If some of the farmers who are dis
couraged because they have not made
.S3, fortune off their farms and who feel
inclined to envy their brother toilers in
. tue city, imagining that life in the city
is more desirable than theirs, easier
and filled with plenty of leisure to en
Joy all the pleasures with which the
: rustic imagination gilds and glorifies
those distant scenes and activities,
they needV only try to find out their
mistake. 'Tai* fields are green" and
lose much of their attractiveness upon
a nearer view.
To the city man of ordinary means
I opportunities, who, like the ordi
nary farmer, has no hank account to
fall back upon in case of emergency,
life is one "demnition grind" and with
out the soothing influences of nature
that surround the farmer to quiet the
fever and unrest with which the strug
gle, competition and turmoil around
him keep his nerves on the rack day
r day. As a rule, such men are not
ihcir own masters, but must order
their speech, demeanor and inclinations
,1 to please the powers that have control
over their daily doings in order to keep
bread in the months and clothes on the
Stacks of boin themselves and their
?a milies.
The farmer, if he does not feel well, |
can rise in the morning at whatever
bcur it pleases him so to do, for an
:t* or so or a day or two does not
^znake much difference- in his affairs, !
except at the most critical periods of j
planting and harvesting. He can have
Iiis own opinions, and voice them, too,
?on politics and religion and all the
stirring questions of the day without
?fear of antagonizing the powers that
jpe5 who can **sack" him if his views |
and opinions do not happen to coincide
>with these of his masters or vover
lord" (the boss).
^ That the farmer is a hard worker no
" /body can deny. Tilling the soil is not
easy work. Since Gkrd gave the com
mand to man to "earn his bread by the
sweat of his face" the farmer's life
nas been a life.of toiL It takes some
strength and effort to dig a living out
cf the ground. It is not easy to earn a
living, much less a fortune, without
effort, and the farmer is net the only
one who "sweats." Brain workers
iiave no sinecure, although some per
sons imagine that all they have to do
is to sit at a desk and add up figures
or to twiddle a pen in their fingers. The
life of ? salesman behind the counter
is most wearisome and monotonous.
The beautiful days of spring go by.
the birds are singing as they build
their nests, the flowers are blooming in
the valleys and on the hillsides, and the
grass is growing greener 'and greener
in the meadows, ye:; never a glimpse
does he get of the beauty of the bright
.world except when he can take a car
ride of an evening or on a Sunday or
soiiday.
A grocer's clerk works more hours
>and harder than the average country
boy, who can go to the "corner" and
? pitch quoits and gossip with his cronies
when the city young man is just get
ting from work, and, as for the man
who delivers milk in the city, he has
i even harder work and longer hours.
At -1 in the morning and even earlier
.s wagon is heard on the streets and
himself racing from i^p to bottom of
the high apartment buildings in the
cold and sleet: cf a midwinter's morn
ing or in the enervating, heat of sum
? mer. At breakneck speed he goes, and
one eosld almost imagine that his life
depended upon getting through his
rounds in due season. Competition Is
so great that he must neglect nothing
and always be pleasant and obliging
to the most unreasonable of customers
for fear of losing one. There are the
icemen, carrying fifty pounds and often
100 pounds of ice up four flights of
stairs, which is no easy task, and as it
is nor skilled labor the pay is probably
not more than it should be. considering
the amount of strength expended.
Hard as the work is and moderate as
Is the pay. no man can afford to lose
his job. so he has to be- very careful mot
to antagonize his employers.
The man who iuo?s business on a
small scale and is his own boss prob
ably finds it no easier to make a living,
for he has to do the greater part of his
own work, and in the case of a bad or
unprofitable season is sometimes not so
well off as his hireling, who is sure of
his wages at least.
That man who owns his land and
lias good health is a poor farmer who
einnot make at least a living for him
-self and family. It may not be a sump
tuous Jiving, but it may be a compara
tively comfortable one. This cannot
be said of all sorts of occupations.
There is another hope ahead for the
farmer. If be doesn't have good luck
th'.s year, he znay the next. There is
always a chance that there will be a
better yield in crops and a better price
in the market. The element of uncer
tainty adds zest Hp life which a settled
amount of wages from month to month
and from year to year cannot give, and
he is always sure of enough to eat on
the farm of some sort or another.
The time is coming and is not fardis-1
tant when the farmers life will bo
looked upon as the ideal life by many
of the world weary toilers of the
/crowded cities. Even now the one
bright drer.m of many a drudger in the
stores and offices is of a happy time
coming when he will have a farm, a
home ail his own in the country, where
ae can rest his tired brain and nerves
as he sits lvne;nh his own vine and
Hg?qj. apple- tree. Whoever despises a
farmer's life is a fool: it is the most
Independent life on earth. ? Country

fr WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUM)
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.
After the labors and toils of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition of
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some ihe
liver is torpid: there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiiing, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges of
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worn', overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the worker's friend, Paine's Celery Compound;
the only medicine that can quickly and fullv
J restore strength to the weak body and vigor tc
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism: it feed:
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgic tortures; it purifies the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estar>
I lishing of a perfect physical vigor to with; tend
! the rigors of a severe winter.
