Agricultural Colleges.

1t is a noticeable fact that the agricul-
tural colleges throughout the republic,
with very few exceptions, have failed in
carrying out the purposes of their crea-
tion. The idea of Congress in voting
among the States proportionate shares
of the public lands to establish institu-
tions for agricultural education, mainly,
has met with public favor, and the Legis-
latures of manv Of the States carried
out the idea more or less in accordance
with the original design. But it was
soon discovered that the agricultural in
terssts had not reached point sufficient
ly advanced to sustain with the neces-
sary patronage the capacious and COM
prehensive institutions which the States
considered indispensable in carrying out
the supposed purposes of Congress and
the result has generally been that the
agricultural colleges teach as little as
possible knowledge of practical agr-
culture, while education for the several
professions has almost exclusively alb
sorbed the duties of the instructors.
iu iSieiiinS W bhcSe insbitutlous III
the several New England States, lead
ing Boston paper holds this language:
"If these institutions are doing anything
to benefit agriculture in New England,
if there was any evidence that the young
men graduated at these institutions be-
came practical farmers, or did anything
to encourage or improve farming in New
England, there could be no objection to
annual legislative grants to keep them
in u hourishing condition. We have
first and last seen several lists Of the
graduates of these colleges, with their
residences and employments after being
educated at an agricultural college
Frem such lists we have found that while
many graduates become lawyers, physi-
clans and teachers. very few become
farmers in their own States. We have
not the statistics at hand, but we believe
that it may be safely asserted that not
one in ten of the young men educated
in and graduated from our agricultural
colleges are engaged to-day in agricultu-
raj pursuits in the States by whose aid
they received their education"

MEGRIMs. There is sudden deter
mination of blood to the head generally
attacking horses at work, or in harness
upon the road, producing symptoms
which may be mistaken for apoplexy.-
1t is temporary loss of voluntary power
and sensation. The symptoms are as
follows: The animal is first observed to
shake his head as the fit approaches, reels
and falls down, but there is no spasm
the pulse is full, hard and almost notion
less. He soon RECEIVERS, rises to his feet,
shakes himself and goes on as if nothing
had occurred. Draft horses are more
subject to this trouble than others, in
pulling heavy loads. 1t may, or may
not, be accompanied by disease of the
brain, and it is singular fact that hor-
ses which have been affected when worked
in the collar, seldom have it when rode
under the saddle convincing proof
that the collar may and often does pro-
ducc the trouble by pressure upon the
jugular veins, causing an undue pressure
of blood upon the brain from the dstend-
ed condition of the veins in the head.
The remedy is to procure collar which
fits the neck nicely, keep the bowels in
good order, and by no means feed corn
or corn meal.

PorAToEs 1t is vary generally con-
ceded that clover sod is admirably
adapted to the growth of potato crop,
producing tubers of excellent favor anl
those least liable To disease. A slightly
sandy soil, inclining to DO dry rather
than wet. furnishes potatoes of good
quality. A ealcareous soil produces
fair grade of tubers and generally sure
crop. Large crops of potatoes eau he
grown on low mucky land, provided it is
properly drained, but the presence of
large quantity of orgaric matter tells
upon the quality of the roots. Heavy
soils induce u watery insipidiiy nf favor,
and render dry, mealy product impos-
siblc. Wet land which has not been
drained is. of course. wholly unfit for
potato growing.

this are numerous; they generally con-

Some have cutters of oil. others smooth

simplest, and as effective as any, is stout

CoRN Cons The cobs Of Indian corn
contain large amount of potash, its
ashes containing twice the amount of
that mineral that is found in the ashes
of the willow. which contains more than
amy other wood. Potash is one Of the
minerals for which the farmer pays. in
one shape ar another, large sum. of mon
cy, aud this frequently when there can
be seen lying around his promises un-
ecounmizcd quantities of this valuable
material When the cob is fel ground
with the corn this large amount Of pot
ash will be found in the manure, as the
animal economy does not equal the
amount of potash which the vegetable
kingdom requires. Ii might not be bad
economy to grind aud feed the cob it il
