The second to bis government that

The third is to better the condition !
and ndvancc the interests or his clud

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

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',

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

wife, no more important homo than
the country home, and lt is of national
importance to do the best we can for
