PEAS AND HOGS.
the grain

EDtToR HUsBANDMAN:
In your editorial on first page of your pa
per Of April IL, you make an extract from
an editorial of the Aua1at Courier. Said eX-
tract seems remarkable to me from the fact
of it's containing the following statements:
eve are'aware that many farmers in the
valley think that because Wecannot produce
corn to advantage the raising OF pork will
never become extensive here, but perhaps
these men are.not aware that, with the eX-
ception of the cost of seed, an acre of peas
is twice as valuable to thesfarmer as an acre
of corn, the produce being more to the acre
and far superior Tor fatten1ng purposes.
Other advantages accrulng to the farmer
from raising peas are that the fodder is not
wasted, and he can raise two crops of peas
in one season from the same ground. 1t is
one of the easiest cropssraised. SoWn' and
narrowed in the spring, it needs no further
care until the peas are full and plump,
when, before they are ripe, and while the
yiiies are alive, it is nown down, allowed to
cure as hay is cured.. and stacked in the
same manner"
Now, MIR. Editor, agreeing, as do, with
youand the Courier editor, that Montana
..could and shouldo produce her own pork,
| read the above statements with good
deal of interest, but, upon reflection, con-
cluded that they must be taken with consid-
able,alloWance.
1t seems strange that the farmers Of the
great wv estern States have never learned
| that peas can be raised so easily, and are so
much superior to corn for fattening pur-
poses, and have never made them promin-
ent crop, but continue to devote vast areas
to the production OF corn for ''fattenlng pur-
poses." 1t seems strange, too, that farmers
of the East, with 'high-priced land, who
have to economize IN every possible way,
have never ascertalned the great merits OF
the pea, but continuetO give it secondary
consideration in their agriculture, while
buying immense quantities OF western corn
for "fattening purposes" And it seems
pe,v strange that here in Montana, where,
how shall we fatten our hogs?.is one OF the
great questions in farming, Jour old expert
enced farmers have never found out that the
pea is so much more valuable for pork rails
ing than any other crop, and.have not
crowded Eastern lard and bacon out OF our
markets years ago. Butage and experience
do not always bring knowledge, and the
power may have been given the youthful
editor of the Courier to educate our farmers
in the important matter A pork raising
thereby filling their pursesf with gold ano
their homes with plenty.i@ Seemingly, q
7 person:is occasionally rails. dup especially as
a public benefactor. 6 Let us hope tltat such
may be the Coaaier editor. ;s,,,. -.

Superintendent OF Agricultural Affairs.

Probably no state has had a more efficient
Board of Agriculture than Vermont, judg-
ing by the number OF the meetings, the at
tendance and interest, the value of the re-
ports and the instruction given to farmers
Yet sometimes the expectations of the peo-
pie have not been fully met. There have
been such complete changes in the member
ship Of the board that those who had lis
tened 10 members with two or four years
experience as public teachers, and have in
vited the boards to their towns have found
at their coming that new members were
struggling with problems already solved,
and were themselves students in agricul.
tural knowledge, and novices in the art OF
teaching. At every session of the egisla
ture the board and its members were likel,
to be thrown overheard as useless rubbish
by those who would seek 10 economize b,

Maine Industrial College.

This institution is now conducted with
gratifying success, and though tuition is
free the college is nearly self-supporting,
with an income from its national grants OF
about $4,000. The number of students is
one hundred and twenty zone, the last Fresh
man class numbering over thirty. The
Maine Farmer says: "The past year has
witnessed the successful Inauguration at the
college, at private expense, of the system of
workshop instruction, in accordance with
the desires of the trustees and the require
nents of the act of Congress. Our readers
have already been made acquainted with
the starting of the wise shop in June last
and the first of October the forge shop was
also started up. The building is erected in
the rear of the laboratory, provided with a
steam engine and boiler, and eight FORCES.
Almost the entire work on the building was
done by the students of the college who gen
erously gave their hard labor that the same
might be a success. Mr. b. f. Sturtevant
OF Boston, presented the college with one Of
his celebrated steam blowers for the shop,
and another Boston firm presented a steam
gauge of the value of sixty dollars The
chief donor towards the shop and its fixtures
was Ex-Governor Coburn, who has already
contributed literally to the library of the
college, and the remaining sum was OBJ
tanned from private sources, Professor w
A. Pike of the college being liberal con
tributor of time and money. The shop wa:
started up October Sd, with Mr.. c. S
Weber, of Bangor, as foreman, and the
class in the forge shop consists of sixteer
students, who work in sections of eight
alternate days, giving four hours per day t.
shop work. The students purchased thei
own tools themselves, and Mr.. Weber say
their progress during the brief time the,
have been at work is beyond that acquired
by the ordinary apprentice in one year,
time. Professor Pike is constantly in tn
| shop during hours of work, and his enthu
siasm in the matter has been conveyed h
his pupils, who work with energy and salts

doing away with all offices except their own.
The legislature of 1873 has struggled with
these economic problems under the leader
ship of the member from Troy, and has
abolished The board, and has in place OF
it provided Superintendent OF Agricul-
tural Affairs" who is to devote his whole
time to promoting the interests of agricul-
ture in the state and is to visit every town,
as far as practicable, and hold agricultural
meetings therein. A report of the meet
ings is to be furnished the newspapers Tie
is to receive fourteen hundred dollars salary
and official expenses, and have at his dis
posal eleven hundred dollars more, with no
direction for its use, or intimation as to
how it may be used, and no report is re-
quired of him, either annually or biennially,
to the Governor, legislature, or any other
person. The whole matter is as loose as
string of suckers, and fine specimen of our
crude legislation. The bill was first intro
duced in the House by Mr.. Currier; reported
against, and refused a third reading. Then
it was introduced into the Senate, amended
so as to raise the salary from one thousand
to fourteen hundred dollars, and passed by
a vote of fifteen to ten. Then it came to
the House, and was reported from the COM
mittee with proposals of amendment, max
ing three superintendent at $500 each,
with official and travelling expenses, and
with the same appropriation of $2500. The
amendments were rejected, and the bill
passed in concurrence, was signed by the
Governor, and became law during the last
evening of the session.
Governor Proctor has made the very judi
cious appointment of Colonel John b. Mead
as Superintendent of Agricultural Affairs in
Vermont. He is a practical farmer with
good literary attainments, pleasant and
clear speaker, with fine personal appearance
and agreeable manners. He has good rep
utation as a soldier, legislator, temperance
man and Christian.
His theme for lecture would doubtless
incline toward temperance or education, but
having had two years experience as a member
of the Board of Agriculture, aud having been
often the chosen orator for fairs and farm
ers' gatherings, he has the subject of agricul.
ture well in mind. Wherever he goes he
deserves a good audience and the kindes
greeting.
The time occupied by each meeting is left
optional with the Superintendent, therefore
it will be well for citizens interested to cor
respond with him early in the season, and
to put forth such cooperative efforts as shall
ensure meetings for the whole day. forenoon,
afternoon and evening, and have papers and
addresses from local talent or invited speak
ers, so as to make the meeting success.
Agriculture is the vocation of our people,
and to increase its profits, improve its
methods, and bring greater degree of pros
perity and contentment to the Vermont
farmer, is the object of this Superintendent,
as it was the object of the board. z.E.J.

FARMER JOHN.

FARMER JOHN.
In n nice new cottage lived Farmer John
with his boys so trim and neat,
And his girls Just patterned by mother Jane,
Bright and womany sweet.
There was love In the cottage for Farmer John,
There was feverent household prayer.
II was thrifty without and bonny within.
Save for one failing there.
The ample storehouse Of Farmer John
Was packed from sleeper to peak;
His purse had rounded out full and deep
But for a single leak.
One sorrow was there for Farmer John,
Ills nelghbor over the way
Was one who tarried long at the cup,
And he tarried day by day.
Now II moved the heart of friendly John
To kind, persuasive word
He pleaded as man may plead with man,
Till the drunkard's soul was stirred.
Said nelghbor Nat You're good man, john
Or wouldn't bear your speech;

But In turn must preach.

Ifyou will but pledge me. too,

II you'll never smoke or chew"
II touched the marrow Of Christian John,
And he dare not now lie 10TH
He quickly answered, " 1t shall be done,
And may God help us both"
And now he reckoned, good Farmer John,

How health and sweetness had dribbed away
With the dollars year by year.

For his boys and girls to share.

A RETURN TO GRASTISM.
[Springfield Republican,


A return to Grantism would he
no less suicidal for The Republican
party in ,he north than in the
S,u,h. II is difficult to see where
thefriend- ii theex- Preslden, detect
in last weeks results any indica-
ton Of q popula: desire for a third
term. To be sure, Grants ex.
Secretary OF the Navy was elected
10 Congress by the Republicans Of
q New Jersey diS,rict. But any
body who supposcs tina; Mr.. Rob-
eson was chosen because his dis
trict desires a restoration Of Grant
ism is seriously mistaken. The
district is hard money one and
he was lucky enough to be the only
hard money cand date 10 the field.
Equally short-ighted is the theory
that the success OF Conkling and
Cameron in New York and Pcnn,
sy]vanil is an ind, rsemcnt of Their
old chef. Conk ing and Cameron
carried their States, not because
they were representatives OF Grant
i'm, but only because their oppo.
nenta were more unworthy Of sue
