 In so far as the farm is backed by
 unlimited. means, and conducted on
 scientific principles it might be com pared to state agricultural farms. Mir.
 Bryan's managers might*be likened to the professors or scientists who operate the governmental farms. But there the comparison must end, for the work of Riverside is not carried on merely to experiment, but to reach practical results by means of previous scientific investigation or by practical experience manager has but to produce good practical results, and prove himself to have character, in the full meaning of the word, to have his plant enlarged The managers will live in cottages npon the place, and as soon as is desirable the farm will be enlarged.

Each de- oartment is open to any woman who le thinks would make an honest and | rood fight for her independence. Mir Bryan encourages reform costumes for ,he lady managers during working hours. Although a bachelor. Mir | Bryan has given much time to and | written upon the conditions of women IS to labor, and also upon paren thood. Few people comprehend the magni- ,ude of MT.
