FARMING MADE ATTRACTIVE.
Farming may be made more attractive
| than any other calling or profession in the
land; and agricultural schools may do
much towards accomplishing this object.
The best farmers, hortcultursts, gar
denerS and stock raiscrs. glory in their |
several callings, and take the greatest |
| pleasure in them
The greater the knowledge the farmer
has of his business the more pride he takes |
| in it,
To whom. in the South, was agriculture
in former years more attractive than to the
successful cotton, sugar and rice planters ?
Who now finds his calling more attractive
and pleasant than the model farmers, and |
stock raisers, and fruit growers of the
North. and Of EuropcY
