Our favorite has again stepped to

Farmer and the Professor began thus,
The world is changing because there
has been change in the thoughts OF
men; here Is the farmer who follows
his line of work and knows thorough
ly when and how to tend to things
on his farm and on the other hand is
the Professor who is learned and
wise and knows all about the farm ir
his knowledge, but he can't, in all
probability. put his knowledge into
the energy Of the farm" He names
the important steps of life as the state
from birth up to the age of IL years
which he calls infancy, and from that
age up to the age of Fl the develop
ment age. "And what you are at that
age you are likely to remain the rest
of your life with the habits you have
acquired during your past life. Young
men, create a love for books and de-
vote your spare time to the study OF
them, and you will never regret the
time so spent. Labor is doing the
things that ought to be done, and
your knowledge is of far more value
to YOU than gold. Be determined in
your ways and do not give way to
one person on account OF his stand
ing in life. In conclusion, the farm
er works in one way and the protes-
sor in another, but both do great
work and necessary work..
