THE DAY OF THE FARMER.
Useful TilIer OF the Soil Has Come TO
His Own.

The farmer who is not an amateur
is a really increasing factor In to-day's
life. In fact farming is rapidly be-
coming one of the professions. We
have our agricultural schools just as
we have our law schools.
1t is getting to be a business as
we'll Farmers have their trusts, like
other manufacturers.
1t Is a far cry from the New Eng
land farmer trying to arrange an ex-
ploded granite quarry into a stone wall
that he may have room in which to
plant his crop. and that master of cap
ital. science and black earth ten feet
deep who plows with traction engine
and reaps with a ten-horse team. And
between these two types of farmers
the drift is steadily toward the lat
ter.

lie boffoss money OF its owner.
And. what is vastly more important.
the entire country looks with a respect
bordering upon apprehension on this
new type Of American who has decid-
ed views on railroads. trusts. and. In
fact. on every subject from the green
bug" to the lecturer at his chautau-
qua. This rise of the farmer into
national significance is welcome In
view of the inundation of great cities
by immigrants who have significance
only en- masse.
The farm is the nursery of individ-
ualism. If you are cliff dweller in
the city send your boy there, and let
him see what It means to create
wealth with the help of nature. rather
than with the ticker. You will help
