along.
Some OF the best brains in the
country, some OF the best educated
men, the ablest men in the land, are
today engaged in agriculture. 1t is a
brainy business: 1t is d big and COM
plicated science. No young man Of
big capital need hesitate nor be
ashamed to choose this business for
his life work. And 1t is wholesome,
and 1t is clean and interesting when
you once get interested in it, begin to
study It and apply the study to it.

letter / intended to put a sort OF state
fair issue of this little department.
but as | stated, / didn't finish SO YOU.
reader, lost the state fair issue. How
ever, / believe it pays to visit fairs
and to try an exhibit at them If 8
can. There's pleasure in it and also
profit. because an effort in the right
line is never lost; this is a law in the
natural world, and these same laws
hold good in higher realms. Suppos-
ing your exhibit fails to attract much
attention, fails to win a ribbon: 8
hayes tried. you will learn valuable
things, and failure is no disgrace. it's
not TO try that is a disgrace, mister.
and You'll win, positively will win. if
you keep up trying i~ntelligently. And
visit the fairs even if you do not ex-
Ihlbft. It will pay in pleasure and
profit. Here you can see machines
that are to you and perhaps
something that you need and want.
Here you will e farm produce, etc.
outside of stock, you can compare it
TO yours at home. Also the women
and children will soon learn, many
times, sooner than father to note
Things. And you owe it to them and
TO yourself to drop the work once IN
a while and go somewhere. Many a
hard working woman with sublime
fidelity n patience has been worn:
out not by the work SO much as by
the never laying of" and going some
where. Many a farmers boy and girl
have quit the farm and gone to the
city mainly because Of the same rea-
son and many a farmer himself has
lost his in~terestsin life and cash be-
sides because OF eve laying on
or going somewhere.
Likewise / believe it pays to. attend
public sales, farm sales, whenever.
they are reasonably neal you. You
have the time Oh, you meet people,
you learn values, you may have "a
chance to buy ata great bargain.
Take along the wife when you can and
the children, too. Let them bid on
something, especially the children. 1t
teaches them confidence and ability
to do business.
[ Intended to. mention that l met
Mr.. Cykendall, / believe the name, Of
the Dakota Farmer, a very bright and
agreeable young gentleman.
For our boys / will say that the
other night / watched a calf chew her
cud. You know 1T was said OF Mr..
w. b. Gladstone (Do youaknow who
he was?) that he chewed every
mouthful OF food thirty times; that
Is, made than many motions Of his
jaw for each mouthful Of food. That's
likely more than the most OF us do
but not more than we ought to. We
would all be quite a good deal better
on IL we masticated our food much
more than we do. Well, Miss Cali
chewed n cud 45 times, one cud 4s
times, one cud 81 times, one So times
one IS times, and then the next one
only 10 times. After this quite 1
time elapsed before one came up
This one she chewed Al times. Their
