Prof. A. NJ. Brower, . noted educa-
tlonal specialist, predicts that farming
will soon be taught In every public
school Of consequence in America.
He says 1t Is becoming recognized that
the farmer must be educated for his
task, as well as workers In skilled lines
Of labor aud the professions are educat-
ed. 1t has been demonstrated that un-
skilled farming means depleted soil and
natural resources SO exhausted that the
farms soon cease to pay. Many farmers
to-day, especially in the older states,
are struggling under depressed condi-
tions arising from haphazard methods.
Their fathers found the soil rich, fresh
and remunerative, and we're able to
exist and make good living by unsci-
entific methods; but that day is pass
ing, and the young farmers who are to
cope with the situation successfully
must be well grounded in the scientific
principles Of cultivating the soil.

On account of the expense of sending

that few IL any OF these Christmas

Christmas business handled by the ex-
press companies alone represents
value Of hundreds of millions.
This Goes not take into account the
great number of bundles carried by
the messenger boys. In the four cities
above mentioned these amount to near
~ a half million In number. The jo-
vial old saint could scarcely get along
without their help.
In addition. it is necessary for Santa
