DIGNITY OF FARMING.
In All the World There IL No Nob1eR
or More Learned Calling Than
That of Agriculture.


Within recent years IL has come to
be acknowledged that the vocation OF
the farmer isthe most dignified of all
the sciences and as an art it is ex-
celled only by those of painting and
architecture. In its highest forms II
is the most learned of all professions.
A knowledge of geology and chemis.
try and their relations to the soils
lies at the very foundation of scien-
tific agriculture. The problems that
arise from the complex nature of the
soils and their origin require the
best thought Of the best minds to
solve. More educated young men
should be farmers. Agriculture opens
wide field leading to influence and
power, one, too, that is not filed to
repletion. It holds forth the most
splendid promises to young men OF
ambition. II is filed with liberaliz.
ing tendencies, noble conservation
and the most healthful and invigorat.
ing influences. The day is not far
distant when agriculture will attract
men of the largest capacity and the
highest executive ability. and be re-
garded as the greatest of all the pro-
fessions. Let anyone who Is familiar
with what agriculture was hundred
years ago compare its condition
then with what it is to-day and he
will search in vain for the same pro
portionate elevation and progress
among it's followers in any Other
branch of human industry. Many Of
those engaged in agriculture now are
men of high elevation and broad
reading. Many of them have exten
sive and valuable libraries and TAKE
| numerous journals devoted to theil
business. Agriculture moves along II
its own quiet, dignified, but irresisti
BILE way. It has no booms, so Il
speak, but IL gathers strength will
each decade and with every accession
Of knowledge, and will forever be tn
most important branch Of human IN
dustry and the greatest necessity TO
the human race.

The Central telegraph Office of Lon

strife between the comptroller and
1000 women telegraphers. The comp
troller, who is man of severe mind,
trained in the north, ordered the clos

Nine years ago the ten-year-old

A WOMAN'S WARDROBE.
In Opinion Of Mrs. Roosevelt One Can
Dress Wen on Three Hundred
Dollars Year.

Mrs. Roosevelt was discussing her
winter toilet the other day with u
friend and remarked that any woman
with common sense could be we'll
dressed on $500 year. The mistress
of the white house further explained
that hitherto she had never spent that
year, but she supposed a greater
outlay would now be necessary.
Mrs. Roosevelt said her plan had
been to buy three gowns year, and
to get the best of material and to
employ the best artists. These gowns
were q street dress of cloth. usual
ly of tailor-made effect; an evening
gown and a gown which could be used
on all occasions in the house.
Every season this thrifty housewife
has her attire remodeled and trimmed
with the late tribes. and by this pro-
gramme has always a complete ward

Russian Cattle for England.

The Russians are now talking OF in
vading England with their cattle. A
commission from the Russian Agri'
cultural society will visit England
soon to pave the way for this class OF
business. Our shippers need not be
worried about Russian competition in
the live stock field. Russia has COM
paratively few cattle to spare, and
they are not of a class that will meas
ure favorably with ours in quality
The English people have accepted our
cattle as good il not superior to their
own and no other country can fill the
bill. However, we should not stop at
this, but strive to make them better

Hidden During RevoIution.

While a number of workmen were
making repairs at the Palais de Luxem-
bourg, at Paris, they discovered num-
Der of valuable paintings concealed be-
hind q tapestry. The queister of the
senate had them examined, and ii was
found that they are portraits of the
three first presidents of the old parlis-
ment of Paris, and of De Thou, the
famous judge. who Lived century and
half ago. 1t is thought that these
portraits were placed behind the tapes
try during the revolution in order to
preserve them. and that they have re-
mained there ever since.

KING EDWARDS HEALTH.
No Doubt But That He 10 Anxious
About the Condition Of
His Throat.

Discussing the state of the health
of the king of England the London
correspondent Of the New York Trib-
une says: Disturbing rumors about
the kings health have been in the
air for many weeks, but it has not
been possible to separate the wheat
from the chaff. The most trustwor-
thy account received from those in
touch with the court leaves little
ground for doubt that the king has
been nervous about the condition of
his throat, and suspicious that his
sisters fate might be in store for
him. Specialists have examined his
throat while he has been at HON.
burg, and they have confirmed the
previous diagnosis that there is no
evidence of cancer.
There is, however, some disease Of
the throat which requires constant
watching and trsstment. My infor-
mants state that the king has been
warned against any mental excite
ment and that h1s medical advisers
objected strongly 10 his going to his
sisters deathbed on the ground that
the emotion and intensity of his
grief would be dangerous.
There is q court theory that while
the kings throat Is not now in a
cancerous state. It may become so
under the inAusnoe of mental de-
preston and excitement.
This foreboding doubtless reflects
the pessimism pssvading England in
all matters. No alarmist at the court
suggests that the coronation will be
interrupted by decline in the kings
health,

Limestone as Fertilizer.

In order to grow big corn, or other
great crops, one needs to have land of
large productive capacity. Limestone
soil is well known to be the strongest,
most productive soil. The disintegrat-
ing particles of our limestone are a
continual source of enrichment to the
soil. If we had mills of construction
and capacity sufficient to crush and
grind down to a meal our rich lime
rocks, and should spread this rock
meal over any rundown land, there
would be no limit to it's producing
power. No fertilizer ever produced
could nearly equal in value limestone
meal.-T. d. Hubbard, in Farm and

GENERAL DICKS WISDOM.

The wisdom Of Chairman Dick In
determining to have an aggressive

Is amply testified to by the de-
mand coming into state headQuar-

hear the distinguished men who have
promised to be in Ohio during the
present campaign. The speaking pro-
gram, although 1t extends only over
about two weeks, promises to be a
lively one. Voters are hungry for ora

Zone thing Is true both south and
north, late chicks are not very val
liable. In the former locality exces.
sive heat reduces activity and size;
and In the latter early frosts and cold
weather check growth at the other
end of the season. So says contem-
porary. But we would suggest that by
feeding beef meal or meat in some
form, with green cut bone, even late
chicks can be given start that will
give them a good size by the time
frosts become frequent. Only those
that have tried it know the effect OF
such feeeding.-Farmers' Voice.

The Dird Question Again.

1t is estimated that we have nearly so
per cent. less birds than we used to
have. The robin, song sparrows and
all other kinds of domestic birds, if
they may be SO called, have been sacri-
feed to make ornaments for the ladies'
bonnets. But for every bird thus killed
we have paid the penalty. A myriad Of
worms has descended to punish us for
our cruelty. Laws are being enacted
against shooting the birds, but the
most powerful weapon is the worm. It
will do more to educate us than whole
books full Of laws.-Farm Journal.
