UUUUUUUUUUU One of the greatest comforts I experience in life is the thousands of friendships built up through my "talks" with GAZETTE readers. Not a day passes but some one comes into my office or writes me a letter telling of the confidence he feels in the instructions I have given and the friendship he feels toward me in the pleasant relations we have established through “The Feeder's Corner" of THE GAZETTE-the farmer's greatest paper. Not only have I friends everywhere in the country made through this means, but I am continually surprised at the number of persons - living in the city who regard THE GAZETTE as one of the choicest pieces On Titerature that comes to their homes and who eagerly read its pages.

Man's natural place is on the soil, surrounded by plants and animals. The artificialities and glamor of city life have exercised their abnormal drawing power all too long. Now the times have, changed and the country is about to retain a reasonable portion of the brains it produces and to draw from the city as well some of the brightest of its young men. Our agricultural colleges and our high grade agricultural papers such as THE GAZETTE are powerful factors in this move. ment. W. A, HENRY, Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
