The tragedy of tbe farm so clearly presented in tbis coiumn in last is- sue by "A Female of tbe Species" made on aur mind a distinct im- pression. Cauld every 100-acre farmstead in Durbam and Ontario Counties andi athers thruout this Province present as clcarly the ist- ary of every farm from pioneer days ta the present, %ve fear, many trage- dies just as tbrilling, heart-touching and impressive would be as tbrillingiy told ta the world. Every sucb bomne from eariiest times bas a istory, if it only couid be written o n facts that would make an intensely inter- esting and wide eye-apening narra-1 tive. But tbe generations concern- ed bave passed beyond ti7e and sense hence sucb histories will not be writt-en. But nevertheless there Iare enougb wbat we may cali present-; day narratives ta make about rnanyî nid bornes rnast paInful accounts if1 recorded like tbe borne scenes report-. ed last week. Here is a picture nat uncornmon we fancy: It is told of an aid couple, wbo on the year of tbeir marriage settled on a f arrn, tbeir first borne, to, was a log cabin buiit at tbe foot of a bihl by a iiowing spring oi crystai clear water. As the early settiersi used ta do their first crops were sawn and planted amang the stumps of tbe newly cleared land fenced witb brusb and rails. The nearest vil- lage contained one stre-tbey were general stores in tbe pioneer days- a smitby, Post office and a few houses. After some years of pion- eering experience a farm bouse was built on the brow of a hill averlook- ing the gently roiling fields. From the kitchen door one looked acrass a garden ta a young archard. Tbis farrner was a lover ai trees so had retained a gond sized virgin forest and saved from the axe sorne mai os- tic trees on other parts of tbe farrn. The bouse, ton, was sheltered by a number of sturdy giants of the for- est, sucb as mnay be seen on many a farm in aur own day whicb afford good sbade for the live stock.
