farm and settled the question for
ever. At the present day no farmer
can AFFORD to deny his children an
agricultural education. 1t broadens
his vision-unfolds wonderful possi-
bilities. The farmer cannot impress
too strongly upon the mind OF HIS
boy the Importance OF this art. No
field is so occupied by leaders, nothing
means more to future generations.
When will all these results be re-
allied? When the American farmers
organized and united, make their
presence, their purpose and their in
1uence known in the community, the
state and the United States. 1t is
then. and not until then, that profit
able prices can be expected, specula-
tion checked, child labor done away
with and effective legislation secured.
1t is then that conditions on the farm
will be produced to make wonsan's
lot less irksome and more conducive
to health and happiness. 1t lis then
that the farmers wife will furnish
her home as well and as beautifully
as the city woman does. She will
not only be the queen of the earth,
but the queen of the home. A good

well managed farm. Home-the gold
en- setting in which the brightest
jewel Is n1other-will be the faith
er's kingdom, the child's paradise, the
mothers world. 1t is then that ideal
conditions on the farm will be re-
alized and the utopian dream Of the
poet will come true.
"Of what should a man be more
proud than to be called an American
farmer? The very title bears a grand
significance. To be an American Is
to possess one of the greatest titles
the world can bestow upon man. 1t
is to- have personality saturated
with civic pride, a belief in the
preservation of land and liberty at
any cost. To be a farmer is to be
endowed with the noblest calling OF
nature. No title, no calling, is more
sublime-more signiflcant-than the
American farmer. II implies honor,

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM.


The strawberry season is with US,
and one can hardly have this deli
cious fruit served in too many ways.
Among the most enjoyable forms in
which it may be. served, after the
fresh, ripe fruit, is in the form of
ice cream. Here is a good recipe:
Fut one quart of cream and one pint
of milk in pail and set in vessel
of hot water "a double boiler is best)
and when the top Of the cream wrink-
les, add one pint of sugar thoroughly
mixed with four tablespoonful of
flour and stir until the mixture is
creamy. Then add one quart of straw
berries which have been mashed to
a pulp and rubbed through fine
sieve and sweetened with one PIN.
CT graduated sugar. Cook for fiji
teen minutes more, then remove
from the heat and add one table
spocaful of extract of vanilla, if
liked, and set aside to cool. When
cold, put in a freezer and freeze as
any other cream. This recipe makes
three quarts of frozen cream, and
when less quantity is desired each
part can, of course, be proportionate-
ly. reduced.
