Many OF The systems Of fifty years ago are
no more applicable TO the demands Of to

opposition freight line across the plains.
The farmer who reads much, and reads
that much with care, Is the one who stands

than study OF the composition OF soils
aud the properties that are drawn from
them By certain grains. Al tins cannot be

This desired study does not depend upon
