Tlie lirwt is to his home and fam ily. The second to bis government that petmlts him to enjoy tho blessing and happiness of his home and family. The third is to better the condition ! and ndvancc the interests or his clud en occupation. Since we are looking at the fann er's side of the question, what should be his action and what eau lie do to better his condition? There are certain conditions exist ing that must be met Hud overcome to obtain results desired by the farm er. What legislation ls needed niuei be secured by hts combined efforts. A* an Individual among one hundred mil lions of people he ls infinitesimally small, and ns an individual he is hopelessly helpless to do one thing to obtain relier. The moment thc farm er attempts to relieve any burden created by tinhut taxation or unequal di; trunnion of lt, it makes no differ ence in what direction, he is met by an organized force: No argument ls needed ut this time to cc<?vince any intelligent farmer that such is the case. Jt 1B not enough thal h<> cont? pis,ii;; 'and wuuts some!"llng done hut he is morally bound lo do some thing himself and not merely wish it done. Ile lias power und lt in his duty tu iee that power so us lo make it uvu'.luhle and Illa Influence ?eli or Li: power available us un Individual (and I say he cun ?oil bli duty ls to make it bo. and i Lal can only be done th)ough lila organiz"d efforts. Every farmer owes it to society to ussisi in securing honest legislators and Ju.-t representation. Thut u lethargy ex ista among farmers in regard to po litical duties t:? evident from the class cf legislator.* ibot represent them, composed ns lt ls almost wholly or men from other professions and pos sessing but little Interest In the ar iah ; of tho former. The farmer has Bi.bmltted so long lo the powers that be tlint in many places ho baa lost confidence in bis ability lo do any thing, and above all needs tho stimu lating influence of a farm organisa tion to awaken his energies and give him courage. If th a farmer hopes to keep pace with other callings tn the race ot life be mu -t travel at the same rate of speed. In order to do this he must employ some of the 6ame agen cies, and organization, above all. 1B the one upon which ho. relies, ir he would maintain a high standard of womanhood be must secure for her equal privileges In social and educa tional circles, for whenever she falls below bim in ability or culture sh? ceases to be his equal or Idol. If he desires his boys or girls to be shining lights lu tha wcrld, whether -on the farm or elsewhere, he must give them the opportunity for development, un til, their orb U compassed or sphere complete. Tal Phillips ot Sandy Springs ask ed that we tell the difference between monopoly ea? socialism. The differ ence net ween monopoly and socialism ls.that under the rulo of monopoly a few men would own everything, while, under thc rule of socialism no man In a short time would own anything. If there were.?no other ?\lffereace so-, cialism would be woree than monop oly because, while both spell1 death in the end. socialism, being tho quick er death, leaves us less hope and less opportunity of escaping it. I recently visited that part of old Virginia where George Washington was at one time the largest farmer in America. His- origlual will-still to he seen at the old Fairfax County court house, shows thai ne was the owner of nearly 60,009' acres of land. Of this great acreage 5,500 acres wero in Fairfax County. In 1753 a memo randum showed that he had crops as follows: ?fiO acres grass; 450 acres oats: 700 acres wheat; 709 acres corn; besides several hundred acres in rye, buckwheat, potatoes, peas, and tur nips. In that year he ki'ted 250 hogs for thc uso of bis faintly and his ne groes. Ile owned between 300 and too slaves. i J As late as 185i loni* seven , years nrlor to the beginning of the Civil War there were only thfee white fam 11(03 living on thc 5.500 acres, which Washington- had owned tn Fairfax County. At . present pwer 130 famille? own subdivisions of'thls land, or farm subdivisions ranging in size from 50 to 250 aeren. Dr.~Breedln says his hens are get ting no lazy that they don't get up until a quarter after nine In the morn ing, and asks for advice. Your prob lem moy be solved, doctor, by having chicken pie every day nr.?tl there ire no hens to "get up" an,i then get In a lot of nice bustling hens. Every farm should ho a ninitarlum. Fresh air. fresh water, fresh vegeta ble?, fresh fruits, fresh eggs, fresh milk and ire-di cream can be had In abundance. What health resort can do better? Nature nover made a greater mis take than when she deposited sand on the surface of certain farms instead of -placing li down ten or fifteen feet so that lt would be out of the way. I know a few farmers who have farm ed sssdy ;??? their lives and lt is ?"ftlcult for me to tell at tbti time wMch ot them ls the poorest, ;f tt*? day looks kinder gloomy. . An' yer chances kinder slim, If the situation's puxslln', An' the prospect's awful grim. An' perplexities keep pressin', -Till all tope ts nearly goa?, Jest bristle np and grit your teeth An' keep on keeping on. Honor ls a good thing to have, eith er to spend money on or borrow Honey on. 1 Don't get discouraged. It ls often the last key on tho bunch that opens the lock. Tal Phillips says a lie is an abomi nation to e*?ery one, but s pleasant ?e's Letter h' l?' i? time of trouble. The problem of country life is. In tlie truest senBc, a national problem. It is especially i ^/portant that what ever will serve to prepare country children for life on the farm, and whatever will brighten home life in the country and make it richer and more attractive for the mothers, wives und daughters of farmers, should be done promptly, thoroughly and glad ly. There is no more Importsnt per son, measured In Inlluence upon the life of tho nation, than tho farmer's wife, no more important homo than the country home, and lt is of national importance to do the best we can for holli. .lust think of it-a full table d'hote dinner for ?10 cents: Oysters, soup, tish, roast turkey, -alad, leo cream, fruit, demitasse! Where?! ! ! I don't know-but Just think of lt It is figured that thc war is cont ing $198 a second, $29,880 a minute, or $1.792,800 an hour, or $43.027.200 a day. This may bc a bargain price, but this country doesn't wnnt cay o? it. ull the ?ame. Do you think the devil really bas horan and hoofs? No, if lie had, the lteef trust would have got him long ago.
