Mrs. DR.. Hollister received recently

from her friend, Mrs. Geo. Robinson, Of
Chicago, lovely oil painting, the design
being a boquet of flowers, mostly roses,
upon PLAGUE of white velvet. 1t is a
lovely piece of artistic merit, and plainly
shows the touch of master hand. Mrs.
Robinson's friends in this city have be-
slowed many compliments upon this gem
in oil, for the beauty of the painting
and for the skill and fine touch of the
artist.
"A boating party, consisting of the
families of Hiram Smith, John Fisher,
Lyman Baird, R. O. Hall, F. A. Engle
and A. H. Loucks, went up the Cedar
river last Friday, and campcd at the big
spring on the land formerly owned by
Mrs. W. A. Crane. They abandoned them
selves to the enjoyments OF the occasion,
and ate and boated, ate and fished, ate
and swung, and finally made their way
back at night in time for good dose of
'balmy natures sweet restorer, sleep.
"A. A. HARDWOOD, formerly postmaster
in Austin, and editor of the TRANSCRIPT,
and who has held clerkship in Wash
ington for the past four years is in very
feeble health, and has been obliged to
resign his position. He is under the best
Of medical care. We are very sorry to
hear so unfavorable report from Mr..
HARDWOOD. and think he had better try the
Iinvigorating atmosphere of his old Min
| nes0ta home for his health. His Austin
friends will give him a good old-fashioned
welcome.
&C. E. Marvin, President of the Min
nesota Butter and Cheese Association
last year, and proprietor of the Crescent
Creamery Rochester, has recently been
appointed General Superintendent of the
Dairy Exhibits at the Worlds Exposition
at New Orleans. This appointment is a
deserved honor to a Minnesotian, who is
in every way qualified to fill the position
with credit to the dairy interests of the
United States. Elsewhere we publish a
circular address '"To the People of Min
ncsota" by Gov. Hubbard, which should
be generally read.
DIR. and Mrs. Clemmer, of Cresco,
arrived in Austin last Thursday, remain
ing over until Saturday, and were the
guests of G. A. Pooler. The DR.. enjoys
fishing about as we'll as any other live
man, and is never more in his element
than when toting about fish line with a
good pickerel on the end of it. The
lovely Cedar is always temptation to
him when in Austin; and Friday he ''took
in its privileges, and at the same time
took in" a string of fish. Come often,
Dr., fish are plenty, and Austin always
extends hearty welcome.
Jacob Richard Hickok, of the town
of Lyle, met his death Saturday morning
in a sudden manner. He left home in his
buggy in search of a man to assist him in
his farm work. Shortly after he was
found dead, his body hanging out of the
buggy and held by one foot in the foot
rest. 1t is supposed he was taken in a fit
and fell out, and was dragged about a
mile. Mr.. Hickok was born at Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, January Is, 1921, moved
to Wisconsin in 1856, and came to Lyle in
February, 1884. He leaves one son,
Thomas F. Hickok. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. w. E. Stanley at
Enterprise school house, Sunday after
noon.

Education for the Farm.

When we consider tho immense num-
per that belong TO the agricultural class
In this country and the fact that three
fourths OF oil our exports are agrlcult-
ural products, and that our prosperity
as u nation Is 80 intimately connected
with lts agriculture, II Is surprising that
no better system has been devised for
the education Of this grent olass-the
very foundation OF our national wealth.
The farmers occupation leads TO
regular habits and steady industry; but
unlike those engaged in mechanical and
mercantile pursuits, who aro mostly
located In towns, and are brought into
close business and social relations, the
farmers are scattered over tho country,
and have little daily intercourse with
each other, They do not have the adj
vantage of the friction Of society, In
which new ideas arc suggested and de-
velOped by association, This Is, no
doubt, the reason why the farming class
IL so conservative 80 prone TO follow
traditional routine and TO resist all in
noyatlons,
The inortness Of the agricultural class
Is plainly shown In this, that they sol
dom or never make any Improvement
In their processes or modes OF culture.
OF all the great abOr-saylng machinery
introduced into agriculture during tho
last forty years, not two per cent. oil II
has been Invented by those raised aud
engaged upon the farm, but has boon
invented and adapted TO It's work by
amateur farmers, or by outsiders who
have observed tho need Of such helps In
farm operations,
The farmer therefore, sorely needs
some stlmulant 10 caule him 10 use his
brain as woll rs his hands, llo should
understand the principles that mdGrllo
his practice, llo ought 10 bv IN ac-
curato observer, and this would mako
him u dscoyorcr, lie should cNpcr-
ment, and carefully note and compare
experiments. But, instead of this, very
few farmers think there are any fixed
principles In agriculture, They regard
the whole business ~ quito independent
Of rules, and In no way TO bo brought
into bIoction 10 order and reasonable
certainty. This Is why there Is so little
definitely settled In agricultural plao-
tlce. Yet wo know that agriculture ID
~ capable OF icing reduced to system
aud order and ~ capable OF being
taught rs other applications OF tho
natural SO ccnccs,
All will admit that farmers sons
should bo taught, at least, tho rudi-
ments Of the sciences that undcrlIc

tiGc education beginP There Is really
