"BACK TO
THE FARM
X. The Farm as a Place to
Grow Old.
i&y C. V. GHEOOHY.
(Copyright, 1910. t.y Aim-rlcnn Press Anno-
steUon.1
IT used to tie the a nihil inn of tin'
farmer to make money enough so
that bo CeOld afford to move to
town and spend the rest of hi
days In comfort. Now It Is Hie nm
bltlon of the city dweller to gOSgBSSJ
late enough of this world's goods to
enable him to purchase n little pines
In the country and grow old In th
open air.
This Change la typical of the change.
In sentiment that has taken place In
regard to country life. This chnngo In
sentiment Is due In a large measure
to it change In country life Itself.
At first country life wns essentially
the life of tho pioneer. It was n llfs
A nKTIRKD FAHMEII FKRDINO HIS I'lOS.
of hardships, and the reward was only
a few of life's necessities. But these
hardships developed a class of hardy,
virile men who have conquered the
American continent and brought It nu
der man's control.
The days of pioneering on the farm
are well til, h past. Now that the rough
edges are worn off the true pleasure
of life in the open Is beginning to b
appreciated, .xt first people crowded
together til the cities for protection,
later for convenience In transacting
business The city never was intend
ed primarily as n place to live. In the
early days the CUIOS were deserted as
soou as the danger which had forced
the people together was over. They
scattered out to their farms, where
they could live in peace and plenty,
XX'hen tlie development of the city
ns n business center began no particu
lar provision was made for the home
life. People lived where they could,
existing for their business rather than
making their business exist for them.
In nil the years in which the cities of
the United States have been develop
ing the home life always has lagged
behind Time, some of the men who
were most successful In accumulating
wealth hunt palatial homes. But
there Is no room In the city for many
such homes. Bather must people live
tiered one nbove another, layer upon
lnyer. On all sides, above and below,
the space In which they are free to
move at will Is marked by strictly de
fined limits. No wonder that In such
clrcumstnnees man has longed for a
fourth dimension In which be could
expand.
People have endured these conditions
because it paid them to do so. Busi
ness fed and clothed them, but busi
ness demanded that they bS always
close at band. They knew that some
where outside the web of paved streets
lay an open country, but they knew of
no way in which they could make a
living there. The stories they heard
from the country were stories of oor
ly paid toll, few pleasures and a im
mature old age. They preferred the
discomforts to which they were accus
tensed.
The coming of electric transportation
widened the horizon of the city. It
made It possible for the best paid la
borers to have houses of their own. It
sllowed the salaried man, who put in
fewer hours, to live almost In the
country With a glimpse of suburban
aud country life and what It really
meant to have plenty of room to
breathe, the city dweller began to cher
ish an ambition. He began to long for
an acre of hi own, with a garden and
a few berries and some chicken
where be could rest and grow old.
The advance In the price of food
products made It not only possible,
but comparatively easy, for the man
who has given the best years of his
life to the city to retire to the coun
try Perhaps I should not use the
word retire. The swirling rush of
twentieth century life has made the
thought of retiring distasteful. The
ambitious man lets go his work with
reluctance, lie would rather die In
the harness than to rust away his re
maining days in Idleness But there
comes a time when the strongest man
feels his grip weaken and his mind
falter. The bard knocks of a strenu
ous life begin to make themselves
felt. The long hours grow weary on
bis shoulders. Some men ate situated
so fortunately that tbey can let go by
degrees, working as they feel like It
and turning over to others the tasks
of which tbey tire. Most men. how
ever, must continue to meet the exact
Ing demands of bnstness to the far
thest notch or drop out entirely. It Is

to them that the country makes Its
strongest appeal.
A house and an acre or more of land
enn be purchased or rented more
cheaply than a house and lot In the
city. The home can be supplied with
all the conveniences that the family
Were used to In the city The trolley
and the tSfepboUC keep them In touch
with their city friends. The city man
who Is (last the days of the hard work
demanded in a mercantile establish
ment or n factory can still make n fair
living from the noil. The returns from
an even ncre or so of ground will go
fnr toward paying the family's living
expenses.
The pleasure of life In the open,
where the air Is pure and there Is
time to dream ami room to be happy,
will add years to the lives of the
new made farmer ami his wife. The
freedom from responsibility calls back
the light heart sdness of youth. Tin
tyranny of olllce hours Is done nway
with. The luxury of Independence If
attained.
No Blgn of the return to the country
la more encouraging than the tendency
of the old farmers and their wives to
spend the remainder of their days In
the country. Some of the old farmers
who more to town to end their days
are satisfied perhaps, but most of
them are not. The enforced Idleness
galls them. The narrow boundaries
of a city lot stifle them. Tbey miss
their old friends and associates
The home farm Is a much better
place than the city for the farmer to
spend his declining years for many
reasons. It Is borne to him. aud a
thousand pleasant memories cling
around every knoll and tree lie nm
turn over to one of the boys the active
work of managing (be farm and still
have most of the pleasure of farming
without the responsibility, it may
mean the construction of another
house perhaps, list the expense will
be less than the cost of a house In
the city. There are always little tusks
to he done when he feels like work,
yet he can tilt when he feels like
quitting. When he Is not In a mood
to work there are always neighbors
to visit. XVlib bis automobile or his
horse aud buggy lie and bis wife CSS
go when- and when they please. Thus
the days pass pleasantly and smooth
ly, without a ripple of discontent or
the strain of getting used to a new
environment. The pussiug years leave
few marks on either the fanner or his
wife, for this sort of life is not cal
culated to encourage the advance of
old age.
From the standpoint of tbe nun
ulty tbe retired farmers are a valua
ble asset. A number of such families
in the community give pernianeucy to
Its social life. With little else to do
and plenty of time to do It in the
farmer and bis wife can go ahead
with the management of the club or
grange. They can devise picnics aud
suppers and go ahead with lecture
courses aud celebratlotis.
These things are of Incalculable
i' meM to any community, aud yet too
often the young farmers are too busy
to look after all the details connected
with them
In looking after the business affairs
of tbe townsnlp aud county and state
tbe farmer who is out of active busi
ness finds an outlet for his surplus
energies. Township offices are by no
means lucrative. Yet It Is essential
for the good of tbe community that
tbey be Ailed by men who will take
time to see that the township affairs
are properly conducted. A farmer who
no longer has a business of his own
to demand bis best attention is ust
tbe man for such a place.
Tbe county supervisors have charge
of a great amount of business. Upon
tbe efficiency of their work depends
the condition of tbe roads aud bridges.
Tbe management of a couuty Is no
small job, yet It Is too often Intrusted
to some office seeking politician be
cause there is uo one else who has
time for the place. Here Is another
opportunity for tbe retired farmer
