EDUCATION FOR THE FARMER Department of Agriculture Distributes Thousands of Publicauons on Modern Method);. Men who were farmers fifteen years ago. but who have become city busi ness mon, would find a vast change In the methods of tilling the soil and raising crops were they to retun. to ?heir original way of earning a liveli hood. Farming methods have under done a wonderful transformation. Many labor-saving devices have been 'nvented, new ways of dealing with -parasites have been discovered, in tensive farming is in vogue, and fhe sys: em of rotating crops is In force. The farmer cf fifteen years ago would find today that planting and growing and doctoring are on a more scientific basis, and that profits are more cer tain and regular. While the knowl edge of successful experiments was circulated from farmer by word of mouth in the old days, new education al forces are now at work, says the Washington Post. Probably the great est of these is the department of ag riculture. From a statement JUP*. Is sued, lt appears that nearly 200,000, 000 publications of all kinds have been printed and distributed since Secre tary Wilson assumed control. More than half that number has been cir culated in the last five yearn. Four hundred and fifty different pamphlets, discussing subjects of special interest to farmers and expressed in terms un derstood by all, have been Issued, and $4.000.'?00 copies have been placed i TI the hands of applicants, mostly farm ers. who had need of the Information they contained; and nf these more than 39.GOO.CnO were distributed with in the last five yen rs. The magnitud* of this work of disseminating the in formation PO earnestly sought and so carefully verified is only measurable by the immense advance of scientific agricultural knowledge and practice by the progressive farmers of the country, lt has cost many thousands of dollars to issue all the pamphlet! and documents of various kinds, btr Inasmuch as millions of dei la rs havi bf cn Baved to the farmers, the invest ment has been a very profit ?ule one. Better Pastures. A little observation will prove to any one that a great change for the better might be made in the pastures of this country. There are many farmer? who are not getting what they ought to from this part of their ?and. One of the worst features about the pas ture is the uso which many are male ing of th.e feed by feeding hoiking but poor cattle. Difference in Butter.

PROGRESSIVENESS IN SOTTrt Dr. Maurie? F. Egan, Minister tai Denmark, Relate His Views of the ' Farmer? of Dixie. A new -solution for the high cost off living problem hoe been found* by Dr.; Maurice Francia Egan, American mte iater to Denmark, after a month's] Journey through the Eouth. Mr. Egan) waa Invited to make the trip by tfcet Southern Commercial Congress, tai order to lecture on farming in "Dixie."1 Mr. Egan's opinion of tb? farmer] of the states he visited is not very! flattering, but he declares that they* are rapidly advancing, and In th? course of time "will be on a par, Inj so far as efficient conservation off crops ls concerned, with the ruralitesj of Denmark." To a newspaper repren sentative Mr. Egan said: i *The Dauish farmers are an inteUi-' gent class of persons and devote all their timo to close study of their soil) and how to improve its Income. Theyi are all members of the Co-operative Society, which, to my mind, is tho solution of the high cost of living problem. Such a society does away* absolutely with the middleman, and: In addition to reducing the price of1 the commodity to the consumer, yields a larger profit to the producer. "Denmark is^ purely an agricultural country. There are no industries and no minerals, therefore, the people must turn their attention to earn their living by agricultural pursuits. They nave their choice between conserving heir soil and emigrating, and they have chosen the former with all the patriotism worthy of good Danes. "An opinion I formed on my trip may surprise the majority of your -eaders, but I am convinced that It is i fact. I believe that the farming p.puntry of the southern states fe more adapted to the production of butter, "egf? unrf hnpon than ft ls for tho rals !ng of cotton and tobacco. "Denmark farmers get every inch of fertility out "of their soil, while American farmers do not. One Mis-i sissippi fnrmer told me that he had1 exhausted' three farms, and would* igaln move as soon ns the one he is now tilling is exhausted. Dermark 'armers are educated and do not 'ex haust" their soil. They believe Int rotation of crops. A specialist visits each f.irmer every eighteen months and explains the workings of th? farm. "The southern farmers are showing a great Interest in conservation, and ire becoming more open-minded. They are ever ready to receive sug gestions which will enable them to profit most., and should be. It 1? bathetic to note that these men. who live cn the most beautiful and fertile1 soil In the world, do not realize their advantages. There the cattle could .--raze al! the year round. As it is, the feeding of live stock is much neg lected. "The key that will release them from their handicap ls found In tho co-operktive system and education." Assurance of Farm. There ls nothing like the farm when hard times come knocking at tho door. There may not be much mcney going in seasons of stress, but there is always the assurance of a full table, a roof over one's head and no fear of an evicting landlord. . Poor Citizen. The man who provides himself with everything new and useful In the way of labor-saving machinery may be a good farmer but he is a poor citizen and falls far short of his duty if he fails to provide equal facilities to help his wife in her share of the work. Thinker I? a Winner. The farmer may not have as much time to read as would be good for him. but he Las plenty of time to think. Ana the thinking farmer, tl he thinks along rieht lines and backs his thought with his muscle, is a sure thing winner. Co-operation. Economy may also be practleed by several poultrymen in one locality co-operating and buying their grain in cnrload or half carload lots, direct from the miller: in this way saving the profits of the local grain dealer. . Kindness Never Lost. Kindness to animals as well as to humans is never lost. It ennobles th?v nature of the giver, whether there bn an immediate or a visible return or not. Usually It does Its work unseen? Advantage of Co-Operation. i One advantage of co-operative dalry improvement associations, says Prof. Hayden, is thnt proved bulls can To t passed from one herd to another. An other ls that money can bo saved by co-operative advertising.
