I (tizXj Sak'vft £'■ Bo* PUJC'Kjf Burns? CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY AUGUST 20, 1908. Edgerton's ...Farm. (.Copyright, HAS, by James A. Edgerton. This matter must not be reprinted with out special permission.J A New Style In Agriculture. Farms art; good for other things be sides raising potatoes, corn and cab bages. On American farms we have raised a large crop of presidents. About all of them were country boys except Uoosevclt, and he made up by becoming a cowboy. A farm is also a good place to raise joy, honesty, contentment and the sim ple life. Since 1 acquired a side lull of my own 1 have been not only cul tivating these, but have also grown ii crop of tan, mosquito welts and en thusiasm. Later I plan to raise straw berries, grapes, apples, liens, a mort gage and some goats. I have already harvested a largo yield of anticipation? about what 1 am going to harvest ii; future. The particular piece of real estate •n which I now have the privilege of paying interest and taxes consists ol twelve acres. In consequence I con template a book on "Twelve Acres Enough." The only reason the title will not be "Fifteen Acres Enough" or "Twenty Acres Enough" is because there is not that much land in tills place. I have observed that most men think the world should lie regulated by their own regulating machines and measured by their measuring sticks. There are more sour grape philos ophers in this world than is generally admitted. A whole lot of people are proud of what they haven't got. That Is on a par with folks putting on airs over having had what they didn't want. The most conspicuous case of this on record was an exclusive social set composed of those who had sur vived smallpox. And how those folks did look down on the poor unfortu nates who had not been thus distin guished! They even sniffed at vari oloid victims, it was like a boy who is proud of a stone bruise. There was no wild rush of outsiders, however, who sought to make themselves eligi ble to membership in the smallpox club. To be perfectly frank, 1 do not know how much land is enough for one man, but suppose it is what he can pay for and is satisfied with. Anyway, the question is not up to me, and I refuse to decide it. lam not going to write that book after all. Instead I propose to become author of a work entitled "One's Own Affairs Enough." It is none of my business whether the other fellow owns twelve acres or twelve thousand. This farming proposition is tine. Out here a man can not. only eat his own vegetables, but think his own thoughts. Moreover, he is master of his own time, having no boss except his wife. The only thorn in the llesh is the .New York Central railroad. That is too modern and citilied for a strictly rural effect, besides being too noisy for high thinking. It is as though his Satanic majesty should disturb paradise by making a frequent noise like shoveling coal. This is not much of a farming sec tion, but lias plenty of scenery and history. Every morning I can hear the drums and guns at West Point, where the shoulder strap blossoms and the..' raise crops of men for the harvest of war. Within sigh! three poets wrote—Morris, Willis and Drake —but they are all dead. Ail the great poets are dead. A poet never gets to be great till afler he dies, and some not even then. The Object of Life. What is tin- object of life'.' "Happi ness," says one. "Love," sighs anoth er. "To do good, - ' beams a third. "To gain wealth," pants a fourth. "To achieve fame," shouts a fifth. "To find heaven," breathes a last. Each of these is good when rightly under stood, and each has its place. But there is one thing more. It is to grow, to expand, to climb, to overcome—in a word, evolution, (iod sows his image In each of us, and we grow and evolve until this comes to flower and fruit in the individual character. This is the object of life. It runs through all na ture. It animates the universe. It is the divine law. That which does not progress dies. There is no happiness greater than that of conscious improve ment and unfoldment, than that of be coming stronger, wiser and better. This is the lesson taught us by the growing and blossoming world. Getting the Spirit of the Builders. When I came to the triangular sec tion of rock , stumps, underbrush and American dirt that is now in my wife's name T found on it a house of uncer tain age and still more uncertain floor levels. Ic was assuredly the original of the nursery rhyme: There wns a crooked man That went a crooked mile. I-Ie found a crooked sixpence Against n crooked stile. Tie bought u crooked cat That caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together In a little crooked house. Oh, the dirt we took *mt of that house! There was dirt in the closets, Hr, under the stairs, dirt on the floors, tirf In the cellar, dirt in the attic, dirt on the walls, dirt in the kileheu, dirt in the cupboards, dirt in the outhouses, on the lawns, dirt everywhere', barrels lipfin bam-ls of dirt, all kite's of dirt from mountains ol tin cans to hills of miscellaneous, unclassified, composite and plebeian dirt. T!'>- ii ' \ver; covered with dirt. They were denuded of banisters and ! had boards out of the floors. Tin kitchens and washroom had part of the floors rotted out and were other wise in a discouraged condition. The paper was off the walls, the plastei | was full of holes, the tool's leaked, and everything was as it should not be. | We went to work. We found the leaks in the roof were confined to a | flat portion. Some new roofing paper covered with paint lixed that to perfec tlon. Plenty of soap and water, a Hi tie plaster, two or three kinds of paint and two or three more kinds of wall paper rehabilitated the inside. As for the dirt, it was carted out by flic barrel and burned. All that would not burn was buried. The repairing of that house was .sin: pier than ic looked. It was a trifling matter to renew the broken floors. All the floors were then painted and cov cred with rugs, l'aint on the outside of the little house worked a transfor mation. It made a clean and cool ef fect. The chimneys had bricks out of them like teeth out of an old man's mouth. A little dentistry with bricks fixed all that. Then two cans of chim ney paint made them look as good as new. The placing of banisters about the porches was easy and made a greater change than one could imagine. All the work was done at odd times and was really a delight. As a result of it, for a trifling outlay the "little crooked house" is really a home. What mansion is more? The greatest result of all, however, is not seen in the building or the grounds. It is in the people. Nor does it consist alone in the fact that the Only Woman and myself feel like pat ting ourselves on the backs. The expe rience goes deeper. It is nothing less than that we have learned the spirit of the buiklers. We have caught a glimpse of the life constructive. We have seen some faint glimmer of the glory which belongs to the Eternal Architect as lie erects worlds and clothes them with beauty. From tills transforming viewpoint, even the secondhand wilderness in the up-ended corner of my aspiring farm has a glory of its own. It is filled with the spirit of growth and has been touched by the miracle of life. Nature. I walk hand in hand with Nature By the wooded hills and the streams, Where the sunshine sifts through the narrow rifts Of the leaves and lints my dreams, Where the cooling airs of the mountains A breath of the pines bring down, Where the free heart sings and the soul grows wings. Away from the sweltering town. To thy mothering arms, O Nature, Receive me again, 1 pray. And 1111 my heart with the eld delight 1 knew when a boy at play. Lean over me cool and tender And quiet me with thy calm, My passions <iuell with thy magic spell And heal my wounds with thy balm. For 1 am thy child, <> Nature, Born, nurtured and reared with thee. The rush and heat of the throbbing street To me are an agony. In the crowd of my kind I am lonely, But a voice in my spirit sings A song of glee when 1 dwell with thee And laik with the soul of things. 1 am sick to the death, O nature; I am sick of the sordid strife; I am .sick of tin- greed and the grinding need. The cheats and deceits of life, And 1 mini as a ehild to Its mother To renew my faith again, To regain the good in the solitude I have lost in the haunts of men. | As a man athirst, O Nature, By thy cooling springs I kneel, I And a deep soul draft by my lips is quaffed, A water whose touch will heal. As a man who is weary of doubting From tlie world's unfalth I flee To grasp tliy hand and to understand The Cod that's revealed in thee. "Pat." When .iiniinie, the little boy, came in i one day his sister ran to meet hiui j with the tidings; "Pat is dead," j Then there were tear wet faces, and I after awhile tiie two children trudged j out into the back lot. .liniinie got a i spade, and a little grave was dug. Other children were called, and there was a small funeral procession, after which Pat, who had been their play | mate so long, was laid to rest. Jimiuie fashioned a rude cross with the name cut on it and placed it over the spot. lie reasoned in his childish heart that he who loved little children must; also love tin; animals and till liv- I Ing tilings. Why not? ! For Pat was only a cat. | We use only a fraction of ourselves. ] In our ordinary breathing the larger j part of our lungs is unemployed. We j never call on all our strength, and i most of our brain cells lie dormant. In each of us are unknown levels of energy that are manifested only 111 1110- ' ments of sudden need. We are big j ger. better and stronger than we think, j All we need is ihe faith and will to j call out our own inherent, powers. Make homo life attractive. Are you | aware that there are ten or more | lawn games played In this country? | All these add to sociability, good . health and the spirit to do tilings. A i growing child needs happiness :e j much as a growing plant needs warmth. What we need is more of the sense jof individual responsibility.
