A GIFT TO THE STATE.


 The Hon. E. H. Hyde announced to the convention that Mr. Storrs, of Mansfield, had offered to give to the State farm valued at 1000 for the purpose of establishing an agricultural school. To this offer brother of Mir. Storrs adds a piece of land of 100 acres and agrees to give $5, 900 to help along the proposed institution. MT. R. s. Hin man offered resolution that committee of three be appointed to examine the property and make such recommendations to the board as they might see fit. MT. Day amended by having the committee report at the next meeting of the Board. As amended the resolution was passed after some discus sion in which Messrs. Robinson, Augur, Stoughton, Day, Hinman, Gold, Greasy, Wadsworth and Prof. Johnson took part. The profered gift is the property that was given to the State for the caae of soldiers orphans, and which reverted to the original owner. Since that time Mir. Storrs has pur- chased it and desires to give it to the State for the benefit of agricultural knowledge. It has 50 acres and building 1O0x40, 31 stories high and containing 50 rooms.

The Farmers Convention

Close of the Meetfng-A Gift to the State
 What the Farmers Have Talked
 About.
 NEW BRITAIN, December IT.
 The lecture on 'tAgricultural Societies and Exhibitionsn was read from manuscript by Secretary Gold, the author of the same-Pro- lessor W. H. Brewer-not being able to be present It was a highly entertaining paper, which treated literally of the value and inn portance of farmers bringing their sam ples of products before societies and exhibitions. A great deal of information was derived from the lecture, and many in the audience took notes of some of the most prominent sug gestions.
 In the afternoon Mr. J. M. Hubbard lec- tured on stSelf Education a Necessity for the Farmer" He began by asking how much a man should know in order to be chased as educated. It does not seem possible to have any absolute standard of judgment. The boundaries of knowledge are wide and i'm measureable. Ones choice of occupation is an important theme of education The old proverb of worthlessness of the Jack at all trades is founded on reason and justified DY 0Xp0E10uC6s 1A0 1oHAuO1 AAAoO " @AAesooSA of his business, and possess skill at trading also have some knowledge of the natural sciences, geology. chemistry and botany, and the science of life. He must work for or ganized society. We have agricultural col leges, but they don't educate farmers.
 They graduate engineers, teachers, busi- ness men, professional men, and now and then farmer. Let agricultural colleges CO., operate with farmers and help them. Farm CTS gain their information in the midst of their work but they never reach the point where they need nothing more in the way of knowledge. Newspapers are of great value to them and the art of reading ought to be cultivated The power of observation ought to be stimulated by travel so far as one's means and opportunity allows. Farmers should think and devote plenty of time to thinking and dwell on agricultural problems. The farmer who would thoroughly educate himself cannot afford to neglect it. He must not look for easy tasks, for he will find plenty of work The speaker gave 8 thoughtful treatise on the layout of the farm and the culture of the crops, which was attentively listened to. He protested against the even ings for work and said farmers should use them largely for reading.

THE AGRICULTURAL PRESS.

Although the last announcement on the programme, not by any means the least in teresting or instructive, was the lecture by Mr. J. B. Olcott, the C0alT07lts agricultural contributor. He said that agricultural litera- ture may be hkened to thrifty branch of the great tree of general literature now rap idly coming to overshadow the earth,
 obscuring the heavens and ob- emulating the sun. Of the antiquities of the agricultural press there is no telling exact ly. An early type was ducks foot in the mud as legal heirs of the birds and beasts that printed their geological tracks upon the new red sandstone in the Connecticut valley
 Many claim an early patent right on their type and presses. In privacy the agricultur
 al press of our time began with the Con- 7aecticat Farmer. The newspaper of to-day, like the vegetation of to-day, grows in the ashes of thousand aspirations and thou sand failures. The speakers first memory was of the Homestead, started by Gift, Gold & Weld. Later Orange Judd, the Connecti- cut schoolmaster, began to preach. write and print agricultural news. Thomas "Far- mers' Almanac came once year and cost six cents. But for the press our farmers meetings would be small affairs and would never pay. It takes nearly the whole press at present to tell the grand story of human de7elopment Let the farmer be well informed upon every subject. The use of agricultural books was encouraged by the speaker, who cautioned the use of the right kind, and there is no reason why 8 bookish farm boy should not learn to make books upon the farm, nor why farm news should not be printed there at headquarters. The labor of writing paragraph is not to be estimated by the time employed in the act. hen drops an egg in brief period,
 but the whole day at least comes around before she can repeat the performance, and yet she has time for other things A long train of advice to farmers to contribute to the press and of rules for preparing copy was instructive as well as interesting and such as could only be given by 8 man experienced in newspaper work. Hints on farm courses and government and on individual acts and preferences were advisedly treated, and the whole lecture interspersed with satire and original wit for which the speaker is noted.

E RIVER PR E
MRs. GARFIELD.
Tne Next mistress OF the white House.

-
She is an accomplished hostess, as well as
an accomplished woman-they'r re two very
different things. Living as the Garfields have
had to live, in the most economical way, do
ing without elegant clothes, fine furniture,
sumptuous food, good, new, and rare old
books, dearer than all else to them, they have
contributed more to make Washington win
ter life pleasant and profitable than many
other families who have supplemented less
taste and culture with more money. Mrs.
Garfleld's receptions have been the largest
ever held by the wife of a mere representa-
tive. They have far surpassed those Of more
ambitious senator's wives, and have approx
mated those of the ladies of the supreme
court and cabinet families, in size merely.
In attractions they have stood abreast of any
OF them. This is simply because Mrs. Gar
field is a sWeet-tempered, cultured, refined
woman, in whose smile it is a pleasure to
bask. When we consider that, without allow
ing her manifold cares to interfere with the
performance Of her social duties, she has
managed her establishment alone, and per-
sonally conducted the training of her boys
for college, we can conceive her superiority,
with all her social success, to the mere
'~'society leader" Gen. Garfield is the presi-
dent Of our Literary society, and during the
past year it has met at his house. It was
more pleasantly entertained there than it had
ever been before. Mrs. Garfield exerted
even her latent social powers that night, and
it was difficult for her guests to break away
from her delightful parlors. The latter,
entire nous were and are furnished in the style
of Noah. That makes no difference, of
and those which some of the guests had left
at home was marked. There was something
really pathetic to me ia the information tele-
graphed from Cleveland that Gen. and Mrs.
Garfield were purchasing furniture and a
sealskin sacque. However, they can afford
to crafty their taste for four years now, and
forget the pinched past. What We here re-
%joicein is, that when Mrs. Hayes steps out
and Mrs. Garfield steps into the white house
on the 4th Of March next, there will be no
abrupt change in the presidential, or rather the
Mrs. Presidential, social. customs and DEGREES.
Whether the diplomatic corps has its delicate
palate tickled with lemonade and water at
state dinners or not. we may be sure that
whiskey and the white house, divorced four
years ago, will not be united in unholy bonds
during MIR. Garield's administration. 1t is
needless to say that Mrs. Hays will be missed.
She will be missed BY many Of whom the
world knows nothing, wants to know moth
ing-the naked, hungry, sick and IN prison.
unto whose wants she had ministered sail
so silently but regret will not be so poig-
nant as it would be were she to be succeeded
by an inferior woman.

An incident Ian BARLEY canpnell's Life.

The Washington Republic tells the follow
ing domestic story about BARLEY Campbell,
in which Bartley's wife, an excellent lady,
and thorough disciplinarian, figures as defen-
dant. Her dramatic lord and master had
been out to q late supper and missed his cue.
Next morning, instead Of the usual remon-
s~trances, his wife uttered not d word. Now.
BARLEY is one Of the best humored fellows
in the world, and had no idea of breaking in
on the programme Of silence, SO they got
through the entire morning without speaking.
Late suppers encourage a tendency to head
ache and that particular morning found
Campbell with a head two sizes too large for
DIS hat. Believing that q John Collins
would work the necessary reduction, he went
10 the bath room, where he applied the
string OF Q soda water bottle to the gas burn
