No one is so independent as the farmer. he dosen't have to truckle; if he is insulted he can resent the insult without fear of losing trade, and there is no earthly reason with the improv- ed farm machinery he now has in use why he should not have su h leisure for reading and study as would soon make him one of the best informed men in any calling.

JHE BIG TALK OF MUSIC.

There is more Big Talk about music than about anything else, 1t is said that after we have spoken rnd written all that is possible and chiseled our finest forms, and painted our most beautiful pictures, there remains a feeling that is not satisfied and music is the offort to satisfy that feeling.
 Music, as defined by the au- teorities, is the art which em- plops sound as a medium of artistic expression for what is not in the province of literature, of sculpture, of painting. of act ing or of architecture. It has been said. again, that music is the embodiment of the inward feeling of which all other arts can but exhibit the effect. In other words, music is an at- tempt at the expression of the highest aspirations and the deep est fears of the human soul.
The Nevada County picayune., 1910-12-13

Did you ever notice that talk" doesn't hurt a man much. Per lection isn't looked for in man, and when some one tres to in- jure a man by ranting about a few faults he has. the absent one, who is probably attending to his own affairs, is elevated in the he estimation, while the in- fomant is lowered accordingly.
 If a man knocks along doing fairly well, poodle realize that while he has some faults, he has more virtures, and they are charitable enough to overlook these faults.

From every viewpoint the farming class of this country is in better shape now than at any period since the civil war. More people own their homes and little farms, more are free from the yoke of bondage inflicted by burdensome debts, more becoming independent each year by making a more comfortable living for their families, more are waxing up to the necessity Of giving their children better educational advantages and withal, pros perity and content seem to pre- vail throughout the country. Let progress still be our watch word.

WHAT IS MUSIC?"
 BY B. }. ERWIN

you, dItt NIit tl9t tax SeaI Jct- tience, wtil again ask for space in your worthy paper to say few works tor the uenefit of those that have requested me to write on music.
 Is stated, some haverequest- e me to write upon the subject O music. Friends, had you ever thought af how great is ae subject of music? When one 4 stop to thini and ask their self ;he question, What is masic?" and remembering that ai saeh men as ed Br. Palmer,
 Dr. Root, Wagner. Mozart, anu ev4n dowa to eur present gene ration of musical Masters such as Showalter, Excell, Will L. Thomas, and many others 1
 might mention, have utterly
 failed to solve the whole meaning of Music, 1 feel very incompe- tent 10 even write upon such great subject.
 will say, friends, in the be- ginning. that beyond single doubt Music is a divine gift from God. We possess a talent for
 ausac Git being given us from the Fathef) and are blessed with rha privilage Of cultivating this talent by Way of acquiring q knowledge of the theory of music. It should be the motive of every music teacher, in teach- inp music, to fir teach from what source t c meth and the great importance of learning to sing aright-with the spirit and understanding; secondly, to sing impressively. 1 believe that the Gospel is in singing, and all peo- pie are agreed on that. The Scriptures tell Us that The Cos pei is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that be- lieveth. " Music is the Gospel and possesses the power that can move the hardest heart and cause it to open up into the good will of every one. lends hope to those that are Respondent and gives fresh courage to Il in the battle of life.
 Music is attractive not only to man but even to the beasts and to every thing that has the breath of life. You can attracl the attention of the most vicious beast, even in the very heat oi passion.
 Without music our churches would not be a success, and neither would any religious wor- ship be, but with 1t rendered alright we may do great good in this life. And more precious than all, we are taught in Gods word that there will be singing in Heaven. How much we should appreciate it and try more every day to learn some thing more of it, and prepare ourselves for the great singing in the eternal home where we will sing the praise of God forever.
 To say the least of it.music has been the greatest comfort to me than anything else. When all seems against me, and every thing seems dark and dreary, 1 can lift my voice in praise and get comfort when nothing else will. To my very sad regret, after having had a severe spell of sickness. was forced to re- frain from the work that 1 love better than any work l have ever done or ever expect to do Since this is the case can only bid those who are in the grand work, God speed. and lend a help in a way to those desiring information on this subject as best 1 can. But 1 hope to have recovered some day to the extent that I can apain take LID the
