Our Folks 
A Time-tried Friend of the R. N.-Y. 
Harris I. Smitli of Tompkins Co., N. 
Y., is ill his seveiity-niuth .v(':ir and is 
cousideri’d to be one of the youngest men 
for his age in that region, where he h:is 
.always lived. Mr. .‘>mith was born on 
the farm where he now lives, and this 
farm was cleared from the “forest 
primeval” by his father, who was a de¬ 
scendant of a prominent family in Eng¬ 
land. 
The productive capacity of the soil 
ha.s been more than dcuibled by his plan 
of soil conservation, wliich included ro¬ 
tations, restoration of humus (no .str;tw 
has ever been .sold from the farm) 
keeping of adeijuate livestock, use of 
commercial fertilizer, and a comprehen¬ 
sive system of tile drainage e.vtending to 
.‘iion to sleep in our barn all night. He 
claimed to be from the fiodd distidet in 
Ark;(ns:is, and having lost “their ail" 
he with his wife ;iiid foui' daughters luid 
come to near Dayton, (>.. to a son who 
was able to care for them, but on ar¬ 
riving found they had movod to :i .sta¬ 
tion in Ashtabul.-i Co., so pawning a gold 
watch, a son-in-law had given him, he 
had enough money to buy ;ill tickets but 
for himself to the sou's new location, 
so ho had start<d to w:ilk through. lie 
claimed four of our neighbors refused 
him night’s lodging, so now it was up 
to us either to s;iy no or yos, but he 
“hoped to Cod we v.ould s.ay yes.” I 
mentioned the fact the I'iqua jieople 
would have had to shelter him, and he 
said “Y’es, but I would not sb-cp in such 
every acre of the home farm As ti resuit 
of drainage alone, the land can be tilled 
from 10 days to two weeks earlier in 
the Spring. With the advent of eom- 
mercial fertilizers he inaugurated ;i series 
of experiments with home-mixed fertil¬ 
izers. This work covered severtil yetirs, 
:tnd resulted in greater yields with con- 
sider:ible economy of aiiplicatiou. lie 
considers that the results are applicable 
only to .soils of a similar nature corres¬ 
ponding to his farm. 
Nearly .a Inilf century ago he married 
Miss Almina Whitney, who with him has 
been :i constant reader of Tin: It N.-Y. 
during that long wedded career. Tlu’ir 
farming has been of a character such 
as would typify people who have re;id 
The H. N.-Y. for a half century and 
more. Although a good mixer, he Las 
left alcohol and tobacco alone, has reg¬ 
ular habit.s of life, has alw:iys worked 
hard, and enlivened his pathway with a 
never-failing fund of Avit and liumoj-. 
When asked by a Kx'Kai, represent'afive’ 
oouceruing liiii. success.. at .^farming, he 
replied with characteristic briskuessj 
•T’ve.been a reader of Tuk 11. N.-Y. for 
.so long that I cannot H’ci>x,ember,..wheyi^ 
I did not read it. I consider it a xveek- 
ly book of rural instruction. It has 
improved greatly during the past 50 
j-ears, and I have tried to study it and in 
a measure keep pace with its teachings.” 
Mr. and Mrs. Smith have three chil¬ 
dren who have taken a four-yejirs’ 
course at Cornell and who are teach¬ 
ing or are engaged in agrieultur;il work. 
You will note that ^Ir. Smitli st;ited 
he “studied” Tuk It. N.-Y. and he is 
gladly numbered among those who at¬ 
tribute a goodly measure of their sue-, 
cess in life to the fact that they put in 
practice some of the teachings of this 
paper. The picture shows him at tlie 
New-Y’ork State Fair at Syracuse, in 
the act of making bis annual invest¬ 
ment fur Tuk It. N.-Y. at its tent.

Despoiling the Good Samaritan 
This is :i warning to the farmer more 
than others in jiartieular, as it is “tried 
on” in the country. 
On June ~, at dusk, we had an old 
man (I refrain calling him a gentle¬ 
man! come tu uur buiu" asking iiemiis- 
:r i>lace. I am iiu tramp; 1 :i:ii clean,” 
thereupon .showing his shirt and under¬ 
wear, which were white as snow. He 
then remarked he would riither sb-ep un¬ 
der a tree tlmu be iu siiuii a place for 
even one night. As be claiimsl to be 7.‘> 
J’ears old, and lookeil it, we told him we 
would keep him, biit gave him a bed. 
During the I’vening he told ns how the 
stoi-rn had come, then the cloudburst, and 
hiiw they were saved by a neighbor; of 
his tine home he, had, of his family and 
many very interesting things that had 
happened, one in particular the caminng 
of !Mrs. Alice l{oose\-ent I.ongsworth and 
her husband with :i jairty of 11 on their 
“They Can’t Take My Honor!" 
lawn, but wound up by saying he only 
wished we knew him well enough to 1ft 
him have money to see him to his desti¬ 
nation ; we would soon get it back :uid 
more. ^Yheu we askcal why he did not 
have it telegraphed from Clark’s ^ttatiou, 
he gave us a reasonable answer. Then 
Ave again asked why he did not ask the 
G. A. It., as he was a soldier, and his 
reidy sounded reasonable :tgahi. 
Upon retiring he insisted on my hus¬ 
band looking at his sore toes, caused by 
his walking. My husband and I talked 
it over, and each felt eo sony for
