Show CHATTER. f .... - (Being the personal opinions of the writer and for which no one else is In any manner responsible.) Up to date the writer has never objected to the practices of the gentle fanner in his methods of making a living. The violent union man, with his picketing and his boycotting, the coal striker, whose voluntary quitting of work raised the price of fuel; the beef trust, with its heavy advance In the cost of pork, shin bones and mutton chops; the flour trust, the oil trust, the cracker trust, the baking powder trust and all the balance of the trusts have In times past received attention, but the farmer never. Because, having been a farmer once myself; having i had no use for the internal economy of my purchase. Now, that is why I have gone back on the farming class, from whence 1 sprung. That is why I say the horny-hande- d son of toil is no better than he should be. It is evident that the commercialism of the times has made a degenerate of him; that he has become as sordid as the balance of us: And I am sorry, because time was when the chap who chased a pair of half broken steers, attached to a plow, through a newly cleared timber lot, was considered the greatest of them all. He might cuss those oyen and cuss harder than any other being on earth, and while he would guzzle rum and hard cider until he smelled to heaven and couldnt tell his own name, he never would cheat a human being except in a horse trade. He was a synonym for probity and fair dealing; a rugged monument of treatment. Alas, how have the mighty fallen! To think that this erstwhile idol should be shattered. Verily are we degenerating and doing of it fast. Oh, for the good old lays when every man who tilled the soil was honest and truthful; when a lie was despised and turkeys were not fed overnight before killing. When, people traded side meat, and loaned out the sausage machine and swapped hunks of butter, without weighlhg, and went to bed nights with the Hatch string hanging out through the hole in the door. Oh for the glad old times when the gentle granger could be trusted in everything and didnt cram his poultry with, chaff, chopped feed and other just before were 24 turks when to market, going bric-a-bra- c God save America, certs the pound. because: the old land needs saving. Her bone and sinew has been contaminated with the spirit of the times, corruption seeks a nesting place in the hen houses and fraud and dishonor crouch in the turkey coops. I can write no more.
