descent as well as in its upward
struggle toward civilization.
II may with justice" says the his
torian Rollin, place agriculture at the
head Of the arts, which has certainly
the advantage of all others. as well
with regard TO its antiquity as to it's
utility. 1t may be said to be as an
cient as the world, having taken birth
in the terrestrial paradise itself, when
Adam, newly come forth from the
hands Of the Creator. still possessed
the precious but frail treasure of his
innocence; God, having placed him in
the Garden of Delights, commanded
him to cultivate It,"
The cultivation Of the soil, which
began thus with the first man, has
been the chief pursuit of civilized
communities all down through the
ages. All the great nations, ancient
and modern, have relied chiefly upon
agriculture for their subsistence and
development.
The early Assyrians and Persians
paid great homage to husbandry
Egyptian agriculture became famous
in the valley of the Nile before the
days OF Joseph.
The Romans and Grecians practiced
with delight and honor this most an
cient and useful among arts. Mago
a Carthagian general, wrote twenty
eight volumes, extolling the handling
Of the pillow and the sowing and con-
Quering Of land, when Carthage was
In her prime. Hero H., of Syracuse,
composed a book which gave wise
advice and excellent rules for support
ing and augmenting the fertility of
the country" when Sicily was one of
the chief granaries of the world.
Among the Greeks. Cato, Varo and
Columella wrote eloquently OF that
period when agriculture was held IN
highest esteem by the ancient world
and was honorably practiced by the
most renowned citizens of Greece and
Rome. Princes did not consider it be-
meath ,their birth or rank to be hus-
bandmen and to leave posterity pre-
cepts upon agriculture" so sensible
were they Of it's utility and value"
Roman senators lived almost contln-
ually in the open country and gloried
in the art of husbandry during the
perlOu tnAI SneuS IdlrGSL LuSLer upon
the Roman Republic.
Decline Of Hushandry.
But agriculture was doomed to fall
from its once honored position In the
public esteem. The most popular
among the arts. when the world was
younger by several centuries, it.
nevertheless, was destined to fail
from its exalted rank until what was
once the pride and boast Of kings be-
came the burden OF slaves. A dis
taste for labor which followed the In
PRODUCTION OF luxury among the farni-
lies OF wealth. and the neglect Of ag-
riculfure by educators when educa-
tion also became an art. caused the
more ancient art Of husbandry to de-
cline and fall into contempt: 1t having
been assigned TO slaves Or to men Of
little rank. CoIumella, who lived DUR
ing the first century OF the christian
era. deplores In sorrowful terms the
general contempt into which agricuI-
ture was fallen, even In his time. and
the persuasion men we're under that

geometricians, musicians, and what is
more astonishing, of people solely en-
ployed, some in preparing dishes pro-
per to whet the appetite and excite
gluttony, and others, to adorn the
head with artificial curls, but not one
for agriculture" Concluding, the same
author observes:

judgment of pride, the meanest and

and while useless arts, which conduce
only to luxury and righteousness are

Glory and Decline of Husbandry.
Thus. from few brief historic
quotations, we observe at once the
glory and the decline OF that art which
Horace longed to embrace and which
Cicero extolled with his eloquence.
We also observe the changed charac-
ter Of the people as agriculture, the
erstwhile honored art, fell SO low In
public esteem. For, during this later
period may be noted the corruption
and intrigues of those nations after
they departed from the simple, peace
full life which husbandry always al
ways fosters, until they finally fell, as
much on account OF their one-sided
educational development as on ac-
count Of their inordinate ambitions.
1t has been we'll said that no ma
ton can permanently survive the neg
! lect or subordination Of it's agricul-
ture. Thus, though agriculture was
once declared to be "the most CRATE
full amusement of princes and most
powerful kings" and was considered
"a wise and happy state. which in
clines man to Justice, temperance,
sobriety, sincerity, and, in a word,
to every virtue" it. nevertheless, was
destined to pass through an ordeal OF
social ostracism extending through
twenty centuries and yet, meanwhile,
| 1t rendered more important service
to humanity than all other arts or yo-
cations combined. And though brand
ed with contempt, it has survived,
while the nations that humbled 1t are

Emancipation Difficulties.
Emancipation of an art, however,

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908. and when three months
old slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be wa
ter blister would form. When 1t
broke. matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle Of clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some Of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, SO we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside Of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Mimi,
