my ideas in regard to their relation

least, unbiased.
My sympathy goes out to the
farmer who maintains the fertility
of his soil that he may improve his
crops, thereby raising the standard
of his herds and flocks, thus engag-
ing in scientific farming and leay-
ing an example of usefulness to the
world and a legacy to his posterity.
My sympathy is also with the teach
er who fills his pupils with an in
spiration to live a life of useful
ness that the world may be better

advancement upon his pupils, but
creates within them a desire for use
full activity. a child's habits and
success in life largely depend upon
his first impressions and early train
ing. Therefore, the teacher cannot
be too careful as to the example he
may set, in school time or vacation.
His mistakes are forever held against
him by the pupils; his acts of kind
ness and impressions of good are
ever cherished with his memory.

The family with young children that is
without sickness in the house now and
then is rare, and so it is important that
the head of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise.
A child with a serious ailment needs a
doctor, it is true, but in the majority of
instances, as any doctor knows, the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble,
usually constipation.
There is no sense in giving II pill or
a remedy containing an opiate, nor is
flushing of the bowels to be always recon-
mended. Rather give IL a small dose of
n mild. gentle laxative tonic like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which, by clean
ing out the bowels and strengthening the
little stomach muscles, Will Immediately
correct the trouble.

TO crowd our minds with naval and

(FTon State Farm Institute BulletinD
After the creation of the world,
when the planets and smaller bodies
had been so arranged in groups and
systems that each depended upon the
other, and were poised in space per-
forming their intended functions,
the mineral. vegetable and animal
Kingdoms were also created in like
manner; each dependent upon the
other, and all for the use of man,
the highest type of creation.
The vegetable kingdom is depend
ent upon the mineral kingdom for
plant food; the animal kingdom sub
sists upon plants, and other animals,
hence the relationship, and also the
absolute necessity of a complete
knowledge of the soil. because upon
it depend all living things for sus-
tenance.
The late census returns indicate
a national population of more than
9O.OO0,OOO people, which may be di-
vided into three general classes,
producers, the professionals and the
merchants. These also have a GER
tain relationship which must be mu-
tual in order that all may survive.
To a considerable extent, the well
fare of any one of these classes is
dependent upon the success Of the
other; but nowhere, perhaps, do we
find the mutual relationship of such
great necessity as between the
farmer and teacher. The farmer
represents the most important
branch of producers; the teacher
stands at head of the professional
world.
