FARMfRS AND BOOKS

WITH A FILL LINE Of FEED, HAY AND GRAIN
The farmers are not much to be blamed
for not taking more Interest in books, for
there has been and is yet so much in the
books that is derogatory of farm life and
country people that it is not to be won
dered at that they do not relish them.
Take the literature of the United States
for the past century and but little will be
found therein that does not leave the im
pression upon the readers that as a class
our farmers are rude In their manners,
dull m mind, and stationary in thaii
habits, clinging to the ideas and practices
of their forefathers, and resentful toward
all propositions to grasp new ideas or em
ploy new methods. The biographers of
of most of our great men to illustrate
their wonderful capacity to overcome
obstacles in tiieir wayamphasize the fact
that they were farmer boys and therefore
nothing but remarkable talent could have
'ifted them from the lowest stratum of
our population to the position they reached.
The impression that any reader of Amer
ican history and other literature get from
them is that to be born on an American
farm is an inexpressable misfortune, and
that tne influence of American farm life
is a handicap to all generous emotions and
efforts to better the condition of human
life, and make the world better and life
pleasanter than it was in the classic days
of Rome. Greece and Egypt.
It should surprise no one that spirted
farm boys and girls after reading the
books that are within reach either
resolves to quit the farm, or throws down
the books with a resentful feeling of dis
gust. When a young farmer reviews the
growth and wonderful development of the
United States In the eaitury just pass.d,
and tattts an inventory Of the causes
lh.at have produced them he is a dullard
indeed if he does not And the greatest
force and elevating cause has been the
intelligence and labor of the American
farming class. Seeing this and then feel
ing that the class that has done so much
for the upliftlnf of humanity every where
and for making this the greatest nation of
Its tge the world has evet1 produced, is
habitually made the butt of the literature
presented to him to read by the book
makers of the cities, it is an evidence of
his or her intrinsic greatness of soul that
he or she refuses to read such libels, and
looks with disgust upon the so called high
art and culture that produced such sland
erous trash.

of the lack of organization among the rev-
