The Sprinetime.


You think that spring has come
Gentle Anna. Well, trust you are
right about it, but do not be too
certain. AS | write the air is bAlmy
and suggestive of grass and apple
bloom, but tomorrow it may
change
You say that you are stuck on
spring; 50 am [ There is nothing
50 sweet as the fragrance of the APP
pie blossoms, nothing more beaIti-
full than the green meadow where
the horses and cattle Craze their
full aud scatter their last years
hair on the whispering breeze.
This is the time of year when the
city man grows hungry for The
farm life, or thinks that he does,
and jOyOusIy sings to himself, Oh,
would were farmer, a farmer |
would be, and list to the singing Of
the lark and the bark Of the dog
wood tree"
Ofcourse if he were to try the real
thing he would probably change his
mind and conclude that farm life
had many drawbacks. In his igno-
rance and innocence he would prob
aOly mistake a poison ivy for a
beautiful house plant and as a result
would look like a man who had in
advertentIy mixed up with an Irish
inSurrection Or it may be that
never having seen a hornets nest
at Short range ne would be tempted
to investigate No man ever inveS-
tigates a hornets nest but once.
There are some things he may for
get, out in case of the hornets nest
there is no occasion to repeat the
refrain, Lest We forget
There are many delightful things
ABOUT country life, but the man
who says that it is all unbounded
joy is liar and the truth is not in
him the farmer needs to have
more grit and more sense than the
man in almost any other kind of
legitimate business. There are so
many things to keep him guessing
all the time that unless he is a
peach of a guesSer he is liable to
get left. The man who thinks that
he can set a lot of egg plants and
butterflies and make a success of
the poultry and dairy business will
find out that he is mistaken.
But then if he is a farmer who is
really onto his job he can be more
independent and have more salts
faction than in any other line of
business. And as he gets closer to
nature than men III other lines, he
ought therefore to be a truer and
better man. Mail and Breeze.
