A2ricuIturaI Educ tiOuas.

To farm profitably one must think cor
rectly; and correct thought comes from re.
Election and training. 1t is the veriest folly
to expect from recent graduate trained
experience; hut we should ask for trained
mind which can quickly receive the teach
lngs OF experience, and fit it for profitable
uses. We do not ask, for our part, for our
colleges to graduate practical farmers; we
but ask that they graduate men educated to
act from principles, and to think correctly,
and in whom the charms of country lie
and the possibilities of a farming career have
taken root. When farming. practical farm
ing, has the sympathies of an educated class
OF men, there is everyshing to be hoped.
When men trained to think, and whose
thought is trained TO take expression in ac-
tion, enter upon the arena of farming life,
the possibilities of our soil and location are
to become developed to an extent little
realized. A class of educated farmers means
greater opportunities for the common farm
ers whose education has been derived from
tollsome experience and the conflict of trials.
1t means better and more practical lectures,
more useful agricultural societies, higher
toned agricultural press the exclusion OF
dead-beats from agricultural influence, and
a healthier tone in agriculture generally.
Education brings seli-respect and respect
draws to itself the respect OF others Sci.

A Hint to LabOrefs q.

When you have any heavy work to do, do
not take either beer, cider, or spirits. By
far the best drink is thin oatmeal and water,
according to the heat of the day and your
work and thirst: it should be well boiled, and
then an ounce or an ounce and half of
brown sugar added. If you find it thicker
than you like, add three quarts of water
Before you drink it, shake up the oatmeal
well through the liquid. In Summer drink
this cold; in Winter hot. You will find it
not only quenches thirst, but will give you
more strength and endurance than any other
drink. II you cannot boil it you can take
little oatmeal mixed with cold water and
sugar, but this is not so good; always boil it
if you csn. If at any time you have to make
long day, as in harvest, and cannot stop for
meals, increase the oatmeal to half pound,
or even three quarters, and the water to three
quarts If you are likely to be very thirsty. If
you cannot get oatmeal, wheat fonr will do,
but not quite SO we'll. For quenching thirst
few things are better than weak coffee and
little sugar. One ounce of coffee and halt at
ounce OF sugar, boiled in two quarts
of water and cooled, is very thirsl-quenching
drink. Cold tea has the same effect; but
neither is so supporting as oatmeal Thin
cocoa is also very refreshing, and supporting
likewise, but is more expensive than oatmeal.
