Ami too often we fall In a useless fight. For wrong is so much in the place of right, And the end is so far beyond our sight, Tis as one starts on a chase by night, An unknown shade pursuing; Fvcn so do we see, when our race is run Ttiat of all we have striven for little is won, And of all the work our strength has done,, How little was worth the do ing. So most of us travel with very poor speed, Failing in thought where we conquer in -deed. Least brave in the hour of greatest need, And making a riddle that few may read. Of our life's intricate mazes. Such a labyrinth of right and wrong. Is it strange that a heart once brave and sMong Should falter at last and earnestly long For a ralm sleep under the daisies? Hut if one poor troubled heart can say: “His kindness softened my life's rough way,” And the tears fall over the ffteless clay, We shail stand up in heaven in birghter ariay Than if all earth rang with our pr.i -ee. » U,*r the good we have done shall :iev *-r fa ie, Tho' Mi, work !*e wrought and wages pm I. \i;d the wearied frame of the laborer la'd AH peacefully under the dai* b'S A Mnine in t lie < Oimlry.

W'e are feeding rows for prolit and if on experience we find that more or less of a grain ration is profitable tho rows get it. i2i We must remember that it takes a considerable portion of tins combined ensilage and alfalfa ration to support the work of grind ing it lYnd putting it into proper con dition for digestion All work ot this kind that the row does must tic paid for in feed. It costs more in the economy of the row machine to reduce roughage of any kind to a digestive condition than it does well ground grain feed. For that and the other reason given the addition of. say, four to'six pounds of a good grain ration is a profitable thing. In.differlng with others, even when we know we are-right, courtesy and regard for their feelings ought al ways to be shown. Too often the sensibilities of others are- hurt by rudeness or violence of speech. The surest and iquickest remedy for the carnival of crime that is •weeping over this Country is for the people to fear God and keep his com mandments. *.*. p,hip 1** gn n 'h* - , . do t hex loH si a *• x no pin, *, lo go ; i hes*- w rctch* d abotes ot ne' Ye r H V . a en t nx the I (III t ai t 1 H (lod - n d rt, would tie a '.Hi 'o Hi • se Ho iiisn n Is of w i ot < h • ••!

The tod, the drudgery, the privation of their early life, in the country, to escape which they had come to the city when young, was as nothing beside the quaint little old house by._the roadside, the open barn and the great tttpti irttir rhT' Mirwcrrng irrad of-hay, the blessed old well and its flowing bucket, and the smiling fields. As we passed out jxith the emercing throng, we heard expression like these. "Wasn’t it sweet and dear?" "Oh, if we could only get bark to the country once more;" and the like. Now this mighty attendance, night after night, was hut the deep and abiding longing in the hearts of these men and-women for a home in the country. Country life in the United States has just awakened to a partial reali zation of Its meaning. The light of scieince. of art, of invention, is sur rounding farm life with compensa tions today that the city cannot offer. Great fortunes are not made here,’ nor are they desired, but comfort, peace, abundance of * good food, health and that freedom that "passes all understanding” In cities, is the heritage of the country. Then again, life on 'the farm is calling for an amount of intellectual force/ real brain action that stamps It as one of the learned professions of the day. To be a thorough student of the soil and its needs; of plant life and the management of crops; of the breeding and care of animals; is an accomplishment of brain and thought that may well challenge the amblt$oAi of the most learned.

It has splendid possibilities for the most perfect life, the most invigorat ing, the freest and more inspiring Its work is not drudgery when the significance and full meaning of that work is comprehended.
