Geer tells of a farmer who once said: "I don't believe in your book learning, study and all that; I'd lather learn by experience." He did. That man a couple of years later lost out as a farmer and moved to town, where hs made a very poor living working by the day and doubtless working for men who stud ied and read and thought about their business, and applied in it, as far as practicable, that which they had learned from books, periodicals and the experi ence of others given therein. It is the men who read; the men who study; the thoughtful men who support the farm journals. They are the men who read books and papers on agriculture, fruitgrowing, poultry cult ure and bee-keeping. They are the men who stand in the front rank; the leaders in their respective com munities. These men have found that it pays to read and study on any subject in which they are in terested and' apply their knowledge in their everyday work. 0ME5TEAD is published for this class of farmers and stock rais ers.
