" REAL GHKER IN AGRICULTUHE
^ h Higher Dignity For Tho Qroot Bual\
nooo of Farmsra.
"* ???
Clomson College, ?"As a man
Alpketh in his heart, oo la ho". So
pooka Holy Scripture, end all experience
confirms Ho truth.
Tho moot important consideration,
feorefore, for the farmer is hio attitude
toward his farm., What doeo he think
about it,?what does he think about
Tanning? Does he love his fields and j
wooes zuocm nis ey? rest witn peculiar
fondness on his sleek mules and fat
tattle? Does he feel la his eery soul
that farming is a high calling, the only
rotation for him? Or does he rata*
Colds and woods and cattle In terms
merely of money? Will he sell them all
tor a price, and gladly turn away from
them forever? Is he & fanner by chance
or by choice? Has he simply "inherited'*
a farm? Is he a farmer because ha
knows no Other way of "making s Tiring,"
because it may seem to him the
easiest, most independent life? Has he
looked the world and its businesses la
?. the faoe, and deliberately decided that,
as for him, the plow and the fresh
earth upturned, and the growing plant
have charms above all?
Before any further real progress cam
be made in the development of otbr
country life,that country life must be
saturated with love of the country.
Many more farmers there must hey
whose determination to stay onv the
farm is quite as fixed aa their determlar
f ation to win success, and comfort ahd
happiness, for themselves and their
fatafilies, by means of their fanning.
. Bach farmers will not be bribed by a
sudden rise in the prices of farm lends
to "soil out" and move to a neighbor*
Ing town. They will not bo driven away
, by labor troubles. They may aell a part
oC their holdings, but they will still
cilhg to the soil. By the use of modern
machinery in the home and on the
farm, they will so multiply personal
" efficiency as to reduce greatly the number
of laborers, and Increase the output
of all who work. Theoe farmers will bo .
fully persuaded in their own minds;
that they above men In other callings,
hare opporunity to raise strong healthy
children. They will appreciate at their
true worth, the breese blowing dear
and pure over the wheat, the sight of
cattle on the hill feeding slowly home*
ward, the run la the woods after nuts,
for the children's growth, both of body
and mind. Who but the farmer eaa
furnish in abundance to his children,
> clepn milk, fresh eggs, tender vegetable*,
home-raised bread and meat? Hie
medical records of the/Selective Draft
y Board .have Just revealed the* the
hsflthteet soup in the Unltsd States la
from North to South, practically co*
secret^ of the stronger. healthier
young men?
"Breed** la the universal human cry.
Only tiie farmer can furnish It. No
other occupation fills so fundamental
a need. Preacher, lawyer, doctor, merchant,
manufacturer, banker,?we can
not do without them, but their importance
to society is less than the farmer's.
The first occupation both in point
of time and point of logic is farming.
And the' farmer, the real farmer, wtll
realise that he is, under God, the die
penser of the bounties of Nature to his
hungry fellowmen. He will raise his
profession aooordlngly.
The ^ery practice o? the art ol
farming affords opportunity te
the farmer to grow to the full,
mentally and spiritually. He la
not dependent on men and things
an other men are. He is dependent
en cloud and sunshine, en the hidden
processes of life; that is. ha is dependant
on the wisdom, power and goodness
of God. He ought to be a better man
dor it. Just beoauee the farm glrea this
opportunity for cdoaor relationship with
the Lord of life, there is a higher dip
nty about this business than wa haws
oemmonly accorded it. We hare looked
a# Hta illWv fttenil anit Kha hoti ha Mr
and we bare called the fanner uncouth
and hie profession unclean. The world
has taught htm te despise his work end
4. himself. It admires the skill of the
great surgeon, but forgets the years
he spent in the grbesome work of the
dimecting-poom. It praises the artist
who sings a song, or writes a story, or
paints a plcturb, but the artist who
gave us our breeds 6f.cattle, or strains
of wheat or corn, our improved methods
of tillage, are almost' unknown.
Yet their reward la with them. In the
quiet, even In the obscurity of their
farms, they so lived and worked that
mankind^ Is perpetually -their debtor.
Your fanning holds the possibility
of such a career for you.

PUCE STATUES AT GRAVES
Poepte of Budapest Nave Odd Methods
f Perpetuating the Niwmory ef
the Dead.
While all civilised nations either
bury their dead or place them id vaults
or mausoleums, there la a curious custom
carried out by the people of Budapest
This is found in the large cemetery
In that city which is known as
the Kfrepeal Koslmero, where nearly
every family In Budapest buries Its
dead. \ It Is very large and contains
a number of handsome monuments, especially
the one to Kossuth, who is
known as the George Washington of
Hungary.
The visitor to that city of the dead
will And at the grave a photograph,
painting or statue of the person who Is
burled beneath each stone, an exchange
states. When the family Is wealthy
there Is the bust or a recumbent figure
of the dead man or woman made from
his or her latest picture, while beside It
sits or stands the statue of the nearest
living relative, man or woman, carved
from life.
In some Instances the figures of
several living members of s family sit
beside the grave of a parent. But
perhaps the most Interesting of all are
pictures embedded In the gravestones
covered with glass and thus protected
from the weather.
8till another peculiarity Is the bronze
or Iron lamp posts on the graves and
the huge silver balls s?t?up on many.
The latter are like the colored glass
balls used upon our Christmas trees,
except they are always silvered and
much larger. There seems to be no
way of lighting the lamps, and the
only Inference Is that they are used to
light the dead to heaven or where
candles may be placed when relatives
or friends are offering prayers for the
dead.
HISTORY NOT MERE RECORD
Writer, to Set It Down Successfully,
Must Use His Constructive
Imagination.
There Is no commoner cause of hi*torical
misjudgment than the tendency
to read the events of the past
too exclusively In the light of the
present, and so twist the cold and unconscious
record Into the training
service of controversial politics. And
yet history is inevitably to a great extent
a work of the Imagination. No
good historian is content merely to repeat
the record of the past. He hns
to understand It, to see behind vlt, to
find more in It than It actually say a
He cannot understand without the use
of bis constructive imagination, and
he cannot imagine effectively without
the use of his experience. I believe
|l Is one of the marled of a
great historian to see both present and
as if it were now proceeding before
him, and envisage the present much
In the same perspective as it will benr
When it is as one chanter, m est m?n?
pages, in the great volume of the past.
We know In Gibbon's case how
much the historian of the Roman empire
learnt from the captain of the
Hampshire grenadiers. And It would
surely be folly to tell a man who had
lived through the French or Russian
revolution to forget his own experience
when he came to treat of similar
events vln history?Gilbert Murray.
Piece of Ancient Meteor.
Meteorites o'f indicated great age are
conspicuous by their absence from museum
collections, and it is suggested
tbot such specimens may disintegrate
and disappear from the rocks within
a relatively short time after falling.
The British museum, however, has lately
acquired a slice of somewhat less
than a pound from a meteoric iron
that Is believed to represent an ancient
fall. The slice is from one of two similar
masses that were found in January.
190G, within a few miles of Dawson,
Klondike, and that from their
position deep In the oldest gravels of
the district are thought to have rested
there since the Pliocene age or before.
From his study of the original specimens
In the.. Museum of the Geological
Survey at Ottawa', R. A. A. Johnson
concluded that they are part of
a single - meteoric shower of Tertiary
time.
Dust Is Very Dangerous.
All kinds of dust form dangers to
human beings. Not only does dust exercise
a direct harmful Influence on
the tissues of the organism, but It is
the chief transporting agent of germs
of infection and contagion.
Dust Is composed of infinitesimal
particles of street mud and of refuse
of every description which lies on the
surface of the soil.
