In week the pretty little Michigan
girl found that life In Chicago with a
man old enough to be her father was
not the same thing as real love. She
found that the young fellow who was
her stepson had far more attractions
for her than her staid and very con-
servatiye husband. In fact, before the
month was out, she was head over
heels in love with the son Of her elder

Twelve million farmers are engaged

The number OF farms in active opera
tion is about 100000, the average
farm consisting Of 1877 acres, and near

by the men who till them. Engaged
in this great work are 100000

And this was brought about largely
through scientific farming fostered
and encouraged by the agricultural
department.
Here is an illustration OF what the
department does In Its practical work
ings:
The department sent out certain
variety Of cats tested and improved
by the Wisconsin station and they
were widely distributed in that state
with the result that the yield showed
an increase OF from three to five
bushels an acre more than the yield
from the ordinary oats. In 1901 the

And similar results have been pro-
duced with other crops.
