The State Board of Agriculture.

ldoULToN, October 1. 1873
1t was evidently wise and progressive legisla-
tion that decided a few years since to mobilize
the Board of Agriculture and send the MEM
bers about the State twice a year to mingle
with the farmers of different localities and to
learn their wants and wishes and to carry in
struction as it were to the level of their lips-a
most excellent substitute for the single formal
fortnight session in the basement of the State
House.
Thus far the sem-annual meeting comes not
without observation well filled ranks of
The Board, the presence of the Governor and
several of the Council with their ladies,
the Swedish Commissioner, the President and
some of the Faculty of the Agricultural Col
lege, with sixty of the bright, active and rest
less students in their West Point gray, with
their drums and Springfield rifles all indicate
enough of the elements of successful OPEN
Ing.
The Board met this morning at Frisbe's
Hall which holds five hundred and was well
filled. Hon. j. G. Madjsan made the speech
of welcome which was responded to by the
President, and followed by congratulatory re-
marks by Gov. Perham, President Allen and
several other gentlemen.
After dinner the College Cadets drilled for an
hour in the open square fronting the hotels and
public buildings; displaying the skill and ex-
actness which has enabled them very recently
to bear off the palm from all other COMPETE
tors.
At the close of this very successful and sat
isfactory exhibition the Board opened its after
noon session; President Allen of the Agricul-
tural College spending an hour in the examin
alton of his students in the elements of Agri-
culture a work valuable for all scholars and
all farmers. In this exercise the students gen.
orally appeared as all students do who are very
well prepared for examination
Edward Payson, ESQ.,, of Deering, Cumber-
land county, followed with an address on
"Brains in Farming" "a very acute and scholar
ly production, perhaps rather too far above the
average audience and such an effort as would
be better relished and appreciated by more lit
erary and critical hearers
This evening Prof. Fernald of Orone, read a
carefully prepared paper upon "The Agricul-
ture of Maine, in relation to other Industries;
valuable for its statistics and original sugges-
tions, and if capitalists would only hear and
heed its words of wisdom, our depressed Agri-
culture would be at once revived by introduce
ing manufactures and all forms of diversified
industries.
The Governors party remain here until Fri
day morning when they leave for New Sweden.
The session thus far has been we'll attended.
Frisbie's Hall the largest in the county being
well filled, nearly every seat being occupied.

saying good deal. Prof. Elder, who succeeds
the modest and learned Hamlen in the Natural
History department, has also made desirable
Innovation by allowing the students to expert
ment with the apparatus and chemicals under
his charge. Chemistry is Prof. Elders special
ty, and his thorough acquaintance with the
new theories and discoveries that have within
a few years revolutionized that science give him
special fitness for the place he holds.

four In number. The fifth is teaching high
school in Massachusetts, They are all of them

scholars and their influence in rounding off
the ruder features of college life is plainly dis
cernable. FRosT-WEEp.
