While our Agricultural depart
ment in Washington is doing
wonderful work, IL seems some
how to be too remote from the
vast body of. farmers. If every
State had an Agricultural Bureau,
with a subordinate bureau in ev.
cry congressional district, and
later on, a branch department in
every county, there could not fail
to be an awakening and a for
ward impulse in all agricultural
and cognate industries. Such
state departm ents might become
the agencies for the distribution
of circulars and bulletins from
the department at Washington,
and very farmer of the land would
at once be placed within easy
reach of intelligent aid in I'll his
efforts.
Any railroad which has lands
to sell could have no better way
Of calling attention to them than
by operating small farm at some
easily accessible point on those
lands. Such farms, when once
started, would more than defra y
the expenses of their operation.
No phllanthropist could render
his fellow men better service than
to send such men as Mr.. Wallace
when they can be found, into ag-
ricultural regions to lecture to
meetings of farmers and directly
interest them in the higher and
scientific phases of their avoca-
ton. believe such work as these
qualified and practical men could
do, would return a thousand fold
more than it's cost to society, in
increased and better food pro-
ducts. If ten per cent. of the
money expended in political cam
paigns to determine whether a
set of Democratic taX-eaters or
Republican taX-eaters should live
upon their country for the next
two or four years, could be given
to the direct instruction or farm
ers, the results for good would be
incalculable. On every hand we
hear the cry for aid in living W ell
and economically. With better
food, and that in greater abund-
ance, we have the problem of
economical living half solved.

Problem of Better Living.
BY DUANE DOTY.
American Farmer Magazine. Chicago.

American Farmer Magazine. Chicago
For several years the writer
has susteIned such relationship % to
a large community OF working
people, as has enabled him to
make a thorough study of their
modes of living, and he feels full
ly warranted in making what he
deems conservative statement,
to the effect that large majority
OF these people, probably from a
want of knowledge of what is for
their highest good, not only pro
vide themselves with unnecessa-
rily costly food, but have the nu-
trltlve value of their food much
lessened by improper cooking. Is
not the food question, to-day, the
most important one with which
the working man has to deal?
Science can bring him invalua-
BILE assistance. Students of social
science and economics cannot
render civil society so valuable a
service, at this particular junct
ure, as to teach the working man
and his wife how to select and
prepare wholesome and nutritious
food at a much lessened cost to
them than that to which they are
now subject. The aggregate of the
money value of small economies
on the part of an entire popula
ton is something stUpendous. 1t
can be easily shown that at least
fifty dollars year could not only
be saved on the cost of food for
every one Of the fifteen millions
of families of our country, but
that these families at the time.
could be furnished with better
nourisment than they now get.
The whole sum that might be saw
ed on this conservative estimate
would be $750,0OO,OOO. What
would be the results, with such a
sum which might be expended in
books and other means of culture ?
Certainly better and more en-
joyable social life would be one
result. But this particular phase
of the food question must be de-
ferred for future consideration.
Before food can be prepared
for mans consumption it must be
produced, and it is this matter of
production with which we shall
first briefly deal. The observation
of Dean Swift that, "He who
causes two blades of grass to grow
where but one grew before, is
worth more to the world than all
the politicians in it," is an i'm
pressive statement which cannot
be too seriously pondered. A CEN
tury ago the economist Malthus
expressed his conEiction that the
population of the earth would
certainly increase beyond a point
where food could be produced to
support it, and as a consequence,
famine must result. We now
know that Nautilus used incor-
rect data, and that the results he

preceding time. Advancement
along agricultural lines has been
far from keeping pace with that
on mechanical lines. As mechan.
les has largely become applied
mathe matics, 80 must agriculture
In a day not distant, become ap-
piled chemistry. While we must
admit that science is to-day more
than ever before, popularized and
placed within reach of the tillers
OF the soil, We are obliged to ac-
knowledge that most of the farm
work oi our country is still an
unintelligent expenditure Of me-
chanIcai and brute force.
Science is only classified knowl-

of oats 90; buckwheat IA wheat

hay one and a quarter tons to the
acre. Is not this average yield of
products SO small as to be almost
pitiful? There is enough knowl-
edge to day In accessible form
and which can be had at very
small cost, that farmers might ap-
ply with tho result of producing
twice the average yield per acre
which they now get, and their
work would not be very largely
increased.
