J. S. BURNS was born February 22, 1847, on the farm he now owns, near 

 Clinton, Pa. His father died when he was seven years old, and from that 

 time until he was twenty-one he worked upon the farm as hired help, re- 

 ceiving- his board and clothing, and attending the public schools in the winter. 

 His education received a brief finish in LInnean Academy, at Clinton. He 

 was married when twenty-one, and soon after bought out the other heirs, 

 and from the farm made the money that eventually paid for it. He has kept 

 strict account of every item of income and expense since he was twenty-one 

 years old, and to this habit of careful accounting he attributes much of his 

 success. He has had large experience in the breeding and care of all lines 

 of farm stock; but during recent years has given more special attention to 

 the breeding of Poland-China swine, and raising mutton lambs, together 

 with the growing of all the different crops usually raised on a western Penn- 

 sylvania farm. He has had considerable experience as a correspondent upon 

 agricultural topics, and for a number of years has taken an active pait in 

 the institute worlc of this State.

GEORGE C. BUTZ was born in 1863, in New Castle, Pa.; his father was a nur- 

 seryman and florist. His education consisted of a common, though excel- 

 lent, public school and later of a course through high school. After this 

 he was graduated from the Pennsylvania State College, in the class of '83. 

 This was followed by post-graduate studies, and two years' experience in the 

 fruit districts of Southern California. Since 1887 he has had charge of the 

 Horticultural work at the Pennsylvania State College and the State Experi- 

 ment Station. For the past four years he has been one of the regular lec- 

 turers upon the State institute force.
