life problems, garden irrigation, dairy 

 barn construction, apple culture in 

 Pennsylvania, music for the farm 

 home, peach culture, harness and sad- 

 dle horses, meadows and pastures, po- 

 tatoes and potato diseases and many 

 others. It was only possible to hear a 

 part of them, and one had to take his 

 choice. Many of the lectures were re- 

 peated, so that if one did not get them 

 at one period there was a chance to 

 get them later. For one whole week 

 they were being delivered and it was 

 remarkable the interest shown in them 

 and the attendance. 



The cost of attending is light, as $25 

 will pay all expenses for the week's 

 outing. The information gained is in- 

 valuable and the rest and change from 

 one's labors is of great benefit. It is 

 an old saying, "It is well to get out 

 of sight of the smoke of your own 

 chimney." It is also well to have a 

 change from such steady work as run- 

 ning a florist's business. So well was 

 I pleased with the farmers' week at 

 State College that during the last 

 month I took in farmers' week at Cor- 

 nell University, where 1,800 of New 

 York's most intelligent farmers came 

 to get new ideas of their business and 

 went home better and wiser men and 

 women. 



The man who today does not keep 

 up with the procession of eager and 

 active minds that are engaged in get- 

 ting a living from the soil will soon 

 be left out of the race. 



New Caatle, Ind. — Otto L, Benthey 

 has resigned as manager of the Fred- 

 erick J. Benthey greenhouses and will 

 begin at once the erection of four 

 greenhouses, of his own, on ground 

 which he recently purchased on South 

 Fourteenth street. He expects to have 

 at least one house completed and 

 stocked before Memorial day. He will 

 sever his connection with the plant of 

 his cousin, Frederick J. Benthey, of 

 Chicago.
