Random Thoughts.
(BY WILL H. HAYES.)
Are farmu- more indifferent tf>
h-ir own interests than an*
ther clat-s? I have been asked
his question often and in view of
ill the fact- before me I am com-
• Hi d to rwwpr that tliev are. I
am a farmer myself and this
condemns me along with others.
There are many wide awake
farmers who are keenly alive t
(heir every intercut but the vast
majority apparently give little
thought to it. They urn content
t■> plant tnrfir crops and till them
after the methods of their fath-
ers, to sow each crop in its sea-
sou ;tnd to sell when the harvest
i< ready, d ing everything in an
indifferent way.
The chief reason for all this, is
lick of cultivation of the brain.
Ic is agreed by all that a failure
to exe'cise anv organ of the body
Iwarfs that organ- Maid phys -
0.1 1 labor tires the body and brings
1,bout a natural desire for relaxa-
tion, for rest. The man who
j yields too niiicn to the tetnpiU'ion
I o reft his mind after labor suot
j grows mentally lazy and n gleets
lis menial growth. The brain
hvarfs until after a tnre if can
•ceome incapacitated for gi a«pin*
s new thought. All p ople who
live by their brain power i e •<, -
>:ze lliis fact borne farmcis.
imwever, do not appear to ha' e
leanio 1 it, ci having ieavne*\ d-.
not care. They become, after
•labile, contented merely to ex-
'St. without any thought of prog-
ress. They are willing to put
enough rhy ical labor int^ tin ir
vork, peihap-, becauset e phys
ieal powers lieve been fully de-
veloped, l ut itiires them to stud*'
>1' to think mI no new I nes.
There v s a farmers institute
held here Sa urday. The railroad
company and t he a^r cultural
iollege sent men skilled in their
«vork to talk tn the farmers abou
the best nnthods in fanning,
rhese men kiitw from much ex •
pei:ence just what they were
talk ug about. There was not a
cent of expense to the farmers.
The liieet.nu was well advertised
through the, prtss and by ciieu-
lars. The day being rather dis-
agreeable lor out door work,
many farmers came to town. Af
ei* getting h.-re they were re-
minded of the meeting anduived
to attend. About twenty were
8uoh lueaa are rapidty giving
way among farmers. Many of
them read the best papers to be
Found, they study agricultural
methods, attend .nstitutes, go to
the Farmers Congress, and if an
opportunity presents, take a short
course at the agricultural college.
I' is thisclasw of faimers who are
making a sucoess of it beyond a
question. Tbey are satisfied with
farm life and are prepared to get
the most out of it. Their chil-
dren also love the woik, because
ili y combine mental and physi-
cal development and are taut l t
ihat farming is the best business
in the world, the most honorable,
tin; most independent und the
most pleas nt. The iarmer who
studies, either owns his home > r
lie finds a way t>> get one at the
earliest, opportun.ty, and he is
not satisfied unle-s he is surround-
ing that home with the means of
making it. for hims< If and hi>
family, the happiest spot on earth.
All hail to the farmer who de-
velops biain and muscle together,
who loves his work, and who de-
lights in every opportunity for
improving tus condition and for
making )aif work more pleasant
and his surroundings more agree-
able. May his tnhe inoiesse un-
til the indiffere it kind is no mote
to be found in biond land.

to get his foot mashed off by a T.

train and at.,emo ed to jump on,
but that be was jerked down aivi
the wheel ran over his foot, so
badly mashing it that, t had to be
amputated. lie is dung very
we:l today, but when he gels well
he will st'll b? it criopln and v ill
probably not jump ori any more

This is the first accident to oc-

'RES5*
The average farmer is too sus-
picious for his own good. If you
approach a banker or a wide-
awake business man on a propo-
sition, he is always ready to listen
to what you have to say,and then
he uses his own judgment as to
whether he will accept or decline
your proposition. He is willing
to organize in any way that will
enlarge his business. The farmer
when approached on such mat-
ters, too often begins to raise ob
jections; to suspect that some
one ia trying to do him. He can
see no good from au institute
because a college man or a rail-
road man comes to talk to him
and tell him how to farm. He
thinks that because he has tilled
the soil filaays, even though he
has never changed his plans one
bit, o/tried new methods, he is a
post graduate and can be taught
nothing. Ao any rate, he will
not go listen to these fellows, and

| section of Texa^.
WHY?
Because only recently have the public at large realized the op-
' portunities which this northwest section of Texas offers. The large
[ ranches are beinir divided into
small stock fatfms.
Wheat, Corn, Cotton, Melons and all kinds of feed s-tnffs are ho-
ling raised in abundance, surparsing the expectations of the most
f sanguine.
I A country abounding in such resources (tried and proven), to-
i getber with the

of lauds, cannot help enjoying a most rapid growth, and that is
2 what is happening in the Pan-Handle.
