FARM MANAGER is VALUABLE
Splendid Opportunity Offered for COL

The other day I ran across busi-

He was looking for manager.

This farm had many departments,
such as horse, dairy, fruit vegetables,
hogs and several others, foreman
being placed at the head of each de-
partment.
The equipment was of the best. The
buildings were scarcely to be equaled
in the state. 1t was farm on which
good work could be done.
Still. the owner did not particularly

There are hundreds of such farms
being layed every year. There would
be more but for the fact that capable
managers are not to be had.
A splendid opportunity for college

it requires men with good deal OF

1t appears reasonably certain that
the disease is not generally spread by

that the smut is spread with plows,
