THE WORLD’S WORK IS NOT THE WORLD’S PLAY (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) It's curlous how differently different people look at the same matter. We expect to have people differ about pelitics and religion, and the wise man ¥ho wants a peaceful life usually tries to get into as few squabbles as ible along those lines. in the simplest farming matters people have as many varying ideas as there are points to the comh pass. Down in Jersey, for instance, there's a money-making hen man who em- ploys a great deal of help about his place. He draws on the city all he can for his labor. He says that he prefers to take green city boys who never saw a live hen, and “break them . He finds that they are more teachable, less inclined to “fly off the handle,” and grow sooner into poultry experts than sturdy country lads, who are apt to think they know as much about hens as he dbes, and are impatient of his “whims”—not to say bumptiousness. That’s one man s |dea a good many of us blister-handed farmers as highly novel, if not a little queer. 1 should like to_know more about that hen-man's methods of work and management. There have been, in past history, occasional hen-men who have made more money selling fancy prospects to innocent million- eires than they ever made from selling eggs. 1 can well understand how a man in that line of business would be It will strike hat vhc\ were do everything they were told with gull- ble eredulity. And yet, it won't do to elass this particular chap as a faker— because we don't know I'm rather inclined to take sides with Commissioner Packer, of the Wis consin Immigration bureau. Mr. Packer at a recent meeting of the national Conference of Immigration, Land and Labor officlals said this “It is not the man unaccustomed to hard manual labor that the land de- partments of the various States should interest in the work of developing the country and {ts crops. The man who has come generations of farm in this country or other count the best to encourage in this He will get results where the other will fail.” And then he added this wise remark about the city chaps who are crazy to get out into the country that ten days of doinz chores before break- fast on the ordinary farm would cure the average “back-to-the-land” fever. Which strikes me as about the most sensible th I've seen in print about the aforesaid back-to-the-land move- ment for many days. There's a whole lot of exceedingly silly stuff being printed in the papers and magazines—especially in the mag- azines—about the beauties of country living. The truth is that life in the country as much life in the city depends on the one who does the liv- ing more than on his surroundings. 1t 18 possible to be bly com- fortable in a th inch coat—if that's your slze—but there are men who need a forty-four inch spread to oxpand in. Try to put the forty-four ch man iInto -six inch coat and he'd find life a demnition squeeze, The thirty-six inch man in the forty- four inch eoat would be all the time miserable throu knowing what to do with the slac as S0 .There are two great classes In this world—at least. We'll call it two for present purposes of discussion. One class is ma up of people too lazy to make a lving anywhere: the other class is of people energetic enough to make a living anywhere. Now of that first class, the only ones who could possi find any comfort in the country are those rich enough to live there real w w y and poor at the same time won't find life any easier on the back roads of the country than on the back streets of the city Of the second s—those who have vim and vigor enough to succeed any- where—the country holds an invita- tion only to tho who are country- minded—" farm-minded,” as Dean Balley puts it. The man who was born with a country soul doesn’'t worry the least little bit about the various dis tages of country life. He admi —and then chucks them behind him as he does the chips from the log he cuts He's much more interested in the advantages of country life—which are to him more numerous and more attractive. It all depends born to and which he just the old simile of the holes over akain. square peg to fit quare round peg for the round upon which he takes to. Its the pegs and It needs a hole, and hole. Tt was a waste of pegs and holes to try mix- ing them up. The trouble is that too many of those who are honmestly and with the best of intentions urging congested city populations to hike out into the country fail to make clear th life has any really greatd They paint the farm as a sort bucolic park where you do about what you please, when you please and as you please.

He wouldn't have needed bringing nor any urging nor any painting of country life in unduly rosy colors. You couldn’t have kept him out of it any more than you could have kept him from growing older every year. On the other hand, if the man wasn't meant for the country, then the s ducing him out here on the theory that he going back to some rt of Eden is nothing less than a sociologi- cal blunder and an economic crime. The country is full enough of tender- feet, as it is. We don’t need any more. We don’t want any more. We can't handle any mor Good Lord, protect us from any more! There's just as much room for good brain-work on the farm as in the fac- tor; fice. It will probably count for as much and profit as mu t— before and beneath it all—stands the primal necessity for a lot of hard man- arming, of a sort, can be v men without any brains at 1 There are some of that kind in the business right in my town!

We talk a great deal about our “labor-sav- ing” machinery. Nine-tenths of it is simply labor-speeding machinery.

The East Lyme road has been and is paying a heav toll to carry passengers between this junction and State street, as the car are operated that distance on the Con- necticut company tracks, and are not permitted to enter only when per- mission is granted by telephone by the | starter in State street, the cars of the Connecticut company always having the right of way. It is ynderstoo that the Bast Lyme company is satisfied to have connec- tion with the trac maade at Jeffer- son avenue and for the cars to operate on the tracks of that company to the jtracks of the Connecticut company, jand without charge for use of the |stretch of trackage from Jefferson avenue to Montauk avenue, free of charge, provided like privilege is granted the East Lyme cars to State street. There the matter stands. Under the laws the Connectlcut com- the other eompany provided satisfac- tory agreement as to the charge is made with the East Lyme company. If this agreement cannot be reached amicably the utilities commission will be called upon to fix the rate. In the meantime the cars of the Connecticut company are run over the extension to the terminal and back again to the main line, but transfer is given pas- sengers at the corner of Jefferson avenue and Bank street to the Main line of the company in Bank street. The Elm, the lar ?ut in the Pequot colony, the_home of the late Col. Au- gustus C. Tyler, was none too large for the social functions that were held | there before the death of the colonel. Since then Mrs. Tyler has not mingled {much in society and has to a marked degree gone into retirement, but still continues in her grea: work of charity {and making the life of the poor and the humble worth the living. A year or more ago, Mrs. Tyler was con- sidering the conversion of her mansion into an inn for the accommodation of selected guests, but this project has been abandoned. She has now de- clded to have the structure converted into a double house, she to occupy ene half and rent the other as a summer or all the year round home, as it is altogether too large for her uses. The Elm was for years the centre of the soclal set, as Colonel and Mrs, Tyler were not only the leaders of soclety but the most hospitable of enter- tainers and on the grandest seale im- aginable.
