Ilia theme was Industrial Education in a Prairie He emphasized the growing demand for light on topics pertaining to farm Mr. Andrews cited the action of congress in passing laws to aid the farmer and of the various and tests of grains in different states, as a result of which the agricultural section received much benefit. As indicating the stupendous value nt agriculture the speaker cited that in the last government year hook one item of the wealth was 000,000 worth of dairy products. No farm crop brings this sum corn. The meat industry does not.

The dairy product, cited combined with the value of dairy cows. $482,000,000, reaches a total of $1,14 7, nfiO.OOO more than ttll the meat cattle of the land are worHi together with hogs and sheep.

He continued resources that promise and are beginning to effect this deliver- a nee are two the importation and jho breeding of drought defying seeds and crops and water hoarding and water holding methods of culture for short.

The effective diffusion of new ideas quires living advocates. Farmers institutes send out capable and earnest, speakers like the apostles of old. Agricultural and other papers expound, discuss and exhort. State and county fairs are held. Demonstrations are conducted to induce the doing of what well Informed farmers know they should do.

Model farms and creameries are run, model creatures and herds reared, profitable feeding explained and preached about, animals fitted for and shown in the ring. states make it a part of the station's duties to inspect fertilizers and feedstuff Some extend the surveillance to human foods, and a few add veterinary and horticultural oversight. This activity, protecting from swindlers, helps experts get a hearing. Fertilizer information itself awakens many. Telling Lesson in Bumper Crop.

Slender results appear as yet, but all possible efforts are making to render the instruction fruitful. 1 more is doing by the school of agricult arried on at the uni versitv for students of academy grade. The course, covering three ears while including chemistry, physics, civics and history, and emphasizing English, mainly embraces subjects directly' related to agvicnl- tire. Instruction methods are of the best.

Laboratory work is prominent. Specimen! animals of the various breeds and types are brought before whole classes in the pavilion, lectured upon, and judged by the score card. reject some of reasonings in Mr. James J. Hill's Minnesota state fair address.

The outlook is less dark than he paints. Lumbering and mining aie not so near th end. as 1 think a little discussion might show. But the tenor of that address, Mr. castigation of couniry for still lingering apathy toward agri- ulture and his solemn appeal for reform is as just as it is eloquent.

and encouraging as our propaganda for agricultural enlightenment is, ii is only beginning to succeed In agriculture as in medicine, knowledge far outruns practice. The expert agriculturist, the up to date physician, finds patients callous, often more so in proportion to their need. The great, desideratum of agricultural education to day is missionary methods and enterprise. We slit! know ali too little, yet. could we bring farmers to live up to their best available light they would speedily become the wealthiest of men.
