Toward the cheerful home the
children gather "as clouds and

from the home which is the
abode of discontent, strife and
trouble, they fly forth as vultures
to rend their prey. The class
of men who disturb and distress
the world are not those born and
nurtured amid the hallowed in
fluence of christian homes, but
rather those whose earthly life
has been a scene of trouble and

A scientific man connected
with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture recently called at
tention to the fact that the states
of the Middle West supply a
large majority of the agricultur
al scientists of the United States.
The reason is that the states of
the Middle West are those in
which the people most thorough
ly believe that the state should
make ample provision for high
er education. ' They not only
supply the means for obtaining
advanced education in sciences
relating to agriculture, but they
have a mental atmosphere which
is encouraging young men and
women to take up the study of
these sciences. Ex.

farmers wanted to dispose of.
The buyer liked the hogs, only
they were a little light in weiglit

he had always called the hogs to
feed them, bat that he took cold

into the habit of pounding on
