THUKSD VY', SEPTEMBER 23, 1902.
A farmer doesn't have to solicit
patronage from anyone, remarks
an exchange. He does not have to
nter into competition and strife
with any of his neighbors like a
merchant. He doesn't have to de
pend on his collections relaetantly
die 1 out as the editors do. In
iua he can be the most indepen
dent man on God's green earth if
he manages his business in a busi
ness way. He has more time an !
opportunity for cultivating his.
ir.in 1. He has fewer allurements
for corrurtinz his morals and his
o.'oupation is more
conducive to '
th highest development oi
p'.yji-ml pciwer than any other.

Qrowth of the West.
"There has been a great growth
in the public land business the
jjaft year," said Mr. Collins to the
.Helena Independent reporter.
"For the fiscal year ending June
'10 last, if my recollection serves
tne correctly, there were P.OOO.fXK)
icres taken up under the home
tead law, exceeding any previovs
vear by 2,000.000 acres. The
growth has been in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast states,
showing where the people are mov
ing. In the West and Middle
West the land office business is
growing smaller each year, because
the lands have been taken up, and
t ne people must come to the Rocky
Mountain country and io the Pac
ific caast for free homes. The uext
"ew years are going to witness a
jjreat settlement of the lands in this
ountry.
Boy on the Farm.
If the young men of the farm
who have a desire to "go to town"
vould induce their dads to keep
few pure bred, properly kept
sheep or hogs and treed ar.hnr.lsj
"btter than anybody.'" they would j
stav at home and show these to j
neighbors and acquire a greater j
pride for the stock farm than j
possessed by the average bov, We
m-t a man not lone azo who had
j jm paio. paid tioj ur a purr-.Ttx.
cow to gratify a son's desire for the i
foundatien of a herd o: cattle. That !
boy could not I driven to town ly j
any means. lie will shortly com
plete the country schoo 1 eeur-c
when he will take a business course
and two winter courses in the Fur-;
due School of Agriculture. He will j
be heard of before many year? as a ;
breeder of Ar.srus cattle. The fault
is often with the parents if the boy
goes to town. The- country is th-.ir
n uural plae, and sooner or lau-r
they will have a longing for coun
try life. Look npou the pages of
history and it is ascertained that
great men in all ages have gone
back to the fie'd, orchard and gar
den when their public careers have
ended. Washington prer'erreJ his
farm to the presidency. Patrick I
Henrv declined the chief justice-:
ship and the position of secretaiy
of state that he might enjoy the
rural delights of his home. It has
ever been regarded as the mot
honorable vocation for men. Cyrus
surprised Lysanker by presentir g
fruit from trees of his ownplar.tir.c
and the result of soil culture. Still
it is sometimes full of hardship and
has its privations. So does every

The Naminj of Farm Homes.
The sudden development of the
rural dt'ivery of mail, and the
rapid growth of ir.ter-urban line?
electric railway, make pertinent
a fresh consideration of the ouvs-
tion
The
of naming the farm homes,
question that continually
comes up from mail delivery an,1,
car service is. How shall the
of? It must either be
the name of tlie
,

We all know the absurdities. o'id that final hearing will be held at 10
addresses, of nicknames such a, ' ".IL 9'l '',
Tnclfe Liliv;
"Old Man Haver-
straw's" - Widow PlunkettV'-we ;
have heard them all from child-
u.j t.; i, .
hood. Imagine such names writ -
ten as addresses upon letters or
called out from the platform of the
electric car! We can certainly,
with a little eSort, make a change j
in the matter. !
We are now building for comfort j
and beauty where fifty year? ago '
we built for shelter alone. We are i
planting and rearranging,
and
planning for a settled and prosper
ous future. Would not the choos
ing of suitable names for these
beautiful farm places very prop
erly come in as a part of the
changes? There is more dignity
about ''Cedar Slope" or "South
View" than "Old Man Caspar's
Place" or "Uncle Henry's Ranch."
And the very fact that a name has
been chosen for rhe liome makes it
dearer to those who live there.
Good sense, wit and imagination
should assist at the christening,
What ppecial outward features do. s
the farmnossess? What iamnv
j
name or history shall he perpet
pet-;
ia!l
uated? hat local history eha
be preset ved? A name that came
with the family or its ancestois
across the Atlantic might be the
choice of some. Favorite trets,
natural or planted, the outlook, or
some feature of the landscape, give
much scope for choice. Wbattver
the name, let it be dignified, ex
pressive, appropriate and euphon-'
ious.

the ants and comforts of the pass
