POINTS OF VIEW MAKE THE DIFFERENCES (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) 1 think it has been said,—if it hasn't, it ought to have been—that most of our disputes are about mere words, It's curlous how many different things dif- ferent people mean when they use the same terms. For instance, when I talk about “co- operation,” 1 mean a certain method otpg:.ctlon which is perfectly clear in my mind. It is so clear and so limpid, its aims and its processes are so &im- ple and so reasonable, its object is 5o manifestly mutual good, that I can't see for the life of me, why the whole farming population of the United States doesn't go for it like a hungry horse going for oats. But the other day a friend who is opposed to co-op- eration explained to me at some length why he took that stand. Whereupon I found that the thing he meant by ‘“‘co- operation wasn't at all the same thing I meant by the same word;—no more like it than a dun cow is like & buf- falo bull. Now, whether his definition of “co. operation” is the correct one or wheth- er mine is, the non-committal diction- ary didn’t make clear, when appealed to. And both of us are so settled and fixed In our occupations that neither one could bring the other ‘round to ac- cepting his own definition. Conse- quently ,we shall continue to stand at pitchfolk points against each other. The only pleasant thing about it is that both OF us to see, at last, how wholly our & was over vh:dp—not over ideals and aspira- tions. ° Therefore, we mutually decided that it wasn't worth while to get hot In the collar over s mere arrangement of the alphabet. Sometimes, we used to get a little irritated with each other, be- cause each thought the other tvas un- reasonable, mot to say cranky. Now that we know our differences are, after all, only those between Tweedelum and Tweedicdee, we are in no further danger of losing our tempers. And that’s one good thing, anyway. Perhaps youw'll think this is rather abstract and remote from everyday farm life. Before you finally decide that way and skip to another part of the paper, please set your own per- fectly good and handy brains to work lor & minute or two, and see if it hasn't any personal application. Don't take up the dispute you chance to be en- gaged in, just now. You're probably too prejudiced and partisan on that to make it possible for you to see both sides, no matter how honestly you try. But hark back a couple of years to your last sqaubble with a neighbor sver the line fences, or the incur- sions of his cattle, or your sej rights in the brook that flows from you to him. Or your one-time disa- greement over a site for the new school house ;or your famous debate over the relative merits of Single- comb Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds; —or any other earthly . thing ‘you've argued and got mad about. Think back to some of those old ‘worn-out disputes ,and see if you can't discover that the other fellow had ‘at least a'leg to stand on, after all 'See if you can't in a measure put .yourself in his place long enough to ‘get his point of view. If you can do ‘this, I'll bet a good doughnut against a cider apple, that you'll admit to your- self that the row was, after all, less ‘about real things than about the names of things. If one can only do tais sort of historical review of him- self ,once in a while ,it tends to a de- ‘velopment of the virtue of humanity. It also helps a good deal to mollify the ‘heat of the next contest. You see, when one man says “Boo” to a goose, he means, “Why on earth don't you walk instead of waddle, you silly thing?" When another man says “Roo” to that same goose, he meahs; “If you don’'t get out of my garden T'll break youw neck!”™ And when the third man says “Boo" to the same goose, he means just “Boo” and noth- ing more. there you have it. When you hear a man say “Boo” to any sort of goose ,you know what he say: But you don’t know what he means. What makes it worse, he assumes that you do know exactly what he means. If that isn't a situation calculated to break up a neighborhood and disturb the comity of contiguous townships, then I don’t know where you'll find one. The only thing that | know of which never misunderstand and dispute over 18 a sum in simple addition. You never heard two arithmeticians quar- relling about what “Two” means or whether Two and Two make Four. This, for the simple reason that “Two” always and everywhere and to every- body means exactly the same thing, and because Two and Two always and to everybody make Four. Never three nor five; nor even four and a quarter; Just plain Four. That's why mathema- ticians generally live long and die hap- py. They spend their lives among the immutable signs of universally comprehended exactitude. They haven't any chance to misunderstand each other and so don’t wear off the odges of life by constantly getting mad over words. It's astonishing how differently the same thing looks to anyone when seen from the other side. Fm not referring, now, to that famous biack and white shield of the Stony-brook. I'm think- of the rows of green peas and pole beans Hank and I pick. They run north and south, as all rows should OBSTINATE CATARRH eannot be corrected by local freatment; to arrest the flow of secretion must remove the cause; this symptom is only one of nature’s wamings of & run-down system.

Scott’s Emulsion overcames catarrh by compelling health end Scott & Bowne, Boomfeld, N, 1. in a garden, when possible, and it is our freguent custom, after picking a row as clean as we can on a south- ward trip, to turn 'round and pick that same row back, heading the other way. We get a good many extra quarts that way, in a season. You see the light falls differently; the openings between the thick leaves are different; pods which were completly hidden from the south-facing eye stick them- selves into plain sight like sore thumbs before the north-facing eye. | once met a girl in a blackberry thicket. We had been picking towards each other and finally came face to e, She wasn't a very pretty girl, 8o I didn’t stop. I'm about as plain- looking as they make ’'em,—so she didn’'t stop. We just grinned at each other and went on, she into my track and I into hers. What luck she had, after that, I don’t know, but I had practically just as good|picking from the bushes she had pushed before her, when I straightened them up the oth- er way, a8 I had had in the untouched thicket. She probably wasn't an ex- perienced berry-picker, mnor as thorough. a workwoman as might be, But then, we're none of us perfect pickers, whether in & berry patch or in life, and few cf us, expert work- men or workwomen. You know quite well that I'm not: and I've a sort of sneaking suspicion that you aren't, either. We must take people as they are, with all their imperfections on their heads, and get along with them the best we can. One plan 'which helps greatly in this process of getting along with oth- er folks is that of trying to understand them before we abuse them. If we could only put ourselves in the other fellows’ place! Of course we can none of us do that, completely. The normal- visioned man can’t ever expect to see the world as his squint-eyed neigh- bor sees it;—he isn't built that way. But we can all of us do something along that line. We may not want to adopt it, but knowing it will help us greatly in getting along with him, 8o long as he holds it. We shall know how to get at him or get around him. Without having to call ou: the troops and raise the dust of battle, either. _Furthermore, the man who can train himself to looking at every subject, no matter hew personal ,from both sides and all sides, from the stand- point of his critic or his opponent as well as from his own,—that man will occasionally find that the other fellow isn't so thick-headed nor so pig-head- ed ,after all. It takes all sorts to make a worid. Bome are short and some aren tall: Bome are kweet and some are sour: some are cheery and some are gloomy: some are greedy and some are gea- erous: some are optimists and some are pessimists. Some of us walk backward thyeugh life, steering a slow course by the landmarks left be- hind; others plunge forwards with their eyes on the future only, and :i- able to be tripped often by the un- noticed entanglements ' under their feet. But here we are, such as we are, bunched up into a narrow little worldl and compelled to get along with the other chaps somehow. | At the same time, those other chaps ! hav¢ to get along with us. | And you may bet your boiton dol- lar that you and I are just as yucer nn')posltlona to them as they are to| us! We farmers, more than other people in the world, are inclined to dogma- | tism and wilfulness. It's largely due to, the conditlons of our lives. A man' can't be supreme and irreaponsibleI boss, even of a flock of sheep, with- | out developing a tendency to bossism in other directions. He can't be re- | stricted to the study and management of one farm without coming to feel| that other farms must need about these | same kind of handling. The man who | is set down on‘a picce of land and re- | quired to make a farm from it with | his ‘own hands and out of his own! head, is very likely, after he has suc- | ceeded, to think that his way was the right and only way. Nor is it un-| natural that the farmer who has all | his life been compelled to make the ! most of every little thing should, oc- casionally, #crape migaty oclose to the | line which @ivides his rights from thise of his neighbor. All of which should serve merely to | make us more vigilant in looking out ' for these temptations ,and more vig- orous in combating them. No man can ever see both sides of a stump till he has gone all around it. If it is just a pine stump, perhaps the knowledge wouldn’t be worth the exercise. But if the stump is a neigh- | bor of an idea or a method of farm- ing cr a public | ~—then it's al-| ways worth while to study its aspects from all points of view. Greasing the wheels not only saves the boxes, it makes the going easier. THE FARMER. _Tolland County STERLING HILL Town Goes Republican—Storrs and Beebe Nominated for Representatives.
