The Man Behind the Plowy


They sing about the glores of
the man behind the gun.
And the books are full of stories of
the wonders he has done:
There's something sort of thrilling in
the flag that's waving high,
And it makes you want to holler when
the boys go marching by;
But when She shoutin's over, and the
fightin's done somehow.
We find we're still dependin' on the
man behind the plow.
In the pomp and splendor of an army
on parade,
And through all the awful darkness
that the smoke of battle made,
In the halls where jewels glitter and
where shoutin' men debate,
In the places where rulers deal out
honors to the great.
There's not n single person who'd be
sss doing business now,
or have medals if i; wasn't for the
man behind the plow.
e4HEr re building mighty cities and
10y we're gaininNlofty rights.
&e're winning lots of glory, and we
sf. are setting things to rights,
We're showing all creation how the
-sN worlds affnrs should run:
Stature men will gaze in wonder at
the things we have done,
i And we overlook the fellcr, lust the
same as we do now,
Wins the whole concerns fonnda-

the plump fruit is heard in the barrels.
The apple crop has become one of
the larger resources of American
farms, and the holds of many European
steamships are full of the fragrant
fruit on its way to feed the old world.
The old-fashioned orchard was a
dreary swamp of untrimmed trees,
where, on years when the canker
worm was taking a vacation, the farm
er might get barrel or two of fruit
from each tree. No one ever thought
of enriching the soil or of cultivating
around the trees, any more than you
would attempt to fertiize a tract of
scrub pines. If insect pests got at the
trees, you no more thought of getting
out to fight them than to drive them
out of tract of woodland.
Under modern scientific spraying and
cultivation the apple has become the
most important single crop on thousands
of farms. AS the price of good fruit is
higher than it was years ago, the de-
mand does not yet seem to be supplied.
Steep hillsides on which cattle could
scarcely stand upright are turned from
waste land into lavish production, and
the farmer hands over an inheritance
to his children that is just like a bank
account. Tribune Farmer.

1t never does any one harm to meet
his fellows in whatever vocation he
may be engaged in for purposes of ex-
changing ideas, says the Tribune
Farmer. There is an ancient maxim
that says "The day is lost in which we
have not learned something new. !"
This, no boubt, originated when the
only means of interchange of ideas and
thought was by means of meeting and
talking with ones neighbors. In this
age, however, with our numerous news
papers and weekly and monthly maya
zines loaded with good things, our tele-
graph and telephone service and fast
trains, one would have to be hermit
indeed who did not momentarily have
opportunity to hear and learn something
new.
The world has taken to specializing
in every walk of life, and the individual
is required to keep in close touch with
his calling or something new will be
developed on lines of economy, and he
will very quickly lose out if not posted
to the minute. The National Dairy
Show at Chicago, October "a to No
vember this year, will be filled With

to talk with and learn something new
from. You ought to arrange to be
