American Agriculture.
Although agriculture In America is
young compared with some of the Kuro-
penn and Asiatic countries, it has been
develojed to mich an extent that the
older countries look to us for Ideas and
methods to help them solve the farm
problems tliey have to meet. Our sci
entists and Investigators are among the
foremost In the world and as an agrl
cultural nation we need stand aside for
none. To bo sure, agriculture owes
many of its greatest scientific discov
erles to English, German and French
experimenters, but In aggressiveness
and practical development of ideas
America is one of the leaders.
Other nations are sending their sci
entists to America to study how we do
things here. Our country presents most
of the agricultural problems to be met
with In the countries of the old world
and we are finding out how to solve
them, and the old world wants to know
how we do It. A Japanese expert is

Keep Ahead of the Weeds.
The importance of keeping ahead of

growth in the spring weeds start up
and lead the farmer a merry chase as
long as the growing season lasts. He
must keep at them or they will get the
start and go to seed, thereby increasing
their nuni'bers many fold. "Eternal vig
hanee Is the price of liberty" in the
fight against weeds. A thoroughly j

ItreetllitK Dairy Cown.
In breeding dairy cows a man should
have a definite object in view. Too
many shift from beef to dairy when
dairy products are low, and then shift
back again from dairy to beef when
beef rises in value. Hy this method a
man is constantly shifting from one
breed to another, and as a result he is
getting a herd that is good for neither
milk nor beef. A man must have an
Ideal toward which he is breeding nnd
then Im'ihI all his energies to that end.
This shifting from one breed to another
is a suicidal policy that will ruin any

so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how

Complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with
