It deals not only with the farm but more especially with the farmer. Its columns are devoted to subjects involving litera­ ture and science, and its aims are tor the - promotion and elevation of the social and economic condition of the farmer and bis family. The Rural advocates physical culture and mannal training as well as intellectual- endowment. It be­ lieves that the State owes to the citizen the right to such an education as shall fit him for a self-reliant citizenship, and that our public school system should be enlarged along the more practical lines. In short, the Rural is a fireside compan­ ion as well as a helper in the affairs of farm life. Subscription price $1.50 per year.
