Have you ever took ? plissant stroll over the farra with a real prosperous farmer about this time bf tue year? J.f yon have, yon have never felt better over a little entertainment io your day a. When X say a prosperous far mer 1 do not mean tho exclusive or almost exclusive cotton grower! I mean the man that farms like a real, full-blooded, unadulterated farmer. This prosperous farmer, about this season of the year, will lead you around to view the excellent plowing he is doing; ne will want you to see how deep the plows have been going down, and how smooth and even the email grain and erasa lands have been made with bia improved Implements; he is admiring the noe stands of the amati grain, clovers, lucern and tur nips, and is comparing tho prospects ? cf tba outcome o? nts teat between the I trench-drilled oats and the smooth t broadcast sown wits, all now showing vigorous growth io the contest for good "graf t" upon, ' tho land before the try ing winter upheavals may come alo?g. . \ Tho big--ye)low hinter pears ara vicing ; wita tho red winter apples for the prizes of both beauty and lus cious davor, while the ox-eyed daises and goldeu rods are making cautious bows .to each other, that are no kin whatever, to the courtesies shown to each other by the cotton buyers. Upon hill and dalo every where on the, farra at this season of the year are myriade of the smaller autumn flowers, -richly colored yellow, red, purple and green leaves-that lend enchant ment to the scene, while the dazzling evening aun drives ont of the whole florat of the earth the autumnal zepha that is heaven-like. ', ; This happy farmer of ye olden time?, cn his tread'homeward in tbe evening as ' the sun goes down, does not nervously hasten to find out how cotton pricer are ?olnr. today, aa if his life-and that of his family, too-de pended upon the price of cotton, hut he will lead you around by the barn yard, and wa?eb:t?s cows come homo Waddling along with their fall udders, v?nd listen, to the quaek and cackle of the poultry, the sq neal of the, fat shoats, and the neigh of th? frolicing colts and olate of ?he prise calves. Th? last load of corn for the day is topped off with golden pumpkins, walle tho cotton' xs stored away in the I?atead of; rushing away, night and day, over each : other Just to see v7ho can got rid of the stuff first, . Th? conversation in the evening around the fireside is not so much about cotton futures ss about the fu ture prospects of thar ??gy-cheeked daughters and the raddy, manly sons. Thia kind of farmer does not lay awake at night studying over the problens of fhdldingr his cotton; and at the same tima raise money to pay bis bills for store cora, meat and store nay. That he already, has in his houses in shun;: dance* This farmer does not under tako io mn a raerciintile farm without the necessary capitaK l>y purchasing many products at high rates that grow out of the ground on the farm to pro duce only one crop that requires a business qualification and tact not of ten ; found in the " ordinary farmer. This independent farmer is a co-work er with nature, and is close to nature's LJod. Ho ia moro independent and has lesa to worry h'\m ?hon a king, and there is no. one above him in hts huai-, nose save Him : unto who all desire to ' look, for supreme counsel. _ |to Voa Really Want to Become en lode pendent Fanner?
