more young men from every community pur-
SUING the higher education at some college,
and fitting himself for foremost position
either in some industrial calling or some pro
fession, you kindle n higher ambition and
suggest a nobler use of himself and his op-
portunities i'll the mind of every young man
throughout the community.
And what can you do for agriculture The
best thing you can do for your calling is to
believe in it, to respect it and yourselves as
members OF it. The phrase, nothing but a
farmer" is not one affixed to you by others,
but invented by and applied to yourselves.
It is the phrase by which you have been in
the habit of excusing yourselves from as
Stunning the heavier responsibilities, and
working at the more intricate problems OF
our modern intellectual and political life. Il
am nothing but plain farmer and therefore
l do not need and cannot use very much
education. l am only a farmer and cannot
reasonably be expected to take an important
share in the labors and sacrifices by which
the world Is advanced" 1t is time that all
this were changed, and that you should say,
Because | am to be q farmer, 10 be engaged
in a calling which has such large possibili-
ties of improvement, calling on which the
material social, and political welfare of man.
KIND so largely depend, l owe it to myself
and to the world to make the utmost possible
of myself and my opportunities, and to fill
the whole place where Divine Providence has
put me-" Make yourselves intelligent, self
respectful, public-spirited men. and you will
not only be better farmers, but you will
change the whole aspect and outlook of the
agricultural industry.
Again thank you for this courteous and
patient hearing. 1 sincerely trust and believe
that this meeting will accomplish the object
for which it was called better understand
ing between the farmers and the College. l
trust that there will be many such meetings
between us in the future, and that they will
help forward the important interests which
We have in common, those of education and
agricultural progress.

had tried the experiment Of trusting them.
as the people will now lie able to Judge of
the real sentiment which prevails in the
South. There may lie some truth in this,
yet it is none the less fact that the Ad-

sympathy of belief.

was d humbug and demagogue. and that he

been disappointed, in the fact thai the as
surances of Southern leaders have not been
kept, and he now intends to prosecute these
who have violated the rights citizenship.

VENTILATION or BEDROOMS a man were
to deliberately shut himself for some SIX or
eight hours daily III II stnfiy room, with
closed doors and windows (the doors not be-
ing opened even to change the air during the
period Of incarceration), and were then to
complain OF headache and debility, he would
be justly told that his own want Of intelli-
gent foresight was the cause of his suffering.
Nevertheless, this il what the great mass Of
people do every night of their lives with no
thought Of their imprudence. There are
few bedrooms IN which 1t is perfectly safe to
pass the night without something more than
ordinary precautions TO secure an inflow of

of course, have fireplace with an open
chimney, and III cold weather it il well if the
CRATE contains small fire, ut least enough
to create an upcast current and carry of the
vitiated mir of the room. In all such cases,
however, when fire Is used, 1t is necessary
to see that the air drawn into the room comes
from the outside Of the house. By an easy
mistake it is possible to place the occupant
of n bedroom with Il fire in IL closed house IN
a direct current of foul air drawn from all
parts of the establishment Summer and
winter, with or without the use of fires il is
well to have free ingress for pure air This
should be the ventllators first concern. Foul

will be drawn in II the impure is drawn away.
So far as sleeping rooms are concerned, it is
wise to let in air from without The aim
must be to accomplish the object without
causing great fall of temperature or q draft
The windows may be drawn down an inch or
two at the top with advantage, and a fold of
muslin will form 'ventilator" to take off the
feeling of draft. This, with an open fire
place, will generally suffice, and produce no
unpleasant consequences even when the
weather is cold 1t is, however, essential
that the air outside should he pure Little is
likely to be gained by letting in fog or even

The Afghan war is perhaps the beginning
Of a new chapter in the Eastern question,
which Is settling down into a struggle be-
tween Russia and Great Britain.
The small State of Afghanistan extends
$50 miles from north to south, and 40 from
east to west, between British India and Rus
sia. Its surface is very irregular. with lofty
table lands, vast mountains, deep valleys and
ravnes. 1t offers great natural advantages
for defence agains: foreign foes, and cam
paisn, even by so Iesolnte a military power
as England, against the Afghans is no holi-
day affair. The boundary line between In
dia and Afghanistan is along range oflofty
mountains, through which barrier are only
two passes that permi. the entrance of in-
vading armies. One is the Bolan pass, lead
ing from lndla into BelOochistan at point
10 miles south of the Afghanistan line and
southeast OF Candakar, the sacred city Of the
Afghans. The other is the celebrated Khy-
Der pass, farther north and opposite Cabool.
1t is said to lie over 80 miles long narrow
and running between lofty mountain walls
that furnish overwhelming means of defence
against an invading foe. 1t is along this
pass that the first collision between the AZ
ghans and the advancing British-Indis troops
has taken place. The population of Af-
ghanistan is about 100000, the largest
proportion of the inhabitants being bold
and hardy mOuntaineers. Englsnd's OBJ
iect is to prevent Afghsnistan from becoming
an ally of Russia. and to better watch the
operations Of the Gar in that part of the
continent. So it is safe to assume that the
Car will give aid and comfort to the Af
ghans; and new Asiatic Eastern war may
soon be attracting the eyes of all observers.

The controversy over the adulteration of

TIE controversy over the adulteration of
sugar by the refners has reached feyer-heat
at New York. The charge is that glucose or
grape sugar. which is easily manufactured
from starch at cost of four cents pound,
is used in large quantities to adulterate all
sugars. and that muriate of tin, an injurious
drug, is used extensively to give a proper
color to refined sugars. Some OF tee refners
vehemently DENY these practices, but while
the reputable houses may not be guilty of
them, very positive statements are made as
to the amount Of adulteFants marketed. L.
E. Chittend,n, E-q., made an important
statement before the academy of sciences. the
other evening, declaring that carloads Of
glucose made from Indian corn and not cost
ing over two cents pound, were being used
IN the composition Of honey, fruit syrups,
preserved fruit, maple syrup and other food.

though it might be hardship TO pay ten

We shall be curious to see what the MOI

elsewhere copied from the Brattleboro Re
former. That the support given to Mr. Bar
low by some of his papers was purchased
outright, We suppose TO intelligent citizen
doubts In view. however, of the oil aniinos-
ity of the editor of the Ctr.en to General
Grout, We had not supposed that it could be
necessary Tor Mr.. Barlow to bribe that paper.
and We have never attributed merceuary mo
tiyes to the Cih-tH for its course in the
canvass. But the charge that Mr.. Earle has
admitted that he received five hundred dol
lars for his support of Mr.. Barlow is too
direct and too well supported to be turned
aside by Joke. If the editor Of the Cuil-n
received none of Barlow's money, and never
made the admission attributed to him in
Mr.. lloldens affidavit, he will not only
give this story an unqualified denial, but
should promptly prosecute Tor libel and per-
jury the paper and persons that have pro-
mulgated it. We say no more till We see
