People who know everything already
ought to die at once. There is no longer
any coca sion for them to stay in this world,

gentleman whose head was iuil Of practical
agricultural knowledge offered to lectui .
free to farmers in different parts of the
country. Ha would go from place to p, ace,
pay his own expenses, and all the rustics
had to do was to come and hAsr bin. He
had q plsa-sat, entertaining way o a.king,

FARM zGARDIEN
Four Thousand Dollar House.


This week we give the HON. Of the farmer
who has follow ed his occupation scientifically,
till he has become well Off. He has studied
books and pa"er' on agriculture. He has
acted on Their Twice, and above all followed
the bidding OF his own common sense and
'gumption," till now he is comfortable for
life. But he does not hoard his money, or
put it out at usurer's interest, He spends
1t on his farm and family, getting returns a
hundred fold For one thing, he has built
the home you see here. The modern house
is usually planned in the shape of partial
or entire cross. 1t is built Of wood or brick,
as one CHOOSES, or it may be plastered in
panels upon the outside, in the new fashion.
Or it may he covered with trimmed shingling
all over the outside of the walls, which is
ornamental, but rather expenSiv The
porch is in front, with bay wind wv at the
side. Where possible, the bay window
should look towards the south and east.
Then it can he converted into window gar.
den that will make the interior look like a
slice of paradise. A simple system of water
piping, heated by Kerosene lamp will
keep this window garden warm in winter.

culture. The young people are too fond OF
amsemen,s to attend lectures OF ella SCI
which require any mental effort"
One pers IN to whom the proposition OF a
scientific lecture was preached, went so fal
as to reply: If don't know how to farm
don't want man to learn me. What / dc

There you have it. What l don t knew
