EDUCATION FOR THE FARMER.

In order to give the young hint OF
what might be learned, teachers ought
TO devote few hours each week 10 teach
ing scientific edacation, especially such
as relates to agriculture. Short weekly
botanical and geological excursions ought
TO be made to the country by the whole
school. Interesting geological and eth.
biological specimens are lying around on
every farm in this country. Every school
house should contain cabinet Of scien-
enti6c curiosities. These could be col
lected withou. any expense. The cabi-
nets would excite the curiosity of the
schslars to know mere about these sub
jects. Teachers that cannot teach any
more than what they find in school books
are not qualified to teach. This qualifi.
cation ought to be required of every one.
The moral effect of teaching science in
our common schools would he 10 direct
the minds cf the young from immoral
enjoymsnts. Constant employment and
scientific education are among the best
morxlizes that exist. To the end that
We may know what they are doing in
this direction in other countries, | will
here state what the Germans have done
to popularize scientific agricultural edu-
cation. In the first place, Prussia has
four higher agricultural academies, with
eighty paid professors forty-one lesser
colleges, all connected with model farms;
fivs special schools for the cultivation of
meadows, and for the scientific study Of
irrigation; one special school for the rec
iamation Of swamp lands; two special
schools for industrial agriculture; one
school for horsc-shoeing; one school for
silk and bee raising and pisciculture !;
twenty agricultural stations (labora.
torics) for experiments and for garden
cnltare; three higher colleges, and twelve
secondary schools in which the culture
Of the grapevine is made speciality.
All these schools are connected with
model farms for the practical education
Of students. One contains two thousand
fonr hundred and fifty acres Of farming
land, and fourteen thousand seven hun.
dred scres Of forests. Bavaria, with five
millions of people, has twenty.six agri.
cultural colleges, and two hundred and
sixty-nine associations for the advance
ment Of scientific agricultural know.
ledge. To-day the German empire con.
tains enc hundred and eighty four agri-
cultural colleges, five for horticulture,
seventy-6ve practical middle schools for
garden culture, sixteen colleges for spe.
cial branches, and besides an immense
number Of larger and smaller associa.

the FIVE years course The lands in
active cultivation are usually allotted as
follows: Thirty acres to grass and
clover, fifteen acres 10 wheat, fifteen
acres TO corn, fifteen acres to oats, two
acres to potatoes and three acres to
sowed corn. The clover field, for in
stance, will be moved two years. In the
third year it will be plowed and planted
with corn and potatoes, or wheat. In
the fourth year it will be again devoted
to some general crop, and in the ffth
year il will be sswn with grain and
seeded, 70 that the sixth year will find 1t
again field of clover. This system,
with a judicious course Of fertilizing, has
been found most successful"

rARn AND GARDEN.
D0wx NYrH FHE FENCES.

We congratulate the farmers Of Meek
lenburg, North Carolina, upon the pro-
gressive spirit which has led them to do
away and abolish forever the old fence
Law, the most oppressive, as it is at this
day the most absurd, Of all the many
burdens laid upon the broad back Of ag-
riculture. Since the Patrons of Husban-
dry have taught the agricultural mind
TO think, we trust II will not be long be-
fore the farmers discover the manifest
injustice OF law which compels a man,
before he can enter into tbe enjoyment Of
his property, 10. enclose his land, at a
Rryt cost in many cases equal to its value
in Ses.simple, and at an annual cost
thereafter ID repairs Of ten per cent. on
w. original outlay. In the name of all
that is equitable, why do not do every
where rs the Mecklenburgers do, compel
every man TO take care Of his own stock,
and thus save him the far heavier task
Of defending his crop from his neighbon'
stock or the vagrant herds of lsndless
sq1attemf Agriculture on the continent
Of Europe has long since been freed from
the expensive burdens Of such struc-
turss; that OF Great Britain soon will
he, and why not oum: The good people
OF Mecklenburg are delighted at what
they call the No-fence Law" and their
local paper sings peans TO it as follows:
The law went into effect in March,
when the people were busy preparing to
plant the present crop. Nearly all sue
cecded in getting pastures fenced for the
stock kept on the premises. The law
works admirably. The thoughts of never
having again TO scratch your hands with
bricrs and Shorns and tangle your feet
with grapevines while mending your di.
lapidated old fences, is too good 10 en-
tertain one moment without almost
shouting for joy. While those who work
the old plan Of fencing their fields will be
busy in winter in making rails, hauling
and building them on their crazy fences,
VIC win be spending the same for COM
post heaps, clover lots, and fall and win
ter plowing." Our contemporary might
have added that II the farmers every.
where would adopt this "No-fence Law"
the frightful destruction of our forests
would cease, our descendants saved from
timber famine, and the agriculture of
the country relieved from an annual and
unnecessary tax of several hundreds Of
millions of dollars.

Glut Of Silver Coin In San Francisco.

The San Francisco Call says By what
appears to be general consent, the public
have ceased to take trade dollars for
more than ninety cents. From this
time laborers should not be paid with
trade dollars, and we presume the coin
will cease to circulate, precisely as green
backs, for more than their actual value.
For the past few weeks loss has been in
CURED by merchants, mechanics and or
binary laborers, from the heavy discount
on this species of silver coin, and 1t is
well that the public have refused by
common consent to take it.
1t is probable that within the next few
weeks ordinary silver coin on this coast
will 90 in the same way as have trade
dollars. An evening newspaper contem-
porary, in its commercial column, says:
Trade dollars were sold to-day at
ninety cents apiece in gold. Everybody
has conceded that they would come to
this, but few expected the result would
be attained 80 soon. The average price
Of refined silver is twelve per cent. dis
count. There is still slight profit in
coming it into trade dollars, but the
margin is so small that it must necessa-
rily diminish the amount Of coinage.
"Business men here are tired OF wait
ing for congressional relief, and are
adopting various measures for self-pro-
lection. No uniformity of action has
been adopted, and it is doubtful If it can
be secured But essentially the same
result is reached in different ways. That
result for the present means ninety cents
for trade dollars and ninety-two cents for
half dollars. Congress may debate the
subject for weeks to come, as it has for
weeks past; may increase the legal ten
der limit for silver to $40, $50, or 800,
but there is one thing congress cannot

In referring to the Davenport inv ard

vent fraud, what an excellent opportuni-
ty was afforded nearer home. Philadel-
phia is notoriously. the worst city in the
union in respect to intimidation, violence
and fraud in elections. That city is vir-
tually under the rule of rowdies and bull
lies for days before an election, and on
election day radical repeaters aud hired
bummers, under protection of the parti-
san police. have full swing. There is
not much doubt that If Philadelphia was
left to free expression an anti-radical
majority would be assured. But fraud,
intimidation and violence do their work,
and the Quaker city is always good for
10000 radical majority, and IL the court
try districts are not doing well, an in
creased majority in the city can be had
for the asking. Philadelphia presents a
grand field for political reform.
