The following from the Rural World expresses our sentiments so fully and so forcibly that we cannot do better than to copy it; "Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune during his lifetime wrote one thousand columns of what he knew about farming and he did not work on a farm either. Greeley was our sort of a man. He was willing to help all he could, and was honest in what he did; and if farmers who work in the field would only give the benefit of their information through the journals they wold do a great deal that would please us all. No one cares anything about fine writing in such cases. What we want is plain, com- on sense statement. We would all Ie 00 11% 11 dal.
