The forty-fourth annual catalogue
of the State Agricultural college con-
tains 244 pages and seVenty-four IL
Illustrations. and lists 1887 different
students for the past year, 1894 from
100 Kansas counties and forty-three
from OF er states. The worth of the
Kansas State AgricultuFal college to
the state from its experimental work
is far in excess of the cost to the peo-
pie of the state, yet its greatest value
is in educating young men and young
women in regard to the opportunities
and privileges of the farm. Young
men and women who are dissatisfied
with farm life or who wish to extend
their knowledge of the business of
farming or home making should write
for a catalogue.

interview him. He wasn't bit sassy,
but was tending strictly to business.
We talked advertising for fifteen min
utes. He gave me some valuable in
formation-but no advt., and I told
him some things about the Bulletin
and Sterling he never knew before. I
have a promise of some business this
fall, but have decided not to buy an
automobile on the strength of this
promise. I haven't forgotten Anal

they don't attend to the advertising
