Educated Farmers.

A correspondent who has but little
faith in agricultural colleges, and APP
parently but limited knowledge of
what farmer ought to know, in-
quires Of US, "what is there about
farming that it is necessary for boy
to go to school to learnY'
In answer TO this we do not propose
to 90 into all the detail of the bound
less field Of knowledge which IL is
important the true farmer should
study and master. But as stock
breeding and rearing arc a necessary
part OF a farmers business, he should
understand the laws Of life both veg
etable and animal. The intelligent
feeder should have scientific
knowledge OF the structure and
functions Of the animals he grows.
Reasoning from cause TO effect, us
the animals have no power OF trans
forming one element OF food to an
other, he should know the exact ma
turc Of the food he intends for a par
ticular purpose, which can alone be
obtained by scientific knowledge
OF its elements, and thus know just
what Is required to build up the
frame, the muscle, or produce fat.
The farmer should know what kind
of food contains the necessary caior-
ic 10 keep up the animal heat In low
temperatures; and what food con.
tains the most starchy elements to
produce certain results
Nor, is q knowledge OF the strnc-
lure and wants Of animals all that Is
necessary? Vegetable life must be
understood, and TO know just what
kind Of food each particular plant
requires for its health and develop.
ment. And thus, If our correspon-
dent will dip deep into the duties
and business Of true farmer, he will
find that intelligent agriculture
should be conducted on science, art
and skill. All other branches OF In
dustry have limited fields ofresearch.
Agriculture IL boundless. Farmers
have CROPPED in the dark long enough,
and the business has been dragging
for The reason that the ignorant and
