style. Gold, silver and exquisite glass
table appointments characterize her
entertainments and the most promi-
nent people in the country are her
guests during the social season.
This distinguished hostess long ago
became a convert to the vegetarian
system and through book which she
wrote on the subject, "The Aristocracy
Of HEALTH" held to her contention that
meat is unnecessary not only to diges-
don, but to the palate. The boob
aroused much discussion and during a
recent health congress in Washington
Mrs. Henderson arranged one of her
celebrated vegetarian dinners in order
to prove the strength of her theory.
Some amusement was caused by the
decliration of a prominent politician
who has a reputation for liking good
dinners, but who was afraid that with
out meat his evening meal would be
spoiled.
Mrs. Henderson's arrangements for
the dinner were unique.

many times moro perplexing than
those which troubled the pedagogues Of
our forefathers. In those days We had
the great resources of an unbroken and
an unsettled wilderness. The residents
of Ohio and Kentucky were pioneers.
Vast tracts OF rich, but unbroken,
wilderness stretched to the westward,
affording opportunity for the making
of thousands of new homes and beck
oning with alluring finger the sur
plus population of the Eastern States.
The soil was rich and fruitful, the
home market for agricultural products
was good, and the crowded centers Of
the Old World sought eagerly for our
surplus products. Such a thing an
agricultural education was unknown.
Mother Earth was fruitful from the
stored-up fertility of the ages and
needed but the tickling of the hoe to
Iaugn abundant harvests.

The farmer of to-day finds an en-
tirely different situation and a strong
and increasing competition. The vast
wilderness has been settled, and
through continual and often ignorant
and ill-advised tillage, the soil has
been depleted of its fertility. While
agriculture has thus been retrogradins
and the competition continually grow
ing keener but little has been done to
fit the farmer to cope with the chang
ing conditions. The average country
boy to-day receives a much better edu-
cation, viewed by present educational
standards, than did his grandfather.
yet it is along lines which help him
but little to maintain his position in
the country's development. He learns
the very things which. instead of maxi
ing him satisfied with the farm, i'm
pel him to leave it and seek occupation
in the centers of population. Ihe
farm boy who receives a common
school or a high-school education nat
urally turns toward the place where he
can best apply it. His schooling has
not. been such as would help him to
fam better, to make more money on
the farm or to make of farming an in
teresting employment. And so he goes
TO the city to utilize his special knowl-
edge. The trend of the country-raised
lad is irresistibly in that direction,
while there is no equaliZing current i'm
pelling the young people of the cities to
fill his place in the country. And the
city boy as he grows up and .marries
would like to have a home OF his own
on a piece of land, OF course, but he
knows only the trade or profession thas
he has learned. He knows nothing OF
| farming and he would not know how
to make living from piece of land
| if he had it. 1t has often been said
that it is worse than useless to put
the poor of the great cities out in tha
country, because they will not stay
there. AS a matter of fact, they can
not be expected to, for to them it is a
strange and barren story. The expert

that neither alarm registered properly.
