Its very importance should

the agriculturist, who do
nothing to elevate themselves

Labor of itself is not de-

But to simply work with ; the
hands is to bury the most
valuable talents. Man is tri

mind, soul and body, liud
that man's work is most com

whole soul, body and mind.
Too many farmers consider
