THE M ONROE JOEEM AX VO M- NO 50 MONROE, N. C, TUESDAY JANUARY 12 1904 One Dollar a Year 11 Fanning j? as an Occupation. A FAMILYJEMEDY P-ni-n In Use In Thoutandi of Homes. 1 1 Mr. ttWTJ N. BtfTeOa, Of HkUAM ff i Bcarh, U I, rw York, proprietor of J ' lb Richmond UutcL wrlU.! J i "It fire mo platoon to teotlfy to tko A illlam lnniua Knra. luCn9oltUu Naft alit f January. It U with exceeding pleasure that Hie following su-siions are pre-. sented in regard Ui the desirability of funning as a life-occupation. First - It is an iiJjH'inUiit way of living, eomiared with work iu the t ity. The farmer ran supply his tible with meat, vegetables, bread, milk, butter and e&;s. ami he is less ntli-eled th in the residents of the city liy 11 net nations in the price of these : commodities. The elothinK account, I too, is less for those who live iion the farm then for those - no live in Uwu, s. that it is mucl, i.-iier and, much embarrassing to practice! economy. Not only in dnbutin! living, tin farmer .re- his family avoid .ha riva - th.i i-fi toextrav ajjance, false pretense and the ener vating vices. Second - It requires less capital to Ix'in work upon a farm than to en ter any other sort of indejiendent hiisiuess. and one can usually obtain farm land on the shares, whereas for any mercantile pursuit it is neces sary to pay rent, often in advance. If one has not the means to bu horses, and plows and other agricul tural implements, he can usually tind a small piece of ground near a town or city w here he can raise vegetables, nd thus make a start that will en able him to equip himself for larger fanning. Third All the niemliers of the family can assist in farming, and that, ton, without hardship. The wife can, without sacrifice of dignity or a great amount of drudgery, look after the milk, make the butter ami look after the chickens. The girls, as they grow up, can assist the mother, and the Ixiys, Ijcforc and after school and during the vacation, can help with the choies and with the farming. Their work is not only of pecuniary value to the household, but it can lie rendered iu such a way as not to in terfere with their schooling, and is of much more value to them in the w ay of exercise than any sort of siort in which they can indulge. Fourth - Life upon the. farm is healthful. One has out loor air and exercise, both of which are strength-' ing to the body. The vigorous con-, tititioii ce eloped upon the farm enables the. farmer's boy to outstrip the city-grown boys in the test of riuiura u e that comes later in life. Fifth - Tim habits of industry and application acquired upon the farm are valuable capital, no matter to what occupation or profession the mind is turned. The patience, per severance and energy which are de veloped in rural life are the founda tn 'lis upon which one may build in every honorable vocation. Sixth - Farm life cultivates hospi tality and generosily.and, w ithout en tirely removing temptation, gives pa rental inriiience a chance to strength en the child before the seeds of dis pliedieiice are implanted by evil HaMiciHtiong. People who live miles apart in the country are better ac quainted with each other and more attached to each other than the neigh bors who are huddled together in the same house, and the children who grow up on the farm can be more careful in their company, and are less apt to contract lad habits, than boys in town. In the city there is little manual labor for the boy to do, and to keep him from associating with the ltoys who are by chance thrown in his way, requires a constant exercise of larental authority. In the country, larkncs Upitji (he world, and makes the fireside a welcome retreat for all. The farm is also conducive to good morals.

But if the farm as it is has , been the nursery of merchants and ministers, orators, statesmen, the farm as it may be and should be is still more inviting. The introduc tion of acetyleuc and other kin is of gas, and the perfection of electrical apparatus, will enable multitudes of farmers to substitute a modern light for the dim candle and the smoking lamp. Tim wind-mill and the supply tank are not only saving the muscle of the man, but are contributing to the convenience of the housewife. With water running through the house and supplying both the kitch en and the bath-room, the lot of the farmer's w ife will ls very much im proved. Another invention is likelv to have a marked influence uixn farm life, namely, the telephone. No one who has not live! remote from a physi cian can appreciate the anxiety which a mother feels in case of accident or sickness in the family. The tele phone reduces by one-half the time lietween injury and relief, and in ad dition to this makes it possible for the farmer to communicate w ith his neighbors, receive and send tele grams, and be in constant touch w ith the outside world. The writer's attention has lecn recently called to the telephone as a time-saver among ' farmers, and one now wonders how people could have done without it so long. The electric car line has already begun to link city with city and to supply the farmers along the line with cheap and rapid tninsMrtation for themselves and their products. It will be surprising if the electric lines and the telephones do not re sult in the next few years in a large increase in the value of suburban I property. In this connection, the good roads" movement cannot be over looked. The value of a iiesmaiieut and at all times passable road is Is1 fa....rv Manila frtnn tha (In nff Parana. write at one to nr.

Reverence, teaches resiKinsibilitv, and a sense of respon sibility is a w holesome restraint upon conduct. SeventhThe farmer lerns early in life the true basis of rewards, liy having to give a dollar's worth of labor for a dollar's worth of product, he is taught, that service, to be fair, must lie reciprocal, lie never falls into the demoralizing habitof ex pecting something for nothing, lie leaches by example that labor is hon orable, and has that sense of proprie torship in his handiwork which only those have who feel that they .have honestly earned all that they receive. His ideas of life air, therefore, apt to be high, and he imparts to others the stimulus which his occupation and environments excite in him. Kighth The husbandman is also the most reliable political factor in the nation, lie is the best-informed and the most independent of all who take part in political life, While he is conservative and not subject hi frequent change ; while he has con victions and is usually a strong par tisan, yet his opinions are his own and, as a rule, he can neither be bought nor driven to cast his vote contrary to his judgment. lule it is true that in close Mates the corruption of voters has some times extended to the farm, still it is a well know n fact that repeating and bribe-taking are largely city vices. Hie summer days are long, and the fatigue of the harvest leaves lit tle energy for study, but the winter evenings bring compensation, and the Sabbath day is in the country usually a day for thought and retlcc- tioti. . While the labor organization has now done much to turn the attention of its memliers to the study of eco nomic questions, vf with the growth of great corporations, the laboring man has become more and more de pendent uion his employer, and the wage-carncrMs not so free to make his ballot express exactly what he wants as is the man who works for himself and sells his products in the open market. Henry Clay, fifty years ago, in de- funding the right of the people of South America to self-government, said : ' Were I to speculate in hy potheses unfavorable to human lib erty, my speculations would be founded rather upon the vices, re- hnements, or density of population Crowded together in compact masses, even if they were philosophers, the contagion of the passion is commu nicated and caught, and the effect too often, 1 admit, is the overthrow of liberty. l)isi?rscd over such an inv mense space as that on which the peoplcof Spanish America are Spread, their physical, and' I believe also their moral condition, both' favor their liberty."' In enumerating the advantages of farm life, it ia not necessary to say that the farmer enjoys all the bene fits that are now within his reach There it probably no field in which there is greater room for improve- sUs k-jobU-r, he is also relieved of fear of the sudden liases that are still more frequent hi those whose fortunes rise and fall with the mar kets; and the terrors of tld and drought and wind and hail are, all combined, less to be dreaded than the conscienceless greed of the mon opolists wIk wreck the business of competitors and swindle confiding stockMders. To the brie Hess barrister who is not ashamed to work, to the pale faced clerk who is not ashamed of dirt- to all who ran labor an 1 lie content with moderate returns, the farm offers a welcome. Kven the dum animals are more wholesome companions than the bulls and hears of Wall street, and the harvests give back smile for smile. RELATING TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The State universities are giving increasing attention to studies that will tit young men for the intel ligent pursuit of agriculture, and what could be more gratifying f If i father is able to start his son in business with ten thousand dollars, what business is so safe as farming? (ilven a young man with a thorough education, good habits, willingness to work, and a desire to make him self useful, where can he fare lietter than on a farm? He can apply his brains to the enriching of the soil, to the diversification of his crops and to the improvement of his stock, anil at the same time give reasonable indulgence to his taste for reading and study. He will have all that contributes to health of body, vigor of mind and to cultivation of the heart - what occupation or profession can offer him richer rewards y True, the soil will not yield him the fabulous wealth that he might secure by cornering the production or supply of some necessary of life, but it will respond to his industry and give that of which dishonest gains would rob him "a conscience void of offense toward Ood and man."

How necessary, then, that a very serious effort should lie put forth to encourage the child in everything that would tend to pro mote and elevate the mind of the youth upon whose shoulders the same daring resxinsibility will in evitably rest sooner or later. There is nothing more pleasing to my mind than to see the reasoning and thinking faculties of a child ex panding, widening out. going on from things to relations, from facts' tt principles by recaled acts. The child, by its own efforts, enables it self to capture life mid grasps after knowledge; then should it not re ceive ncouragemeiit from the one who would be honored if a success was attained ?

Stories of the monev made hv men in this section through their dealing in cotton 1111? ofum told in Charlotte, but the majority of them are accom panied by the statement that thu luckv parties have since lost all they made and arc just a little worse off than when thev started. An Obser ver retKirter. however, heard yester day of a dealer living in a neighbor ing town w ho bought and sold spot the actual staple in hales - in such a manner as to make a clean-up of I100.WO, The story was that he iiuri'hkied a large lot of cotton when the staple whs a shade under 10 cents and disiKised of it when the quota tions were ranging just a little under 11 cents. Another storv, but with altogether a different termination, has also been going the rounds in cotton circles in Charlotte recently. It is that a well known mill man w ho buys cotton for a large number of factories located not far from the city, decided, some months ago when the market quota tions on cotton were about cents. that it would be well to lay in a year's supply of the staple. Acting upon the idea that cotton would c up aud stay up, he went to New York to secure the money needed to carry the required amount, quite a nice sum of cash lieing required. On his arrival in '.he money renin he found that in making the deal he would have to go contrary to the judgment of men who ought to know more alsmt w hat cotton would do than he They told him by all means to hold off ; that K cents was a fair price for the cotton of this year s crop, and that it would W foolish for him to put so much money in high-priced staple when the market was sure to decline. The mill men, so the story goes, took the New Yorkers' word for it. and now hss the satisfaction of knowing that his first impulse was worth something like 100,(KX),even though he had merely stored the cot ton and allowed its value to increase as the market went up.
