Getting the Good out of Life,
fhii'Rgo Breeders' Gazette ' ,
"One of the most fixed and un
alterab'e faces df life," said the
Professor to his c ass in psycho
logy, "is-the essential imperma
aency of sensation." Put that
aa plain farmer language, what
does it mean ? Sensation is feel-
".. jug, that includes p eaMire. pain,
love, hat?, joy, xisry. Imp-r
aaanency mean that athiogdoes
Dot eudure. A first mosquito
bite is an annoying thing; men
In mosquito countries allow . the
, eager insects to fill themselves
irith blood, undisturbed; they do
not feel them any more. The
child loses its ball or . breaks its
doll and life is desolne to it, but

ties in later years.
Farming is only an incident in
life; it is not. Jife itself Men
farm to live Pity the man
hose aim is so low th it lu lives
to farm ! The work-horse does
that and gets small joy out, of it.
There is so much to farm life bi
sides the growing of corn and
the fat!ening of beeves and
swine. Dwellers in cities como
to the couu.ry and are intoxica
tod wkh the joy of the land. To
them the fields tell stories of
. jest and peace, the woods whis
per of paradise, the brooks tell
stories of sins washed away, the
cool evening when only the birds
call confidently to iacii other
bring a message of forgiveness
and hope and the dewy morn
ings bring fresh a-surance aud
ntw born desin.s It is a won
der to these half st,rang3rs to
country life that men who dwell
'always amid such "scenes should
be sordid or discontented or guil
ty ot aims. They forget that
truth of ,lth j essential ijaperma
lency of sensation," that coun
try dwellers lose the very best
gifts of the country through
overmuch familiarity.
And what is the remedy ? It is
not easy to suggest, yet here is
a hint. Once we happened on a
camp where farmers were as
sembled, their harvests gather
d, their com ripening.no ur
gent duties requiring them at
home. There was a cluster of a
dozen tents pitched in a leafy
grove of maples. Each tint shel
tered a family and one large
open canvass sheltered the sit
ting room, the assembly. A
short distance away the spring
broke out from the mossy bank
aid t'noro a placid stream reflect
ed the sycamores. These poo
pla camp each year a week
or so. They have a telephone
at the camp so they are witiiin
call of home should they be leedi
ed. They rest, become acquaint!
ed with each other, read, tak
morning dips in the cool wateg:
Tne whole curreut of their
thought is changed and rested.
And when they go back to their
homes it is to see all things new,
to feel once more a thrill of jov
m the beauty and goodness of
home sctjnes, to see things that
they had forgot to see at all.
And the cost of this is not more
than to live at home. It is trav
el and adventure with the misery
of baking, cendery railway jour
neying left outthough h.-it in
dted would make one love his
home when he got back to it.
Country dwellers get too little
out of country life. A saddle
horse is cheaply kept. A West
ern pony may not have style,
buthehasgo. A canter to the
village will make the blood cir
culate better and the man feel
younger. A half day from the
grind of farm work now and
then will open a new perspec
tive and enable the farmer to'sre
his way more clearly, besides
getting him in touch with the
joy of the world. Aid the wo
men most of all ueed the new
sensation, so that the old ones,
most blessed of all, may be
again rpnwed.
