The New Farmer.

At TOnl tlt <NS" iOik AuuCpchuSht.l
The change is overwhelming. The
farmer of to-day is new sort of man;
a creator instead of a destroyer. 1t
has dawned upon him, with astounding
emphasis, that he can obliterate all the
forests of a continent inside hundred
wears; can exhaust the oil wells and the
coal mines; can not only make q garden
of desert but can turn garden into
desert; can even use up the nitrogen OF
the air. The new agriculture teaches
him that he has all this to reverse. and
that reverse it he can. The future
farmer will subirrigaie his land, and
defy drought as well as floods. He will
become a scientific forester, and every
farm will produce wood and lumber al
well as wheat and apples. A single acre
will produce what ten acres yield now
Women will work out of doors as heart
ily as men; in fact, they will be the
horticulturists and the truck gardener
There will be closer relation between
the producer and the consumer. ignoring
q horde of middlemen who frequently
waste more than is destroyed by ignorant
help and insect foes combined. Under
the alliance with the school the farm
will be valued not only for its gross
weight of products, but for its poems
aud its education. AS our schools be
come places for applying as we'll as &C
quiring knowledge, our farm homes viii
become integral parts Of the garder
school and the school farm. The ALI
ance between the home and the schOo
will become very close. A valley full OF
farms is already the nearest to Paradise
that we have, but the future will ten
fold its wealth and one-hundred fold III
delights.

Profit by Comparison.

Many sheep men make the mistake OF
sticking at home too closely. This does
not mean at feeding time, for that time
ought never to find the feeder anywhere
else than at his post. But farmers
ought to get out and visit each other,
as we'll as successful sheep breeders,
more than they do. Staying at home
year in and year out, and attending to
his own business too closely, man un-
consciously gets into rut, and Is likely
to fail to progress, says Farm, Stock and
Home. On the other hand, the man
who gets out sees new ways of handling
and feeding sheep, new kinds of barns,
perhaps even new feeds, and also be-
comes familiar with types of different
breeds. He profits by comparison. he
sees in what respects, If any, his neigh
boris methods or sheep are better than
his own. Such an interchange Of ideas
as visiting other sheep growers brings
about mutual helpfulness. The visitor
and the visited are both dispensers and
receivers of information. The man who
gets out has the advantage in that he
knows what kind Of stock different
growers have; he thus knows where to
buy; in this way he suffers no delay, and
usually gets better satisfaction. 1t Ger.
tainly does not pay to keep too much to
oneself. Old fogyism and uonprogress-
iveness are too likely to result. 1t Is,
moreover, often cheaper and better to
profit by other peoples experience than
to 90 through the process of gaining
1t oneself. Receptiveness OF mind is
desirable characteristic.
