With this object in view We have a
special representative of the Michigan
immigration department located AT
the port of entry. in the city of New
York. for the purpose Of directing de-
sirahlc immigrants from the rural
districts of Europe to the farms Of
Michigan.
Our great industrial activities in
the cities during the last two decades
have made heavy drafts upon the
rural districts and the drift Of labor
has been from the country towards
the cities. This. in addition TO tho
fact that a great many of our young
men and women have left the rural
districts and gone To the manufactur-
ing ccnters. has left the rural dis
tricts without the labor necessary TO
produce the agricultural products the
land is capable of producing. This
shifting of our population whereby
tho consumers have increased out Of
proportion to the producers, is the
main reason for the high cost Of liv-
ing.
with all the talk about the farm

East Lansing Michigan has zoo
900 farms, according to figures upon
Michigan as an agricultural state,
which have been compiled at NJ. A. c.
This fact, and others bearing upon
farm conditions in the state, has been
brought out as the result of a SyS-
tematic study of the last census, made
at the college during the past several
months. Kent county, in the number
of farms at least, is credited with be
ing the leading agricultural district.
Kent county has G,276 farms, while
Allegan, with GIT farms, ranks sec
ond. Sanilac, with 1863 farms,
places third and Saginaw stands
fourth with total Of 5,370. This
leadership, however, refers only TO
the number of farms and not to their
value. figures upon the latter and
other points are expected to be given
out later.

FOR ATTAINMENT OF OLD AGE
lAvoitanee OF Worry and Moderation Of
Diet the Main Things, Says
Or. Desc.

The &c comments on how to attain
old age are made by a writer in the
Journal of the American Medical Asso.
ciation:
THE chances of attaining old age
are much greater II we live much OF
our life In fresh country air. Stats
tics go to show, according to DR.. Dez'
so of Budapest, that the fourth gen
Grafton of the town dweller is un.
known; but enough is currently report
ed to make the conclusion inevitable
that the sine qua non Of longevity Is
q certain amount of time spent In the
country.

Der Of disturbing conditions other than
mere absence Of creature comforts
which undermine the constitution by
throwing too heavy burden on the

AS We SEE IT

The sermon of Rev. Bates at the
funeral of Mrs. +. H. Smith was u
model for funeral discourses. The
church We. crowded and ministers are
too apt to avail themselves OF the oc'
casion OF an unusually large audience
to show how long and argumentatively
they can talk. They are apt to think
of themselves and the impression OF
heir ability they can create, instead
of the dead and the Borrowing rela-
tiyes and friends. Rev. Bates did not
talk to exceed ten minutes and his re
marks were confined to the character
OF Mrs. Smith as patient, faithful
wife. n devoted mother and constan
friend"
Having said the words appropriate
to the subject and the occasion, he had
the good sense to stop-and leave the
effect Of his brief eulogy unspoiled by
tiresome repetitions and tedious cir
cumlocutions. The entire sermon
could have been.printed in less than I

Cure for Mushroom Poisoning.

A cure for mushroom poisoning dis
covered by Dr. Louis, Olivier, one Of
the most distinguished chemists OF
France, has just been presented be-
fore the Society of Comparative Path
ology. After demonstration that
mushroom poisoning destroys the red
corpuscles of the blood. he stated that
his neutralizing agent was a serum
from q sheep. The preparation was
extremely simple. He drew the blood
from a sheep and allowed 1t to coagu'
late, the liquid resulting being his
serum. This he injected into the veins
Of human being. In the country dis
tricts Of France there are annually
hundreds of serious cases of mush
room poisoning, which the society nov
hopes may be easily cured.
