A BUGABOO NO LONGER.

It is not long since there were recurrent
attempts to excite the readers OF sensa-
tiona1 newspapers, and some more solid
publications. over what was said to be the
danger of German designs upon Southern
Brazil. 1t was asserted that the Monroe
Doctrine might have to be supported by
arms against the creation OF a German
state in that part of South America
This bugaboo has been made absurd by
recent sta tistics OF Brazilian immigration
and of the various foreign elements in
Brazil. Not Germany. but Portugal,
Spain, even Russia and Turkey. are the
chief sources OF present immigration.
The GeS&lan element In every part OF

ing less instead OF greater.
In fact, there is little emigration from
Germany to any country The German
labor market is so strong that plenty OF

SCIENCE, THE FARMERS TEACHER
The American has received science for
his twin; hammered the features or the
face of nature; tried to analyze the es-
sence of the deity; accepted the primal
curse and made god of his business.
He has secured the key to all the pic
ture writing of the past and knows in an
hour what it took ages to learn. He has
stirred up the dead precipitate OF history
to hold in solution that he may read all
at a glance
On the farm he not only peers into
natures secrets but learns economics
as well. and in the subtle chemistry OF
the silo he turns the crude. waste fiber
of the corn into succulent feed and dou-
bles his crop, with no waste.
The farmer who succeeds must know.
and science is his teacher. d. c., in
