Farming as a Career.

Prof. l.. HI. Bailey, of the Agriculture
al College of Cornell University has
asked hundred and fifty students
who we're bred on the farm and do not
intend to return, why they seek occu-
patton elsewhere He has also asked
seventy town-bred students who plan
to be farmers, and two hundred farm
bred students who intend to return,
why they choose farm life.
The Investigation is not intended to
show anything about the total migra-
ton from town to- country and from
country to town. The conclusion
which can safely be drawn is that
the argument in conviction, weight
and nobility of ideals is with those
who are going to be farmers.
The replies of the students, some Of
which Professor Bailey quotes in the
Century Magazine, are marked by a
fine sense of what is worth while in
life: closeness to nature, independence
and lhealthful physical labor The al
legged social advantages desired by
young men seeking the city are seen,
by these other young men who have
tried them, to be perhaps less helpful
in the development of character than
the simple relations of the farmer
with his few neighbors.
Very few of the young men who
plan to be farmers say much about
making money, whereas forty per cent
of those who seek the city give the
money consideration as principal
reason. Those who like the farm
maintain that there is a competence
for the good farmer, but they seek
other things than large incomes. CT

is to be an affair of the heart. We

Value Of Sun Baths.

A writer in The Ladies' Worlds say:
In Berlin last summer / was great
~ interested in the sun-baths conduct
ed by a prominent physician who had
a Sanitarium in the suburbs of the
city. The grounds of the establish
insure privacy, and partially shaded
by carefully trimmed trees. Near the
center of the enclosure stood a hand
some house, having on the southern
side large, one-storied extension.
This was the "solarium,'' consisting of
steel frame with glass sides and
roof. Tinted curtains enabled the
management to regulate the amount
of light in the room, which was divid-
ed by screens and partitions into a
series of small cells known as cubicles
The solarium was in daily use, while
the grounds were used only in clear,
dry weather
had seen similar institutions in our
own land and found nothing especially
noteworthy in the appointments of the
place. What did attract and interest
me was the application of the treat
ment to children. On warm days
the little folks, ranging in age from
few weeks to three years, were laid
perfectly nude upon blankets in, the
open air and there allowed to roll,
sleep and play to their hearts content.
To prevent sunburn, which the doctor
informed me does not affect children
SO much as adults, they were accus
toned to the exposure by degrees.
The first day, newcomer was per-
mitted to remain in the sun from fif-
teen to thirty minutes. The second
day the time was increased to forty
five minutes, and so on until at the
end of a fortnight the little patient
was able to pass the entire day in the
sun without discomfort. The effect
upon the children's skin was wonder
full. All colors were to be seen, from
a rich cream to golden bronze and
from delicate rose to deep, coppery-
red, like the skin of an American In
dian.
According to the mothers present,
the treat ent benefited the young
sters in many ways. 1T made them
eat and sleep regularly and well, in

and thus indirectly accelerated their
mental development. I could tell the
new patients from those who had been
there several weeks, not only by the
dissimilar coloring, but by the differ
ence in physical energy. Those just
