Only Woman admiral.

In those days King George was known
as Prince William of Denmark. He
took the name of George, owing to its
being more agreeable to GrecIan ears

language than William. King George

A NORTHWEST MANUFACTORY.

A great many of our readers have
had the pleasure of operating the ST.
Helens Incubators and Breeders and
most all have heard of them. 1t is
with pleasure that we give a partial
view of the st. Helens Incubator Fac
tory, the place where their up-to-date
machines are made.
1t is safe to say that no other fac
tory is better fitted to turn out high
grade incubators and breeders at a
low cost than the st. Helens.
1t is fitted with a full line of both
heavy and light machinery with a
capacity of one hundred machines a
day. They get the finest material
(the famous Red Cedar and White
FIR at the lowest possible cost. A fin
ished ST. Helens Incubator is truly a
fine piece of furniture but as a hatch
ing machine it is simply immense.

fore a knowledge of chemistry is nee
essary. He must know the use of ma
chinery, consequently he must, in
sense, be something of a mechanic.
He goes into the market to buy and
SELL he is therefore something of
merchant. He must know something
of the elements-results of changes
in the seasons-and he thus becomes
meteorolOgist. He should know
something of the laws of finance and
his business is then in some respects
akin to the banker What is it he
could possibly have learned at school,
at college, at the university which
could not be turned to useful account
in farming, not only useful in farm
ing, but in most cases absolutely neces-
sary? And this education might be
said to have nothing to do with farm
mig, but in reality it has everything to
do with it. A man might understand
biology, botany, chemistry, meteor
ology, mechanics, finance and many
other things which pertain to a liberal
education and which are considered
of the greatest value in the ordinary
walks of life and yet may never apply
them to farming, but how useful, how
indis4 -ensable they are when one aims
to become a successful farmer. The
modern farmer is grasping the situa-
ton and is rapidly learning the adj
vantages of a liberal education-not
one that is purely technical, but one
that includes in some degrees at least
a knowledge of what pertains to all the
objects by which he is surrounded, so
that he may intelligently reason from
cause to effect.-Iowa Homestead.

A FARMERS EDUCATION.


educate the farmer beyond knowing
how to read and write and the simple
rules of arithmetic. BY such mental
requirements he would be enabled to
read the weekly paper and to figure
up the value of commodities he may
have to sell. OF course if he had a
boy who was determined to have a
profession that boy would, if possible,
be sent to a high school or college. |
II the boy aimed at a commercial ca
reer he would go to a commercial col
lege; but if he aimed at neither of
these, but was content to stay on the
farm, why. few months in winter at
a country school presided over by a
teacher who himself knew little more
than the three R's-readin', ritin' and
rithmetic-would be deemed suffic-
lent. What did a boy on the farm
want with an education? it would be
asked. He could have no use for it.
And, besides, it would be apt to make
him disconnected and he might feel
like quitting the farm and going to
town.
The time was, and perhaps it is so
still in many parts of the country, |
that for a farmer to be educated was
to bring upon him ridicule or con-
tempt. He would be looked upon as
a theOrist, and perhaps he was. 1t |
was not unlikely that in the practical
he would be wholly lacking. He could
teach men how to raise crops, but to
follow his theories would bankrupt
farmer in a very short time. 1t used
to be said of horace Greeley that by
following out his theories in those
essays which he wrote long ago
under the caption, What l Know
About Farming" a farmer could pro-
duce good crops, but for every bushel
of grain or vegetable he raised it
would cost him many times over the
value of the product. SO it is often
wit hthe educated farmer. But a
moments reflection ought to convince
anyone that it was not the education
of the farmer which caused the
trouble, but because he was not edu-
Gated in the right direction. If he had
been educated as above stated the edu-
cation he had acquired was intended
or adapted to something apart from
farming. Irrespective of what his
other attachments in education might
be he should have an education relat-
ing to all the interests of the farm.
The higher his eductiOn the better for
him it will be on the farm, but he
should have an education along lines
of practical agriculture. The more
scientifically the farmer is educated
the easier will be his progress in the
pursuit of agriculture. Farming may
appear very simple, very rudimen-
tary, to the casual observer So is
life itself to the unthinking. But OBJ
serve the wide range which the pur-
suit of farming must cover. The one
who follows it must deal with the lead
ing elements of nature-the animal
the vegetable and the mineral king
doms. He has need of the knowledge
of biology in studying and caring for
the lives of the animals he has arOur1
him. His animals are of various
kinds and he should know the pecul,
iaritieS of each and how to treat
