Short Course For Farmers

Thoughtful men have long been
studying agricultural problems. A
sufficient fund of knowledge, if distri-
buted and put into practice, is now
available to bring about a general i'm
provement in farm conditions. I'M
proved methods Of cultivation; effect
i've systems OF rotation; the uses Of
live stock in the preservation OF soil
fertility; the breeding and raising Of
all kinds of live stock and the thous-
and and one farm problems with which
farmers have to contend every day are
all much better understood now than
even few years ago. Men know how
to do the plain everyday work OF the
farm more easily and more effectively.
The application of this knowledge to
the work of the farm means greater
efficiency per men employed, larger
production per acre and larger farm
income. This larger income in turn
will mean better farm homo and
and more of all the blessings of life.
AS one means of distributing this
knowledge a Farmers Short course is
established in the Department of Agri-
culture for the benefit of mature men
and women who are actively interested
in farm work. The time has been re-
duced from six weeks to four weeks so
that farmers can attend in greater
numbers. It is a lecture course cover
ing the more important branches of
agriculture, horticulture, live stock,
farm botany, farm chemistry, entomol-
ogy, poultry, dairying, etc. Special in
struction is given in the judging of
grains, soils and animals. The next
term commences on Friday, Jan. Is,
and closes on Feb. IL, 1909. There
should be q thousand farmers in at
tendance when this Short Course op.

THE WAY OF TIE TRANSGRES.
SOR.

Chester Gillette, the murdered of
Grace Brown, left q letter to his
brother, which should be read by
every young man in the country.
In it he says: 81 give you the girls
(Grace Brown's) picture. When
ever you arc tempted to do wrong,
look at it and remember your sisters.
Be worthy of them. * * Don't op-
pose your mother as SO many young
boys are apt to do. Make her so
proud of you that she may not think
of me-" How much better the world
would be if every young man would
remember to be worthy of his
mother and sisters. Young men are
headstrong and usually very foolish.
Obedience comes hard to them. If
they would only forget everything
else and remember to be worthy CT
mother and sisters their lives would
be very different and they would
avoid much sorrow

WAY OF SELF DESTRUCTION.

Discussing suicides and the effects
leading thereto the Railway Journal
published at Ell Paso, says:
1.-TWO Texas bankers and one
newspaper writer committed suicide,
on the same day the past week. Two
of the fatalities occurred in Fort
Worth and the other in San Anton
10. In the case Of the bankers their
accounts were found accurate, and
as the immediate cause of self-des-
truction. No reason is assigned for
the suicide of the newspaper man.
To the sane, even tempered we'll
balanced man, it will always doubt
less be a mystery why any person
with ability to manage large finan-
ces or competent as newspaper
writer should seek death except
upon the theory of insanity. Men
love life, and the strife, the respon-
sibility, the labor, the opportunity
for achievement which it brings, and

brighter days, to years full of honor,
to the time when Il may be per-
mitted to lay aside the cares of bus
