(Written swtflfy :6 “The Bulletin.) Some of yo Lave at verious tmes referred to the maltitudinous knowledge and the mul- tiform ability which’a modern farmer needs to_attain striking :success. Perhaps some of you may have “thought that ‘I have' written a bit frivolously concetning it. .1 assure you “that'was the farthest possible from my Perhaps - some- may have felt that I was inclined: ag- gerato’ the- situazfor. As to-that of course there is always room for dif- farence of opinion. But- it long" has been and- still is my: honest bellef that the ‘modern farmer, if he is to. make the utmost possiblc of his opportuni- tes' and do ‘the best possible work with his farm, must have a broader sweep ‘of knowledge and ‘possess a tder range of technical skill _and e ability in more numerous and diverse directions than any _‘other workman in any other comparable oc- cupation. That is, under the present system/.of overstrained individualism. The blacksmith.must knaw iron and ateel and the management, of. a forge and the effective- use of his black- smith's ' tools. The carpenter. must know wood- working and' the effective use of his carpenter’s_tools. 5 The mason ~must Jmow enmethin= about stone and brick: amd cement and mortar and the< wisest ‘ways-to com- bine them for strength and endur- ance. ‘The salesman. must know’ his -line of ‘goods and enough’ about nature to be able to convince desirable buyers of their business value. The drugsist must know drugs, and the hardware dealer must know metal wares; and the banker must know discounts and values; and the dry goods merchant must know textiles ahd prices; and the shoe dealer must know leather; and the woolen or cot- manufacturer must know fibres and.dyes sind weaving machinery;:and &n engineer must know steam and boilers and valves and bearings, etc.; ahd a surveyor must know the. theodo- 1ite and - so on through the: whole list of hdm.n activities. ' But the farmer needs to be pretty nearly all these gentlemen at once and all the time! He .must, first, kSow: his 'dirt! - what it is composed of. ‘what it needs in the way of fer- tilization. and -cultivation; What ‘crops it 'will produce, not most exuberantly, but, most profitably; 'then he must his-tools; and-how to handle and gecasionally repair them; also he must Imow: his-buildings, botp | how 'to".con-} ‘struct . them and how keep, .them 18 condition; moraaver e e be versed ip veterinary ‘lore .if he owns stock and expects: it to keep well or et well when takeén sick; he must be u entomologist to know which bugs and slugs and’ grubs-are his- fierds -;d which his enemies;. he must bé ghemist, to_know. how .to_poison the Mur most. effectively and how to mix g&&bl-\“““y stuff; he must, know, rehand,” what "crops are going to asll, well ‘and how o Bet.

Usually one man_or- one .firm cannot handle- both prodyction. and distribution and suc- t both.” “Special agencies are necessary which can devete all their energies to distribution.” In other words, the farmer who is going to raise the very ‘best possible crops on his place a hundred or two miles from the city, can’t also: at-the same time be the best possible sales- iman of those crops in the city. Or. still more tersely put, he can't be potato-grower.in Windham county and potnto-&e!ler in New York .city, and be ‘a howling success-at both things, at the same time and all by his lonesome. Which, after-all, is little more than saying ‘that a baseball bat’ can’t be s.n egg-beater, and be equnlly perfect for both uses. One of the very queerest: things in the whole big lexicon of hum: folly is that so many farmers can’t or won't see- this almost kindergarden-ish axiom. They. continue to .insist upon | trying to do everything-and to besev- each one alone by himself. -They seem, many. .of. them, to think that they can produce top-notch goods one week and then sell 'em at top- notch prices the next week: that they cav ‘fight the elements to a frazzle| during 'the spring ‘and summer, and then beat the markets at the market's own’'game durinz harvest: that.they can Handle their dirt with expert skill and also handle with €qual expertness the consumer who-wants the potatoes | and cabbages ther have made the dirt produce: ete, etc. Now there’s.a limit to almost every- body’s edpaci The farmer is nh;’;t the only-man ensaged in useful labor who doesn't admit"it in acts as well as words. It's very seldom that vou'll find a first-class blacksmith who will | undertake to build you an extension| dinine ‘table in‘ competition ,with his' néighbor,” the - experienced cabinet maker. 'It's equally rare to find an experienced cabinet maker willing' to take the job of shoeing your. horse in competition with the trained farrier. But the average fdrmer undertakes to be about a_hundred different trades- men. all at tlie same time, in addition to his two big jobs of raising good] crops against adverse conditions and getting good prices for them in hostile | markets Perhaps. it may be tnat he recognl:es the difficulty. -but can't see how '‘to avoid it Tn some cases I know he does, and ! that he goes at his crazy-quilt pattern of annual Jabor, witir the.feeling that he is forced to spread himself out Over territotv- which he:-knows.he canit properly cover.. He,’in ‘such " cases, admits that. he is trying to do the un dozble - and - be the impossible; but assumes that he must. that ' there is no way out, that it's dle, dog,.or. eat the “hatchet. In truth, considering the un-bunch- able character of the farming commu- nity, thére is much reason why those of us who.deplore the situation-and| wish it might be reformed, should hes- itate to even hope that it will be An our time.’ ‘Why ‘is it that farmers can't or won't combine for mutual help and on | advantago: that their inability or un ‘willingness to do so is so well-known 28 to have passed izio a proverb? There’'s a topic for grange discus- sion;" especially among New' England granges. For there' are farmers in many parte of the country who bine and'do cooperate, and do gaih fold advantages from sut‘h co; st two years? If:it takes you 15.years to'use up 100 tires yourself, -in%all those years only one mngeatwfll cause Thasearefacts based on the law of averages <supon which ons-are inveSted in theleemsuranoebuamesg.

Yo “can't ‘beat “99% satisfaction” business; 1 lulx forwdrd to a time wlun the | eighborhood farmers: of any given n will as soon think .of being their own tailors and shoemakers as of trying to ‘be_their own salesmen. But_that time is, I fear, a lon off. Perhape it won'tcome til' the | present tendeéncy “towards increasing complexity has gone even farther than at present; till u has reachedq such-a degree that even the owner of a New England hill farm on a backroad - will find himself compelled to- admit that he can’t be “like Cerberus, three gen- tlemen at once.” When it cormes, 1.foresee communi- ties ‘of real nelghborliness, where in the blacksmith will'do the blacksmit! work, and the carpenter the carpen er's work, and the recognized butter expert will make the butter, and' the man whose abilities tend towards cab- baces will ralse cabbages, and the man who is successful with cows will keep a dairy, and those who can raise clov~ er and timothy and red-top in im- mense crops will raise them, and those who have been proven -exceptionally good salesmen wil sell at fancy pdices the fancy butter and hay and general crops which the expert producers raise, WHAT NEW LONDON CAN PAY Salary of Health Officer Must As Dr. J. Torrington Black has mot | yet been reappointed health officer, nor jany other man for that matter, al though the doctor is acting heaith of- | ficer perding appointment, it would seem just a little bit premature for the | public_announcement madé by Alder- fan Charles C. Perkins, chairman of | the .finance committee, that he would | not approve the_ treasurer's voucher for the salary of $3,000 for the health | officer, as there is none for him to sign | at the present time. He may be calied upen to affix his signature to -the| voucher in the near future, and. that he’ will not do, for he himself hath said | it, an@'it’s greatly to his credit, for he {is an aldérman, a, la Pinafore. Alder- {man Perkins claims that the increase {of the sdlary was not legal and was also an imposition upon the tax pay ers who in city meeting fixed the sum that could be paid in salaries,” and| that he will_not be a party to the transaction of this matter, and if at that city meeting the raising of the sglary was favored and provision made for the payment, then, and not till then would ‘he approve of. the treasurers voucker for.tlie jpcreased salary. Aldcrm n Perkins made strong pro. test - nst the - action taken. by the counail i, this. matter, and. says it is. not in keeping with . the allesed. policy of the new administratign which prom- ised retrenchment ang not extrava- gance, and ‘that ther w? e an end to the mania of spending Other peo- ple’'s money ‘without getting. proper re- turn. ~ Alderman’ Perkins 'said that at the same meeting this big increase in salary was voted, that he, 'as chair- man of the K finance committee, was obliged to -ask for ‘duthofity’ to borrow money enough for the proper conduct of the city for the next seven months, or uxtil the taxes collected were avail- able. He said the city had reached the established debt limit, and = that therefore the court of common council ought to be more cautious in the ex- penditure of money of the people that are supposed to be represented. Alder- man Perkins sald that the mayor wilt be requested to call a special meeting to ratify or reject the action of the council in making the salary of the health officer- $3,000 an increase of $2,000 at a single bound, Now that Alderman. Perkins has aiven advance notice,'of his inte Yich includes the Nholding of a specml vy meeting, it would be well for Dr. ack and-His friends to get busy and 2 to it that the attendance at that zeting ;will be favorable to the doc- r's' interests. This: proposed raise in Llary has occasioned more public dis- sion in regard to the much dis- sed health -officer, than at the time hen his bill was vetoed by Mayor ner, or .when he threatened .suit ainst: the city to recover, or when he igned and then puf up a successful usgle to withdraw. Despite this al- st continuous- controversy over the aith .officer, the fact that Dr. Black a competent official nobody can ny, and some believe him to be the ¥ 'pebble on the beach, so_to speak. ‘r.
