HUBERT A. HEATH.

    HUBERT A. HEATH, manager of the Kansas Farmer, one of the old established
journals of Topeka, was born April 28, 1857, at Cerro Gordo, Piatt County,
Illinois, and is a son of John Heath, one of the old residents there.

    Mr. Heath's boyhood and school days were passed at Cerro Gordo and he was
graduated at the Wesleyan University in Illinois. In 1881 he came to Topeka and
has been connected with the Kansas Farmer ever since. He has long been
identified with stock interests in this State and for the past 10 years has been
secretary of the Stock Breeders' Association, and was a special agent of the
Bureau of Animal Industry under Hon. J. M. Rusk, U. S. Secretary of Agriculture,
for three years, when he resigned the post. The position was one which had come
to him entirely unsolicited. Since then all his energies have been directed to
the extension of the circulation and influence of the paper with which he has
been connected for the past 25 years, a paper which finds a welcome at almost
every intelligent farmer's home in the State and which has been a helpful friend
and adviser to many perplexed agriculturists.

    Mr. Heath was married to Estelle Read, of Bloomington, Illinois, and they
have two daughters and one son. The family belong to the Methodist Episcopal
Church. In politics Mr. Heath takes an independent attitude, his paper being an
agricultural instead of a political journal.
