THE CALL For FARMERS.

(From the St Louis Globe Democrat)
Every effort is being made to induce
farmers to take up live stock growing rs
the most profitable form OF agriculture,
This includes the culture OF alfalfa. crop
rotation use Of fertilizers, feeding crops
to animals instead of selling them, and a
return to the soil of the elements taken
from it in the growing of crops, This
sort of farming is being fully, carefully
and persistently explained to the farm
ers by the agricultural press, by bulletins,
by lectures, by demonstration farms. by
exhibits and in every possible way to
reach the ears and the intelligence of
those who are pursuing the old and
wasteful methods and declaring that
farming no longer pays Especially are
they being urged to replace scrub cattle,
both for dairy and beef, by grading them
up with pure blood sires and carefully
saving the good cows from slaughter. 1t

STATE BIOLOGIST RETURNS
Prof. George II. Perkins Back
from Long Canadian Tour.
HIS Party overwhelmed with Hospi-
tally In Northwcst--Atteudc In
ternatioaaI Congress of Sci
cntists at Ontario.

Prof. George H. Perkins has returned
from an extended tour through the Cana
dian northwest, with a party of over 100
biologists He went first to the Interna
tional Congress Of Biologists. which was
held at Toronto, Ontario, from August
7 to ia at which about 800 biologists con-
vcned. There were representatives from
20 nations thore. After this convention
about 100 Of the biologists made a tour,
partly by the Canadian Pacific railroad
and partly by water to Victoria, Canada.
Professor Perkins says tho accommo-
dations on that railroad are superb and
thinks them better than Pullmans on the
eastern roads They had two dining cars
and SIX sleepers for their exclusive use
on the trip.
He speaks in high praise or the hospi-
tally Of the western people. At the con
vention they were taken out FOR automo-
bile tours in the afternoons and enter
tanned at the country clubs and elsewhere
other evenings. Everywhere the people
were cordial but at the same time defer
entail and courteous.
On their trip they were so overwhelmed
with hospitality that they found It diff
cult 10 attend to their duties M geological
experts. Yet they did examine the old
rock foundation that everywhere abounds
in that locality and many OF tho Euro
pean goologists sent home large collec-
lions Of stone. Professor Perkins did not
bring as many specimens as he might
otherwise have done had not the muse
ums and cabinets both at the University
of Vermont and ut the state House been
filed practically to the limit.
They Visited many places of interest
and all Joined In praisinG the beauties OF
the country
Professor Perkins will resume his du-
ties as professor OF geology and allied
subjects ut the University of Vermont
when college opens and he says all ind-
cations point to a highly successful col
lege year.

BOYS IN TOWN AND COUNTRY.

The story now going the rounds about
a CHICAGO father who gave up lucra-
tive business in order to live on a farm
for the sake of his boy is full OF mean
ing. The father believed that he could
not prevent the perdition of his son If
he continued to live in the city. The boy
was teetcring on the brink OF ruin, to
be safer on a farm, he fled with him to
that haven of refuge. Whether he rea-
soned correctly or not is a question.
In the city, unless modern methods of
salvation have been adopted boys run
in street gangs and the chances are
heavy that they vii learn and practice
all sorts of vicious habits from gam
bling to voting for the local Tammany
Hall. They pick pockets. acquire de-
prayed personal tastes and become enc
mics to organized society. on the other
hand, the country is not morally impec-
cable by any means. Opportunities for
vice are not so common as in the city
but probably they are quite as dill
gently improved Country boys have
not the elegant manners OF their city
cousins, but they learn many undesirable
things as soon as they can walk and
seldom neglect to apply their knowledge
i'm daily conduct.
More has been done in the city than
in the country to redeem the growing
boy. Public Fairgrounds, the resources
Of the Y. NJ. G. A, clubs like the Boy
Scouts and many other devices help to
break the spell of evil associations and
keep him in the way he should go. In
the country there is very LITTLE holm for
