notice that almost all human progress

warm and stimulate their vocation, and
thus you get progress. This has been
essentially true in Wisconsin Here and
there some bright man will be encour-
aged to make start. and his example
will do more than ought else to insure
progress in that section. Nine out of
ten farmers learn only by what they see,
and not by what they read. The intel

grasp the idea on the printed page and
then put ii into practice Is weak, as a

that very reason that he needs a more
