VARIED EDUCATION FOR FARMERS.
II any man requires full and vari-

other business can Il be more safely said
than Of farming that Il demands all OF q
mans ability and energy and time.

sight! The farmer must have knowl-
edge Of biology and chemistry II he
fertlllxes or cultlvstes his fields Intel
llgently or feeds his animals judiciously.
lie must be familiar with geology, that
he may know how soils are formed, and
with physiology that he may know how

every hours operation requires knowl-
edge of physics. The growth OF plants
and animals, the manlpulations OF soils
and manures, the feeding Of crops and
live stock, the construction Of buildings
aud fences, the drainage Of land, the
operation Of machinery and a hundred
other things that the farmer must do,

for all his ability aud all his labor; and
he will make more money by giving all

lie may not make more money by giving
all to his farm than by giving IL to some
thing else; but remember that there
are other objects In life, or should be,
besides the acquisition Of money. No
other man can breathe rs pure air, can
drink as wholesome water, can eat rs
fresh fruits and vegetables, can enjoy rs

Farming offers 80 much that the COM

''drcssers." The European manager em.
ploys about half dozen dressers who
act as body servants OF the leading actors
In his company and reregular employees
of the house, like gas men, cleaners and
scene shifters. The American actor,
however, dresses himself or else hires o
man to assist him. When he does hire o

"doing" small parts and Is glad OF the
chance to increase his tl0 wages by y

The dresser has not only to assist In
changing his masters costume, Q per
Torrance requiring great expedition, but
makes repairs, folds and puts away the
clothing, packs and unpacks the trunks
and sees that the dressing table Is sup
piled with paints, wigs, combs and other
needful articles. In the European thea
ters the dresser seldom or never acts,
though he Is often an actor who has been
forced of from the stage by illness,
