(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) ‘We old hayseeds actually know a Jot pt things about our farms, there’s no “denying it. JIndeed, wherefore should anyone seek to deny it? Why, land alive, how can a man live forty or fifty years on the same stone heap without ~coming te know something about the pebbles under him? He 't help it, unless he was born blind. ::r can he help airing his knowledge, now and then, unless he was born dumbd. I'm not a bit inclined to min- imize the extent or the value of this knowledge of detail. It comes to us @3 tan comes to our cheeks in the March winds and the May sums; as strength increases in our muscles from swinging the axe or, straining at the dung-fork. Once, when | was even greener than mow, I remember watching an_old farmer plowing ina characteristic New England field. There were some rocks in sight and several trees and a couple of old stumps, and it was something of a sight to observe how the old chap and his steady old team negotiated these obstacles. There wasn't any yell- ing; nor any yanking of the reins; nor any very noticeable effort the plow- hamdles.” When the wise old horses came to just the right point as to a stump, they swerved the least little bit, the plowman gave a scarcely perceptible twist of the hand, “Stiddy, thar, Baldy,” the share slid out into the old furrow, scraped around the ex- posed root, and was hack again in the fresh sward a second later, going on Just as smoothly as if there wasn’t a stick in the whole pasture. I could see all this and admire it as a bit of skiiful workmanship. But, every turn bout the lessening sward, when he came to a certain place which, to me, looked just like any other place, the oM man would give a sort of side- ways squint at something on the edgze of the field and then his hands would shift on the plow handles and I could see that the point was slowly rising and the turf-slice thinning till, in- stead of plowing a furrow six inches deep, he was turning barely three faches. At last my curfosity got the Better of me, and, as he stopped to let the horses breathe, I asked him: “Un- cle Ike, why don’t you plow as deep over there as the rest of the patch?” “Huh!” he grunted, “a’'nt no use try- ing to; there's a quarry of cobble- stones 'bout three inches down, over there, ‘nd you might as well try to plow & macadam road.” ‘“But how do ou kmow just when you're comin’ to It 1 persisted; “looks like all the rest to me.” uh!” he grunted #I-. “guess you'd know where ’'twas yow'd plowed over it 'nd broke ’s mamy sheers in it as I hev.” And on they went once more. ! 3 | remember once going fishing to Cerberus shoal in a New London sloop with & New London skipper. The wind was contrary and we tacked and 3ibed and filled and stood on and stood off and did all sorts of nautical stunts. when we were getting through the Rip, which was a real Rip and not a mere ripple that tum- bling morning. Then we struck a bet- ter wind and sailed smoothly on. It ‘was all water to me—water in front of us, water behind us, water all around us, with a distant loom of hills on the “away coast, too faint for me to wecognize. Then, all at once, the skip- per remarked: “Well, here we be,” and proceeded to drop anchor into what I should have supposed to be about three hundred fathoms of wa- ter, 1 tried to see the “ranges” he ,ly pointed out to me, but, ‘bless you, I couldn’t tell one blue filmy paiat from another and shouldn’t have known what to do with them, if I had been able to. But the skipper knew when he came to that shoal, just as Unele Tke knew when he approached his under-surface heap of cobble- stones. Now the knowledge of just where ppens t0 be a submarine hill or a subterrene rockheap is not, in it- melf, especially important to the world et Jarge. But it's mighty useful to the man who holds the plow handles or the tiller. It's knowledge which comes to the skipper of the sloop and the skip- per of the plow by long habitude and refterated experience. It's exceedingly bendy for both—and for many others who are dependent upon the right ex- ercise of that knowledge. | am now an old farmer—as years go —and I know a godd many littie things about my flelds and their differing ail- ments and curious whims which only experience can teach. I don't know them all, nor do I know all about any of them. Nor am I really cocksure of those I think I know. Perhaps this very season may show me that some of the thimgs I thought I knew weren't after all. Perhaps it may bring a clinehing proof of something which 1 am now doubtful of. Well, it's the truth I want most and need most, no matter whether it agrees with my pre- conceived notions of truth or not. As 1 said, I am now to be classed as an old farmer.

CRABBED AGE AND YOUTH NEED NOT BE ‘AT 0DDS =¥ Journal.* " perhaps abeurd superstitions about farming. He may quite likely seem to you a veritable “old fogy.” Well, dear boy, if the Lord is good to you and you live long enough, you're going to be an “old fogy” to the iads of forty years hence, yourself. And when that time comes, the brash and over-certaln youth of that era will seem just about as queer a lot to you as the “old fogy” does now. Just put yourself in his place, thi 11911—as you will have to if you ever come to 1950. | believe it was Shakespeare who averred that “crabbed age and youth cannot dwell together.” Perhaps not. It's just as pat a saying, however, that the world wants “old men for counsel and young men for war.” The uni- verse isn’t ready yet to Oslerize all of us who have passed forty. Wise men will continue to hum—even if under their breath—Thackeray’s little ballad on “The Age of Reason:” “Forty times over let Michaelmas pass, Grizzling hair the brain doth clear.” The plain, prosaic truth is that “crabbed age and youth” do and must live together, and that youth can get quite as much advantage from age as age can get help from youth. Both can render service to the world; each can aid the other. I am not unmindful of the friction that comes from their too often clashing ideas. What of it? When the old clock is wound up you have the big weight tugging at the wheels trying to make them go faster, and you have the escapement lever digging its toes alternately into one side or the other of the toothed wheel to stop it from going too fast. If the weight cord breaks the old clock stops; if the es- capement lever breaks it runs wild. When they both work together it keeps time and is of some use. A farm—any old farm—is a much more complicated affair than a clock. it has been made by a much more competent and a much wiser Mechani- cian than any to be found in the shops of Waterbury or Apsonia. It has taken Hlm some untold millions of years to get it into its present shape. We aren’t any of us golng to find out all about it in a year, nor in a lifetime. No, not though that lifetime were ten times as long as Methusaleh’s. While it is true that all over the world men have been studying farms and working farms and writing down the results of their study and their experience, it is likewise true that the wisdom thus set down in books is generally derived from other farms than the ones you and I know about. While the general principles in- volved are usually applicable over wide areas and diverse conditions, it i equally true that the practical use of cial experience on those separate and differing farms. We all admit that it wouldn’t do to follow New Jersey tice in raising New Hampshire crops. Soil, seasons, climate, markets are all unlike. Differences show themselves i much narrower limits. Why, in my asparagus bed of less than half ar acre I have two varying soils, calling for two varying fertilizers. Now, I'll leave it to you, I don't care how young and headstrong you may be. if you should be called on to come here and raise asparagus on that bed, wouldn’t it be worth your while to hunt up the old man and find out the fact that you can raise just as big and good asparagus on the cast side of the bed by cutting out one-half the hizh priced nitrogen in your fertilizer? O r youw'll find it out for yourself in t after you've wasted needless nitrate of sod: it be better “business” to find and act upon it before you've wasted those dollars If the youn strength ‘and his am’ 1 less energy the knowles on and his ri the teehnical skill which come with vears alone—if he could add these without also becoming infected with anything like *old fogyism.” he’d bhe almost ideally equirped for the work of the farm yea But he can't.

New Haven Journal-Courier.| OFFENSIVE POST CARDS To Be Opposed by Irish Societies in Connecticut. The following was published in the Bridgeport Farmer Monday night. It was read at a meeting of the Gaelic Language society last evening, and is a communication from the Rev. Mi- chael O’Flannagan, the envoy from the Gaelic league of Ireland, whose mas- nifitent addresses in Boston, New York and- Washington are influencing Irish opinion in America into suppert of the remarkable language revival now pro- ceeding in Ireland. P, J. Dolan, who presided, said Bridgeport was taking the lead in the Gaelic revival, as the society had received letters from prominent Irish- men in Hartford, New Britain and Stamford, who wished to start Gaelic classes. In answer {o another re- quest that had come from the A. O: H. in Stratford, he proposed that J. J. McCarthy and P. O’Huaithue go out and deliver addresses in the Gaelic revival, in Hartford Hibernian hall. The women also like to thank the Hibernian division in Stratford for the general invitation to their re- cent bamquet, which some of those present availed of. P. O’Hualithue drew attention to a communication he had addressed to the press du!'h;:- the past week requesting Dr. 1 Wordin to withdraw a misieading statement about the young Irish im- migrants, and he proposed that a central committee of all the Irish. so- cieties be formed to take up such questions. The postal card caricatures, he said, would again be displayed in March, if the Irish societies did not take decis- ive action beforehand and request the loeal star managers not to display the insulting and revolting pictures which the English manufacturers send over here as Irish types. J. J. McCarthy said the Irish were the only race slandered and libelled by the English postal card publishers and it was time the nuisance was stopped. He. 'said he had already brought the question before the sev- eral divisions of the A. O. H. and the central committee Wwould soon be informed. New Industry for Farmington.
