a patient. Formerly when a horse
broke a leg he had to be shot. Now
he can be saved to become as good as
new. The disease called poll evil used
to be deemed almost incurable; now it
is a matter of a few days Or weeks.
the point I wish to make is this
Any young man who takes naturally
to horses and is fairly educated can fit
himself for this profession at less time
and cost than for almost any other. II
he will give his services to some SUR
geon for six months, and a year at col
lege, it will give him q diploma to
practice for himself. Every town Of
5000 people will support a good veter
mary surgeon. A farmers son who
can spare the time and money will
make il all back in a little time. He
need not go to town to get up in BUSH
ness, but horse owner will seek him
out. I know I am safe in saying that
any ten average veterinary surgeons
will take in more money in a year than
any ten average physicians. 1t is a
profession which has it's dignity as we'll
and will be looked up to more and
more in the future"

FARMERS CLUBS.

During these hard, distressing times
it is all important that farmers should
meet often together and discuss mat
tiers of mutual interest. These include
not only farm policies, but all public
policies so far as they bear upon bust
ness interests. Away with the talk
that farmers in their organizations
should not talk politics. Politics Is
business; it largely controls Legislation,
and legislation largely eff 5cts business.
Tariffs and financial la Es have much
to do with the present distr essing D
dition of affairs. Let farmers talk and
inform themselves about these and
other issues, and let them combine on
the proper men to send to Congress
and the legislatures The people must
take these matters in hand. Traders
in money will make a supreme effort
to carry the next election in their
favor. Ofice-holders will exert all
their power to prevent q reduction of
taxes; because reduction of taxes de-
crease of salaries. One can aford to
pay a high tax On his properly if he
gets a good, fat salary to help him pay
