who has not studied agricultural con-
ditions at first hand will find it diff
cult to realize the strain and struggle
and depression of two decades and
less ago. 1t was not alone financial
depression. The farmer revolted be-
caues of that and of other conditions.
1t was at this point of the lowest ebb
in the faith and fortune of the farmer
that agricultural science came? The
Twentieth century farm home, in
many and important ways, is differ
ent place from the farm home of the
Nineteenth century. The home and
the farm alike have been improved,
the home in large measure because
of the improvement of the farm. The
rural telephone, the, rural mail deliy-
cry, better rural roadways-these have
reduced or removed the isolation of

otherwise typical of many counties,

trio road and $50 miles of turnpike
Conditions have not become ideal. but
the improvement is decided. Science
has heightened mans arms and broad
ened his horizon.
The discomforts of the farm home of
a generation ago are not duplicated
in the farm home of to-day. Agricul-
tural machinery has brought about
many changes. More is accomplished
with less labor. The farmer has larger
leisure, or, more often, he gets more
accomplished. In architectural con-
venience his house has changed for the
better The log cabin has given way
to the residence built of brick or
frame, in which light, heat, sewage,
ventilation, are as carefully planned
as the more expensive houses on the
city dots. In the same western county
heretofore referred to one sees in an
afternoons ride scores of such coun.
try homes, neat, comfortable, slightly.
The farmer has balance at the bank
His home shows it and school and
church give evidence. The social side
of rural life has changed, killing
monotony no longer rules and muir
ders. Science has come to the aid
of society in the homes without the
towns.
In the last analysis the bread and
butter question decides. Other ques-
lions enter into the calculation, but
this is chief. Here again science has
come to the aid of the farmer. We
know more about agriculture than we
did a score of years ago. We know
more of the constituent elements of
the soil, of the character and effect of
possible additions to the SOIL of tae
adaptability of the soil to certain
crops. of the constituent elements Of
the farm products, of the breeding and
care of live stock, of transportation,
of all that enters into agriculture. The
largest cause of this increase of knowl-
edge is the Agricultural college and
the Agricultural Experiment station.
Their fields of investigation are broad

and their rightful province of instruc-
ton large.
Live stock enters largely into the
inventory of farm property. Fifteen
per cent. of the wealth of the farmer
is in domestic animals of all grades.
Science early undertook to make the
growing of live stock more profitable.
Disease attacked the animals. Study
of diseases brought information as to
their cure. The next step was to iflrd
prevention or cure. The Texas fever
is an example. The great cattle range
is in the southwestern section OF the
United States. There long summers
and mild winters make profitable the
growing of cattle on open prairie. The
Texas fever destroyed thousands OF
cattle. A scientist in laboratory and
experimental pea undertook an inveS-
tigation of the destructive disease
After years of patient study he dis
covered the cause of the infection
which resulted in the fever and soon
afterward discovered a mode of in
oculation that rendered immune all
cattle thus treated. The outcome of
the scientists work has been the prac-
teal elimination of Texas fever from
the southwest. Foreign animals are
inoculated in the laboratory and made
immune where formerly 80 per cent.
died. 1t is a liberal estimate to say
that the expense of the investigation
which had this result did not exceed
$25, 900, and it is a conservative esti-
mate to say that as maAly millions of
dollars have been added to the ma
TONS wealth thereby. The feeding Of
cattle to produce the best market price
has been the subject of scientific study.
1t has been found that certain foods
at certain ages in the most profitable
mixed and balanced rations should
take the place in the feed lot of the
uncertain feeds of former years. The
transportation problem affects the
market price of cattle. New methods
of reaching the markets, by improved
cars, which are humane as we'll as
profitable, have taken the place of the
old and barbarous ones. The railroads
have better accommodation for ship
pers, more cars and better prices for
the shipment. Science has become q
farm hand in the cattle pen.
In agronomy, which means the con-
sideration of the soils, science has
become interested. The farm hand
formerly went out with spade or hoe
or pillow, stirred the soil, planted tho
seed and then some time later cult
waited the growing grain. He knew
little or nothing regarding the elements
of the soil, the character of the seed.
the chemical changes which brought
about termination. He was only the
man with the hoe. Investigation
pointed out that certain soils grew
hest certain crops, that where par
ticular element was lacking in the soil
it might be supplied and the use Of
fertilizers became general. Investiga-
ton and experiment showed that Sc
lection of seed was necessary for the
best results and that sowing and cul-
tivation could be improved. Machinery
saved labor and tine Investigations and
experiments from college and staticE

was performed. Science became a

cause of this the drift has been away
from the farms, to the sorrow of all
who love the human race. Why should
the independence of farm life appeal
when profit and comfort and culture
were the portions of the city? Science
has come to change conditions. Science
is the new farm hand.
The objection to the life of the farm
has been threefold; it's isolation, it's
discomfort, its financial outcome. The
loneliness of living away from othcr
people in the towns drove the thoughts
of the young man downward and soon
he followed after his own thoughts.
