! U'lmt farmer \orih**f» hm to Say About
Them and III** FflPiilPi*.
The popular idea mnong observing
people, is that there is much in appear¬
ances. The manner and the habits atul
the dress of j e >ple serve,
to determine somewhat their business
1 asul their success, in this way, with¬
out the utterance of a word or the in¬
dication of a statement, and through
no other source than bare appearances
we determine a man to be a clergyman,
a lawyer, a merchant or a farmer, as
the case maybe. Appearances go even
farther. Men who are good observers
of tilings about them can tell in a good
degree the success of others simply by
appearances. good farmer himself in
A never seats
a rickety vehicle, behind a poor team,
to be drawn by harness that is one-tliird
cotton strings, We can almost always
tell a good farmer by appearancc.es.
Everybody knows that ‘‘all is not gold
that glitters,” and that “appeaiances
are often deceptive.” rule These are ex¬
ceptions; the is, “you may know
a man by the. company he keeps and
the coat lie wears.”
Look upon a man’s fields and yon
have a very fair idea of the man him¬
self. flet still nearer to him and ex
amine bis fences, his barn, bis slu d, Its
tools and his home, and yon have him
drawn to life. Whatever may be his
marvelous tales and of his thrift, \ ou need to
see his fields home before you
can fully measure the man. If’the
fields are full of bushes and stumps and
stones, about which weeds are growing
luxuriantly, you at once make your
standard for the man. If about the
barn you find dilapidation and atul decay
the fences awrv the manure was¬
ting, you have sufficient data to form
an accurate opinion Steps as to the home income
from his farm. to the sha¬
ky and unsafe, the window shutters
hanging by a leather strap for a hinge
the. door shutter resistance dragging that upon requires the
I lloor, with a
one-horse power to open it, the roof
leaking and the top of the chimney
blown oil’, are all marks of the man’s
character and thrift, unmistakable in
the tale they tell. Strangers can tell
you the appearance of the man by
taking bis likeness from his surtound
ings. do the farmer is

much reduced to improve his surround
ings. A few days’ work, at times
when nothing bushes, else can be done, will and
remove the the stumps

dustrious effort w ill right up the fences.
In two days a shelter can he made that
will hold a year’s accumulation of ma¬
nure. Two or three bushels of corn or
wheat sold will pay for a new stem to
chimney; a few dozen eggs or some
extra poultry will repair the blinds and
the shutters to the door, and a little
proper economy will shelter the home
and the family front the decay that
comes by the storm and the chill that
brings sickness and disease through
lack of comfort.
These improvements should he made
not simply for the sake of appearances.
To live in the midst of dilapidation and
decay takes away a good portion of a
man’s active forces. On the contrary,
the simple appearance of thrift gives
energy and impulse and the possibility to effort, as of it in¬
spires hope well managed farm and suc¬
cess. A a
comfortable, well kept home stand as
a beacon to a community and a stand¬
ard to others.
Our aim on the farm should not be
so much, immcnsejyields method and at order. the sacrifice Such
of neatness,
policy will sooner or later bring decay.
It is far better to do less and do it well.
Remove the hindrances and obstruction
from the fields; keep all work stock in
thrifty, comfortable condition; the barn
plain and simple it may he, but well
kept and neat in appearance; above all
see that the home is one worthy of the
wife, who gives her service day in and
day out for the comfort and happiness
of the household, and you will feel bet
fer for the effort and become, actually,
more prosperous from your improved
! surroundings. work
The usual farm is now over,
and before another season’s labor is
fairly begun there is ample time for the
improvement of the farm in all its
needed changes and repairs, (live ev¬
erything a bright brush of paint and
j whitewash; light up the home with
comfort, happiness and cheer, make
even heart about you glad, and then
the sunbeam will come to you bur¬

and the rain drop sparkle in Xurthen, the splen¬
