| To points of stock is he alive | G |
| As keenest cattle king | H |
| A thoroughbred he deigns to drive | G |
| But not a mongrel thing | H |
| The very bees within his hive | G |
| Are crossed without a sting | H |

| If apple boughs drop pumpkins and | C |
| Tomatoes grow on trees | I |
| It is because his grafting hand | C |
| Has so diverted these | I |

| And wields with sinews strong and hale | L |
| The latest style of hoe | E |

| The household founded as it were | M |
| Upon the Decalogue | E |
| He classes with the minister | M |
| The rural pedagogue | E |
| And as a sort of angel cur | M |
| Regards his spotted dog | E |
| - | |
| His wife reviews the magazines | N |
| His children lead the school | O |
| He tries a thousand new machines | N |
| And keeps his temper cool | O |
| But bristles at Kentucky jeans | N |
| And her impressive mule | O |
| - | |
| With Science letting down the bars | P |
| Enlightening ignorance | Q |
| Enigmas deeper than the stars | P |
| He solves as by a glance | R |
| And raises cinnamon cigars | P |
| From poor tobacco plants | S |
| - | |
| By no decree of fashion dressed | C |
| And busier than Fate | C |
| The student farmer keeps abreast | C |
| With mighty men of state | C |
| And treasures like his Sunday vest | C |
| The motto Educate | C |
| - | |
| Beyond encircling hills of blue | T |
| Where I may never range | U |
| This monarch in his realm I view | T |
| Of title new and strange | U |
| And make profound obeisance to | T |
| The Master of the Grange | U |
