muht be UBed by the orchardlst. No
school offers a better course In horti
culture than the university school of
agriculture. A large amount of field
practice Is given and the laboratory
work is of the first order.
In thee days of Intense effort In all
forms of production, it is essential for
the farmer to know all the materials
with which he works. The soil is one
of these materials. There are two
ways in which to study the soil In
the field and !n the laboratory. A
farmer's education is Incomplete with
out both of these facilities for study.
Winter wheat Is becoming one of
Nebraska's greatest products. The
yield of wheat on the state university
farm has been made to Increase each
year for a number of successive years
by carefully selecting the seed. The
maimer of selecting seed for winter
and for other crops Is thoroughly stud
ied in the school of agriculture.
Thus it is that in all branches it
will be seen the school touches In a
practical way the varied interests of
the state. It Is gratifying to know,
too, that during the last few years a
great change has taken place in the
attitude of the farmer upon the sub
ject of agricultural education. This
has been due to two causes. First,
agricultural education has become
much practical as the schools have
realized that the farm boy needed to
know how to cultivate the soil, to care
for an orchard, or to feed cattle In the
best manner, or to do some other par
ticular thing. If the farm boy can be
taught how to breed or select a good
steer for feeding purposes and how to
feed him at greater profit, this surely
makes his business more profitable. If
he can be taught how to handle ani
mals to prevent disease or to cure the
simpler and more common diseases of
animals, this certainly is a practical
kind of education which should be
added to a knowledge of arithmetic,
geography, etc.
The buildings at the state farm are
large ahd roomy, fitted with every ap
pliance necessary to inculcate the ideas
sought, and -jhe, munificence of state
and nation has provided a corps of in
structors well-fitted for the work. Out
of it all Is being wrought a higher and
better order of farmers, and this
means much for all other interests In
the state.
Bpeclal duty to admit one to the bar
this stenographer does not often (limb.
But he gets good wages as it Is. Paid
well by his employer he finds a good
deal to do on the side, in the form of
special work for attorneys who are un
able to keep a stenographer regularly.
Another mine of coin is the taking of
depositions for outside attorneys. In
a great many Instances attorneys com
ing from other cities to take deposi
tions bring their own stenographers
along, but there are men in Llnco'.n
who have worked up a good reputation
among these legal men and get their
business in this state, going with them
from one part to another as the oc
casion requires. This kind of work Is
particularly profitable. Payment Is
made by the page and it takes no very
long time to earn 1100 on the side.
There was a time when the demand
was mostly for lady stenographers.
They are In big supply still but their
brothers get the best positions. One
reason why more men are not masters
of the art is that they feel unwilling
to enter a field which has heretofore
seemed so exclusively that of the wo
men. All the large houses prefer men,
however, because they want people
whom they can work up. It Is very
frequent that a stenographer Is raised
to the dignity and emoluments of a
traveling man. And still better posi
tions are ahead. Railroads, perhaps,
more than any other corporations, pre
fer male stenographers and it Is with
them that they are mostly employed.
It is the stenographer who, If he is
sharp, gets at the very Inside and
heart of successful management. When
promotions are In order they go to the
stenographers if they have shown this
fitting keenness of comprehension.
More and more the stenographer has
come to be a necessity and in fact a
component part of the business oper
ations of the country. Men who know
say his importance will go on increas
ing and so will his salary. The de
mand for him is greater than ever and
Tils number was never so few. It takes
only a few months to learn, and the
knowledge with practice lasts a,
lifetime. Ordinarily bright, quick stu
dents learn pretty well within six
months. Some have perfected them
selves in less time while still others
must work longer. Hardly another
profession, for such It "has come to be,
is so quickly mastered and so quickly
remunerative.

Not only In Lincoln but throughout
the whole state an insatiable .demand
for stenographers exists. They are
scarce. Hesitation to put in the neces
sary time to learn the art and a feel
ing that once learned It cannot be
made profitable have resulted In a sup
ply unequal to the demand. Because
of this, those who are real nimble of
fingers and wits are able to get good
pay. Excellent living wages are
earned by good stenographers, the
range bring from 530 to $75 a month,
and the chances for promotion Into
still more lucrative positions Is ever
present.
The youngest national bank cashier
of the state is a former Lincoln youth
who learned stenography In the course
of a few months. He Is nineteen years
of age and is cashier of the First Na
tional bank of Elm wood. Floyd L.
Woolcott Is his name. Edwin Jeary
of Lincoln Is president of this bank
and speaks In the highest terms of the
efficiency of Mr. Woolcott. When he
began the study of stenography In
Lincoln he was not quite seventeen
years of age. He was obliged to work
on the side to support himself through
to the end. Then he readily secuiei a
place at this bank from which he rap
Idly rose to his present profitable posi
tion. Another Lincoln boy who ad
vanced rapidly is Theodore S. Miles.
Less than twenty-five years of age, he
Is half owner of the Bank of Verdigris.
Stenography did it. He secured a place
in a bank and showed the progressive
capability.

possible exception -of that of stenog
