THE MAN THE. FARM FITS, FITS THE FARM

delight in it for it's own sake. Really, it matters little whether such a man is born in back-road farmhouse among New England hills or in a city tenement If he was born to be farmer, he will find 1t out sooner or later When such man finally does learn his own bent, and his fate IS kind enough to let him follow 1t, ne is fairly sure to become that most fortunate being-a successful farmer.
 Heaven defend us from farmers who are farmers merely because their fath- CTS were and thy happened to be borns on farms! Y And may heaven also protect usl | from discouraged city people who know nothing about farming or farms and have no aptitude for them, but | simply want to get out of the city | frying gpan into almost any sort of i fire,
 l sorts struggling vainly with farm problems.
 The man who does his work simply because he has to; who is driven to 1t because he must do something;" who has no higher motive than the fear of | hunger, of cold, of want; such a man may raise some corn and some potatoes and a "hawg' or two, and cut | enough firewood for the winter But
 he isn't a farmer; he's just a drudge
 and slave. He's a drudge because
 he does work that he doesn't like; he's
 a slave because he does the work un-
 der the lash of fear.
 And the worst of it is that he is
 squandering the assets of the soil and
 wasting the opportunities of his own
 life because he's out of place--be-
 cause he's in the wrong place. The only farmer who usually amounts
 to much is the farmer who farms be-

cause he wants to; because he'd rather
 farm than go fishtn'. Enthusiasm
 counts for a good deal, even in digging
 dirt and pulling beans. There are men
 who take to the blow and the hoe
 handles as a duck takes 10 water,
 They would be unhappy indeed with
 either carpenters hammer or cob
 bler's awl. They live with their farms
 not merely on them; they are fonder
 of their COWS or their hens than they
 ever could be of daschunds or pet
 Pomeranians; they grow vexed at tho
 sunset because it shortens their op-
 portunities for accomplishment; they
 find joy in tasks which to others might
 seem menial.
 The man with that general sort oi
 spirit usually is a successful farmer
 with @ responsive and productive farm.
 But the man who approaches every far mduty with reluctance, as a hard ship he must go through with in self
 protection or self defense-that man | usually has mighty poor back pastures, even If he has shingles on the old barn.
 It's a hopeful sign of the times that men are now, more than ever, turning to the farm from choice. From the
 work of such men we may reasonably look for progress and improvement | The man who is interested in his work always sees more chances for improv- | ing his methods and bettering his re- suits than the man who is interested | only in getting through with it as soon as possible. The one whose fu- ture is bound up in the plans and pur- | poses he has made and the hopes he ] has fathered is much more likely to | find his future than the one who only | drifts with the current or is blown
 along by shifting winds.
 | We don't hear much, nowadays, of | the old idea that the fool of the fam | ily' was good enough to stay home on ! the farm. There's a different senti- ment in the world; different smell in | the air. It is being recognized at last, that farming is, in every respect, as | honorable an occupation as any in tho world. and that it takes, at its best, a rather fuller mental and physical | equipment than some others. It is also becoming more generally recog- nized that, for the average man, its re-
 wards are fully as promising as those
 of most other occupations. Of course, there are other callings in which ex- ceptional men may make more money, But when an exceptional farmer lilza David Rankin can make over $3,000,- 900 at straight farming we needn't dis4 count too harshly the mere money
 making possibilities of the farm.
 However, money is, only one reward we may win in this world; and not by any
 meaps the most important at that. What the country wants is not more cobblers and carpenters bungling away at farm work, when they ought to ba
 at that which nature intended them for; but more farmers farming it be- cause they are born farmers and like
 the job.

advancing. IL IS not even the SoIL of thing which makes life worth liv- ing.
 To say that every boy born in a cobbIer's shop must, therefore, be the right kind of boy to make cobbler of, is to say what common sense de- nies. To say that every boy born on farm must, therefore, be intended for a farmer, is to say what many of us have found false.
 While it Is true that heredity and propinquity do much in shaping young lives, it is just as true that these in fluences are not supreme. There are ether clements that enter into the matter and that ought to be accepted as controlling elements, too.
 Take our trade-that of farming. There are lots of men in New Eng land today whose farms arc going to ruin and who themselves are going to the dogs because, having been born on the farms, they were forced by par ental fOolishness or personal unWisdon into taking up an occupation they were temperamentally united for. They might have made good cobblers or carpenters or congressman; as farmers they are no better than botch- ing failures They are not making their farms what they should be; they are not making of themselves that which they might make and ought to make.
 Likewise there are men in cobblers' shops and carpenters shops and in | congress who would be worth good Leal more to themselves and the world if they were on farms.
 They might do very fair jobs at rais- ing corn or cabbages, while they are sloppy failures as cobblers and car 1 penters and congressman. 1t by no means follows that every boy who gets the itch for town is meant for town. Statistics make lt perfectly clear that more than nine | out of ten who leave the farm for the city fail there even more sadly than is possible in the country. It's pretty hard to tell what a boy is cut out for. His own whims and prejudices are mighty poor guides, and he is apt to be a good deal of a puzzle to older heads How to find out what he really is meant for? Give him his head and the chances are even that he will break his own neck; hold him in and check him too tightly, and you may break his spirit. And the question whether a live jackass is better than dead lion is not all one-sided, aft- l CT all!
