too numerous TO warrant the assump

there are difficulties in the way. The

centage of the net profits. A position
of this kind is the next best thing to
owning a farm.
Although an agricultural college ed
ucatiOn is of great value, it must not
be taken from what | have said that
success without such an education is
impossible. Many farmer boys are
not fitted for an education ofathis kind
either by temperament or ability.
Many others are SO situated that they
cannot be away from home for four
years. Still others do not have the
money. For these boys an agricultural
college education is an impossibility.
To teach them something about their
business some other form of educa-
ton is necessary. This is being sup
piled by the secondary schools The
work Of these schools will be described
IN the next article.

really come to fill the place for which
they were designed. At first the idea
of educating farmer was laughable
to many people who rejoiced in lit
tie learning. Even the farmer him
self did not realize the advantage OF u
college education to man who must
make living from the soil 1t took a
good many years to bring people to re
aliZe that college education is as val
liable for farmer as for doctor or
q lawyer The main difference is that
the law compels man to get a col
lege diploma before he starts to prac-
tice medicine. while he may start
farming with nothing but team a. nd
pillow.
Even at the present time there are
many men both on the farm and in
the cities who doubt the value Of
college education for the farmer
Many a farm boy is squarely con
fronted with the problem of choosing
between four years in college or start
ing to farm at once Four years is a
long time to a young man. Fifteen
hundred to $1,000 is q large sum of
money TO him. To spend both for "a
college education requires great deal
of courage and faith in the future.
The amount of money necessary to
pay four years expenses in college
will enable the young man to start
farming on a rented farm. The four
years will. if he Is industrious, enable
him to earn enough to make good
sized payment on farm of his own.
If he goes to college he will have
nothing at the end of the four years
but the experience and knowledge he
has gained there. Is it worth it:
| have put this question squarely to
dozens of men In their last year at
an agricultural college. Without ex-
ception they say that 1t IS worth the
outlay Not one regretted the time
or the money which he had bartered
for his education. Few Of them placed
It on money basis alone, but even
from that standpoint they considered
that the chances were in favor of the
college man.
The. boy who starts farming for him.
self without any education will run up
against good many snags which the
college man will miss. He will learn
by experience many Of the things
which the college man learns in
school In doing so he will pay much
dearer for his knowledge. The old
prejudice against hook farming" Is
fast disappearing. People are coming
to realize that book farming is merely
the fused experience of successful
farmers everywhere. explained and

And satellites turn pale,

Ten billion leagues of tall
And what would happen TO the land,
And how would look the sea,

Full hot and high the sea would boil,
Full red the forests CLEAN;
Methought saw and heard il all

Had stewed the tutors eye,
saw fort-the soldiers all
Were armed with goggles green;
Pop cracked the guns whi2 flew tn,

Bang went the magazine.
saw scalding pitch roll down
The cracking, sweating pines
And streams OF smoke, like water
spouts,
Burst through the rumbllng mines;
asked the tiremen why they made
Such noise about the town,
They answered not--but all the while
The brakes went up and down
! saw the OK that browsed the grass
Writhe in the blistering rays,
The heritage in his shrinking jaws
Was all fiery blaze;
saw huge fishes boiled to rags.
Bob up through the hubbling brine;
Aed thought of supper crossed my
soul;
! had been rash in mine
Strange sights strange sounds 0
fearful dream
Its memory haunts ne still,
The steaming sea, the crimson glare,
That wreathed each wooded hill;
Stranger! il Through thy reeling brain
Such midnight visions sweep,
Spare, spare, Q spare thine evening

And sweet shall be thy sleep.
