Noah was an ordinary farm- | er and stock raiser on Lamech's plains, | until he took up carpentry and navi- | gation as .a hobby, and became re- nowned for the rest of time. Emer- | son was a very good U nitarian | preacher, but his esgays, written as a | side line, were so successful that high | school students have had to stuay| them ever since. In So it is with W. S, Cersa, of White Hall, Illinois. Gregory Farm, com- | a thousand acres of fertile | northern IHinois land, was devoted to | diversified farming, and produced great yields of corn, alfalfa, wheat and other crops. But it was in connéc- tion with Mr. Corsa's hobby, stock breeding, that Gregory Farm iid. renowed the country over. The first time that $10,000 was el paid for a stallion, W. S_ Corsa paid it | fot Carnot 66666 in 1910. That was | a big sum, and the world held its | breath, but in 1916 Mr.' Corsa sold a | half interest in Carnot for $20,000. | Forty thousand silver dollars stacked | up on the scales will weigh 2:357 | pounds, and Carnot would require one of his foals beside him to equal the weight of silver he is worth, Gregory Farm is famous, too, for its Berkshires. The Masterpiece fam- ily, founded a few years ago by Mas- terpiece 77000, has brought home to Gregory Farm since 1909, 139 first prizes, 41 championships ,and 20 grand championships, to say nothing of num- erous lesser honors. Mr, Corsa fur- nished the live stock world another shiver when he sold Star Masterpiece if recently for fifty-five, hundred simo- | hans, Cholera, the frightful enemy of the hog raiser (took such a heavy 'toll from Gregory Farm that it resulted in the establishment of Gregory arm germ and virus laboratory This H laboratory i is under federal inspection, and its experiments, investigations, and serum manufacture are as impor- tant for every farmer as they are for W. 8. Corsa--Harvester World. ptm cotininl R Dairy Herds. A report made public by Clyde L. King, of the University of Pennsyi- vania, sets forth that milk has not risen in any degree proportionate to the rise in other foods; that it would be a cheap form of nourishment at fifteen cents a quart and over; and that the low rates. coupled with high Ptices of feed and help. are driving if armers to dispose of their herds. .

"If one has drained his land, and plowed®it, and fertilized it and plant ed it, and harvested it--even though it be only a few acres--how he comes to know and to love every rod of it. He knows the wet spots and the dry spots ,the warmest and most fertile spots, until his acres have all- the qualities of a personality, whose every characteristic he knows. Of all the places in the world where lite can be lived to its fullest and freest where it can be met in its greatest variety and beaatty, I am convinced that there 1s none to equal the open country, or the country town." For all country people in 'these days may have the city some city or town not too far away; but there are millions of men and women in America who have no country and np sense of the cc untry.
