RACK TO THE SOIL.
A reader sends in the following,
the wall of a tiller of the soil ::i
'. ichigan, which tells in a few words
w hy so many front th.e eastern states
come to the Rogue River valley
where life is less strenuous:
"At 4 p. m. the farmer feeds his
horses and his sheep. At he drags
the hired man r.eluctant from his
. sleep. At ij the breakfast horn re
sounds o'er valley, hill and field to
call him to the morning meal of
things liis acres yield. And so all day
upon his way the cheerful farmer
plods and agitates with hoe an,) plow
his deeply mortgaged sods. At 10 p.
in. he milks his cows and gathers up
ttie pggs and rubs a quart of liim
nient upou his weary legs. The hon
est fanner's simple life is one of
healthful toil consumed in teasing
things to grow upon unfriendly soil.
The farmer is a happy guy. for when
Uu day is done mere's nothin' more
for him to do until tomorrow's sun."
