iir e, h. TEWKgiiunr, oatawissa head
AT PAltMElls' INSTITUTE, MII.I.VII.I.R,
jANUAity 10th, 1889.
In tho discussion of thU eubjeot
thero is bo much to ba said that I am
at a loss ,Aer to begin, and in viow
ofitho fact, that,80jtnuoh has been said,
and bo well said, about farming, I am
troubled .tohal to say.
To dispups this.Bubject aa the title of
this paper, would seem to indioato that
it would bo treated ''That Farm of
Mine" might bring upon mo tho
ohargo of egotism, or dwiiring to pro
Bent my own farm, and air my own
surrounding-!. This is not ray desire,
nor my intention. I desire to etato
somo facte, advance soino ideas or
tlioorics, that may not simply please,
but profit; that will Bet in motion a
train "of thought that will result in
good to tho farmer.
I shall thereloro piesent, for tho
present at least, "That Farm of Mine"
in a general sense. In the first place
I want tho law making, or rather law
muddling powers, to keep their bands
off "That Farm of Mine"; that is to
say, I want no laws enacted for tho
especial benefit of "That Farm of
Mine." Whyt To havo a legal enact
ment either Stato or National for my
particular interest must most certain
ly be opposed to the individual interest
of somebody else and their business,
and thereby engender strife, and con
tempt of my business. The best pro
tcotion that can be afforded mo and
That Farm of Mine," is to be "sovern-
ly left alone." 1 tell you sir, what I
do want is jnBt what the story says tho
old woman wanted when her husband
and the bear had a fight, that was
'every body should stand baok and
give them fair play." "That Farm of
idiuo'' wants fair play. It does not
want to bo tied hand and foot and
thrown in tho river and asked to swim
by the side of every other business, un-
trammeled and unfettered. 1 desire to
present "That Farm of Mine" at pres
ent as an individual, living, moving
and having a being among otber in
dividuals, entitled to all the rights,
privileges and protection of any otber
individual, and no more, but just so
much. I demand that "That Farm of
Mine" shall bo treated in every legal
respect as an equal with any other
business set up along side of it and
that no enactment shall be mado com
pelling by law that it shall pay five
dollars out of every six dollars of the
taxes levied for the public need. As
au individual, that farm of mine has
rights that every other individual is
bound to respect. Why! Ueoause my
farm has to yield its individual righta
to tho rights of others; therefore, others
mortlly are bound by tho satno law.
That farm of mine has no moral right
to turn out.upon tho highway its cattle,
nor 8 es, Bbeep and dogs, to torage and
pillage upon the lauds of another, com
pelling him for self-preservation to
fence and fortify against, tho stock of
my farm; hence, no other farm has n
right morally, neither do I believe
leg'lly, to compel my farm to fence
against Us stook turned out to pasture
in the publio highway. I'may be mot
just hero by tho 'question, h not the
publio highway a publio placet 1 an
swer, yes. It is a publio place for
publio travel, but not for pu lio or
private pasture. My far , for in
stance, has a publio road laid out by
iaw uirougo it ior ono-inurin oi a mue
thirty-threo feet wide. For what pur
pose! The order of court tor opening
of said road says it !b ior publio travel.
Who presumes that any ono ot my
neighbors, or anybody elso has a right,
moral or' legal, to put up anywhere
along that eighty rods of road a hog
pen, cow or horse stable. If then you
havo no right to stable on ray laud
taken for public travel what right
can you possibly havo to pasture
You have a right to drive your cattle
along that highway, but no right to
turn them therein to pasture. If all
cattlo found upon tho publio highway
without a driver or keeper, were taken
up and treated as estrays, in ray opin
ion it would bo doing not only tho
land owners, but the cattle owners as
well, a great favor. If there is any
class of animals I pity it is those turn
ed out upon our highways to struggle
for an existence, subjec.ed to the as
saults of the vexed land owner, as ho
and "Tige" civos tho old brindle cow,
with crumpled horn and looks all for
lorn, exeroiso up and down the road,
ceasing only when ono or all aro com
pletely exhausted.
Having trealed imperfectly, as must
be in a paper like this, "That Farm of
Mine," as a person or individual, I
desire now britliy to coiniderit as an
object or thing "That Farm of Mine,"
in the first place must be well fenced
ueniamiu Irenklin said, "hrst fortify,
then beautify." In considering thU
feature, I nm taking the law of course
as it is not as it should be, in relation
to my farm. What do I mean, you
ak, by a good fenooT 1 mean ono no
matter of what material, that shall be
able to "repel invasion and suppress
insurrection." One, that by its very
appearance declares emphatically to all
riotous oattlo "Thus far shalt thou go
and no farther." Economy must be
used in laying out the lino of fences,
and arranging the fields, so that not an
unnecessary rod of fence is built there
on. In tho first place "That Farm of
Mino" must oonsist of but one field,
and then sub-divide into lots, such as
aro absolutely necessary for the use of
tbo farm, "That Farm of Mine" must
not be pastured to any very great ex
tent, tberetoro 1 snail not need many
xnsme lenoes.
We talk of taxes, and tariffs, and
reduction of revenues, and all that, but
the greater tax or tariff upon that
"Farm of Mine is tho fenoe tax and
and must bo reduced. This can not- be
done by letting it "go to the dogs" for
generally the more dogs tho poorer tho
fence, if not farm; but by a judicious
overhauling, re-arranging anil careful
Btudy of tho whole subject.
Having now foncoi that farm of
mine I am prepared to stock it. What
shall thot stock oonsist of! Thero
must be a few good sheep on that farm
of mine, No matter whether wool bo
taxed, or put upon the froo list, of Im
ported raw material, sheep there must
oo. wnyT it i pasmromy farm with
them, they rid it of briars, brambles
and weeds. The wild carrot anil white
daisy beooming so general, are irreedi
ly and readily eaten by sheep, and are
perieouy .oraaipateo; wneru thoy are ul
lowed to iuu. Their flesh makes the
best and moat wholesomo food, while
for clothing and bedding how glorious
is their ileecel Tho other animals of
tho farm I shall not disjmto with you
about. If you want a l'ercheron or a
pony, ,0 Morgan or a Ilamblctonian
horse, it is. all tho same to me, only I
ask that tho eternal fitness of things be
observed and that you get tho right
horse in tho right place, and havo that,
regard for him that you can say "My
kingdom for a horse." On that farm
of initio, of course cattlo and cows will
form the principal stock.- Whyt Ho
cause, unless you mako the raising of
horBes n specialty, they aro tho essen
tial thing upon the farm by way of
health, wealth and comfort, and gener
al utility.
Milk, butter, beef and leather havo
been, nnd now and over will be in do
mand in civilized society. More and
more as the population becomes donso
do wo find the demand increasing for
milk, aud you will observe that in tho
large cities, next to the demand for
water cornea tho call for milk. You
will some'of you remembor that last
winter during the tWQ days' blizzard
that Bhut oil the milk supply of New
York city that twenty-five cents per
quart was offered for milk in the mar
ket. Tho time was when tho doctors
bled, blistered, gave calomel and Iron
in some form, to cure or kill or give
strength to their patients. Now they
order milk even iu cases of fever. 1
am told that the inebriate asylums,
instead of giving them milk punch and
other stimulants to wean their pntieuts
from tho intoxicating cup they give
them pure hot milk. Of course thero
is none of us here that need hot milk
and perhaps I should not have spoken
of it. Butter, pure butter, that ob
tained from tho churning of cream, will
always more and more be an article of
demand among our population. Beef
will ever be a prime necessity of the
people of all lands and climes. For
another reason, "That Farm of Mine"
must keep the lino of stock indicated
is, that the general fertility of the soil
must b" kpt up and enhanced from its
o'vn resourses. Barnyard manure is
the great fertilizer needed by the
American farmer, with plenty of that
he needs nothing elso to enrich his
wasting soil. That farm of mine must
havo an abundant supply of fruit both
of the smaller and larger varieties.
Not simply a plant here, n briar, vine
and tree there, in a haphazard way,
but thero must bo system, and variety
not only for profit, but for beauty and
utility." Flora may bring her garland
of flowers, rich in perfume of tho field
and bowers, Ceres may come burdened
by her load of grain, tbe rich harvest
of field and plain; but, unless Pomona
comes, tho goddess of fruits, with
her offerings from plant, vine and
tree, the feast to me is incomplete.
As the subject of fruits has been or
will be specially discussed ,by others I
pass from this branch of my subject to
the buildings upon that farm ot mino.
Tbe house should be sufficiently large
for comfort, convenience and homo
purposes; and, so arrauged internally
that the greatest amount of heat can
be diffused with tho least amount of
fuel burned. It has been ascertained
by tomo ono who has investigated tbo
case that four-fifths of the fuel burn
ed goes. up tho stove pipe; therefore, it
seems to me very necessary to so ar
rango the house that all this heat may
be utilized. Somo peoplo aro very
fond of cold sleeping rooms, but for
my part, I am partial to warm quart
ers a warm houee. While tho farm
house Hhould bo largo and roomy, or
rather full of rooms, it should not bo
so large as to make slaves of its occu
pants. The kitchen should bo the
room of tho house. Around it let
every otber room revolve let that be
the centre. Every farm house should
bo built so that in it there may be a
lintmWal.rnnm nr turn. nnnnnf.p.l. vpt.
. . j.. . ... ... w.w.., j -
separate Irora lho living part of tho
house. To that end every room should
bo connected by doora for the conve
nience of tho occupants and tho geuu-
,1 diffusion of beat, Tho outbuild
ings, such as summer cookhouse, ooal,
wood, and other necessary outbuild
ings should be all connected aud under
root, so that tbe aged, lnhnn, and all
may enjoy the greatest amount of pos
sible convenience. Tho cellar should
be the largest aud best room in tho
house, and in it should start all tho
flues or chimneys of tbo house.
Tho barn should bo a bank barn,
largo and roomy, thirty-six feet wide?
and after vou get it lorty Itet long,
then add one foot for 'every aore of
cultivated land, and yon have about
the right proportion for tho average
farm. Thero must be suflicient shed
room for straw and corn-fodder. On a
farm where ono hundred acres are cul
tivated should require a storage capa
city of ono hundred tons. A barn
Unity-six feet wide ana ono hundred
feet long will give that, besides the
bank for stabling, aud thero must be
enough of that to perfectly shelter
overy hoof kopt on "That Farm of
Aline,' sheep included. jNone of tho
stock must be allowed to seek shelter
on the south side ot a uarutu wiro
fence, with a straw stack in the dis
tance. That's cruelty to animals, and
a shame to civilization, to say the leas-t
of it. The yard connected with tho
barn must alto bo largo and conven
lent. Connected with it must bo tho
heg pens, and other necessary barn
outbuildings. Tho implements ot the
farm when not in use must be as per-
tectiy housed as is ttip stock. These
outbuildings aud barn must bo sufii
ciently far from the house building

"That Farm of Mine," no matter where
In zone torrid or temperate,
In latitude south or north,
In altltudo high or low;
Whether out -n prairie wild
With Nature's green sod
Piled up to shelter me,
For neighbors only
Tho fast receding red man;
Or, In valley old, rich aud fertile,
With ancestral halls in which
For generations my fathers trod,
On whoso walls tho trophies
Or their prowess hang
That farm of mine, no matter where,
No farm it surely is
Unless thereon a home is found.
A home! a home! aye, a shrine!
Where generations may gathered be
Comfort and rest to flail.
Husband, wife, and children, too,
Olive plants, some call them,
A haven hero find at home,
Upon that farm of mine.
Froui fashion, guile, deceit, how freel
Free? free as tho air they breathe.
In character and life, how pure
That homo upon that farm of mine!
I'ure! pure as tho limpid streams
From which they quench their thl'st
When noonday heat upon them fall
As lrom morning labors they return.
A homo, strong, oh, how strong
It should be upon that farm of mine.
Strong In rectitude and right,
For God and man a power
To stay tho tide of corruption's
Blighting, withering curse;
Strong as the everlasting hills
Btanding all about us
By God's own hand set up,
Of his power the monuments.
That farm of mino a homo must havo
Wherein are taught precepts
That shall guide hand and
Head, and heart as well.
A place, a home, a mother's shrine
It must he. There are her jewels.
Earth yields us such gems.
From God's own rich diadem
They came like stars to shine
In the mother's crown
Till ho shall call for them again.
A question here I ask,
Dear friends, and dear friends 1 mean,
Where else on earth's green round,
In city, town or mart, And you
Such open doors and wide
For good and doing good,
As on that farm of mine Is found?
That farm of mine, no matter where
Whether on sides of two converging hills,
Ur nestling in some quiet yalo
Where rippling brooks forever run,
Or beside tbe stronger flowing stream,
Like your own fair Fishing creek;
Pure mountain stream!
Out from 'neath mountain side
In streams perpetual doth pour
Like arterial currents down,
Through valleys fair and scenery grand,
1 111 mingling with the stronger flood
Of Susquehanna's widening current,
Through valleys rich and fertile,
Till at last with ocean wave
Finds rest. That farm of mine
May bo close nestled
'Neath the haso of mountain,
Where beast so wild did roam,
And savago men uncivilized
Their wigwams mado. But no'w,
The homes ol men are here;
Friends hither cimcj green woods
Into fertile fields were made.
That farm of mine, wbcro shall It be?
Friends, Chairman kind, please let
That farm of mine, for now,
Located bo just here.
Ju9t here, where Frlendshin,
Love and Truth, Angelic guests,
I trust are ever found.

Washington Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph )
President Harrison is a physiogno
mist. He has great oonndenco in his
ability to read character through tbo
expressions of tho human face. Thero
is a fascination for him in the pursuit
of this theoretical science. Hu has an
abundant opportunity just now to
gratify this fancy. White tho throne
of eager otllce-eceker press upon him
and pour thoir arguments into his ear,
fondly hoping to convince tho court by
nn ex parte statement of their cases,
the President is carefully reading their
oouutenanccs. In this way bo forms
an idea of tho men ho has to deal
wiib, and at the same time amuses
himself. Now and thon when a face
especially interests him, he will detain
its possessor for a moment and betray
him in a variety of expressions by
cross-questioning in a manner to put
(he man off bis guard or disturb him

wuu emotions,
Mr. Harrison has bcon a Senator
himself aud knows how it is with thorn
In this matter of indorsement. He
knows how they are cajoled Or coerced
into recommending parties for appoint
ment of whom tbey know little or havo
little confidence in. Ho consults tho
Congressmen of his party, but has al
most as much confidence in his own
judgment of human nature as in their
recommendations. When he has stud
ied a man's face and cross questioned
him, if tbe impression is not favorable
it would take a cood deal of argument
and very strong infiuenco to make him
think favorably of tho man for ap
pointment. I know of a man now in
Washington who is being recommend
ed in tho strongest possiblo mnauer for
a certain very important appointment.
While no may ba Butted lor tho posi
tion there is somcthing in his fauo and
manner that is tbo reverse ot that ot
the ideal man for this office of dignity.
Une of bis prominent supporters,
who is a very astute gentleman, was
quick to recognize that his friend
would not mako a good impression up
on the physiognomist at tho Whito
House. Ho intimated as much to the

hough ho has bcon here sinco March 4,

Harrison is
an accomplished cross-examiner, iio
acquired this at tho bar, and has quite
a reputation in tho Indiana courts for
the sharpness of his questions. What
ho can t make out of tbo candidate s
face he endeavors to learn by cross-
questioning his backers, when a Sen
ator or member goes to recommend tho
appointmont of a constituent to somo
office, Mr. Harrison's first aim is to
ascertain by carefully put questions
whether or not tho Senitor or member
is very anxious about tno matter.
Satisfied as to this ho proceedi to dis
cover his motive in asking the appoint
ment and whethor he really knows tho

questioning.

The following statement of J. A.
Bailey, of tho firm of Barnum & Bail
ey, the groat circus owners, appears in
tno current number ot tbo Jspocu
The amount of money invested in a
largo circus like ours, and the daily ex
penses are something enormous. Bar
num & Bailey's United Shows repre
sent an invested capital ot isa.uoo.ouo,
and the expenses aggregate sb,HUU a
day. A bill was recently introduced
in the Connecticut Legislature to im
pose a tax on circuses one in (he na
ture of an income tax. It nv y t.ur
prise tbe publio (as it did the Sutons of
the Nutmeg State, to whom wo pre
sented our books), to learn that wo
make only three cents' profit on each
tickot we sell during the season. Our
treasurer has made a sworn statement
of this faot; our profit is small but it
comes from Immense numbers. All
the expenses of the show are included
in tlm 6,800; our advertising costs us
nearly as much as tho show itself; our
bills for lithograph printing alone tor
the season will amount to 3izo,uuu.
The smaller programmes aro printed
by tho million and scattered broadcast
in every towD wo visit. Tho salaries
of performors range from 820 to S250
a wot-k; the riders aud I he icnai per
formers receive the highest pay. After
each show the receipts aro counted by
the treasurer, whose acoount is balanc
ed within half an hour after the per
formance, our treasurer nnd our book
keeper being exceptionally quick ct
their work. As our business is for
cash, there is uot much difficulty in
keeping tho accounts. Kvory day is a
salary day; the musicians are pa d one
day, the workmen another, borne per
formers get their salary ono day and
others on another day. Th're aro
nearly seven hundred people connected
with tbe show, une item ot txpenBO
which amounts to Sr)0 a day is tho sys
tem by which our p itrons are protect
ed from p'okpockets and improper
characters. Wo have in charge of a
captain four Pinkerton detectives, who
aro on tho lookout for suspicious charact
ers of all sorts; tboy prohibit gambling
ou tbo streots and work in connection
with the officers of tho town as far as
possible.
"Tho proprietors of a great circus
calculate beforehand its popularity
from the business or money-making
point of view. Tho number of cities
and towns that wo visit during a sea

had in the past years aud whether or
not it is a railroad centro to whioh

"Tho people of a country town will

any local celebration could possibly
