"A cooperative degree was established

Vslopment. The first effort Of humanity,
including not only those Of infancy, but
those Of the adult, in mans lowest stage
of development are put forth through
the operation of a faculty known as In.
stinct, and is practically labor without
thought on the part Of the individual
putting forth the effort. In another
stage Of development, the initiative
faculty furnishes inspiration to activity.
On these two faculties, it must be said,
though said with shame, the greater
part Of humanity depends to-day for
promptings to activity. This may seem
9 rash assertion. To be convinced Of its
accuracy, however, we need but to re-
feet on the thousands who are prompted
to blind efforts by the cravings Of hun
ger that might have been provided
against by intelligently directed efforts
opportunely put forth on the one hand,
and on the almost universal dependence
on precsdents by our so-cslled courts Of
justice on the other.
A higher faculty is that Of originality.
This faculty, when exercised, brings the
individual into a field Of operation
where he knows for himself the main
spring Of his activities, for he himself
creates it. There is no calling wherein
success depends more largely on the use
Of this faculty, nor where greater re-
wards await it's utmost exercise, than
does farming. Farming is also well cal
culRted to call out an exercise Of this
faculty, and does 80, more or less, every
where. This is shown by the greater
facility with which boy brought up on
q farm Rdspts himself to changed condi.
tions and applies himself to the duties Of
any position that calls for the exercise Of
human activities. The exercise Of this
faculty calls for investigation, for study
and reflection. The best results Of labor
on q farm usually come from well-di'
rected efforts, and we'll directed efforts
are the result of study and contempls-
tion.
A criticism that We may Justly pass
upon ourselves is that the farmers study
as farmer is usually such az is forced
upon him rather than q result Of an
earnest desire to obtain knowledge to
serve as q factor Of success in his calling
and the advancement, In honor and
dignity, OF the same. Some operations
of the farm are well calculated to fur.
