Oh, yes, we-all know that the prac- tical gide of farming is extremely “practical: l.th;t keeps tmn; m:le tight in: tone an is mind :%:géfi ixéd_on thé* main chance abouf alf the time: It is quite right and prcpef that fmost farm talk shouyld be concerning this“side of farm work. But how about farm manners? s fl;m ny n;-q:;d.wbh: tlhn Mlg- ners of farmers shou ess ad- mirable than those, say, of city- sales men or bahk ¢lerks or professiondl meh? ‘5 theré any reason why farm- ers should not give a reasonable amoeunt of ‘heed to “the fair outside” which fitly clothes an equally fair inside? No, -Fm not. thinking of polished shoes and .creased trousers and silk haberdaghery, which don’t fit with | our sort of work. What I'm thinking { of is~courteous speech, and " urbane ; manners, and suavity of approach or | reception, As 3 rule, my experience leads me to believe that.farmers are at heart a kindly and a truly polite folk— using that word ‘‘polite in something more than_a superficial sense. But there are eXceptions. Thé worst of it is that thesé exceptions are so glar- , ing that they_.attract more attention than the others, and come to be con- ¢ sidered by many not as exceptions but as illustrations of a general rule, | have in mind one neighbor who is, &t heaart, as Kindly a man as walks. He would do anything up to the limit 14 ngth 2nd his means to help out anoth.r neighbor in any sudden emergency, ‘He would pinch himself to reiieve the needs of the woman next door, or go without sleep for a week to hélp ‘care for a sick man on thé other“side. - Yet he covers this real kindliness of heart with such an overcoat of Bluster and intolerance that he is one of the most unpopular men in- the vicinity. He's like a chestnut burr,—so durned prickly outside that very few try to pry him open—fer the sake of the nutty sweetness within. | used to have another neighbor,— he's dead and gone, now, peace tq his bones! —whose love of personal clean- liness was so great that, lacking a hath-tuh or other means of bathing, he ysed to take a therough scrub, at the brook practically every day of the vear. even when he had to break the ice over it to get into the water. Yet he went about his work and every- where ' else clotheq in such rags that strangers usually todk him for a tramp. He knew that he was clean in fact, and didn't care whether he looked so or not. k| “Then thirfls 38 PJQ{., Hebrldes himself on ‘What he calls “straight talk"—meaning thereby franknessand candor. As a matter of fact, his frankness {8 usually rudeness and his candor suggests the growling of a bad-tempered bulldog. : Under the laudabie pretext of re- fusing to say nice things when they aren’t true, he seizes upon every pos- sible or impossible opportunity to say harsh things. Not only about others, bt to them face to face. lfe for anybody, which is a worthy trait. But he will tell the truth, whether he has any real calleto do so He won't or not, and wf apfihl vigor and coarseness ch it happens to be unpalat 6 its hearers, - He's abont as pleasant company as that ugly bulidog previously referred t0. And most of us are just about as glad to see him coming as we would be to meet a bald-faced hormet out on_a rampage. .. A Yet Jed considers himself something of a modekwand:mot-infrequently com- pares his own plainness of speech with the “mealy-mouthed” habits of others, to their disadvantage. Most of us farmers have our own special, private and individual ideas about the way in which things should be done, not only.on our own farms but on those of our neighbors and everywhere else. Most of ‘us, also, keep these ideds to oursélves, except when we are asked for, them, and si- lently permit other folks to make fools of themselyes in, their own way, if they want te. (2 But Old. Man Waterhouse isn't of that sort. /¥ he.sees me putting ground limestone on a garden patch, he can’t keep stili about it. He comes right over to tell me that I'm a dum fool and several other kinds of idiot. If he sees anpotheér neighbor moving his barn, he an hour off to.tell that other neighbor that the new site isn't as good-as thé old ene: -that the barn doesn't stand true, anyway; and that the money spent in moving it was just thrown away. I've known him to refuse a request for help at hog butcherlnf time, Decause the hog owner was going to have the carcases ekinned, instead of gcalded and scrafled, which Waterhouse congiders: the only orthodox wa¥v o' finith up pork. _“'No_ I told the dum junkhead so, right to his-face, too,” said- he. “Criticism” it a good word: It comes from a Greek original -~ which:means] simply the act of distinguishing,: de- ciding, Yudging. ., That's - what., criti- cism is,—the act of judzing on the CASTORIA For Ifln;x and Children in Use For Over 30 Years Always bears e P Signeture of LEGAL NOTICE AT A COURT OF PROBATE HOLDEN &t Colchester, within and for the Dis- trict of Colchester, on the 17th day of August, A.

P.'BU for the creditors merit of anytbing. It implies and tates praise when a per- is good, just as much ‘as blame when it is poor. Yet there are several farmers within my acquaint- ance who set themselves up as crities of the rest of us, but who never allow a good word to creep into their:critiz cisms. They seem to regard . criti- cism as synonymous with carping and fault-finding, I've even known a grange to ap- point a “critic” before someidehate or Iiterary exercise, with the avowed in- tention and expectation that he or she was just to find faunlt with every- thipg into which a pin could be stuck. —1 put up a big protest against it once, In my own grange, with the re- sult that the twinkling-eyed master appointed me %critic® next time. And, say, I made the biggest hit of my literary career, right then and there! 1 “soft-soaped” every partic- ipant till the lather. stuck out in lumps! After which I politely but firmly declined any re-appointment to that job.— i Manners are very much like clothés. They don't make their wearers any more efficient or change their cor- poreal make-ups. But we don’t .take off all our clethes to pitch hay or get out manure. We bow to the con- ventionalities sufficiently to keep a little something on, even en such oe- casion A shiny-bladed shovel hasn’t nearly as much metal in it as a bar of pig- iron - But it is a great deal better for shovelling dirt,— and worth consid- erable more. A good-looking man always looks a little better in good clothes, and even the manliest man is more attractive if he adds good manners to sterling worth. I am not defending obsequiousness or sycophancy. Nor am I eommending fawning and flunkeyism. I will not say that one should ever lie for the mere sake of politeness. But I do say that one need not always be on the qui-vive for a chance to blurt out disagreeable truths just for the sake of seeing someone else squirm. One gets more milk from his cow it, instead of pounding her on the back with the stool when .she flicks her tail in his face, he says mildly, “So, boss,” and throws an_old. cloth over her'to keep the flies off. 5 I think even the four-footed Hin- denburg out in my hog-pen eats a little more and puts on a little more fat if I scratch his back occasionally at swill time and call him “Piegy- Wiggy.” Folks may be ‘“critters” in a good rhany other ways; they certainly are in their fondness for pleasant words and kindly treatment. You can catch more flies with molasses than with vinegar, and make more- friends by courtesy than through boorishness. One doesn't ‘hdve to be uncivil to be honest. Nor is churlishness a requisite of candor. It isn't impera- tively necessary to be unmannerly in order to be manly. The hedgehog doesn't throw: quills nor a skunk discharge stench except on very special occasions and under dire compulsion of self-defense. Too many people quote Mr. Roaseveit's famous big stick remark without re- “membering the introductory words, “Walk soffly, but carry a big stick.” and the “walk softly” is just as im- portant a part of the advice as the “big stick” end. The north. wind of winter blusters and raves and bangs us about with arrogant masterfulness. But - we farmers know that the gentle 'south breezes of the good summer time are vastly more effective in producing and maturing crops. Which pardble ‘of the winds is rot a hard one to understand and learn from, THE FARMER. OCCUM AND VERSAILLES ‘William G.

DOUBT THAT TRIUMPH IS i OPERATING ON GRAND BANKS Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 22—Reports today from Montreal that the trawler Triumph, manned by a German cre was operating en the Grand Banks Newfoundland - ws questioned many Gloucester fishermen familiar with those waters. Earlier advices showed the raider was sinking v s off the Quero Banks. which are from 300 to 350 miles from the Grand Banks. It was possible, they said, for tha trawler to cover that distance in 2% hours, although the opinfon generally was expressed here that the Maritime Fish corporations fleet probably had been destroyed - by .another ' enemy craft. The Grand Banks are near the maift lines followed by steamers to and from Europe .and Gloucester men pointed out that a German subma- rine on a voyage to or from home. would pass theére.
