A Great Special Offer.

THERE is A CHANCE to bring your
friends into The Progressive Farm
err and Gazette Family. For 10 cents
we will send the paper, to new subscribers
only, until January 1, 1911. We will also
send the back numbers containing Mr..
Poe's "Round the World Travel Letters"
as long as the supply lasts. To those who
send in blocks Of five, liberal premiums
will be given.
Go out among your neighbors who should
be taking the paper and get their subscrip-
lions to-day. II is not likely ever to be SO
cheap again, and we feel safe i'm saving
that 1t is going to be better than IL has
ever been. Why, Clifford Pinchot's article
next week will alone be worth the money.
Many man would think nothing of paying
% cents for a magazine just to read what
Mr.. Pinchot has to say about the farmer
and water powers. Amy one of the articles
on the Breeds of Cattle will easily be worth
the whole cost of this trial subscription 20
any man at all interested in stock raising.
This is your chance to bring the doubt.
into the fold.

At the Oklahoma State Fair the Agricultural
College of that State will conduct short course
OF agricultural instruction for boys. Each county
can send two boys-one selected by the County
Superintendent of Education and the other by the
Farmers Institute No better place could be Sc
lected for conducting short course for farm
boys The exhibit will furnish the best of ma
terial for illustrating the instruction. When will
the Eastern and Central Southern States realize
the true object of agricultural fairs? In the past
they have been planned for amusement but sure
ly their first and best function is to give instruc-
ton. This idea of short course for boys on the
State Fair grounds is a good one If the boys will
take to it.
