greed of gain in the adulteration of the nourishment of his body.
 My subject is scientific farming; but scientific farming is very closely allied to scientific living. It is marvellous how everything that lives in this world is re- lated to the soil. We are only one step removed from the ground. "All flesh is grass" and the grass grows from the earth. As physical beings we are part of nature. We are in 8 most literal sense ''of the earth, earthly" Our life in this world is dependent upon the pro ducts of the soil. The original home of man was in garden. To till it was his work, to live of his products was his strength and happiness. To multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the world is the perfection and glory of manhood. While God is the Father of the spirits of all flesh, we may we'll say that the earth is the Mother of our bodies and the nourish- CT and preserver of our physical life. The food of man is the fruit of the ground. The strength and vigor and joy of the animal life depend upon the abundance and perfection of the harvest. So intimately are we related to nature through our material bodies that accord ing to ancient philosophy and modern science: ''A man is that which he has eaten" To be we'll fed and nouriehed is I of fundamental importance to all true and abiding success in this world. The quality of work man can do depends in no small degree upon the supply and quality of the food he eats.
 HEART, BRAIN AND HAND,
 intellect. imagination and con- science, all enterprise and
 progress-the manifestation of all life in this world depends upon the cultivation of the soil of the earth and the condi-
 tions of the animal life. Sanitary sci ence is doing much to relieve the world of disease and misery. The most skill
 ful physician does not give drugs any
 more, but advises the patient how to
 feed himself. It is claimed by some that
 the criminal and dependent classes are
 largely those who have not been well
 fed, cared for and disciplined. In other
 words scientific feeding and grooming go great way toward making saint
 or sinner. Science helps materially to demonstrate what is the normal condi- tion of the moral life. Who can say that we may not in time be able to make a perfect man by scientific feeding? It has recently been shown that cows milk without some modification is not suitable food for infants. It is well
 known that some mothers milk is not good food for their own offspring, and cows milk is now modified under the treatment of the scientific physician to
 meet the different cases.
 \ : When was 8 boy it was considered almost an insult among farmers to be offered skim milk to eat, but Prof c. s. Phelps of Storrs' college is quoted as saying that: ssThe best use of skim milk, is in food for the human family. 1t con- tains caseine, sugar of milk, albuman, and Is wholesome food especially for children and for working people.o
 Where the effects of the science of living will end we cannot tell. We have harnessed the most subtle and myster- ious force in nature, which few years ago we knew only as lightning in the clouds we have hitched it to the car of modern progress 1t transports us; lights and warms us; cooks our food and heals us; carries our messages and last of all, and perhaps not least, is used to
