Farm Advisers in IL States.

j. C. Mcdowell of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
in charge of county agents in twelve
states in the middle and northern
part of the country. OF the 40
agents in the United States, he has
the supervision of 100.
Mr.. Mcdowell said that Minneso-
ia and North Dakota lead all the
states in the Union in the number
of counties organized to promote
better farming. Missouri and Mich
igan follow closely.
The county agent" says Profess
sor Mcdowell, takes the college to
the farmer instead of waiting for
the farmer to come to the college.
Everywhere in the United States
the work has been exceptionally
successful. Yet farmers and bust
ness men must not expect too much
from the county agent. The county
agent should not be expected to be
an authority on everything pertain
ing to agriculture. At best he cen
be expected to 90 little more than
compile the vast amount of infor-
nation available in books, bulletins,
circulars and the agricultural press
and take it to the farmer that needs
it. ~ From the Modern Miller

Fruit Trees Along Roads.

The farm bureau of Houghton
county, Michigan, recently ANNOUNCE
ed project to plant fruit aud nut
trees along the roadSides of the
county's highways. A number of
residents Of the county have given
trees for this purpose.
Besides utilizing the waste land
Leo NJ Geismar, the county farm
expert says that these trees will
help to demonstrate the possibili-
ties of the community for fruit
growing These roadside orchards
may also be made object lessons
for the farmers. A county official
will be named to care for the trees
and harvest their products.
Some of the promoters of the
scheme believe that the roads may
be kept up by the proceeds derived
from the sale of the fruit and nuts
grown on these county trees. This
manner Of using the roadsides has
been used in Europe for many
years notably in Alsace, the French
province of Germany. Alsace is

Stay On the Farm.

Let no farmer boy OF this day
and generation cast his longing eyes
toward the city. There can be no
justification for a desire to leave
the farm and locate in town Aside
from the independence of the farm
er, he can today make more money
raising and feeding stock, and in
field and meadow than he could in
any business or profession afforded
in town and city. The farmer of
this generation is the most highly
favored man that the country af-
fords. He owns the bank stock, he
has the bank deposits, he is the
moneyed man of the land. The
merchant, the tradesman, the pro.
fessional man depend upon the
farmer for their living after all.
The farmer makes the wheels 90
round in every industry of the land.
And present conditions justify the
prediction that the future will see
the farmer even more prosperous

wide demand from all farming
and suburban sections of the cOun-
try. A copy can now be obtained

Washington, D. c.
This Water Supply Paper (No
'255) explains in simple language
the habits of flow Of underground
waters through different kinds of
rocks and soils, and calls attention
to the dangerous character OF many
wells whose waters are supposed to
be pure and wholesome. Water
from limestone rock especially, it
is stated, is apt to contain germs Of
typhoid or other diseases, due to the
fact that surface waters may find
their way directly into underground
channels which hive been cut out
through the dissolution of the
lime.
Methods of protection from sub
surface drainage in farming distsicts
are discussed in the rcpOrt, well
drilling methods and cost, types of
curbs and well castings with which
wells should be fitted, etc. The re-
port embraces only about so pages,
but is well Illustrated with photo
