THAT EXCURSION,
the Farmers are not Manifest
ing the Interest Which
it's Importance
Demands.

At considerable expense and no lit
tie trouble, time and pains, Willis
How arranged for a days excursion
to the State Experiment. farm at ST.
Anthony Park-midway between St.
Paul and Minneapolis. BY cores
poudeuce with the railroad company,
he secured cheap rate, with sleeper
accommodations, so that one can go
to bed in the early evening here and
awake in Minnea polls; and returning
go to bed in ST. Paul and awaken in
Sank Centre-with meals, local trans
portation and every necessary con
venience. The entire expense includ-
ing practically two nights lodging,
one days board, the trip to ST. Pau
and return, and the day at the farm,
for i've dollars. While number have
already agreed to go, yet not one-hali
the number who ought to take ad-
vantage of it. 1t is not merely a
pleasure excursion but it certainly
will be that-it will be instructive and
valuable far beyond it's cost. No
farmer who aVails himself of this OPP
portunity would sell the practical
knowledge obtained for ten times the
cost.
Farmers, awake to a realizing sense
that this state farm is yours; that it is
being operated by your money for
your benefit, and the benefit of your
children. Go and inspect your prop
~erty, see what is being done, and get
the advantages for your own use which
is there offered. Remember that
there is not an experimental farm in
the United States which ranks as high
as this one in practical achievement
in the interest of agriculture. See
what the agricultural college is doing
for you. Get right next to 1t by a
visit, and you will come away with a
broader conception of the importance
of improved methods in farming, and
You will awake to a keener apprecia.
tion of the dignity of your occupation.
Mr.. How has received the following
letter which explains itself. Read i,
and then go to Mr.. How and assure
him you will be one of the excursion
party:
