W. -jA. Hertry, dean VVisb'on#in Col lege of.- Agriculture, before the Iowa Corn Grower^ I want to say to these young men thit yott h,ave one of the best and grandest:'vocation^ oft earth, and the grandest Of opportunities for intellectual advancement, and above all for the enjoyment of life. I Joved ag riculture as a fcpy and I love it fts a man. 'f One reason we have been so slow in coming into an appreciation of the land is the horrible mistake of otfr gov ernment in giving away its land to those who would livfe upon it, and for a hundred years this l&nd was about the cheapest, most despised thing in our country. When you get something for nothing you may grab at it at first, but you soon drop it. It don't appeal to you ^is good and valuable land. It is only in the last few? years that we have come to prize the land and to value it, and 1 predict that all over this country there is going to go a wave of love of the land such as you see in Germany, France hnd Holland. A great many people on the farm get a little money ahe^d and then start for the town with the ^vowed intention of "starting tip in business," and prob ably they start a peam)t stand or stock a store with $700 worth of goods and call that "business!" This, farmer has made his worst mistake. Was he riot in good business on i6p acres of fertile land? Don't be ashamed of farming. Be proud of that little bit of land that you own, 110 matter what its size may be. Make up your mind to raise that mort gage from the farm, to pay all the debts, and if you don't own a farm, make up your mind to have a piece of ground some day. There is nothing like farming, with the chance for your living like a gentleman and your wife like a lady. You_ do not know of the hardships and suffering of people that jive in the city. Clerks are losing their health, pouring over books and are not get ting anywhere nearly as much salary as ypu can make on the farm, even if you want,,to go out and work by the day. I have a friend who is a banker, and I know that his life is filled with such worry and difficulty as do not come in your work. I want to urge upon you to intellcc tu&lize your work. I have been a teach er in agriculture for a great many years and I have received more honor, credit and pleasure out of it than I deserve. 1 would not change my life for any thing. I know the farm life and I know the farm people, and I have seen the brighter side of it, and that is what I want you to learn to look at. Now the farmer who simply goes out to plow and work is not going to get any fun out of it, but there is a good chance for fun in f&rm life. Get enthusiastic over your work, get interested in the different phases of the wofrk and you will begin to see farm life in a new and brighter light. Farmers sometimes complain about how much this college and these schools cost, and they have a righ'i to complain unless they get some valuf out of it, unless it pays, and that it pays, immensely canot be doubted. In our better crops we have better in comes and are more able to pay the taxes. A man taking a" glass of beer and a cigar may spend more money for these than he pays in tax for the agri cultural college, when he comes to fig ure it up. Iowa, with its vast area of good lands, ought to have the finest agricul tural college in the country, and it can have it because of the homogeneity of its people and soils, and Illinois is sit uated to have the next best. You can have such a school you are headed for it. But you have only begun to use and appreciate the products of Iowa or the ability of Iowa land to produce. Denmark, one-fourth the size of Iowa, is a striking example of what can be done. A great deal of Denmark is poor land that country supports i,200,000 people, and supports them through its agricultural products. Den mark used to be a producer of low grade butter they sent experts to Eng land to study the making of good but ter and to adopt its methods. Schools for the making of butter were established. One plan was estab lished for the scoring of butter by paid experts. Orders would be telegraphed perhaps to forty dairies to forward a tub each of butter immediately, there being no chance to prepare it any bet ter that the regular product of the re spective dairies. After scoring, any criticism for improvement that the judges wanted to make were sent to the dairy from which the butter came, aud the result of this system continued was a greatly improved product. The government pain full price for the butter, and sold it for what they could get after the samples had run into th* butter losing the difference. This pl^ji of scoring the butter costs he government of Denmark $10,coo per year. The butter is put on the market with the name of the maker, the lat e of making und the quality stamped upon it. Now Denmark makes no poor btttter, and she experts 25,000, 060 pounds annually, and Denmark is only one-fourth the size of Iowa. Den mark. has been farmed every year since befofe Christ's time. ,, Denmark next tobk up pork, and spent $50,000 in learning the way to produce the best bacon. Now the, rating for pork countries is as follows: Ireland, first Denmark, second Can ada. third United States, fourth. Den mark today exports about $15,000,000 worth of pork products., Then tne government. $1 Jftenmark \,» 4 i x. n V ^=5*" ::^r^hHi FARGO Jic 'tiTttiiaX.-fj'-. '-'. 7-&-.

What To Dow There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

When Home of swamp-noot writing mention this paper and don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Rodt, aud the address, Binghamton, N. Y. interested the farmers in studying egg production. The farmers formed egg syndicates and sent their eggs to mar ket with the name of tlie producer and the date the egg was laid stamped upon each egg. and the eggs were sorted into large and small, white and brown grades. The United States exports about $500,000 worth of eggs each year Denmark exports nearly $5,000,000 worth, and yet is only about one fourth as large as Iowa. The total of agricultural exports in the United States is about $800,000,oco, or $11 per capita, while Denmark's export of ag ricultural products is $33 per capita. When you stop to think of 'these fig ures and this comparison and the grand work that Denmark is doing, does it not show yon the great oppor tunities that lie before you and the great work that is still to be done by our agricultural colleges all over the country? It shows us that tllere is st?ll vastly more to be got out of our soil than we eVer dreamed of. and I want to congratulate you upon having taken the right course to bring about tlie change. i Young men, if you don't love the farm don't like agriculture, don't st?y there, but if you do put your whole soil and heart into your wprk and vtaHe pride and enjoyment ivy producing^tl|e best ear of corn, the best crop. .Ute finest stock of any people around yoti, have a reputation in your neighbor hood for being a good farmer.

A dealer told me recently that he was selling a large number of bath tubs to the farmers. One farmer that I know of has got an old gasoline en gine, and with that engine he runs a huskcr, a feed cutter, a wood saw, pumps water, forces water tip into the house, where it goes to the bath tub and down .into the kitchen, runs his wife's washing machine and ironing machine, and does all this with his en gine.

He fol lowed the blood trail, hopeful of a ihort search and a speedy bag. At one totht of the pursuit it may be that the trail grew faint and necessitated a Closer Inspection.

Pound ABOUT BUILDING BRICKS Development of Brick Making In This Stat#* New Prociii Brick* at Devils Lake. Bricks are being nlade in England of clean sand and ground qukklirhc. They are said to be a substantial as granite, and to cost only $2.50 per 1.000. The inventor of the process for making them. L. P. Ford, Gresford, Eng.. states that the ingredients are mixed in proper proportions mechanically and forced by a screw into a mold formed 6f a very strong steel cylinder. After the mold is filled it is placed in a box and the air it contains is sucked out by an air pump. Hot water is then admitted. The water rushes into every minute sp^ce and sets the particles of lime to slacking. The lime swells and causes a great pressure in the mold, while'-at tHe1 same time an intense heat is produced. Under the influence of the heat and pressure the sand and lime are molded into )a rock wliteh has 660 per cent as much strength as the hardest granite. It is ready for use in eight hours. The secret of Mr. Ford's success is said to lie in his use of a cylinder mold. Others who tried to make silicate of lime building stone used square molds. Th'py did not get an even distribution of the infernal arid external strains, and the stone pro duced was full of cracks. John Miller and Nels Erickson. of the Devils Lake Petrified Brick Co., have been in Minneapolis, according to The Improvement Bulletin, with a view to forming a local company, to engage in the manufacture of a new process brick which they have made very suc cessfully at Devils Lake. It is com posed of sand, cement and chemical, in a dry process, water being used after ward to complete the work. The result is a hard symmetrical brick, which can be made in any color, shape or design. The Great Northern railway recently conducted Some tests on these brick. A brick six months old withstood a seventy-toll' crushing test, while one of eighteen months withstood 160 toils. The school of science of Toronto states that these brick will continue to harden for nine years. They can be made cheaply. Rock can also be made under the same general process. They have been successfully used in the city hall at Devils Lake and elsewhere. C. S. Bowser, of New Salem, ex pects to make a few brick at that place in the spring and then go to Ricnard ton. Stark County, and make up an or der of 600.000 to 700.000 brick for the Catholic Church. The society will lay the foundation only this year, and will veneer one building. 40x120x22. Mr. Bowser will make a repress brick for the veneer and outside work. The Menomonie Hydraulic-Press Brick Co.. secured the contract to furnish 80,oco pressed brick for the Catholic Church at Mandan.
