Result Of Change Ia Economic and
Social Conditions.

The character Of farming is chang
ing rapidly 1t is coming more and
more. to be an efficient, profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception, IN the past we
have not given much consecutive
thought to the bnsiness-nothing like
as much as the merchant gives to his
business or the doctor to his. It has
been so easy" q business that un-
trained men could succeed in it. The
change in economic and social condi-
tons is breaking up the tradition.
Farming is becoming more difficult
and the old methods must go. In the
future only the Hell-informed and eff
cient-thinking man can succeed; that
Is, only the educated man.
The country is to offer other advan-
tages to the educated man than mere
ly to be a good farmer. There are
good opportunities for leadership on
public questions-probably better op-
portunity and with less competition
than in the great cities. The fact that
city representation is increasing in the
legislatures should make the able
country representative more Uf a
marked man. The growth Of the insti-
tute movement, of the grange and 9th.
er rural organizations, gives fresh op-
portunity to develop leadership of a
high order.
1t would seem that, by the nature
of the progress we are making, the
college man must go to the farm. In
fact, college men have been going
back from the beginning Of the agri-
cultural education movement. Statis-
tics show that large percentage
actually have returned to farming,
and this in spite Of the fact that
cities have been growing with marvel
Gus rapidity, and that the whole sys-
tenn of agricultural colleges and ex
pertinent stations has been developing
and calling for men. Considering the

WITH THE SPRING, THOUGHTS
TURN TO THE GARDEN.
The paHodll Grows to Beauty With
Very Little TToubIs-Nasturtlums
and Dahllas Have Much to
Recommend Theme

With the spring the housewife has
q longing to dig in her garden and
plant her various seeds and bulbs. The
old-fashioned sigle hollyhocks, cosmos,
golden glow and asters have been un.
usually popular the past few years.
Poppies, sweet-peas, asters. cosmos,
and nasturtiums bloom through to
September. Asters are getting larger
and more beautiful every year.
There is no blossom better adapted
for spring in the home, in city or coun-
try, than the daffodil. There are many
beautiful varieties, and they can be
grown with little trouble. Whether
your grounds are large or small, a
space can always be found for these
bulbs, which are placed in the soil in
the autumn. Once planted, they will
bloom season after season. Dahodils
will also grow indoors, and will be a
delight from Christmas until Easter
These plants will blossom out of doors
in April and continue through May
Nasturtium is another easy plant to
grow. For the garden border, where
cut flowers are the chief aim, the
dwarf varieties are the best. They viii
bloom better if the soil is not too rich
Dahlias are a decorative flower, anC
are particularly desirable for use II
new places where the shrubbery is no
advanced. They make an attractive
display along the wall or fence, an'
