THE FARMER ON THE SAFE SIDE.

The farmer is apt to think the profess
sional man, or the merchant, lives an
easy and luXuriant life. In many in
stances their families do so but with
the eminent successful man of law
or sclence-the artlzan or merchant
himself--such supposition is no mis-
take. There is not under heavens
broad canopy more laborious set of
men than these. Labor of body and
mind are theirs, and that incessant.-
Sec them early, late, in season and out
OF season, their whole energies devoted
to their several callings without rest or
intermlssion. and far too frequently to
the premature wasting oflife itself. 1t
IS no wolder that such Industry dlrec-
ted by education, (by this term ed,,ca-
ton, mean the entire training of the
boy to manhood in its most extended
sense,) and stimulated by laudible
ambition, should lead to success. Yet
with all these appliances the labors of
such met are often disastrous and If
not SO after life of anxiety, their tolls
too frequently end with the means OF
put slender support. Compared with
these the tolls of the farmer are light.
fhysical labor, he endures, it is true.
and oftimes severe labor, but his mind
is easy. He has much leisure in ma
ny cases more than is for his good. He
mas abundant time to discuss politics,
law. religion-everything, in fact but
on what relates to his own profession.
L lament to say his mind seems less cx-
erclsed than on any other subject. Now
let the same early education be given
TO the young farmer of an equally ac-
ute intellect. and that is uiyan IN hin,
VINO chooses professional, mechanical
or mercantile observation-disclosures each in
MS own line let them start fair; APP
ply the same thoughts, Investigations,
energy and toll, each in his particular
sphere. and beyond all question, agri-
culture VIII in the aggregate have the
for this reason, If for
no other there are but few contingent
cics connected with agriculture. It's
basis is the firm set earth Stamped
with the dcylne promise, that while it
remains, seed time and harvest shall
continue, while commerce and trade,
anG arts are liable to extra
ordinary and continued accidents, look
at the devastation by food and fire
OF snip and cargo upon ocean, lake, sea |
and river, eonfiagratiOns in towns and |
cities, and the thousand other CASUAL |
ties which almost daily occur, all of
which are a dead weight upon labor
ind capital not agricultural, and the
'lsks OF the husbandmen are scarce one

Continue in your noble calling and

MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

NORTHERN OPINION.
A short time ago the agricultural ed

Maryland Agricultural College, and in

courses of what he there saw
A pleasant ride of nine miles from
Washington, through the old town of
Bladepsburgh passing the duelIing
grounds, and the battle ground of 1912
brought us TO the Agricultural College
OF the State OF Maryland. The new
President Franklin Buchanan, shows
much zeal in the work of revivng its
popularity, assisted by DIR. James Hie-
gins, the Professor of Agriculture and
Natural Sciences, and Major F. A. G.
Handy, Instructor in Military Tactics.
Admiral Buchanan showed us the bull
ding and demonstrated the npodus op.
erdndi in the institution. His appoint

TENDER last. Already the number of
students have increased, and he ex-
poets to rave the college filed to its ut
most capacity by another season. The
college was founded in the year 1856.
1t was prosperous until the breaking
out of the war, since which time the
lack of sufficient energy has caused it
almost to pass away.
A new life has been breathed into il
by the new faculty. A new Interest
has been awakened, with determma-
ton to have it one of the first in the
State. The spacious brick building is

MAGAzINEs-THE WOMAN QUESTION.

We have the leading magazines for
the month OF February. Nearly all of
them show falling off from the Janu-
airy exhibit. The woman question
woman's work, woman rights and wo-
mans place in nature and in society
seems now to be the uppermost excite
ment throughout the North. How is
their slavery t. be abolished ?-that is
che question. No satisfactory solution
aias yet been offered. Women will get
married, ought to get married-that's
the great stumbling block in the way
of 's:eform." Bad as the outlook for
women is ut the South, it is infinitely
worse at the North, if one may believe
the magazines. Civilization-that great
blessing-is making marriage an intol-
cradle hardship and COLLABORATING a
crime.
