How College Training Helps the
Farmer.

Farmer.
In estimating the value of the edu-
cation to be obtained at an agricul-
tural college, or putting it in anoth-
or way, in deciding whether the sci
entific facts relating to agricultural
practice, which are taught at the col
leges or by books, are of value to
the man working the land, whose
opinions should be regarded as of
most value? Those who have learn
ed these scientific truths, or those
who have not? Is the unfavorable
opinion of those who have not had an
agricultural education of more value
than favorable opinion of those who
have actually been to an agricultural
college, or acquired knowledge of
the sciences of agriculture in some
other way? We have never heard a
man who had obtained an agricul-
tural education discredit it's value,
and this single fact is worth more
than all the sneers of ten thousands
so-called practical men who know
nothing of that which they hold in
contempt.
The following extracts from Hop
kins, "Story of the Soil," are put in
the mouth of a practical farm boy
who had attended an agricultural
college.
''I did not go to college to learn
practical farming, if we mean by that
the common practice of agriculture.
/ already knew what we call prac-
tical farming; that is, how to do the
ordinary farm work, including such
operations as plowing, planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting; but it seems
to me that this sort of practical farm
ing has resulted in practical ruin for
most of our lands. The fact is, there
is g. side to agriculture that l knew
almost nothing about as so-called
practical farmer, and I am coming
to believe that what we commonly
call practical farming, is often the
most impractical farming.
CAS- I said, I did not go to the
agricultural college to learn the prac-
tice or the art of farming; I went to
learn the science of agriculture; but,
as matter of fact, found that the
college professor knew about as
much of practical agriculture as !
did, and a great deal of science that
did not know"
Learning the facts and principles
underlying agricultural operations
never took anything away from the
most practical men, but has always
helped them, as all who have had the
experience will testify Progressive
Farmer.

Scores of News
papers Publishing
Testimonials

Scores of newspapers throughout the
country are publishing local testimon-
ials of many of the very best and most
truthful citizens, giving names street
and number of those who have tried
the great medicine, Root Juice, and
were cured by it's use. Many of the
testimonials are similar to the follow
ing, which was copied from the DAILY
Review Greensburg, Ind. j. w. Boyle,
of 116 East Washington street, said:
MY wife has been taking Root Juice
and it has done wonders for her. Be
fore taking it she had a very bad
stomach The lightest food would sour
on her stomach and cause it to burn
and pain her very much. In fact, she
said she felt like it was raw from top
to bottom. Recently her trouble was
aggravated by an attack of la grippe.
Her appetite was very poor, but after
taking the Root Juice a few days she
had a good appetite and could digest
everything she at without the least
longer weak and nervous, and seems
like a new woman. The remedy has
proved a wonderful blessing to her.
AS SO many people are talking about
Root Juice and telling about it's great
soothing, healing and toning qualities
to the stomach bowels, liver and kid
neyS, there is but little doubt in the
minds of the people at this point re-
garding the, unusually great merit of
Root Juice, and many proofs of its
curative qualities can be found in this
locality. The people at Arnold drug
store, 523 Kansas avenue, are glad to
sell Root Juice because of the satisfac-
ton it gives.
