Show Up to the Farmer. When a farmer breeds indifferent cattle, horses or sheep he receives less for his labor and feed than he should receive, adds less to the wealth of his state than the up-to-date 'farmer, 'farm-er, and is at a disadvantage when he undertakes to secure for himself and family the things which help to make life worth living, says a writer in an exchange. I do not mean to say that the individual farmer owes more to the community or to the state than the laborer, the lawyer, the doctor, the educator, the preacher or the business man; but we do expect more from them as a whole, because there are more of them than all these others combined. |
