so delightfully."- in Field
ing's TON Jones'" and whom. indeed,
English literature has never tired of
portraying. Sir Toby Belch, in Shake
speare's Twelfth Night" is one of
the earliest incarations of the Eng
lish country gentleman.
If, indeed, Sir Toby Belch was
'.person of breeding" why shouldn't
our John L. take his sober place
among American gentry? He has
been a towering figure in our national
He is fit material for the Imagination
Of a Rabelais to work on. He has
said few things in the last twenty
years which for raw-bOned form and
deep, primitive eloquence are worthy
of record. And now his essential taste
and greatness are shown by his strong
and simple instinct for the land. The
woods with their tangy. unadulterated
beauty, hold him by the majesty of his
soul
After a certain amount of experience
in the "'busy hives of men" the coun-
try life appeals to us all. The taste
and simple sense so wonderful in John
L. is feebly reflected in the rest of us.
But feebleness has certain sad draw
backs, quite apart from the general
undesirability Of weakness. For in
stance, one of our richest young men,
who is trying for distinction. recently
refused to permit an enterprising
saloonkeeper to construct a beautiful
inn near the gentleman's cauntry
residence. But what is the country
without rustic. bucolic inn? Did
you ever hear of a truly aristocratic
atmosphere without an inn? Ten to
one that John LIS farm will not be
entirely divorced from the flowing
bowl. His noble soul would scorn be-
ing gentleman farmer if he couldn't
be so without a lot Of picayune safe
guards. Hail to our retired John! He

soul.-New York Press.

Telling Eggs.

The problem of telling eggs is not
an easy one by any means. Very few
of US know how to do it properly. On
the other hand, there are those who
think they should not be told at all;
but that is old-fashioned nonsense,
inspired entirely by false modesty.
1t is safe to say that eggs should
be told at as early an age possible
consistent with their temperament If
allowed to go too long, there is grave
danger that the egg vii become bad,
and when the egg becomes bad it is
hopeless The world is full of bad
eggs which might have been saved if
they had been told in time.
It is just as much a fatal mistake
to keep them in suspense by cold
storage methods.
