The very great success which hse

amount Of Produc, gwen from farms E, n.

improved methods taught at such scbools
should cause their adoption 10 every
part Of the country; a: least sht1IIdi
banlsh The foolish prejudiCss which hsyv
30 long existed against them. la
France. in Belgium, 10 Prussia, in Egg
land, and in ireland, they have been
tried with the bes. effects, and are COM. !.
linued with increasing sue cess, 10 all
these coun,rys farm is selected on
which the various operations Of farming

the time IS occupied with duties or stu !

Several such schools have been com.
menced on the continent Of Europe, Of
magnificent scale; but the most com.
mon. and those that promise 10 be tho
most useful, have been established by in
dlvidual enterprise, or associations Of
individuals, each contributing his par.
OF The expense, and sharing in the pros
fits Of the undertaking. Such schools
IN connection with Agricultural Socie.
ties, fairs, and shows. are exercising
potent influence on the cultivation ofihe
soil, making men acquainted with tho
improved methods Of farming the choi--
cest kinds Of stock of all kinds, and the
best methods Of breeding them 90 az
to prevent deterioration. We hope to
see agricultural schools common 10 our
country. There can be no good reason
given, why men intended for farmers
should not be instructed fully 10 their
profession when young; or Why ifneces.

these topics. agricultural schools will be
established where needed without wal.
