1t is no criticism on the agricultural
college if some of its graduates turn
to other pursuits than that Of farm
ing. would consider an agricultural
college a poor place to send my boy
if all he secured was a great mess of
facts about farm matters. When
was in college l was thoroughly drill
ed in the higher branches of mathe-
matics. l chose a profession that has
nothing to do with such studies, but
| have always been thankful that
secured the mental discipline that
came with my mathematical studies.
| once heard we'll educated man say
that he could tell from a minister
sermons whether he had studied
geometry and comic sections. Mental
arithmetic, algebra and geometry it
thoroughly mastered will help man
TO be a sound logician.
But the statement that the gradu-
ates from our agricultural colleges do
not go back to the farm is not borne
out by the facts of the case. Discus
sing this matter one of our papers
has this to say:
Professor Kennedy of the Iowa State
College furnishes the following in
formation pertaining to the occupa-
ton of graduates of the animal in
dustry department OF the Iowa agrl-
cultural school for the years 1910 and
1911 which is of special interest in
this connection.
SiXty-six men we're graduated from
that department during the years
mentioned and are engaged in the
following lines CT employment:
Farming, tifty-two; college instruct
ors, eight; agricultural journalism,
three; teachers of agriculture in high
schools, two; dairy test work, one.
Professor Kennedy states that pract1-
cally every one of these young men
could have accepted positions at
salaries ranging between ST., 600 and
81, 800 had he so desired, and adds
that sit is a showing like this which
makes college work worth while from
the standpoint Of the teacher. -
There are two gratifying points in
this summary. One is that nearly ~
per cent of the Iowa animal husband
ry graduates 60 back to the farms and
the concrete work of animal husband
rists; the other that a comparatively
new profession carrying good living
and great opportunity has been open
ed to ambitious young men. Few
college graduates can go out from
classical college work to positions
which pay ST., 900 to 81, 800 at the out
set and which are fertile of oppor-
tunity for advancement as any others
which pay less at the start. Another
very gratifying thing about it from
the young mans point of view is the
demand which absorbs the supply and
is for more. While other professions
are being overcrowded and divided OF
opportunity that of ANIMAL husbandrist
is begging for innumerable capable.
competent and trained men to fill the
places which wait for them.

Budded Apple
and Pear?

Well yes!
You'd think to hear some of our
esteemed nursery competitors talk
that we don't know what budded
tree is, and that we grow none OF
them.
We wish it were possible for
every prospective buyer of trees
who reads this ad and who knows
what good budded tree ought to
be, to go through any nursery in
the Northwest today, look at and
measure their finest, largest budded
trees on three year roots, then
come and see ours.
The contrast would be painful.
The fact is, our budded trees on
three year roots are just as much
superior to theirs in the same class
as are our yearling gratis.
It's in our exceedingly rich soil,
our continuous growing weather,
and our persistent cultivation, added
to which we have the moisture
under control and can keep the tree
GROWING and ROOFING when it
should grow and root. and can RIPEN
and MATURE it when it should be
ripened and matured, while in nur-
series in many less favored locali-
ties where early fall rains set in,
trees that have stood still part OF
the summer, often start a new
growth and at digging time are far
from ripe or mature,
Watch our stock
Watch the roots
Watch the tops
and you'll know why our claims are
correct.

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA

when a child, l suffered eight
years with eczema. I could not sleep
at night, and had sores all over my
chest We had doctors and none
could do any good, until my mother
saw the advertisement Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and they cured me of
eczema l also used them on my five
children. Two of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, l was not worried at all, as
l knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had it on their heads,
face, and in back of the ears so that
thought their ears would drop of.

Cuticura Soap and they are as clean

PRINCIPAL ROUTES OF BIRD MIGRATION
FROM NORTH TO CENTRAL AND SOUTH
AMERICA.
young are old enough to care for
themselves fall migration is begun by
trip to the Labrador coast, where
they fatten for several weeks on the
abundant native fruits. A short trip
across the gulf Of st. Lawrence brings
them to Nova Scotia, which is the
starting point for the wonderful ocean
flight, due south to the coast of South
America.
If the weather is good the birds
make the entire trip without pause or
rest, but if a tempest arises they may
be blown out of their course to New
England and start anew on the adj
vent Of fair weather. Having accom-
plished the ocean voyage, the golden
plover passes across eastern South
America to its winter home in Argen-
tina and after sojourn Of six months
there finds it's way back to the arctic
again by an entirely different and this
time mostly land route.
