In Days of old and New.

The farmer boy, in homemade jeans
That bagged about the knees,
In DAYS of old, with little means,
Went courting--" green as cheese;
His hair was long, his collar soft,
His hands rough from the plowi
His clothes bore hayseeds from theloit--
1t is not that way now.
Today the farmer boy goes forth
In "glad rags, neatly pressed,
And Elbows inp coin for all he's worth
He's swell, as may be guessed.
His hair is trimmed in style now, and
An infants tender brow
Might be aoothed BY his soft gloged hand
He bears no fayseeds now.
The farmer boy Of days gone by
Toiled fourteen hours day,
Then shelled seed corn ut night las !
Have passed the time away;
He rose at dawn to feed the stock,
Throw hay down fIom the NOV,
And milk eight cows by six o'clock
tits quite different now.
Today the farmer boy crawls out
AT half-past six o'clock,
And asks the hired man about
The crops, and herds, and flock
OF fancy fowls. These represent
A fortune. Once the pillow
Paid off the mortgage, and the remit
