considerable regret that he is stating fact.
And after all, at what other conclusion could
the average farmer arrive, when his life and

only from what he observes. Besides, in

agents of disease have been discovered 1t

and by perpetuating them in the minds of
the public inhibit progress in the prevention
of disease.
But the telephone, the rural mails, and the

vision. All people thinking more, and
the farmer especially. And the thinking
farmer is beginning to things masse
