IF IT ISN'T ONE THING—IT'S ANOTHER (W¥itten Specially for The Bulletin.) f it isn't one thing, it's another.’ ‘That phrase is a sort of farmer’s shib- boleth, If you don't hear it said, soon- or or luter, by the man on the farm, you may set it down as probable that he's not a real farmer, but just a sort of stop-gar. I suppose in the Garden of Eden it was nevep elther one thing or ancther, but jusk the same zlorious state of all- rightaess ail the time. But there's been @ noticeable change in gardens and ‘sich since then. Last spring, for instance, along about this time, we in this particular of the woods were being drench- | n o and drowned out by persistent cold Tains. They put back spring work, iclayed all =orts of crops, even rot- ted seed in the ground. The intervals of sunlight and warmth were so inter- mittent and infrequent that the soil didn’t get really dried into fitness for plant nourishment for several weeks. This spring, on the contrary, we in this same neighborhood are in fmmi- nent danger of dryine up and beins blewn away, We haven't had rain encugh for six weeks to wash the dust thoroughly off the sadly wilted leaves of the discouraged spinach and lettuce. With the drought we're being overrun by some new breed of bugs or fungus something which, like the pestilence of the Bible, stalketh by night and fin- up then about all the growth h has managed to start the previ ous day.

Martford, Conn, Jun25s when, the potato bugs | slory, but he was perfectly willing all lms wife's relations shoyld. | We farmers have to own troubles all dar and every to say nothing about sitting up nights | | with them, sometimes. We don't see | so uch of the aeighbors' difficulties, | because we live rather dely apart. We dom’t sec any of the troubies of people in town—or at least, not enough to speak of. So we get, from the! very nature of things_ an idea that the | woes which are all the time pouncing on us are peculiarly vicious and par- | ticularly bent on our destruction. I | ®et that sort of feeling on my farm; vou get it on vours; Naighhor Foskins gets it on his; and about seven mil- iions of us get it on seven million other farms or ranches or gardens, If you and I, for instance, could | trade places for a vear, the possibili- | | ties arve that I should find your big | i | farm was just alive with all sorts of | treubles that I had ignorantly posed you were fre= from; and sup- ou | my little place hadn't yvet been an- | nexed to Paradise. Then, if we could other vocations, we should be just cure to find that they had their bothers and their worries and their struggles and their losses, which we, in our rural innocence, had supposed | them quite enfranchised from. Why, the cities are chuck full of people who are all the time taliine “back to the land,” because they find existence so full of prickers in town that they want | to exchangc for the easier and less bothersome life which they imagine we farmers lead. No; when oid Marm Troublemaker broth, she isn't picking vou and I. nor | farmers as a class to be double-dos She's splashing her bad-iasting stew around with a.fine impartiality. T mar who doesn’t get more than he| wants of it hasn't been uncovered yet, but the distribution will average up irly even, in the long run and on all sorts. Considering, therefore, that we are born to trouble and that we can neither dodge it nor outrun it, I'm in- clined least one ca comfort in our vocation. Our enamies are so many and attack us from so many sides and they are so infernally fertile in new tactics that they fill ou lives with a_very complicated variety of fighting. They “keep us guessing’ to use a slang phrase—about all tas time. certain grim Variety’s the very spice of life That gives it =11 its flavo! It would get mighty monotonous fighting the same enemy all the time. Perhaps :t can’t be considered plaasure, but there is surely a sort of relief in changing hands and weapons. It's po- tato bugs one day and striped beetles the next; it's crows on the corn in tha early morning and woodchucks in the beans at twilight: “if it isn’t one thing, it'’s another,” which is just where the saving flavor of variety comes in. it isn't the same ons condemned thing every time and all the time. There are men who work in shops and factories, each one of whom goes every morning to the same machine and makes all day long exactly the same product His machine has its | “kinks” and its contrarinesses, but they are about the same, day after day. His material has its faults, but they are about the same, day after dav. it's the same work anl the same bother right aiong all tie time. The man does this today and the same thing tom row. Fe has this particular bothe tuday and Jvst the sam= one tomorrow. He knows just where his machine is stubborn and must be forced:; just where it is wilful an1 must be humor- ed. He gets in time to be about as automatic a machine as the thing of | wheels and belts on wrich he works. | _ Honestly, now, I'm glad my work | isn't like that, and that my troubles | aren’t so deadly monotonous. Since T've got to have them, it sort of keeps up the interest to have them come from the sou-souwest occasionally, and not always from th> east. Moreover, one never knows which one will ¢ me | next, nor from what quarter, it keeps one ‘on the rt. Also, there's the chance any morning that an entirel one will appaar.
