THE FARMER

John A. Sleicher, in Leslie's.)
1t is the day of the farmer. Back
to the soil!" is the cry of the tired
business man. 1t is in everyone's
blood. The trolley line and the auto
mobile are partly responsible for it.
Suburban farms are all the rage. The
city man can reach his farmhouse now
in an hour or two, though it be fifty
miles or more away from his office
for the railroads have entered keenly
into competition with the trolley and
the automobile by making special time
tables and low Communication rates to
cultivate the suburbanite.
The cry is Back to the farm and to
the simple life!'' 1t is a catching fever
The drift of the farmer boy to the
great city is partly offset by the long
ing of the brain-fagged city man fer
a breath of the fresh air and a sight
of the green fields and the wooded
hills. A silent revolution has been
wrought in farm values around all Of
our great cities by the demand for
suburban homes. Farms that wera
worth moderate sum per acre are
now laid out as residential plots
worth as much for a single lot of a
few hundred square feet as the acre
was worth. Farms farther away from
the cities are now valued as villa sites
and still farther away they are coyet
ed as the homes of the gentleman
farmer.
He is the farmer who loves to gaze
upon cows that he never milks, upor
the pigs that he never kills, the chick.
ems that he never feeds and the sheer
that he never clips. But he sees to i
that the hired help tends to these mat
ters and his pride is in the well-kep
farm, the well-bred cattle and thu
well-fed pigs and fowls. The horses
he may drive or ride, for the love o
good horsefesh is inseparable from
the love of the farm.
