Higher Education for Farmers.

Following Prof. L. H. Bailey's dis
cussions of why boys leave the farm
and why some boys take to earning
vital questions today-The September
Century will present another paper
from the director of the College of
Agriculture of Cornell university
Prof. Bailey's discussion of "The Ag-
ricultural College and the Farm-youth"
is based, as his former papers have
been, on facts and figures gathered
at first hand from Cornell university
students. Naturally, Prof. Bailey
pleads for higher education for the
tarm-youth; and his arguments are
certain to be worthy of thoughtful
consideration.

Conquest q d: Great
American Desert


There ID now $37,OOO,O0O appropri-
ated under the national irrigation act
to build great irrigation works now
surveyed and approved, or under con-
struction, that will reclaim 100000
acres of desert waste. That is one
tenth of the total cultivated area of
Japan. Ten times that sum of money,
1910, 900, would reclaim 100000
acres, an area equal in size to the
entire cultivated area Of Japan, and
capable Of sustaining as great a pop
ulation.
In other words, for less money
than the Panama canal will cost, we
could reclaim land with a producing
power equal to all the agricultural re-
sources Of Japan. Isn't it worth do
ing? And it would be done by our
own people, for our Own people.
within our own territory, and the in
situations created would be American
institutions.
We have ten times that amount
that can be reclaimed in the west
ern half Of the United States. 80 we
can, in half our territory, create ten
agricultural empires, each the equal
Of Japan in productive power. In
other words, we can sustain a popu-
lation ten times our present popula-
ton and to do so 1t is only necessary:
Fkst-TO provide the land for them
to live upon, by a great national sys-
tenn of forestry, preserving our ex-
listing forests and planting new ones,
storing the flood waters in reservoirs,
building great canal systems, build
ing leVeeS and revetments, and all
necessary works for flood protection
and river control building great
drainage works to reclaim the sub
merged lands, building good roads
and steam and trolley railways, and
in fact finishing natures job where
she left it only partly done in pre-
pairing this country of ours for human
habitation.
Second-TO provide the people to
till these new acres with great pub
lie school system that will train every
boy and girl to love nature and love
to cultivate the soil and make things
grow so they would. know how, il
need be, to provide a family with food
from an acre of good ground, and
start out in life not to merely look for
job, but to get a home and live on

LODGES WILL HAVE BUILDINGS.
Permanent Quarters Being Built at
Spokane Fair Grounds.

Two or three, and perhaps more,
permanent buildings will be erected
on the fair grounds at Spokane this
year by fraternal orders. Nothing
which has been done gives greater
assurance Of the permanent nature of
this fair, which has become the great
exposition of the Pacific northwest,
than the decision of these bodies to
build for the future on the grounds.
The Woodmen of the World were the
first to come to this decision. They
met on the grounds on the 18th of
the month, had big picnic and put
up log house which will be finished
and furnished before the opening of
the fair. Here they will hold their
receptions and have Headquarters.
The Modern Woodmen of America
also will put up a substantial build
ing for their headquarters this year
and in the future. They are plan
ming numerous entertainment fea-
lures for their friends, who are ex-
pected from all portions of the Pacific
northwest.
Other lodges are talking of taking
similar action. The W. G. T. u. put
up building last year, which will
be finished and improved upon con-
siderably before this years opening

Strange Ways in which This Il
shown I'm Paris.
It is because man has become 30 cal
lous and engrossed In business that he
can no longer give the necessary ca
ressing attention to woman that she
thinks Is her due that she now goes
to animals for it2 Woman wants to
show affection as well as to receive 1t,
and we read here that a woman whom
DR.. Magnin impolitely called degener-
ate had adopted a turtle which was
cruelty treated by a former master,
and which she placed in the warmest
corner Of her bed to nurse it and cure
1t Of a cold which she was afraid
would turn into consumption, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. She was sorry to
learn that no specialist exists to cure
turtles of tuberculosis, which she re-
CARDS as one of the things lacking in
civilized countries. do not know that
woman with the turtle, but 1 do know
the woman about whom l shall tell
a dog story" She has a private house
for the comfort Of ten or twelve dogs
that she cares for better than she
would for her own children, If she had
any, When she is away in Paris the
maid sends a telegram to her every
day, letting her know OF the state OF
health Of the dogs. veterinary is
paid to visit them once a week, and he
has carte blanche for expenses for
medicine, or for anything which a dog
needs to cure cold or to destroy any
thing that grows that might incom-
mode these puppies "in clover" Just
now the favorite lapdog of Miss M. is
Ill with bronchitis and the veterinary
calls twice a day to see the dog. She
watches it. nurses 1t night and day,
buys chickens for broth, to see If
Tinette will not take some, and posi-
bly, condescend to take a bite from the
wing.
The habit of having animals instead
OF children for pets Is not only foolish,
but animals transmit their diseases to
man. 1t has been proven now that
dogs can transmit tuberculosis. Catch
Ing 1t from one human being, they can
give it to others. The taenlal echlno-
coccus in the dog transmits its eggs to
man, finds a home in his liver, decom-
poses 1t, transforms it into a liquid
tumor, which, in medical phrase, is
called "hydatid cyst" Must not all Of
us come to the conclusion that human
creatures are heirs to enough diseases,
without catching those ordinarily con-
fined to animals? The brute world is
one of the most beautiful works of the
Creator, but should it not be left in
its place, as everything else is? There
is no doubt that such intense individ-
ual love Of animals is one Of the seri-
GUS symptoms Of degeneracy in man.
