. (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) In a recent issue of a “fapm paper,” published a2 the intorests of farmersyand for their help, I found a rather vigorous. edi- rial® “Summer. Journeys.” It be- never better situated than now to en- joy the benefit of travel” It ‘went on to state thatthaying was now over and there was “a month or six weeks before fall work comes on apace” Therefore, it advised its farmer readers to get acquainied with their own country. 1t intimated that-if enyfarmer sold one fat steer the price would “nego- tiate the round trip from Chicago to the Pacific coast,” but strongly advised that he sell “not ome fat steer, but two or three-or four and take his whole family with him.” Westward—ho!” it cried. “Let us knock off work for August and g° afield!™ When | had read thus far, T lay down the paper and besan to-think; began to Hgure how that fine-sound- ing advice would apply in.my case. In the first place, haying?is not over in my meadows, nor in any other meadows in this vicinity. The con- stant rains of the past six weeks:have hindered us all so that we are not, where we usually ‘are.July 15, point of hay-harves! know of several hundred acres of low-lying meadow which are still water-logged. It would be impossible to drive a mowing machine across them or even an empty hay-rigging. We shall all have to wait some little-time before we can attack them. And we cer- tainly must be on hand to take prompt advantage of the very first day when they do become approachable. It would never do for us to be in California_when we could be saving that bay: if we were on our job. In the next place, neither I nor any of my neighbor farmers are apt to have “a month or six weeks™ of loaf- ing time, any season between hay and harvest. We none of us are able to cet all the help we need. We havo to take such inadequate supply as we con find; always less than we want cnd generally of a sort much less de- pendable than we would like. I don't know of a farmer who would feel safe in leaving his stock and his crops and his whole farm interests in the unwatched care of his hireq help for six weeks, nor for a month, nor for a fortnight. But that isn't all of it son of this shortage of always a little beh a long ways bek If there com to us a week when, normally, we might expect leisure, we have to uso it all in catching up with our work. By rea- Evon after these things have been considored, we haven't vet arrived at the real status and condition of the farmer’s summer. It's an old saying and worthy of wide acceptation that we are to “make hay while the sun doesn’t mean just cutting grass and drying it. The phrase is a fig- ure of speech conveying by apt innu- endo the truth that farmers, being wholly dependent for their success upon weather and other climatic con- ditions, must work when the condi- tions are right—and must always be ready and prepared to seize each gold. ity as it comes our wa each one of us must be ‘Johnny-on-the-spot,” with plans all laid and tools all ready to jump in Wity both feet on the job, whatever it is. which natural conditions give us opportunity to do, We must be ready to make our hay, whenever it gets fit to make and the sun_ shines to make it; we must be ready to cultivate when the soil tells us it needs cultivation; we must spray bugs when they arrive on our crops: Wwe must dig our early potatoes as soon as they are big enough and while the market still permits us a living price for them; and we have no man- ner of control over the sunshine or the bugs or the markets. We car’'t order them to come in July and the bugs and ¢ths'Dblights appear whenever their particular boss Beel- zebub orders them to the front. Nome of these things wait upon our convenience. They have no interest in vacations or ‘junketings. Almost any- thing is likely to pen to us al- most any:time, from thunder out of a clear sky to a couple of good hay- days'in the midst of a rainy week. One.of the differences.between a farmer and a poorTone is that it of all seasons offer him, while the poor farmer loses some of them. Of course there are other-differences. But this is one, and not one of the least, either. It-goes without saying that the farm- er who never knows when he goes to bed what sort of weather he’ll wake up to in the morning can't possibly take:advantage of the.kind of weather that actually comes if he’s three thousand miles away from both farm and weather when they meet. The warm months are the farmer’s working time. In winter he is pre- cluded from working at his trade and must necessarily “lay off” more or less of the time. But summer time the bees make honey—if they can find it— and. the farmer makes money—if he's ever going to. It's his hive-filling sea- son; _his one chance of the year; his busytime. To .advise him to throw away “a month or six weeks” of these pre- cious summer work days seems to this particular John Farmer about the wildést king of waste. What was it they. used to say in your grandfather’s era? Something to the effect that wilful waste makes woeful want, wasn't it? And what was it that the Wise Kin; said? “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise: which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest.” Please don’t understand me as hold- ing that the farmer should never take a breath or have a rest. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” Whether on the farm or elsewhere. But “to_everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven * * * a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; ® ¢ * a3 time to mourn and a time to danc: a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together; * + * atime to keep and a time to cast away.” The farmer’s time to plant and work and to gather is the Summer time, when alone the natural conditions which he cannot control but under which he must serve permit him to labor profitably. The very season vhen our friends from the city take their annual vacation is our busiest work time. The very conditions which make the country a beautiful play- ground for them in summer are mak- ing it our workshop and compelling our noses to the grindstone. We must work while it is day since the night cometh wherein no man can work; we must make hay while the sun shines since we cannot make it in the rain; we must do our work when Nature makes it possible for us to do it, else the work will not be done, and we shall deserve the condemnation which is due to unfaithful workmen. Really we farmers of New England have but a perilously short growing season, at the best. From a hundred to a hundred and fifty days out of the year' three hundred and sixty-five re about all we can depend on for ‘growing weather.” ' I have known seasons which gave me but just nine- ty days between the last killing frost of a passing and the first killing frost of a coming winter. To ask us, even to suggest the possibility of our giv ing up a whole month out of our al- ready pitifully short summer s to transpose common sense and stand it on its head.

THE FARMER. of the Leadership There is No Moses to Guide the " Party-to the-Promised Land—The Outlook For the Re- 4 With- the -time for the:city election drawing’ near the democrats of New London mre beginning to realize that they are without a.party Moses to lead them out of the political wilder- ness and that they are on the verge of being lost beyond recovery in the October electionuniess the unexpected bappens, unless someone rises to the local democracy leadership who has not yet shied his castor into the po- litical ring. No democrat now active in the party is equal to the emer- gency. It really does seem ag if dem- ocratic hope was lost. Bryan F. Mahan by securing for himself the position of postmaster of his natlve city has lifted himself out of the political king- ship of the city and there is no one in the game at the present time that is competent to fill his cast-off polit- ical shoes. Mr. Mahan is barred by law from indulging in active politics and he being a truly law-abiding cit- izen will not violate the law even by playing a little quiet game of politics. So his party, the party that has stood by and for him for many years, is without his leadership and is being buffeted about on the stormy sea of politics, politically rudderiess and without a trained navigator. It will probably strike the rock of despair and dbecome a complete wreck in the early October. Democrats of the dyed-in-the-wool type, who would vote for the chap with the traditional short horns and waxed moustache, were he candidate on the party ticket, are taxing their gray matter in endeavor to think up some candidate for mayor, with all the requisites that make up the pres- ent day available candidate, but with- out avall. These democrats freely aver that there are many men in the party who are intellectually qualified to fill the office of mayor. Some have not the time, nor the Inclination, while there may be others who have the in- clination and have the time, but have not got the coin that would be re- quired to battle for the nomination, and the election expenses. It is ap- parent, however, that some democrat must come to the political guillotine for the sake of the party, and per- haps, be elected instead, for the un- expected has happened in politics and may happen again, but the chances are mighty slim in New London in the coming city election. Acting Mayor Miner has publicly declared that he will not be in the running on the ground that he has served the party long and well, and is entitled to a rest from political turmoil. Beveral weeks ago the name of Thomas R. Murray, referred to at the time as “Square Deal Tom Murra was mentioned as a candidate for mayor on the democratic ticket. Well, men have been named as candidates for mayor in the years that have gone, that were not as well fitted for the position as is this same “Square Deal Tom.” He is at present a member of the board of assessors and was elected by a phenomenally large ma- jority when the city was republican by at least five hundred. It is under- stood that Mr. Murray is like Barkis in the matter of the mayoralty nom- ination, provided he be nominated as the candidate of the people as repre- sented in the democratic party, that is the poor men’s candidate, as Mr. Murray lays no claim to being pos- sessor of a great amount of the wealth of the realm. While no one in the city belleves that a democrat will be elected the next mayor of New Lon- don, there are some who believe that with Murray as a poor-man candidate, the successful candidate would be con- vinced before election day ended that 1t is thought at this time that the demo- cratic nomination for mayor will go abegging, and if Mr, Murray and his followers make a bid for the nomina- tion it will be struck off to them on the first bid. It might as well be Mur- ray as any other democrat. If there to be any contest on the republican side for the mayoralty, it ‘will be at the caucus and not the polls, for no matter who is nominated it is a hundred to one shot that his elec- tion is a sure resuit. Henry R. Bond, an alderman from the second ward, an officer of the prosperous New Lon- den Ship and Engine company, and who is now on his wedding trip in the west, announced before entering wedlock that he was a candidate for the nomination and would put up a pretty stiff fight for it, if necessary. If upon his return home, his ambition to be mayor has not changed. it can be put down in advance that Mr. Bond will be the republican nominee. Al- though practically new in the political game, he is a young man of affairs and without much preliminary study could deal out a sure wi{lning hand. ‘His method might not be'the method of the old seasomed politician, but would be of the sure-winning kind. There came report from the west that Mr. Bond would not be a candidate, but this was knocked askew when Mr, Bond, writing to a friend, warned him to look well to the east and to guard the political interests of his friend Bond. So it can be put down just now that Henry R. Bond will be the republican candidate for .mayor and that he will be elected. That is if he is a real candidate and puts up that stifr fight for the nomination. Captain Ernest Rogers, president of the New London County Historical society, a successful business man, who has for years been active in ad- vancing the best interests of the city, and who has served as an alderman of the city for a term or two, and a close student of municipal affairs, is a receptive candidate for the nomina- tion, but should Mr. Bond insist Mr. Rogers would perhaps readily desist, as is not in the political fighting class. Mr. Rogers was associated with the Armstrongs for years in the silk man- ufacturing business, before entering in the grain trade, and was closely asso- ciated with Mayor Benjamin L. Arm- strong, who gave to New London that business administration that becomes more appreciated as time goes on, and the people pause and ponder. With Mr. Rogers as mayor it would be an- other business administration from an expert business man’s standpoint, and the city affairs would be conducted by Mr. Rogers just as faithfully and as accurately as he conducts his own extensive business. There Is an abundance of mayoralty timber in the republican field, and at least a dozen men that could be named here who would be glad to be mayor of the clty provided the nomination were brought to them as the unani- mous choice of the party, but who would not enter into any scramble for the nomination, and every one of them would fill the bill to the credit of the city and themselves. But Popular Harry Bond has the call and the rest will probably throw down their hands on the political table and let Harry take the rake-off. Mr. Bond has the position and the wealth and a desire to serve his native city and ought to be a typical mayor, and compare Pell with some of the mayors within his memory—Brandegee, Tinker, Wil- liams, Colt, Waller, and perhaps Mahan, LETTERS FROM TWO STATES Tolland County * HEBRON Lawn Party a Success—The Week Happenings in Brief.
