Keep 1t Before the Farmers.

Keep it before them that the Board of
Agriculture was abolished at the heel of the
session of the last legislature by the use of
deliberate Justification. The statement was
made to members not posted in the facts,
by men of supposed character and standing
who ought to be ashamed to lie, that the ex
pense of the Board of Agriculture to the
state of Vermont was $4,000 per annum.
Those who were busy in making the charge
privately did so well knowing, from the
figures of the auditors reports, that the
total annual average expenses of the Board
for the eight years of its existence On
GLIDING cost of printing the reports of the
Board) was but little over half the sum
stated by them, or, exactly, S3,274.SS. By
this false statement, not publicly made, but
privately whispered, the votes were got that
killed the Board.

What We Mean by Bad Editing.

Sometime since we quoted the advice
from contemporary, to feed bees with
syrup made of coffee. The next sentence
began, " A sugar." and then went off on to
something having no connection with sugar.
The writer plainly intended to direct that
the syrup should be made of coffee A SUI
gar" but the compostor, knowing nothing
of the grades Of sugar, undertook Gas compos-
itors willy to correct the manuscript instead
of following copy;" aud the proof-reader
being no wiser than the printer, the error
was made
Now we hold that an editor should at least
read the revised proofs of his matter, and
know enough to correct such corrections"
or blunders, as the one noted above. And
the lack of such intelligent supervision
which should extend to the original manu-
script also-is shown in the very number of
the Cuiiivdtor which announces the prospec-
tive addition of Mr.. Boardman to its staff.
In Mr. 7. ID. Curtis notice of Mr. Browns
translation of Monsieur Goffart's book on
TluSildbt, We HOIlCc Iut lOliOWlllS otHJCuCts
Then a layer of three or four inches of
cut straw must be spread evenly over the
top plank, just fitting in length the breadth
of the silo must be laid close together on
the top of cut fodder" This is nonsense as
it stands but let us change the punctuation
thus: "Then layer of three or four inches
of cut straw must be spread evenly over the
top; plank just fitting in length the breadth
of the silo must be laid close together on
the top of the cut fodder" etc. Such care, of
course, is only one of the many duties of an
editor-duties that he can never perform
without knowledge that is broad and &C.
curate enough to cover the work he has I'M
dertaken to do. Otherwise his own blum
ders, the blunders of his contributors, of his
printers, and of his exchanges, will con-
stantly be put before his readers for sound
information.

lating the good in them, while exposing and
rebuking the evil and selfish elements they
embodied.
But when we come TO its agricultural de-
partment (not forgetting it has contained
much good matter), there has been such a
marked lack Of intelligent editing in 1t as
could but make the judicious grieve. And
its "science" has been even worse-often
ludicrously erroneous. Now, however, that
we can chronicle the advent to its agricul-
tural chair of man like Samuel i. Board
man, for many years editor of the Maine
Farmer and Secretary Of the Maine Board
of Agriculture, we know that all this will
be changed, and we look to see the Cult
uator assume that proud position among its
compeers to which it will be entitled as a
thoroughly well edited paper in all of its
departments. Its great circulation gives it
much power among the farmers, and we are
glad to see it become as strong in practical
agriculture as it has been in other ways in
Mr., James hands.

The Farmers on "StOekbridge. !"

The Massachusetts, farmers, if any, can af
ford to use formula fertilizers, since their land
is poorer, the prices they receive for produce
higher, and freight lower than in Vermont.
But at recent Farmers Institute held by
the Hampden Agricultural Society," accord
ing to the Springfield Republicans report,
frequent allusion was made to the Stock
bridge fertilizers, and their mode of sale
through a Boston house. The general
opinion seemed to be that they were good
in themselves, but are held at too high a
cost for the results, for when it takes six
dollars worth of fertilizer to make six dollars
worth of crop, the farmer has little to show
for his labor and capital" This is exactly the
position we have taken. The fertilizers are
good, but they do not pay. Either we must
have them good deal cheaper, or quit using
them.

The "AmerIcan CultiyatOr."


When Lord Brougham, who, though a
lawyer, gave most of his attention to litera-
ture and politics, was made Lord Chancel
lor of England, hard-headed old barrister
remarked that now " if Brougham only knew
a little law he would know little of every
thing" This has been something like our
estimate of the Boston Culiivator. II has
been, in the hands of its present proprietor,
an excellent family and miscellaneous news
paper. 1t has also won deserved approval
as the only agricultural paper in New Eng
land that has wished or dared to recognize
the business, educational and political rela-
tions Of the farmer, and to treat of them
from the farmers standpoint with vigor and
independence It's virile criticisms of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College, New
England Agricultural Society and the State
Board of Agriculture, though sometimes
showing zeal beyond knowledge, were in
the right direction, and have PROFESSIONALLY
done great good by teaching those institu-
tions that they were valuable, and stimu-

" Studying Grammar "..Latin and Greek.


President Hubert BY way of supplement
to the letter wrote you some weeks ago.
wish to repeat some things have expressed
to you and others, as occasion has from time
to time elected. 1t has long seemed to me
of classic authors mere means of exempli-
flying and illustrating the grammars, instead
of making the grammars a mere help to the
mastery of the authors as they used the
language. To illustrate my idea, / refer to
the Latin only, though the same is true to a
large measure of the Greek also.
The leading modern grammars since and
including Andrews & Stoddard's, have be-
come very burdensome, and, to be mastered
according to the idea of their authors and
of most professional teachers, require most
of the time and most of the study that can
be given to the Latin as department of
study in the academic and college course.
In my judgment they are replete with arti-
fetal and fanciful rules, exceptions, theo-
ries, and crotchets that never entered the
head of Cicero or Quintilan as inherent in,
or as appertaining to, the language. Ger
tainly in the days when Bacon and Milton
and their like learned the Latin so as to use
it as vernacular in speech and in writing,
both in prose and verse, they had no such
helps as Zumpt and Andreps s. Stoddard and
Hardness, "et id omne," ETC.. but for gram
mar, they had a small thin book called
Latin Accidence, containing the forms and
sensible rules, constituting all that is legti
mate as grammar of the language. And
this continued with no burdensome enlarge
ment and complications, till the German,
over his pipe and pot of beer, found occupa-
ton for life upon the accusative case, or
the tip and location of an accent. Aud
English and American linguistic sapans have
caught the cue. What does George p.
Marsh, what did Rufus Choate, what did
Lord Macaulay know about the modern
jungles of grammatic rules, exceptions, thee.

The valiant deeds Of the Makkabees, in

Last Sundays TjJJmc contained
the following paragraph:
" Rabbi Huebsch, Of New York, says
that There is as yet a greater distance
between the Unitarian and the jew
than between the Unitarian and Rome"
Yesterday afternoon a reporter hap
pened to meet Rabbi Fclsenthal, of this
city, and, referring to the paragraph
just quoted, asked the Doctor
Are YOU of the same opinion as your
New York colleague?'
Decidedly not; it is, on the contra
ry, my expectation that in the future,
perhaps not very far off, union will be
effected between Reformed Judaism and
the more advanced wing of Unitarian

PART THE FIRST.
RABBI sAMsONs BENEVOLENCE


Rabbi Samson was one of the great
est scholars of his time. lie was known
for his great piety in all the districts of
his country. He was skilled in the wis
dom of the Kabbalah as well as in the
lore of the rabbnical sages And yet
he refused to oficiate in the capacity of
a rabbin; he considered it a sin to gain
material wealth by his spiritual acquire
ments. Accordingly he pursued the in
dustry Of jeWeler. And heaven pros
pered him, and his riches increased from
day to day. The richer Rabbi Samson
grew, the more charitable was he tow
ard the poor; especially did he spend
large sums of money for the assistance
Of poor students and for the maintain
ance Of houses Of learning and religious
devotion But no one knew of all his
deeds Of bonegolaa-o, as he contrived
10 perform them in a socr~t manner and
lived very mouesUly.
An incident happened, however, which
made the virtues of Rabbi Samson
known to the world. His native country
was threatened with war by mighty
enemy. The King was in despair for
want of means to meet the exigency.
He issued an edict that the Jewish COM
munity of Ostropol should provide for
him the sum of 10000 guldens. The
community was very poor and could not
raise such sum of money even if they
were to sell their houses and furniture
Thus the elders Of the Community ap-
pointed day of fasting and prayer that
God may save them from the threaten
ing wrath of tie King for their inabil-
ity to give him the required sum of
money.
At the afternoon service of that day,
when the whole community was assem-
bled IN the synagogue and every eye
was dim with tears and every face was
careworn and pale with fasting, the
Rabbin ascended the pulpit, his face
beaming with delight and with a pack
age of papers in his hand All eyes
turned toward him.
My children, the Rabbin addressed
the anxious assembly, God has heard
your prayers and granted your petition.
Here | hold in my hands a package of
assignation bonds for the amount of
money which our King, great may be
his glory, requires from us. 1t has
reached me enclosed in a letter whose
only contents is: For the urgent re-
quirement Of the sacred Community of
Ostropol' | have not seen the messen-
ger who has brought this letter, nor do
[ know from where it comes as there is
no signature and no mark of any kind
on the letter. Now we have only to
choose our messengers who should bring
the money to the King, But my advice
would be that those messengers be men
of appearance and eloquence, and that
they be instructed to inform the King
how poor our community is and in what
manner this has reached us. Wonders
do not occur every day. By speaking
