The father is on the lookout for farms near his own for his children. This creates a demand for farms, because first there is a farmer. The agricultural mind of this country must come to a better comprehension than it has had of this chain of causes for the decline or enrichment of a country. We must settle down practically and hard, to the conclusion that we must commence with the child if we are going to make good farmers, for without good farmers this country will soon go to destruction. There is the highest statesmanship and love of country involved in this question.

The American farmer can produce milk cheaper, if he will, than IJ)UCATION. God said "Let there be light." The average farmer of this country does uot yet squarely believe in that principle bb an aid to himself and his farm. He has too little sympathy for agricultural schools or for organized methods for a better agricultural education. This is seen in the fact that, as a class, he spends thousands of dollars to educate his children to be any farmer on earth. Yet the far mer of Holland, witn land tnat is to Fn lire Co.

It is a blessing that the man about whom they are written is dead at least that he is gone where he cannot read them.

Like every other social power and privilege it can be carried to an extent where it a-mouuts to a conspiracy against the general welfare- When that time comes the people will cope with it successfully. The American people have never been enslaved and they never will be. But there is a hint in all this combining that is going on, that the farmers should take to heart. Except in dairying, and to a small extent in fruit growing, this great lesson is utterly unheeded.

Every creamery and cheese factory could easily be made the means of a larger and more beneficial use of cooperative economics. In France over 000,000 farmers are members of supply associations through which they buy fertilizers, implements, blooded stock and sell their produce.

It is largely governed by forces and of the Democrat Printing company.
