With some producers the fall of 
leaf isa time of relaxation. During 
autumn men as well as trees and 
plants.should have a rest after the 
labors of producing and sustaining 
their season’s crop of leaves, 
flowers, and fruit. While the trees 
and plant demand it, and no one 
can deny them their rest, man is a 
free agent, and can do as he likes. 
At least some men think they can, 
but in point of fact no man can do 
as he likes, unless it happens that 
what he likes is what is right. 
Ruskin puts this very finely with 
his old trueism, which reads that a 
man is what he likes. Or to put it 
in his own words, ‘‘tell me what 
you like, and I'll tell you what you 
are.’’ Well, now, if a man likes 
to be resting idly at the present fall 
of the year, while trees and plants 
are resting, he may be satisfied 
with himself, but his ground is 
crying out with the burden of 
weeds that are growing and the 
dead leaves that are accumulating 
and harboring all kinds of pests. 
Leaf mould.is good for trees, and 
so is the humus of green weeds. 
But they will not plough or dig 
themselves in, so the farmer, or 
gardener, or orchardist has to keep 
going. Not only in putting the 
property in trim, for there are lots 
of people in cities who are asking 
for vegetables. and fruits, sSome- 
body has to supply them, and who 
can do it but the producer. So we 
see that he has no idle time to 
rest, always going always plenty 
todo. He is the happy man who 
so regulates his work that it is a

Work seems to be a wise provision 
of nature to keep a man bright and 
happy. No truer saying is there 
in the whole scope of literature 
than that ‘‘Satan finds some inis- 
chief still for idle hands to do.’’ 
It is only an old nursery rhyme, 
but it would be a good thing for 
the world if the idle population of 
the world could have been kept in 
the nursery and never let out of it. 
They are not fit for any other 
position in life—simply overgrown

supplies. 
The producer is never, or cannot 
afford tovbe, an idle man, nor does 
he seem to need the rest that comes 
to his trees and plants. In point 
of fact, if he were to work night 
and day, as the trees do while they 
are working, his rest would be so 
long that he might say a happy 
farewell and go to a better world 
than this.
