In his recent speech at Keokuk, Iowa, President Hoosevelt discuss ed some problems that are near to the farmer and esiecially near to the small or "medium-sized farmer. Portions of his ad dress touching the importance to the country of the farm hme makcr and the education of farm lxys and girls we here reprint for the benefit of Progressive Farmer readers. Said the President: Vou in Iowa have many manu facturing centres, but yon remain, and I hope will always remain, a great agricultural State. I hope that the means of transporting your commodities to market will be steadiby improved; but this will be of no use unless you keep pro ducing the commodities, and in the long run this will largely de pend upon your being able to keep on the farm a high type of citizenship. The effort must be to make farm life not only renu merative but attractive, so that the best young men and girls will feel inclined to stay on the farm and not go to the city. Nothing is more important to this country than the ierpetuation of our sys tem of mediumsized farms worked by their owners. We do not want to see our farmers sink to the con dition of the peasants of the Old World, barely able to live on their small holdings, nor do we want to see their places taken by wealthy men owning enormous estates i which they work purely by ten ants and hired servants. Toe Typical America! Farmer. At present the ordinary farmer holds his own in the la ml as against any possible representa tive of the landlord class of farm ersthat is, of the men who would own vast estates because the or dinary farmer unites his capital, his labor and his brain with the making of a permanent family home, and thus can afford to hold his land at a value at which it can not be held by the capitalist, who would have to run it bj leasing it or by cultivating it alarm's length with hired labor. In other words, tha typical American farmer of louay gets nis rcuiuiicrauvu m nart in the shine of id inde'pend- ant home for his fainily, and this gives him an advantage over an absentee landlord. . ow, from the standpoint of the natiom as a whole it is pre-eminently desirable to keep as one of our chief Amer ican types the farmer, the farm home-maker, of the medium-sized farm. The type of farm home is one of our strongest political and social bulwarks. Such a farm worked by the owner has proved by experience the lest place in whieh to breed vigorous leaders alike for country and city. It is a matter of prime economic and civic imiKM'tance. to encourage this tyi of home-owning farmer. Educate the Farmer for Farm. Therefore, we should strive in every way to aid in the education of the farmer for the farm, and should shape our school system with this end in view; and so vit ally important is this that, in my opinion, the Federal Government should co-operate with the State irovernments to secure the needed change and improvement in our schools. It is significant that both from Minnesota and Georgia there have come proposals in this direc tion in the appearance of bills in troduced into the National Con gress. The Congressional land irrant act of 1852 ' accomplished much in establishing the agricul tural colleges in the several States, and therefore in preparing to turn the system of educational training for the young into channels at once, broader and more practicable and what I am saying about agricultu ral training really applies to all industrial training. The Misses Should Be Reached. But the colleges cannot reach the masses, and it is essential that the masses should be reachedT Such agricultural high schools as those in Minnesota and Nebraska for farm boys and girls, such tech nical high schools as are to be found, for instance, in both St. Louis and Washington, have by their success shown that it is en tirely feasable to carry in pratical fashion the fundamentals of indus trial training into the realms of our secondary schools. At pres ent there is a gap between our pri mary schools in country and city and the industrial . collegiate; courser, which must be closed, and, if necessary, the nation must help the SUitc to close it Too often our present schools tend to put altogether too ; great a premium upon mere literary educa tion, and therefore to train away from the farm and the shop. Special Tralalflf for the Boys and Girls. We should reverse this process. Specific training of a practical kind should be given the boys and girls who when men and women are to make up the backbone of ! this nation by working in agricul ture, in the mechanical industries. in arts and trades in short, who are to do the duty that should al ways come first with all of us, the duty of home-making and home- keeping. Too narrow a literary 'education is, for 'most men and women, not a real education at all; for a real education should fit peo ple primarily for the industrial and home-making employments in which they must employ the bulk of their activities. Our country offers unparalleled opportunities i for domestic and social advance ment, for social and economic leadership in the world. Our greatest national asset is to be found in the children. They need to be trained to high ideals of ev eryday living, and to high efficien cy in their respective vocations; we cannot afford to have them trained otherwise, and the nation should help the States to achieve this end. The Old Men of the South. (Harper's Weekly.) Colonel Withers, of Virginia, died the other day. He was an old man, and one of the few re maining officers of the Confeder ate army. A long time ago he was Lieutenant-Governor of his State, and afterwards he was United States Senator , for Vir ginia. His death recalls a pleas ant time when the South was sending its best to Washington. After the old partisan reconstruc tion policy was partically over thrown by Mr. Hayes' withdrawal of the Federal toops from the State capitals, Colonel Withers was one of the noble group of Southerners who accepted the re sults of the war in good faith, and who made a good many sacri fices for their states. He was ; in Washington with Gordon and Wade Hampton and Lamar, and the others the headquarters of some of whom were at old Metro politan Hotel. They- were all . i i very loyal, out they were an as Democratic as they were poor. Withers had been a good soldier, and he was a good loser. He sel dom complained of anything that a Republican soldier had done, and it was delightful the friendli ness of the old Confeds with that simple-minded gentleman and sol dier General Burnside, who served in the Senate with them. Hut they had their taste in politicians; they never loved the men they called Jim Blaine, Bill Chandler, and "that feller ConklinV With ers was about when Matt Ransom put his arm around Cleveland af ter his first inauguration and ex pressed his deep and abiding joy to see a Democratic President rtnl Sit i once more, iheseoia oo.vs might have remained in power if they had liirured a little better, but they are most of them gone now and the death of Withers only re calls their ghost. ;. ; 'pip $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE i The Swellesl Line 01 Overcoats Ever shown in Wadesboro.j All sizes to fit all men and all boys.

WONDERS NEVER CEASE Electrical Plants In Norway That Draw Unlimited Fertilizer From the Air. (Charlotte Oboerver. ) When in 189& Sir William Crooks, as many people will doubt less recall, attracted wide atten tion by declaring in an address be fore the British Association that unless some means were found of replacing the nitrogen taken up from the soil by cereals the world mustsoon face a grave situation, he could hardly have anticipated that the thing would be done within a few years. Sir William showed plainly enough that th nitrates now mined in Chile and elsewhere could not be depended upon very much longer and that fixation of atmospheric nitrogen consequently presented the only visible hope. This process was already a demonstrated fact, but daily imoractable.

Iet a farmer place himself in a similar position and see if he would not do the same. Suppose that he raises a thousand bushels of corn, and his neigh bor should come and buy, and the price was one dollar or less, and says, T will pay the amount in a few days." As the farmer does not want to be so small about the matter he says, "All right." Another comes the same way, and another, until the whole thousand bushels of corn is trusted to a thousand different people and no one of the different persons con cerns himself about it, for it is a small amount they owe the farmer and of course that will not help him any. He does not realize that the farmer has frittered away his entire crop of corn, and that its value is due in a thousand little drjblets, and that he is seriously embarassed in his business, be cause his debtors treat it as a lit tle matter.. But if all would pay him promptly, which they could as well as not, it would be a large sum to the farmer and enable him to carry on his business without difficult'.

Ministerial and consular reports just received at Washington give an interesting story of plants new to the world of manufactures. At Nottoden, Norway, several year ago, a devel opment of 2.000 electrical horse power was uitlied for producing nitrate of lime and nitrate of soda. By methods much more efficient than any employed in such work when Sir William de livered his address the plant has turned 1,000 tons of these nitrates a year at a good profit. Only last . it month-a much larger plant, sup plied with 40,000 horse-power from the noted Tinfos waterfall, was put in eperation. Before long a monster plant of 250,000 horse-power from the Rjunkanfos fall will be liegitn, the capital having been subscribed in France. It is not easy to exaggerate the prospective importance of the dis covery of processes whereby ni trates can lie profitably produced in unlimited quantities through atmospheric combustion. Man ifestly the earth's productivity cannot only le maintained but enormously increased. Manifest ly, also, the industry of nitrogen fixation will become a great one.
