What Q TOmE. FarmR Should St6dy.
AT meeting during the late New Eng
land Fair, st Portland, Maine, EroG Fer
Maid, Of the Maine Agricultural College,
delivered an address ID which be presented
the following views Is 10 tho proper
course Of study for q yuunesman who ex-
poets to be farmer:
Iwould suggest, in the first place, that
the young man who proposes to become q
farmer should have q thorough acquaint-
ance with mathematics Il IL essential
that he should be able mot only TO reckon
quickly and accurately, bat when he has
purchased lot Of land for his farm, he
should be able to establish it's boundary
lines; he should be able to divide that
farm into such plots % he may wish. Il IL
true. he mieht csll n IL "a a = surveyor,
but how much more gratifying Il must be
for him TO be able entirely to control this
matter himself And in addition to that,
a we find our farmers have TO attend yery
largely to the matter Of road making and
bridge building, the PRINCIPLES of nechan-
les might very pro6tably be studied,
and perhaps something of civil engineer
ing.
There is one field of studv that viii be
of vast importance to him. and that is,
what is embraced In the natural sciences.
I'M
man who enters upon aericultural pursuits
is to be constantly associated with the
plants of his garden, with the trees Of his
orchard and with the shade trees, and he
is to be constantly associated With the
vegetable products of the earth. Is II not
reasonable that he should learn in the first
themf That he should study their nature,
learn their characteristics learn how TO
manage them, and then put his knowledge
into practice /! It would certainly be ad-
visable that the young man should acquire
at any rate, thorough knowledge Of bot
any, as the basis for his future agricultu-
In connection with this, would sug-
gest the science of chemistry, which the
Young farmer can turn to great practical
