FARM AND PRESIDE.
Farming and Science.

Farming and Science.
 Farming is just az much science as an art, althouOh not yet elevated to that stsndard to cntitle it to the full term. The prime reason may be that there are too many following it who are ignorant of the grand principles: too many who think that all that is necessary to be 2 farmer are good soils and strong muscles; too many who think that when they have failed at everything else, they can turn to farm ing and earn a respectable living. Evidently, they labor under the i'm pression that man can learn farming in few weeks. It will remain go un- til farmers, as class, are better cdu- cated, and have more scientific knowledge of their business.
 This may be accomplished when we have Aourishing agricultural colleges, which will teach the art practically, and which will turn out regular scien- tiiic graduates, and thus make the oc- cupation not the low drudgery which it is in some places, but the higher aoa nobler profession for which man was created.
 A physician is scarcely trusted in a family unless he has passed through Q regular medical course, and has had some experience in practice. A law yer receives but little patronage unless he has thoroughly prepared himself by legal study. Even the mechanic must have gone through a regular training, both physical and mental, to meet the approbation of his patrons in trade, and is it possible that the farmer needs none of this careful training -none of the anslyzing of principles to fit him for his business?
 We do not wish to degrade the farmer in his own estimation; on the contrary. we would show him the ex- act position he occupies in society, and fpossible give him an infinitely higher position than he now fills.
 Long since the school teachers of the land resolved to make their occu- patton a profession. They labored loug and steadily before they at last reduced their work to an accurate system of which crops out every year in the way of teachers institutes, an. nual conventions, etc. The same glori. ous spirit is gradually working up the agricultural class-thanks to the grangers of Kentucky--a noble old state, upon whose placid streams and hillsides slumber thousand youthful dreams.
 And when upon ner surface Is heart to feeling dead?
 Oh, when mas needy stranger Gone from those hills unfed? Then let her farmers elevate their occupation, and it will elevate them. Let them encourage agricultural schools, agricultural papers, and be. come champions for every step up, ward in the agricultural world; teach their sons who follow in their place to love agriculture for its own sake; let them feel that it is great work, and an honor to them and their country and when it becomes elevated by lib eral education, and enlarged by scien. tifc learning, then we may expect tc see the term farmer" used synony mously with the highest title of the land.
 Let us hope, ere long, to see farm CTS millennium, when fair science shall stretch forth her hand over our fields and bid Ceres return with two sheayes where she now reaps but onc.--Ken lucky Agricult,uulist.

Famine in India.

A familiarity with the horrors of the
famine at present raging in Bitish India
makes the statisticians almost flippant in
their accounts of its progress. After in
forming the world that already half a
million human beings have died Of
hunger and disease In the stricken dis.
tricts, they warn us that "the first big
tragedy" is likely soon to occur at
Mysave. That a bigger tragedy is i'm.
pending in one district than the loss OF
half million Of lives seems at the first
glance to be an exaggeration. But when
we are told that the death-rate in the
relief camps Of Madras amounts to over
one per cent day, and that this awful
loss of life is taking place In advance OF
the "big tragedy" we cannot refuse
credence to the sinister prophecy. A
well-informed writer states that fully six
million must perish in southern India.
Yet. notwithstanding the fact OF the
famine, the importatisns Of Indian wheat
into England has reached the enormous
quantity of over one hundred thousand
tons since the famine has attained its
present terrible phase. Is it possible
that the Indian government can permit
this export of food from starving India 2
Surely famine prices at home might
satisfy the Indian spectators in grain.
As cannibalism has commenced in the
famine districts the statisticians already
quote children as worth rupee, or rabout
fifty cents each At this rate hungry
mother can have one days ration of rice
by selling her baby.-N y. Herald.
