Norwich, Gena nevitd Fursell & Sandorson, Props. ,AK_MNothnmth- tion.and a Science—Non (Written Speclally for The Bulletin.) - We. farmers weren't all run in the same mold, like old-fashioned tallow- candies. good many kinds of us—about as many as there are in- dividuals. Feople who live in town and drive automobiles over the sum- mer roads often seem to think that we're all lb.ut alike, and they pick out the most “ornery” specimens they happen 0 run across as “types.” They discov- § poste hatchet-faced, lantern-jawe haired, uncombed, bent-backed ol lellav with knotty hands and those not over clean, with huge muddy boots and dirty overalls tucked in their tops, with a sour temper and a painful lack | of grammatical language to express it | —they pick out some such freak and | henceforth, consciously, or uncon- sciously refer all farmers to a class | represented by him. Noww.-thibin's . tise. denging; St there are some mighty disagreeable men on farms. Also in factorles and in shops and in stores and in banks and in law offices and In raiiroads. Thero are likewise some very good men on railroads and in law offices and in banks and stores and shops. So there are on farms. As overy tub stands on its own bottom, so every man stands or falls on his own character—not on that of somebody else who happens to follow the same calling. There are a few external differences, due to the de- mands of occupation. The banker whose work is on the white pages of the bank's big books must have and Invariably does have clean hands. have heard of bankers, however, where the cleanness did not soak in to any depth—men of faultless fingers and delicately manicured nails, and hearts that were never washed with pity nor cleansed from selfish greed. Moreover, 1 have known farmers with hands stained by the soil and finger nafls so broken by their work that there little left’ to manicure, but clean in- side—as clean as “a hound’s tooth.” It 18 never just to judge men b outsides; nor is it any more wise than it 1g just 8o common, however, is the custom of hb!"m% men according to their ap- pearance that I suppose there’s no use talking against it. Our friends will keep cn doing it. and also keep on wondering, when they meet some farm- er who taiks good English and wears whole clothes. how he -ever took up farming, or why he ever came back to a farm. Now, the humble farmer-man who writes this has had some little ex- perience In other occupations than farming and he has been permitted to observa somewhat closely numerous others of which he has not had per- #onal experience. And it is his con- viction, based on forty vears' experi- ence and observation, that there avocation on the face of the earth which calls for 8o much all round ca- pacity and so much practical cleverness as farming. Of course, I'm _talking about successful and worthy farming. No doubt there are numerous numb- #kulls living on farms, just as there are several sapheads in other voca- tions. They never “arrive” in either case. They always remain at the foot of the class, at the bottom of the lad- der; in the catch basin of incompe- tents. A great many occupations consist in doing the same thing over and over, till the doing becemes a habit and in- Siisart Drasiioe: pradiess. sayscotoss But the farmer who lives 365 davs per annum on a farm has several times 365 conundrums flung in his face each year, every one of which he must solve or | take a whipping for his stupidity. | Some of them are pretty deep ques- | ingly quite Tve once say about the before said a littie farmer’s need for acquaintance with at least the rudiments of several sciences, it he expects to get the most possible | out of his fields. But the other day in a farm paper I saw a letter from an | indignant correspondent, who had been stirred up by hearing it said of a cer- | tain neighbor: “That young man is too Farmar No Ordinary Individual—Farming an Avoca- Must be Known to Succeed—A Millionaire Farmer— Farming Requires More Varied Ability and Economies and System than Any Cther Kind of Business. { bin or mow?

Can he so manage the woodlot that it shall furnish his needs and yet in- crease in value? Does he know enough of law to keep out of trouble Wlm hls nelghhors’ If that young man knows _these things, said the indignant correspond. he’'s “smart” enough to start Taiing” The. pther fhings Ha myast know how to do will come by practice. But he can begin when he is thus far grounded in the rudiments. Now, mind you, that list isn't of my making. 1f I were going to get one up that would be fairly complete it would include a good many tricks not enum- erated above., The farmer must know something of metal-working, in order to make the quick repairs which are essential to economy when some bolt or clevis of nut gives way. He must he at least a dabster with the paint- pot and brush, know what kind of paint to use. and when and how to. use it. ¥He must be something of a car- penter, enough at last to put up a shed or patch a leaky roof. If his farm is of any size he must understand complete- ly a dozen kinds of machines, or the bill for repairs will eat up his profits. Tn fact, there's almost no limit to the list of things he must know and must be able to do. if he is to get all that get-able in the way ef comfort and prefit off his farm. No, indeed, is’s time that we farmers aparociated our calling more highly— and time that we made others do the same. Instesd of the farm being the dsmp on which may be left the ma- . human and = otherwise, which isn't good for anything anywhere else, it is really the theater whose stage de- mands the brightest minds and the soundest bodies. The question should not be whether a lad Js “too smart” to be made a farmer of, but whether he is bright enough te be capable of suc- cecding at that insistent and strenuous cecupation. Tt is said that David Rankin of Missour! is the richest farm- er in the United States. He owns sev- eral counties of land. raises from 15,000 to 26,000 acres of corn every year, feeds cattic and hogs, gives away a hundred thousand or #0 to some needy institu- tion every now and then, and could draw his check for mere than one mil- lion, any tim After telling some inte: ntly, how he muleged blo Nuge, farm, b decieced that system was the secret of his suc- ; that “tho farmer, of all business fixed methods and cut ay.” “T contend,” “that farming re- quires closer figuring and more atten- Tuis man Rankin is the only farmer r heard of who nrade himself a millionaire by farming, pure and simple, Hec must be an_exceedingly capable person to have done it—so capable that his sagacity atfains the height of gen- ius. \Which makes his judgment about the relative amount of ability neces- sary for success in farming and other businesses all the more valuable. Still, there are a good many successful farm- ers in the country—remembering, if you please, that “success” and million- smart for the farm: he ought to go into business.” Whereupon the said | correspondent sat down and wrote al few things about the kinds of * neas' which farm life called for, ma-‘, ly on the practical side. i is he?

And the man who farms it without the desire and intention to be successful is in the wrong boat. We don't need to get bumptious or highfalutin’ about our business. but it's high time that we took it for what it really is, measured not with some other fellow's crooked yard-stick. The man that is “too | smart” for farming hasn't yvet been | discovered. The single, simple, sorry | fact about the most of us is that we aren’t “smart’ enough. That's one rea- son why so many attempts at farm- ers are fhilures. They might have got along better at the law or running a railroad or some other simpler and less exacting business! THE FARMER.

Some misapprehension evidently ex- ists in respect to the new marriage law in Rhode Island. A careful read- ing of the law reveals the fact that it does not take effect till after Dec. 31, inetead of on Deec. 1, as has been erroneously stated. Also the provision that the marriage license must be ob- tained five days or more prior to the date of marriage applies only to tended brides whose residence is out- tide of Rhode Island, but not to either party residing in that state nor to non- resident grooms.
