Unless you understand cows,
horses and sheep you cannot under
stand and appreciate good literature"
declared Mrs. Virginia c. Meredith, Of
the state school of agriculture, in a
paper read yesterday afternoon before
the annual convention of the Mime
sofa State Agricultural society, which
opened yesterday morning in the par
lors of the Commercial club. Mrs.
Meredith said that the complaint was
being made that good farmers would
not remain on the farms. She admit
ted that there was much truth in the
statement, and added that there was
only one thing that could keep the
farmer on his farm, and that was a
woman's influence. If the wife took
no interest in farming, and disliked
country life, the husband was not apt
to remain a farmer.
Mrs. Meredtths paper was one of the
four interesting ones read before the
convention yesterday. Fully 100 ag-
riculturists attended the opening ses-
sion, which was presided over by First
Vice President Chester R. Smith, of
st. Paul T. B. Terry, of the farmers
institute corps, read the opening pa
per. His subject was, 'Will Better
Farming Pay?" His paper not only
proved that it would, but his proofs
were as interesting as they were con-
NllCIuB. GdTI Oh the paper was QoVOC-
ed to the history of Mr.. Terry's own
trials and successes as farmer in
Ohio.
The trials were many, but as proof
of his success, Mr.. Terry stated that
after thirteen years of effort he won
the prize for the best farm in Ohio,
and took $4,000 off a little farm that
would seem very small to Western
farmers.
Weather and Live Stock.
A discussion on Winter Killing
was led by Prof Shaw, who stated that
cold wind sweeps were the most dead
ly cause of this, although in moist
clay land heaving Of the soil some
times broke the roots. Others who
took part in the discussion were: Mr..
Bulls, of Winnebago City; George
McKerrow, of Sussex, Wis; Mr.
Briggs, of Elkhorn, Wis; Mr.. Fur
long, of Austin; Dean Liggett, of the
Minnesota School of Agriculture, and
John Dimon, of Blue Earth.

from it with an air of surprise at the
impervious face of the valet.
How does this interest me, Feline?"
she asked.
More closely. perhaps, than you

the death of his father he came into

A dim perception of his meaning
stole into her brain.
"And that title was?" she questioned

On the bed, fallen asleep in an atti-

grief with which she had flung herself
upon her pillow, lay Ayice.
The thick lashes were still fringed
with their weight of tears; the lovely

Farmer Children Need Farmer Studies,
II Is Claimed.
Our educational system has been
made by city people, and the country
school finds it secondhand, limiting
and u~nattractive. To this fact more
than any other. perhaps, is due the
backwardness of education in agri-
cultural states. The school has not
taken hold on farm life. Plants, soils,
animals, insects, flowers, the weather,
the forests and the sky, from all these
things 1t has stood apart, while 1t has
babbled of subjects unfamiliar and un-
interesting to the country. bred child.
All rural education has been hacked
and hewed to fit the P~rocrustean bed
of the city model.
This Is a sewers indictment Of our
present methods, but 1t is not a whit
too severe. To find proof you have
only to examine the textbooks In use
In our rural schools. Apparently they
have been written solely for city chill
dren, sons and daughters of clerks.
merchants, bankers and traders. They
do not even suggest to the farmers
child the possibilities Of science and
training In agricultural work. On The
contrary, the natural and logical infer
ence from our general scheme of rural
instruction is that education is not
indispensable to the farmer, but is in
tended chiefly for the commercial and
professional classes.-World's Work.

Tonight 1t seemed dipped in blood.
and cast its red embrace upon all ma

silent, two fellow creatures moved to
their appointed places on the daisy

No attempt at reconciliation was
made by either second. One had the
casual expression of an Indifferent on

which showed him equally interested
