French and English troops IL left

toward the Yanks. he said.
German Women Advance.
German women have played an
interesting part in the republic
since the revolution, according to
the Ambassador. They have full
suffrage, on the same terms as the
men, are members of the parties
and hold government office. There
is an Increasing number of women
in attendance at the great univer-
stiles" he pointed out. since the
war. Although the higher institu-

open to women. they seldom exer-

That is not so now. We have
women ministers, many women ply
sicians and surgeons. and a grow

Americans are quite used to them
are you not?'
The German Ambassador brought
with him no such retinue as attend
ed the pre-war emissaries. He came
alone, availing himself merely OF

SCIENCE ON FARM
Agrlculturist Of Today Must
Know Business Thoroughly.
Canadian TiIiers Of the Soil Have
Proved That Old Days Of Hap.
hazard Methods Have Gone.

Agriculture In Canada has the sta
tus Of a profession which both its high
standard of operation and the prime
place 1t occupies in national life justi-
~. The days when land was casually
nied on and farmed without any in
telligent understanding of agricultural
processes are going with the dwsndling
availability of the land, and rapidly
passing is the epoch of the deStruc-
ton of soil values, and the abandon
ment OF farms which have been rem
dered unprOductlve. Clearer and clear
er has become the realization that
farming Is a specialized profession re-
quiring special training. and in the
place Of this spoliation there is an
intelligent system Of crop rotation,
preservation of the virtue of the land,
a discovery Of the nobility of the
farmers calling and a determination
to secure and achieve the best pos
sible In everything.
The Education of the Farmer.
Agricultural colleges, experimental
farms, government literature, railway
propaganda, all in an appreciation OF
the national benefits which accrue.
contribute to the education of the
farmer who, If he starts out In igno-
rance, speedily discovers the futility
and protitlessness of continuing In
this state. II is only of comparatively
recent years that farming in Canada
has become the comprehensive and ex-
haustive study it is and its teuets
been so widely absorbed, and older
farmers who have followed haphazard
methods or systems scientifically I'M
sound are gradually forced from neces-
sity into an intelligent study and ap-
~plication of their profession.
This brings US 10 the city man who
Is anxious 10 leave his old life for the
greater freedom OF the country and
take a farm for himself, and. the fore
going holding good, he need not follow
far behind the older farmer If he take
