peace will be delivered by NJ. witte
to Baron komura to-day. The reply is

Other points are accepted as bases
for discussion. while still others are

The reply is rather long, because in

The Japanese plenipotcntiaries are

A Word to Farmer Boys.
Weekly Agricultural Letter.

| WCchiy hkTiCulturn l%ttcE,
The experience a young man
gains on the farm is a most valu-
able asset. He should, therefore,
reflect well before deciding to
throw it away by entering some
other profession in which this ex-
perienoe is of no special value.
This is particularly true when we
consider the extent to which most
of the other professions are
crowded and the unusual oppor-
tunities now offered in agricul-
ture. Every ambitious farmers
boy in Missouri should plan to
supplement this experience by a
training in the College of Agri-
culture, so as to,be prepared for
the greatest possible success.
Ten years ago it was freely pre-
dicted that the demand for train
ed men in agriculture would soon
be over supplied. The supply
today is many times greater, and
the demand Is farther from being
supplied than ever and is grow
ing more rapidly than the num-
ber of young men fitting them
selves to take such positions is
increasing.
To place this sort Of training,
within the reach Of the largest
possible number of young men
who now live on the farm and
who cannot avail themselves of q
regular course, three short courses
in Agriculture are offered at the
University this winter, beginning
January 4th and continuing eight
weeks. One relates to soil fertil-
lity, crop production, horticulture,
etc. Another relates to animal
feeding, breeding. judging and
animal diseases, and the other
relates to dairying in, all of its
phases, from the production Of
milk to the manufacturing and
marketing of butter and cheese.
Practical experience is given
lin these courses in handling COM
mercial fertilizers, planting and
pruning trees. judging live stock,
diagnosing diseases mannfactur-
ling butter and cheese and ia
testing milk, eto.
These courses are praeticsll5
