Some of them attempt too much “bite off more than they can chew There are men who can handle three acres to perfeotion, who couldn't take care of a hundred to save their lives. Some are a. bit “flighty;” enthusiasts who begin the year at its spring with a tremendous overflow of meal, 4nd then run down in the summer and fall. They can™t seem to keep up the gait. Some are able to see straight ahead, but can't look sideways or around a corner. Some lack self-control; they can't stick to their job and finish it, but must all the time be jumping areund from one thing to another. For all the world, they're like children in a berry patch, never willing to stay at a good bush and pick it clean, but leav- hg it half stripped to siruggle after :ne a little farther on that looks bet- er. And so on and so on. There are mere vapieties of these “near farmers” than you could shake a stick at in a long June day. But they all come un- der the general Lead.. They may im- pose upon chance visitors or casual observers, but they're not real farm- ers. At least, they're not really good farmers. It's somethin of a trick to be a real farmer.

The trouble with it is that we can’t specialize on just one line. If vou and I could drop every single thing except the one detail of fighting cabbage worms, I suspect that in the course of time, we'd be able to keep the worms off our cabbages. But we can’t. We must also raise the cabbages. To do that, we've got to find out the sort of cabbages our soil and climate will produce most profit- ably; where to get the right seed: how to fit the ground; how to fertilize it; how to cultivate the crop: what to do for cluh-rot and what for lice, and what for blight and what for a score of other cabbage allments. We've got to know how and when to market the heads and how to get the best price— and how to collect our money when we've sold 'em. Furthermore, we've got to know as much about a good many other crops. And we must have a cow to furnish milk and cream and butter; we've got to understand cows. We must have horses to plow and cultivate our land: we'ye got to understand horses. The first-class farmer must know something about chemistry or he’ll come short in some detail of fer- tilization or of fungus-fighting; must ba something of an entomologist, or the bugs will beat him at his own game; he must be something of a ge- ologist to understand the history of the h, so as to get the something of a botanist, he do his t by the plants he wants, and also hig worst to the plants out of place which he calls “weeds?’ He also needs to be something of a car- penter, something of a builder, some- thing of a blacksmith, something of a mason, something of a forester, some- thing of an engineer (he will surely have ditches to make and a water sup- ply to maintain), something of a sani- tarian if he’s going to keep his h wholesome and his family healthy. It's just because of all this—because the farmer has to reach out in so many directions and keep his eyes all the time on so many things, that he is apt to let some loose ends go and thereby drop into the “near-farmer” cls ‘When vou have to spread a man ou over too much surface you're apt to spread him pretty thin in spots. Some- times, too, the man is pretty thin to begin with. It's a complicated prob- lem—a hard propesition. We certainly must take nature as she is and things as they are. It is often said. too, that we must take men ds we find them. In a way this last true. But there’s more to~be done with humanity than with -overruling nature. Catch ’em young enough, train 'em right, give 'em proper physical and mental nourish- ment, and I'm inclined to think it would be possible to make real farm- ers out of sprouts that would natural- ly grow up into just “near-farmers.” Perhaps not out of all, but maybe out of some. And that would be a gain. For us older, knotted and gnarled specimens of growth I often think that one practical rule would help us a good deal if we'd only follow if. That ic to stick to one job till it's done, what- ever it be. If you set out to build a new fence, why, 'just build—that— fence! Don’t tear the old one down, and then go to cutting corn or plowing for rye. When you build fence, build fence; when you cut corn, cut corn. Do one thing at a time: do it well; do it all; finish up the job, and then tackle another, the next in order. Don’t go flying from one thing to another, leav- all you undertake half done. “All very fine,” I imagine you say- ing, “but 8'pose, when I get that fence half built, Neighbor Jones' cows break into my corn? Can't I leave the fence job to drive them out?” Now that isn't fair, you know. Such questions as that will knock the stuff- ing out of any philosophy. The old darkey preacher was telling how God made the very first man out of wet clay, “and sot him up against de fénce to dr: “Hey, there,” called an au- ditor, “Ef dat wuz de berry fust man, huccum dat fence dar?” The old preacher rose in wrath: “Turn dat nigger out,” he shouted. “Ef he keeps on askin’ sech fool questions as dat, our whole theology'll b# upsot!” THE FARMER.

An exciting time took place last Monday morning about 10.30 at the green, when the residence of George Greene caught fire from the chimney. Nearly half the roof was burned and it seemed at one time that the house must go to ashes. After the church bell was rung a large crowd congre gated in a short time. It was neces- sary to cut a hole in the roof in order to save it. Nearly every thing in the house was got out before the flames were entirely under control and then just in time, as waler conmmencéi to out all around. It was first discovered by Mrs. Greene as she stood outside talking with one of her neigh- bors. Hearing a noise like thunder at a distance, she looked up just as the flames &nd smoke were sweeping through the attic window and reof.

A PAINLESS PROCESS An impression has gone forth that there is seme surgical operation connected with this method of resturing missing teeth. Some peobie have written in to know it we bore down inte the bone and put the teeth in on pegs! - Others have an idea we set the new testh into the sockets where the natural teeth were originally. It is quite natural that some unthinking people would ask such giles- tions, and in order that they may be fully anmewered we will etate thet there is no boring, no outting, no implantation about this method, moth- ing about the work that is peinful while it ie being done or afterwerd. Patients leave the office with these testh in place and at once begin chewing meat, eating candy, toast, er anything else with the same com- fort they would enjoy if every tooth in their head had grown there. It we couldn't promise this and make good on the promise, the Re- storation Method would not be a success. K would be no better than ordinary bridgework or partial plates.
