four years ago, and says in the Boston

the last democratic administration more
than 100 republican ohcgholdars in Yer

and Postmaster General Villas. When
Grover Cleveland surrendered the preSdon-

for Farmers.

The Tenth Lecture in the winter Course
for Farmers.
The tenth lecture in the winter course for
farmers was delivered at the experiment
station Friday afternoon when Prof I.
p. Roberts, director of the Cornell expert
mcnt station, spoke ON EARN Manurcs"
The problem with the farmer is how we can
take from the soil products for the support
of man and beast and he able to return to
the soil the ingredients which will produce
that fertility necessary for the production
of crops. Beginning with the soil
we find that it must have sun,
air, water, fertility and culture.
Next we come to the plant which must have
heat, light air, water, food and training.
But there are certain parts of the plant that
cannot be used by man and it is at this point
that the animal comes TO our assistance in
transforming these parts into something that
men can use The animal in turn needs
heat, light, air, water, food and training.
Man has energy. substance ami culture or
training But these elements cannot be Sc
cured except rs we go back to the soil. 1t
is for this reason that the subject of fertility
of the soil is an all important one to city
people as well rs those in the country. The
