Modern Agriculture.

The "@erburdened taxpayer, "

that he is getting some returns
for his money when he under
stands the way in which agricul-
tufal colleges are attacking their
many problems. 1t is the prac-

perlence of the most successful
dairying countries in the world,
says Che Wall Street Journal.
Illustrated pamphlets showing the
buildings of an English dairying
farm, a group of Ayrshire cows
at the milking hour, the interior
Of dairying stalls in Holland, and
the various ways of marketing
milk and milk products in differ
ent'parts Of Europe, are all pre-
scented to the Illinois or the Mis-
souri, or the Kansas farmer in
such a way that people of averag
intelligence should have no diff
Guilty lin availing themselves of
the results of such specialists

Pork production is receiving
special attention throughout the
East and the interior. The sub
Ject is ON the program for the au.
tufm and winter Institutes, a saS-
sion OF which is to be held in
most of the leading agricultural
states. These deliberations give
actual results from feeding ex-
pefienceS and marketing prac
tlceS. In due time such cOncen-
tration upon the meat problem of
the country must tell largely to
the advantage of producer and
consumer, and afford justification
for large appropriations for the
public treasures for the promo
ton Of agriculture. a
National prosperity depends m
'ereaSingly on translating expert
scientific results into agricultural

modern methods of production.
