Sensation Sustaining.

For the first TIVE days through which strong
and healthy man is doomed to exist upon moth
ing, his sutferings are perhaps more acute than
in the remaining states-he feels an inordinate,
unspeakable craving at the stomach, night and
day. The mind runs! upon beef, bread and
other substantisls, but still, in great measure,
the body retains its strength. On the third
and fourth days, but especially on the fourth,
this incessant craving gives place to a sinking
and weakness of the stomach, accompanied by
a7nausea The unfortunate sufferer still desires
food, but with loss of strength he loses that
eager craving which is fell in the earlier stages;
Should he chance to obtain rnorsel or two OF
food, he swallows it with a wol6sh avidity;
but FIVE minutes ahterward his snferings are

bringing increased lassitude and further pros

the legs drag heavily. The desire for food, is
still left, to degree, but it must be brought,
not sought. The miserable remnant Of life

An Agricultural Education.


We hold that farming is both a science and
trade. It IS q science, inasmuch as every.
thing produced on: the farm comes into being,
grows, and natures upon scientific principles,
or in accordance with the fixed laws of nature.
It is trade, inasmucha as its successful opera
tioH requires the hand Of experience. It is
more than a science and more than trade-it
is both. Hence an agricultural education is
more than d collegiate education; more than
can be obtained from books, laboratories, lec-
lures, and study. Even though on5 has been
through all these thoroughly and understand.
ingly, he is not an educated farmer. He may
be a scientific farmer, but he will lack the
practice. Though he may have. learned the
use of farming. tools and all the handiwork
practiced in farming, yet he will not be prac,
tical farmer, but if he lacks the science of his
profession lie Will not be an educated farmer.
A truly educated farmer is'-one who combines
an educated head with an educated hand.3 1t
men have only educated hands Their heads
are not educated. How much more successful
and useful they would be if they possessed
educated heads To cultivate both the head
and the hand requires two kinds of education
one for study and the. other for practice.
The. more they can be combined the better.
But as agricultural colleges are not plenty,
scientific, practical farmers could in a n,edsure
supply their places by taking young men and
giving them good practical education based
upon scientific principles: Two or three years
with a scientific and practical farmer, with
books, papers, and instructions, would be
permanent benefit to young man ambitious
to be a true, farmer. We have few truly
scientific farmers in our country. Let them
offer to take young men upon fair terms and
tiic and practical and let it be long enough
and thorough enough to make them good farm.
