 enough to occupy the attention of wis itors for many days. Nothing to com pare with them was ever attempted be- fore. They are the climax of several decades of educational work which Is placing farming on a high plane and Is making scientific agriculture a pleas ing reality. The conspicuous role played by agri culture at the Worlds Fair should bring untold benefits and wealth to and impress all farmers with the i'm portance and dignity of their calling.
 Passing through these colossal build. ings, studying the attractive exhibits and fascinated with the bewilderinR encyclopedia of rural life which Is spread out before his eyes, the World . Fair visitor is impressed with the im- portant part the farmer plays in the great world of industry. and every farmer who views these interesting ex- hiblts is given a new pride in his vo- cation if filled with inspiration and i'm pressed with new ideas in harmony with the progressive strides that farm ing has been making for the past few years. The visit will give an insight into up to date farming on the most approved plan and will bring new hopes and blessings to the farm.
 How properly to rotate crops. how to get the best results from fertilizing and irrigation. how to protect crops and fruit from the ravages of insects-all eese and many more things of vital
 vest to farmers and fruit growers

SPO' Li'P Ramv,

A ram, famous in a West Virginia viii lage for it's propensity to butt, was en- ragged one morning, says the Philadel- phia Press, to discover Uncle Billy, an aged darky, asleep in the pasture. Uncle Billy sat with his head bowed low and his bald spot shining in the sun. The ram eyed 1t from a distance. Uncle Billy nodded, and the bald top of his head bade defiance.
 The ram stood up and waved a chal- lenge with It's horns. Uncle Billy nod ded in acceptance. With a sharp "Ba-a-a-a-ar' the ram charged and launched itself like catapult at the offending pate.
 A little later 1t packed itself up from the ground and wandered away to the farthest side of the pasture to ruminate over the collision. Uncle Billy looked up drowsily.
 "Po' lPl' ramp he murmured. He done wandered f'om de fold and foun' sorrow and tribulation"

FARMERS MONTH
 AT WORLDS FAIR
biggest Department of the Great Exposl. ton Ready For the Inspection of the Army of Men Who Made Its
 Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be- ing laid by, the farmer prepares for his trip to the Worlds Fair, treat that has long been promised him and for which he has patiently waited. No ex- position has offered so many induce ments for the farmers presence as this one at St. Louis, nor has any previous exposition given the prominence and space to the subject of agriculture.
 August and September are ostensibly the farmers months at the Exposition. for 1t Is at this season that the agricul ture exhibits are the freshest and best. Products of the new crops are pouring into the booths from every state In the Union. and additions are constantly being made to the gorgeous display.
 Headquarters for visiting farmers may be found in every state section of the great Agriculture Palace, but for their special convenience there has just been completed a Grange House, sith- ated in the south end of the building. It is equipped with a reception room. ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms. where parcels may be left free of charge. Here will be kept a lisr of moderate priced rooms 10 aid visiting farmers and their families in procuring accom- modations.
 The largest building on the grounds is the Palace of Agriculture, covering twenty acres. while the Palace of Hor- ticulture near by covers about third as much space. These two immense structures are filled with exhibits of the farm, garden and orchard of the most extensive and elaborate character, every state In the Union and most of the principal countries of the world being represented.
 Agriculture is given more prominence than any other department at the Elk position, the paramount importance of this great industry having been fully appreciated from the very beginning of the Worlds Fair movement.
 About seventy acres of ground are | covered by the agriculture and horti- culture department at the Fair. large outdoor spaces being devoted to this industry. Outside there are growing crops, trees and flowers, an instructive | six acre farm maintained by the Unit | ed States Government Plant Industry, and gardens in all parts of the grounds. There are more exhibits in the Agrt culture building than in any other sec tion of the Exposition. This building is considered by many people the most | interesting part of the Worlds Fair. The exhibits in the palaces of Agr. culture and Horticulture constitute display vast enough and instructive

spencer's Love Affair,

Herbert Spencer never married When he was twenty years old he had something like a tender affair, and he tells about 1t In his autobiography. The young lady's affections had nl- ready been placed elsewhere, and she was only playing with the budding philosopher. One day her 'youna man" called, and they all went out for a walk. Spencer says: "She, taking his arm, looked over her shoulder smilingly and rather mischievously to see what effect was produced on me- there being an evident suspicion that l should not be pleased. The revelu ton was not agreeable to me, but still It did not give ne a shock of a serious kind "
