To the Officers and Members of the Union: A farmer driving to the city with a load of cotton, produce or On some errand is struck by the generdl* neat ness of some cottage, probably the home of h workingman. Flowers bloom in the yard, well-kept grass grows on the lawn, the fences are neat and painted, and there is an air of distinction about the place. You say, “A sober, honest, industrious man must live there.” Next door is a dirty, unkempt place, cans and trash in the yard, fence falling down, and a general atmosphere of un kemptness. You say. “A shiftless, drinkinug. no account chap lives there.” But how mifch more noticeable these things are out in the broad, open country, where the air is sweet, the sunshine free of smoke and the stench and filth of a great city. You drive along a country road. President and! an<, come to a far,n Distinction marks it in a hundred little ways. The fences are all up, and no rotting or tumbling rails are seen: the fence corners are free of hushes, briers and “eds; the ditches are clean-cut. with no wide hedge of rank weeds growing along either side, and .the land cultivated close up: the st/mps and rocks are out of the fields. Even the rows and appearance of the~nelds themselves show the thri/ty care of Intelligent application. - ^Presently you come to the house. Flowers grow in the yards, which are cleat} and well-kept, with a neat ly graveled walk leading up to the front porch. Barns’ and out-houses are in good repair, and no rusting farm toolvoc machinery clutter yards or barn lot. And you know without a question that here a real man lives, a man that will do to trust, a business man: he pays his obligations, and, moreover, is g real neighbor and a helpful one.

Among the more popular courses to be offered in the class-rooms (all and he made a good living out of It.

No palings surround the house, no flowers grow in it, but a litter of every sort of thing encumbers it. The roof of the stable and barn are leaky, the doors propped up, rust ing farm tools and machinery stand about corroding in the weather. Four or five lazy hounds sleep about the door or yard, and everything about is desolate and depressing. You will find without query that a shiftless, indolent, purposeless, don’t care man lives there. He couldn’t get a cent of credit from anybody without secu rity. His wife is a hopeless drudge, with just energy to crawl about; h:s daughters run away and marry at the firs: opportunity, and h.s boy* go to town or ^way from home as soon as they are big enough to know enough to/leave. Up and down this nation I have traveled, and I have se*-n both types everywhere, and I have never made inquiries yet that I did not confirm my views between the two—the hustler and the drone. And often, too. both men have equal chance in so far as productlvitity of the land goes. I see in my tra'els something in this connection that makes me hope ful. The first-named class is getting more numerous, and the last-named fewer and fewer. Of <ourse. we u;!:! probably always have the don’t-care tarn^nr. but his < iass is vinishlng at a gratifjug rate, to be replaced by alert, hand-working farmers who realize that farming is a profession.j calling for h.gh intelligence aud com mon sense.
