Doctor OF Agriculture.

The time is coming when every
ural community Of sufficient size will
have one or more agricultural experts
men professionally trained to serve
in an advisory way all the farmers OF
the community for fee.
These men will understand the
chemistry Of the soil and plant
growth; their laboratories will be
busy with soil analysis and the study
of local plant diseases; they will be
entomologists and psychologists. and
their value will be obvious to the en-
ightened farmers of new age.
These farmers, no longer content to
depend on the free clinic Of the state
experiment station, will seek the ad-
vice and prescr: tion Of the local doc
tor Of agriculture. The dignity and
the rewards Of this profession are
ound to increase, for it is founded up
n the basis Of our greatest industry.

COST THE LEOPARD HIS LIFE
Balloons Had Revenge FOR the Seizure
OF One Of Their Number, Though
Many Were Sacrificed.

The leopard likes the meat Of Ger

vine, resting from the midday sun.
when q company Of balloons came
clambering down the opposite wall to-
ward the water that trickled through
the gully. sat still and watched
them. A big male led, and after salts
flying himself that all was safe, ut
tered few deep notes.
Reassured blythe call, the others
quickly followed; a mother, with an
ever-watchful eye on her two young
ones, brought up the rear.
Suddenly, like a streak Of lightning.
a leopard sprang from behind rock,
and with one blow Of his paw, felled
the little baboon nearest him. But be-
fore he could make off with his prey,
the furious mother attacked him. The
attack had come so quickly that the
rest of the company hardly realized
what had happened. But at the moth
er's cry Of rage they all at once turned
and fell upon the robber.
In a moment the leopard was sur
rounded and almost covered with fur
ious baboons. The battle waxed hot.
Although numbers Of baboons went
down before the powerful paws Of the
cat, their places were Immediately
filed by others. It was not long be-
fore the leopard began to tire; he
could make no noticeable impression
upon his assailants, and his strength
was sapped by their sharp teeth. He
struggled bravely, but in vain; slowly
he sank out Of sight beneath the
fercely chattering foe that he had
despised. The baby baboon was
avenged.-Youth's Companion.
