The farm is the best security we
have for our social we'll being, and
whatever promotes interest there,
whatever raises it in intelligence and
scientific spirit, is one of the most
comforting influences Of our civiliza-
ton. And so to have our young men
imbued with the true agricultural spir-
it, to turn away from the adventures
of the commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive, Independent life Oh
the farm, is one of the richest promises
in our educational system. For there
is where it belongs-to the expanding
mind force of the nation. The finest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re-
suits that will go further than all
other enterprise in blessing men, will
be won on the farm. There is a science
Of soil culture, and the art that is to
be based upon it will open wide the
door to men Of thought and refinement.
The answer of the old artist that he
mixed his paint with brains is akin to
the experience in the farming Of the
future, which will mix brains with the
soil.-Columbus (O) Journal.
