In the next place comes the educa- ; sion necessary to success. It has been admit ed in the past, although ' :uOt true, and I am happy to sey not? acknowledged now, that a farmer j ”does not require a. good education} It is often remarked that farmers are the bone and sinew of the land, bone and sinew they will forever remain nndnever be anything else. Without education. All hiStory illuscrates a supreme law that mind rules muscle find every farmer who educates and develops only his muscles, and not his mind must necessarily occupy an . inferior position socially. mentally and'also financially. Don’t compare 1 “your father’s education (and he was? successful) with the requirements of the present age. You may as well compare the ox sleigh and jumper to 'the railway train and the triangular harrow made out of 'a. crotched tree- top. to the drill. CircumStances and conditions have all changed We 'live as it were in another world and if the farmer keeps not abreast with the improvements and also the lll ‘telligence of the age, he will sink down into a mere beset of burden, ‘nnd instead of making the world better by the exercise of superior intelligence his success in life must wholly depend upon the brute fore.» efa highly developed bone, muscle end sinew. a. common school education to start ‘.thb a mind inspired with a lhllSl for knowledge. a mind ever open (on conviCuon, not prejudice. 0 var lear :1- mg and testing and applymg the principles tum. are learned.

This is just as impurtzuit as the ether Iwo essentials. It belongs to the family inepn-ed by divinity, and I cannot do better than group them: three, since thry are all of Divine origin, and just. call them triplets. that you‘ buy one book treating on some branch of agriculture each year. This is not an exxr‘avagant request. In foxir to five years you will possess a little libraryyf which vou will be proud, and if properly used, you will in that short period. be like Saul, head and should. rs above your fel- lows. I ask you go begin now if you have not done so already, with C. C. James’ hook on Agriculture, 200 pages, price 25 cents only, a veritable mine of knowledge, written so plain- ly that. a child can undersmnd it, treating of the plant. soil and crops of the field, the garden and orchard, weeds, inseccs and diseases of plants, live Stock and dairy, bees, birds, forestry and roads. And don’t for gap to be a yearly subscriber for some agricultural paper. For successful farming, epqnpmy of the household is not less import- ant than of the farm. if there is no thrifty and judicious management of matters within the house, it will avail little for the success and profit. of any farming enterprise to build Suitable barns and sheds, select. good cows and Stock, and properly feed them. or cultixmte the farm with judgment aud industry.
