W s eredited to a pub- Yiea tion el tamp. A an in: troduction, The Lamp says:~—‘“This is not much of a story, ks stories go, but it has at least the merit of being true” On the contrary, it strikes me as very much of a story; very well related and with & simply bee-yu-ti-ful moral irhich doesn't meed to be told, since it tells it self. ¥ou read it. vlease and see if you don’t agree. Here it l8:— “Ten years pgo a New England farmer took two brothers from an orphan asy- lum. They were' under-nourished, un- similing, listless. When they had learned the difference between an axe and an axle the farmer took them one day to a field that was part of the farm’s labili- tles. Nothing had ever been produced there but the trees whose blackened stumps remained, and the boulders that showed their stubborn heads above the weeds and underbrush. ““Prom time to time,’ said the farmer, ‘I want you to bring the oxen up hers with logging chains and do ‘some clear- ing. When you are older, Il show you how to use dynamite and fertilizer! = | “The other day the two boys, now stal- wart men, again clumbed the hill with the farmer. The field that had worn eut oxén, crowbars and stone sieds showed an even expanse of waving grain. Stone walls surrounding it testified to hercu- lean labors. “‘Ten years’ work for the two of us,’ {said one of the men, ‘and all we've got is a three-acre field.’ “‘Ave you sure that is all? asked the farmer. “The older brother looked at the sturdy shoulders of the young man beside him. He saw as for rst time the powerful muscles waiting T their coal, of tan to respond to & call, then glanced down at his own splendid figure. = - “#‘No, I guess I've got to” admit that we ralsed a couple of men out of that field, too, he said.” =—That's the story. 1t is one which no lovdr of the eountry and the open farm-lanes fail to ap- Dreciate and understand. Would God it might be read and told and bemused upon in city slums and city tenements and city homes. For it tells in a strik- ing way just what are the chief prod- ucts of the farms. The products most needed. The products most essential to civilization and ' civilization's perma- nence. The products, too, which are un- fortunately growing rarer. I mean men, You have Iseked upom-the chief farm products as being comprised in some such list as hay, corn, potatoes, oats, wheat, cabbages, onions, apples and the like? Now havew't you? That's where you've been wrong. ~These are means to an end; expedients for whiech, with the com- ing of fuller knowledge, we may some- time be able to substitute simpler and Detter supplies, - { But there's one product which is not an expedient, and which nothing ean ever be substituted™for. And that is men. ‘When you were a boy in district school I'm sure you had to “speak a piece” now and then. If you didn't yourself reel oft Sir William Jones' famous ode, you certainly heard some other lad do it. Perhaps you can recall some of its sonor- ous lines, even yet. Such ?S—-— “What constitutes a state? Not high raised battlement or labored mound, Thick wall or moated gate; Not cities proud with spires and turrets crowned;; = No;~-men, high-minded men Men who their duties know, But know their rights and, knowing, dare maintain, Thise constitute a state.” New, I should be the yery last man on earth to say that real men can only be raiged on the farms of the natien. That would be drawing the lines much E i . .. with Raisins Use more raisins with your foods and get more cnergy. .Rxhilui il'll.llll' 1560 calories energizing nutriment per ¢ . ‘Rid: l’n food-iron IIE:.

And ¥et, every one of his numerous. hiograph- ors lays stress on the handicaps which be, later, overcame. The point is that they were real handicaps and hindrances Wwhich not even city gymnasiums and callege athletics were able to neutralize, and whieh “finally drove him to a fanch- man’s life in the wildest west in his seareh for their mastery. I reckon among my desrest and most admired friends men city-born and city-bred. My type- writer shall break its back and dislocate all its geventy-two type-bars before it shall be allowed to pound out 2 line or a word in derogation of these glorious fel- lows. But the fact remains that country life i a peculiarly congenial environment for the production and nurture of men. Its yery hardships tend towards sturdiness, The oak which meets and defeats the storm-blast is a much more worth-while timber than the bittersweet vine which clings around it and couldn't hold up its head without support. It is the blows of the forging hammer which toughen the iron they smite and maltreat. The very dificulty of wringing an existence from the hostile forces of an inimical Nature enforces a discipline and imper- atively requires an initiative such as comes only from battle,—seldom from the amenities of a sheltered life. Furthermore, the constant eombat with infrequently understood but al ‘Ways tremendously active natural op- ponents breeds in their antagonist not only toughness of fibre but stubbornness of soul, which refuses to surrender and is mever willing to admit that it is beaten. This may not be an altogether agreeable character- istio in the drawingz-room, but it is a valuable asset in the arena of struggle. Countfy-bred men are sometimes charged with being uncouth. As eom-| pared with the carefully groomed product of the city's sartorial parlors they are indeed apt to be that. So is shaggy old Katahdin uncouth beside the trimly laid g‘pm’y of tha Woolworth building. But tahdin will still be there lording it over the Maine pines when the Woalworth tower shall have toppled to ruin and dust. Urbanity is admittedly one of the graces of life and-a valuable lubricant in social affairs. But it is strength and power and stubborn refusal to accept defeat which the world must tie up to in a stdrm. There is no better training-school in these qualities than.life on the open farm. Only the other day I read with much interest . a vigorous complaint from a promipent western business man that the rural distriets were not keeping up their supply of city material. “Why,” he said in effect, “hitherto we've always relied upon fresh blood from the country to keep the cities from going stale. It fsn't cor any longer as it used to. “Neme- thing will ‘have to be done about it.” — This suggests a new angle from which to commend it to city readers. If they can view the farm situation. I especially only be made to comprehend that their own continued existence depends on the back-roads sources being kept open, they may come to regard the farm problem with a little keener interest. What's the good of a complete’ Water-system with Dipes extending to every house in town, if the reservoir back in the hills is empty and there is no more water flowing into it? It won’t do to minimize the Importance of the beef and the flour and the pota- toes whichl the farms produce. They are the fuel. But even a mountain of fuel will do no effective work without engines for' it to- drive and_engineers to control the engines. Whilé the so-called farm crops bulk inte 'many millions bushels and their value into billions of dollars, the chief crop of the country still is what it always has been,—men. The twe boys with whose story we started off worked ten years digging out stumps, blasting out boulders, . fencing and fertilizing and plowing and hoeing. All they got out of their ten years' work in_crops and money and improved land value a striking railroad shopmen would have sneered at as insufficient for one vear's wages. But they seem to have produced something rather more valu- able than anything that can be garn- cred in a granary or reckomed in a bank deposit. The three acres had made two men, out of what was at the ont- set, mighty unpromising material. -Ab, dear fellow farmer, is your work hard? Is it unprofitable in money re- turn? Does it weary you sometimes like, 2 hopeless treadmill of unappreciated and unremunerative toil? Does it seem to take all the income from one year's crop just to make another next year? Are your potatoes rotting? Did the per- sistent _rains prevent your saving your hay? Well, there's one crop you can al- ways fall back on, which neither fresh- ets nor potato-rot can utterly ruin. And it's the .most important crop of all. Don't neglect it. THE FARMER. ——— LYME Mr. and Mrs. L. D.
