The wonderful stride! la agricul tural science, as well as the vast in crease in the insect enemies of grow ing thing?, has both boomed and de terred farm work as a profession, so that the old time ideas of farming can not be said to bring success except in a very moderate degree. The farming of the future must be done by tue boys and girls of to-day, and we owe it to our children to give them the best pos sible chance to gain knowledge which ill help them in their life work. If the boy Is seriously Interested in agri culture, it will be a paytng Investment to give him a course in an agricultural college. If one cannot afford the full course of four years, or If the boy is not suffi ciently well educated to take this course, give him the shorter one of two years, or, better than nothing, let him take the short winter course of from ten to twelve weeks and study the particular branch in which he is Interested. You will find that his in terest in the work will be enough greater to warrant the expense. True, he may not learn a great deal in the short course, but it will be enough to open his eyes to the possibilities, and he will be placed on the right track to study and work by himself. Talk to the boy about it, and write to the agricultural college of your State for detailed information. CONVENIENT MOUSETRAP. amusing pets.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. , . It is because of the fact that SYRDP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please . to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
