Learning Farming.

1t is generally understood that to be
a mechanic man must serve as ap-
premiership at the trade. The me-
chanical principles as well as the prac-
teal application of those principles
must be learned. If mercantile pur-
suits are to be engaged in a course of
education in a commercial and BUSH
ness college is essential, and then the
practical details of the business must
be learned under the eye of one expe-
rienced in the business. This is true
also in regard to all the learned pro-
LESSONS. No man expects to enter on
a successful career in any of these
without years of study and prepara-
ton. And no one would think of en-
p!oying any one professionally who
had not qualified himself for his call
ing by this course of thorough prepa-
ration. This being the case in regard
to the other callings in life, it would
seem but reasonable that the farmer.
who for the highest success in his yo-
cation requires a more general and va
ried knowledge than is necessary for
any other business, should seek for
that previous training which alone can
qualify him for such success. But
such is not usually the case. 1t seems
to be the prevailing opinion among
men, and especially among farmers,
that anybody can farm whether he has
any previous knowledge of, or prepa-
ton for the business. There is, hap
PLY, change in the public mind on
this subject, and the time is doubtless
near when a man will no more think
OF engaging in agricultural pursuits
without an agricultural education than
he would now engage in professional
life without a suitable education. The
young man who intends to engage in
farming should serve a thorough ap-
premiership under the eye of a first
class practical farmer.-Ohio Farmer

The = indicates an eclipse.

The apparent motions of the moon
will be more irregular in 1877 than
usual. The north node is now near
the Vernal Equinox; so that she will
swing back and forth through about
fifty-six degrees of declination each
lunar month. For this reason the
moon will "tip" much more than the
average; and people who are prone to
prognosticate the weather from the
position of the "horns" will have eX-
traordinary opportunities for doing so
in the spring and autumn.

1t appears to be certain that the Russian
Government, whether it be determined on
war or only resolved to maintain its
influence, is making extensive preparations.
The railways have been taken up for some
time with the conveyance of troops to the
South. Transports have been collected on
the Black Sea to convey 10000 men to
Bulgaria, if neediul. Heavy divisions, in
Guiding, it is stated, 10000 cavalry, have
been stationed in Southern Poland, aud
the principal Roumanion Ministers have
been summoned to a conference with the
Gar. Furlough has been refused to all
officers, and the Old rumour of the Cars
abdication has been suddenly revived and
poremptoriIy denied. Preparations, too,
have been made at ConstartiuopI8 for the
departure Of the Embassy but the final
decision has not, it is evident, yet been
aiken, and will depend upon the result Of
he great Council now being held at Liva-
ia.

sentence carries with it loss of rank, and
possibly even of property. It is quite
possible that Count Arnim, liberated by
his persecution, has published, or rather
allowed others to publish impudeDt things;
but five years penal servitude for a reckless
pamphlet, even if written by the Count,
which he st"renuously denies, is a monstrous
penalty. Prince Bismarck will find during
the next crisis that persistent persecution
of this sort, even OF a man who deserved
dismissal, is not the way to secure effective
agents for his policy. You cannot fog q
man into being a good Ambassador
The latest news from Athens suggests
that the Greeks are beginning to doubt the
policy of their selfish inaction. Tbs Turks
are said to be settling Circassians ia
Thcssaly, a sure sign that they expect an
outbreak. and are preparing to put it
down by wholesale massacre. The Greek
Ministry, therefore, have called King
George home, and intend, it is stated, to
demand credits for the purpose Of putting
the militia and the fleet under arms and
repairing the fortresses Of the country.
The army now consists Of only 10000

Mr.. McColl, who in going down the
Save to Belgrade not only heard that the
Turks in Bosnia were in the frequent hab-

communicated his experience to the Times,

who p~eremptorily denied on authority
not only the fact, but that it was consistent
with Turkish Law. Nr. McColl, however,
who is supported by DR.. Liddon, brings
plenty of proof that, according to the
evidence of men of various races and

the fact of these impalings, which occur
in his diocese, and states that not only
men, but women are impaled, and that
one woman was impaled "when near her

which was submitted to the Cabinet in
1853, and in which he admitted that it
might be right and wise to 90 to war to
prevent ConstantinopIe and the Turkish
territory from falling into the hands Of
Russia, he went on:-" This would bo a
war not for the maintenance of the integri-
ty Of the Ottoman Empire, but merely for
the interests of the European powers of
civilization. 1t ought to be carried on
unshackled by obligations to the Porte,
and will probably lead, in the Peace which
must be the object of that war, to the
obtaining of arrangements more consonant
with the well, understood interests of
Europe, of Christianity, liberty, and civili-
s%ation, than the re-imposition of the igno-
rant, barbarous, and despotic yoke Of the
Mussulman over the most fertile and
favoured portion of Europe" If the

been worked out, we should not now be
solving painfully the problem which we
then shirked.

The elections for Ohio and Indiana,
which were expected with great interest
as test-elections, came off on Tuesday, and
were, on the whole, favourable to the
Republicans. In Ohio they carried their
candidate for Governor by a majority of
5000, and though in Indiana their candi-
date, General Harrison, was beaten by Mr..
Williams-commonly known as "Blue
Jeans" from the colour Of his neither
garments still that appears to have been
due mainly to the personal popularity Of
the Democratic candidate. In both States
the Republicans carried additional Con-
gressmeD. The division was close enough
to give immense energy to the electoral
campaign, which has hitherto not been
very vigorous, the Democrats imagining
that they had scarcely q chance. 1t is
asserted that the Democrats are sure of the
South, South Carolina excepted, but the
negro. vote at a Presidential election is
much heavier than in any local contest.

Government against Count Arnim, that of

acting mainly on the evidence OF q man

Count guilty, and sentenced him to Eve

JUDGE HoAR FIGHTING BEN BUTLER
1t has already been announced that
Judge f. r. Hoar has consented to run
as an independent candidate for Cons
gress in the seventh district of Mas
sachusetts against Gen. B. F. Butler,
who is the republican nominee. From
Judge Hoars letter of acceptance there
promises to be considerable spice in the
canyass, as Butler seldom allows an
opponent to have the last word. Judge
Hoar says:
81 have no personality to him, but
regard him as very Objectionable
candidate. Even if his connection
with the republican party were such as
to permit me to support him on purely
party grounds, when public servant
cannot bring character from his last
place it is wise to use some caution n
accepting his advances to a new engage
ment, however pressing, and the repre-
sentative whom the voters of the sixth
district could tolerate no longer might
live among us a year or two at least
before insisting that the seventh district
should repea: the experiment. With
unquesti ned ability and unbounde |
audacity the methods by which lie
pursues the objects of his ambition
seems to be pernicious and evil"
The Boston Herald says Judge Hoar S
acceptance delights the heart of every
honest republican and gives him new
hope for and pride in his party, and
the Boston Advertiser says "the least
the movement can hope to accomplish
is the defeat of General Butler; the
b st and possible result, the return of
Judge Hoar to Congress-. -
