which the farmers particularly wanted,
aud the building has been provided for
in special appropriation. but the fund
for securing the stock to put it into
operation is to be provided by a special
tax levy which will be voted for in n

Agriculture as a Profession.

"It requires more brains and moral
FIBRE muscle and patience successfully
to run a large farm today than to
conduct any other enterprise of mod
ern civilization Thomas Dixon, Jr.,
in "a Life Worth Living"
Such is the conclusion of the bril-
liant author after trying, in his city
man way, to run a large farm. Some
years ago a young man trained to me-
chanical pursuits bought large farm
in Alabama. He made a success of it,
too. But he wrote: "It takes more
forethought and energy and planning
to run this farn than it did to run a
factory with 800 hands" And yet
nothing is more common than for us
to get letters from men in the cities
who have saved a little money and
who ask our advice in regard to their
investing this money in a piece of land
and going to farming. They admit that
they know nothing about farming, but
imagine that all is needed is some
land. The same men would hardly
suppose that a farmer could come to
town and take up their business and
make a success without any special
training, and they would not think it
possible for a man to become suc-
cessful lawyer, doctor or machinist
without a special education for the
business. But when it comes to farm
ing, the city mans notion is that any
one can be a farmer, and the wrecks
of their attempts at farming are scat
tered over every rural neighborhood.
In fact, it has taken the world long
time to find out that the man who
cultivates the soil properly and sue
cessfully must have a broader educa-
ton than in any other line of human
since his profession includes
that of so many others. He must
know accurately something of what
the chemist makes his sole profession.
He must know, too, what the biologist,
the entomologist and the veterinarian
know, and he must add the practical
in the handling of the soil
and the care of crops and of farm
animals. In short, there is no profess

Talks with Farmers
By w. T.. MASSEY.

Since the publication of our recent
editorial on the National Farmers
Congress, and intimating the impor-
tance of a real national organization
of agricultural and horticultural socie-
ties, We have been informed that there
has been appointed a committee of
prominent men who are working with
this object in view. We are not now
permitted to give the names of this
committee, but we are in perfect SYM
pathy with their efforts and will do all
we can to promote such a desirable
organization. 1t would seem that the
American Breeders Association, of
which Assistant Secretary Hays is the
secretary, might become the nucleus
about which some such organization
might gather, since it's work includes
both animal and vegetable life, and
an organization divided into sections
like the American Association for the
Advancement of Science could become
a great power in the advancement of
tn agricultural and horticultural work
of the whole country, and would be
the means of bringing the workers
of all sections together for real work,
and not as an airing place for semi
political hacks.

From the Shore of Eternity.

Alone! to land upon that shore!
With no one sight that we have seen
before,
Things of a different hue,
And the sounds all new,
And fragrances so sweet the soul may
faint,
Alone! Oh, that first hour of being a
saint!
Alone to land upon that shore!
On which no wavelets lisp, no billows
Perhaps no shape of ground,
Perhaps no sight or sound,
No forms of earth our fancies to ar
range,
But to begin alone that mighty change.
Alone! to land upon that shore!
Knowing SO we'll we can return no
more;
No voice or face of friend,
None with us to attend
Our disembarking on that awful
strand,
But to arrive alone in such a land!
Alone! to land upon that shore!
To begin alone to live forever more,
To have no one to teach
The manners or the speech
Of that new life, or put US at our
ease;
~ lnaI we might ule III pairs Vi CoIIi-
pdnies.
Alone! the God we know is on that
shore,
The God of whose ATTRACTIONS we. know,
more
That of those who may appear +
Nearest and dearest here;
oh! is He not the lifelong Friend We
know
More privately than any friend below?
Alonei the God we trust is on that
shore
The Faithful One whom we have
trusted more
In trials and in woes
Than we have trusted those
On whom we leaned most in gu
earthly strife,
oh, we shall trust Him more in tha
new life!
Alone! the God we love is on tina
shore
Love not enough, yet whom we Low,
far more,
And whom we loved all through
And with a love more true,
Than other loves-yet now shall Iovl
Him more
True love of Him begins upon that
shore!
SO not alone we land upon that shore
Twill be as though we had been ther
before
We shall meet more we know
Than we can meet below,

upon the spectators, feeling of self
protection, a glimmer of that desper-
ate courage which sometimes deifies a
coward. Everybody had seen this
man before-nobody knew where, or
when. He was an exception, in that
he was an enemy of the world.
Yet he smiled, an affable smile. His
brown eyes, not even that with the
droop in the eyelid, failed not for a
moment of the directness of their
glance. His humor was that appar-
ent thing, which forgets the illimit-
able in the concrete. He was a man
among men. He knew nothing else.
1t was a hard game but a fair that
he was playing. There was indict-
ment in his look.
Here lam l." it seemed to say
What would you be if you We're L
you good people!'
I make no mistake in saying that
most of us plead guilty in spite of the
fact that we recognized the enmity of
the glance an enmity that was un-
conscious and unthoughted a thing in
the man, primeval emotion, an in
stinct that appealed as a rat to a
terrier.
Justice, after all, is a personal mat
ter. We looked and shuddered at the
exhibition of a certain superiority
pre- -eminence if you will, of nerve and
of hatred
Hating-and afraid-we sympa-
thized with that we could not feel!

Wasting Fertility.

Forty years ago, when the editor of
The Practical Farmer lived in the
West, the general notion was that the
lands were entirely inexhaustible.
Practicing upon this notion that fertile
section of Illinois formerly called
Egypt, because of it's productiveness,
has been brought down to the same
level as the exhausted soils of the
cotton country. The great Bonanza
wheat farms of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas are now making less wheat per
acre than the old lands of the Allan
tic Seaboard, where farmers have .een
compelled to adopt better methods and
better rotation of crops, and through a
judiciouS use of commercial fertilizers
and the growing of legumes, are COM
peting on favorable terms with the
wheat growers of the West. Recently
a farmer who had been for seven years
in the South, and had realized what
could be done through the aid of
commercial fertilizers properly used,
went to Minnesota and took a farm
which he describes as all sand and
gravel and no clay at all. He con-
cluded that on that soil where his
neighbors were making crops by the
use of purchased stable manure, would
be a good place to test commercial fer
tilizers. He therefore applied for in
formation on the SUBJECT 10 the MIN
nesota Station. They seemed to be
amused at the idea and referred him
to the Eastern stations who were study
ing such things, evidently seeming to
be imbued with the old Western no
ton that while fertilizers may be of
value on the old lands of the East,
the Minnesota soils do not need them,
assuming, of course, that all Mime
sofa soils are alike eXuberantly fer
tile The same notion prevailed in the
whole Mississippi Valley, but year af-
ter year the necessity for replacing the
plant food that has been robbed from
the soil by the continuous culture of
cereals, has become apparent, and in
all these States, even as far west as
Kansas, we find that they are pass
ing laws to govern the trade in COM
mercial fertilizers, and Station after
Station has been obliged to take up
their study, as the Minnesota Station
will ere long be obliged to, instead
of turning off an inquirer with a sneer
at Eastern Stations when Stations
right at their doors are taking up this
matter of soil Improvement and fer
There are soils even in Mime
sofa which lack something for the
production of crops or they would not
be making fifteen bushels of wheat per
acre while down in old Maryland
lands, they are making forty or more
bushels.

THE WORK OF OUR HANDS, BY H.
A. Mitchell Keays, author of He
mat Eateth Bread with Me- PIP.
319, 12mo. Cloth New York; Nc
Clure. Phillips & Co.. $1.50..
AS so often happens in present-day
fiction. Mrs. Keay's new novel begins
where those of an older fashion We're
wont to leave off-with the marriage
of hero and heroine. says the New
Y York 1imes in a review OF this book.
Christian Bronsart the hero. is the
son of a plutocrat, who in early life
had brought about the financial ruin
of John torsythe, and, as a result the
death of Forsythe's wife. Nevertheless,
when the younger BronSart becomes
engaged to Aylmer Forsythe, the cid
ers hide their enmity. aud the course
of true love runs even more Smootnly
than is it wont under less inauspicious
conditions. The trouble begins when
the ideals of the wife, reared by
noble Puritan father, clash with those
of the easy-going young husband,
whose life of luxury has given him
moral myopia, and whose business
ethics have distorted his conscience.
Moreover, AyEmer is inspired to a
championship of the doWn-trodden
mill employees of Boothroyd, an en-
thusiestic Socialistic preacher. NatuT
ally, "ructions" follow, in which, we
confess. our Sneaklng SympathleS are
inclined to go with the party of the
other part" rather than with the high
souled Aylmer and Boothroyd. Ger
tainly the reprehensibIe Bronsart pere
was possessed of a great patience
with a particularly trying, not to say
insulting, daughter-in-law; and one
can hardly blame the devoted young
husband for strenuously objecting 20
having his wife take into their home
Il woman of most evil repute, Mrs.
KeayS is true to the logic of events,
and makes the situation end in the
only possible way. Meanwhile, how
ever. it has wrought as much mischief
as was to have been expected. Wise
old Forsythe gives his daughter bet
ter counsel than does the incendiary
young preacher, who eggs her on"
to her course, but seems to take good
care to keep out of the fray himself.
The book will not contribute much
to the solution of problems economic
or material, but it is a strong and
clever story: the interest we'll sustain
ed, despite a little too much preach
ing; some of the characters (why have
they all such extraordinary names?)
are vivacious enough to relieve the
general gravity of the situations, and
all are original and vital. The pur-
pose of the story is high. 1t is no
small praise to say that one lays it
aside with clearer vision of the
things that really matter, even> though
the way thereto is not made plain.

luthor we have quoted from says,

Protecting the Pests of the Farm.
We have heretofore mentioned the
,bsurd game laws in some States,
which are evidently made in the in
crest of the idlers that roam over the
and of the farmer with gun and dogs.
The farmers are forbidden to protect
heir crops from the robins that de-
stroy their cherries or from the rah-
oits that girdle their trees and eat
heir vegetables. We are glad to note
hat some of our contemporaries are
-aking a hand in the remonstrance
against this injustice. There is no
'eason on earth for protecting rab-
oits for in States where they are not
protected they increase all the same,
md everywhere to the farmer they are
jests that should be abated. In a re-
ent number of The National Stock
nan and Farmer it is stated that q
aan in Washington country, PennsyI-.
Tania, was fined $25 recently for
shooting a rabbit out of season, and
asst year, in Ohio, farmer paid $110
n fine and costs for shooting a rabbit
on his farm. Now, if this matter was
:arried to a higher court we do not
believe there is a court of appeals in
his country that would sustain any
such law. The right to the free use
Of his land is carried with the title a
man gets, and the right to protect his
property from destruction is one of
he natural rights which farmers
have as well as other people. Laws
eor the protection of insectiverous
birds are all right, but even birds
ihould not be protected in the destruc-
ion of crops nor should rabbits be
PROTECTED in gnawing and girdling
rees In New Jersey in some sections
he deer have become a pest to the
farmers, but farmers are not allowed
o protect themselves solely because
he idle sportsmen want to shoot the
game at certain seasons. These inn
positions could be righted if the
farmers would unite in demanding it,
and even under the present laws they
,ould be protected by appeal to the
ligher courts we feel sure. Then, too,
see that the laws protect the farm
ars from the horde of idle men and
boys with guns that roam over the
country. Protect yourselves from
pests whether they be four-footed or
If0-footed.
