SOME NOTES on A FARHER's EDUCATION


At the Farmers State Convention,
held at New Britain, Conn, December
Is, l6, and IL, the leading topic was /:
"What the Farmer ought to know. and
How he may learn it." The following
remarks are extracts from our notes
taken upon the lectures and discuss
ions:
The old view that anybody could be
a farmer is passing away. Farmers
are Cooking over the fence" more than
ever before; they observe and initiate
when it seems desirable. This awaken
ing of thought has developed into the
establishment of various agricultural
schools many Of which have been unsuc-
ccssful and for various reasons. Too
much was expected of them the teach
ers were not trained TO their work, and
the pupils, in many cases, have been cd
ucated away from the farm. The love
for farming and farm life must be devcl-
opcd in the child. The home teachings
mainly shape the farmer boys future.
Object lessons, instead Of book lessons,
NEST interest and instruct the young
and the farm with all its plants and ami
mails offers the very best opportunities
for this training Of the powers ofobser-
walton. Study nature and refer to
books and not study books and AFTER
wards refer TO nature.
The great lack in the farmers cduca-
ton is system and balance. In no oc-
cupation is there greater demand for
independent thought and accurate judy
ment. To obtain these he must read
the bes, agricultural papers establish
and attend farmers clubs, take part in
the annual exhibitions, and in every way
possible meet his fellow farmers that by
SO doing he may increase his knowl-
edge.
There is much work for agriculture
TO be done in the common school, The
apparatus required is simple and cheap
and plants, etc A text book of the ru-
dimcnts of farming could be put into
every common school with great advan- |
tage TO every child, and as Professor |
johnson remarked, we should have |
"more broth and less dish-water In cur
schools" Scientific methods should be |
cultivated in youth !: the method is as
valuable as the facts. The only reason
for this lack of agricultural instruction
is the indifference of the people. Boards
Of Education and Boards Of Agriculture
should put their heads together and
help 10 bring in this new dispensation.
The village aud city school should share
in this work the whole system leading
up to the Agricultural College, where
the highest and most thorough educa-
ton can be obtained. As a stimulus
and an aid in bringing about this sys-
lem in agricultural education, schools
Of a few months duration, in the winter
season il may be. might b held at vari-
,us points in the State. The nation is
safest only when the youth are educated

ADVICE TO SHIPPERS or Hogs.

A Chicago commission salesman who
has twelve years. practical experience in
handling hogs in that market, gives the
advice here condensed, which is equally
applicable to shipping hogs to other
markets also:
If hogs are driven to the depot, the
farm dogs should be first securely chain
Gil before starting them on the road.
Haste should dc made very slowly in
driving. They should be started early
without feeding from the evening be-
fore, and should not show any signs OF
uneasincss, or stop frequently for rest
ing better by far take one more day
for them. Over heating founders them
at once or as soon as cooled down. II
the delivery be made by teams there
should be no feeding that day the wag-
on should be bedded deeply with dry
hay or straw and the teams may rest
from the jolting. When the hogs have
been collected in the shipping yard
without having been overheated, and
are well rested. weigh about $4,000 to
1900 pounds of heavy hogs, according
to the kind and the size of the car
of mixed weights, $4,000 to 5000
pounds handle carefully without more
''whOop and hurrah' than is necessary
to move them. II there are no scales
in the yard on which to weigh, count
of the average weight for each car
until you have your quota for load.
then bed each car with at least 400
pounds ofdry hay or straw. If your
hogs are loaded the same day they came
from the feed yard where they were
grown do not feed any grain. Water
if thirsty. They will find new quarters
comfortable and all will quietly settle
down for nap, and the waking will
not take place until their arrival at the
market, whether it is Que day or one
day and night or even two or three
days. After 500 miles of constant run,
they will be in comfortable condition
on arrival, without even cripple to in
jurc your interests. Hogs should not
be unloaded during the colder sea-
sons of the year Oftencr than once in
forty eight hours, if their comfort is
onlp considcred.-Rurdl Ncw Yorker.

How difficult il is to get good home
ma, butter. Often | know by tia
taste just whc re the Difficulty les. but
tcr-makcrs son. ctimcs let Dream stand
too long before skimming. and one can
hardly believe. from the taste, that their
butter is really fresh. Sometimes bit.
ter flavor comes from the lack of care
in keeping tue rising cream undisturbed.
Tine pans are dipped into, and in skim
ming for butter, the rising over part
of tina pan, which his q somewoat bitter
flavor goes in with the better cream,
and spoils the taste of the whole. Then
the cream may be kept in the jar too
long before churning, while the butter
maker waits for enough cream to accu-
mulatc to make il worth while to churn
Il would be better in this ease TO bring
the butter by stirring it in the jar with
lal lie or pudding stick.

How 10 ORGANIZE Al ALLIAH0l.

All you have to do is to get six or
more farmers besides yourself to form
an Alliance then decide upon name
for it and write the Secretary Of the
State Alliance for Charter giving
the name agreed upon and also the
names of the six or more Charter MEN,
beers 10 be incorporated into the Char
ter.
The Charter together with copy Of
Constitution will be sent by mail for
sne dollar. On its receipt the Alliance
organization can be completed by elect
ing officers, adopting Bylaws, etc.,
according to the constitution. Then
push out for new members, encourage
the organization of Alliances in other
towns and write your friends in other
localitiea to organize them until we
have an Alliance in every school district
in the State.
When an organization is completed
the names OF its officers must be report
ed to the State Secretary at once in or
der that register may be kept.
Each member should sign the SubOr-
Innate Alliance Constitution.

lance, railroad questions, ETC., for free

ish you all you will use judiciously, free

l.. A. MULHOLL.AND,
Secretary Of State Alliance, Topeka,
Kansas.
BYLAWS.
Each Alliance will make its own By
Laws, which shall not cOA,ct with the
Constitution. We offer the following
suggestions for their formation
They should first specify the day and
hour of meeting. We would recommend
that meetings be held as frequently as
possible. The frequency may be varied
to suit the Season. Second they should
specify the order of business which
should be:
l. Call to order.
2. Reading of the minutes Of the
previous meeting.
8. Proposals of candidates for menu
bersllip and voting for them.
4. Communications from the Nation
al, State or Subordinate Alliances, or
from indiv iduals.
5. Unfinished business laid over
from previous meeting, if any.
6. New business: if any.
Z. The regular exercises which may
consist ofspecchcs, essays, discussions,
singing, etc.
These exercises ought to be regulated
by strict rules that should specify the
order ofexcrcises, length Of time to be
occupied by each speaker especially in
debate. No personalities or vulgar Ian
guage should be allowed. Strict rules
should be made regulating the conduct
of members, providing conductions OF
expulsion for bad conduct, etc. When
member is expelled the STATE Alliance
should be notified.
The Bylaws should also epecify ways
and means for raising such expenses as
may be incurred by each local Alliance
This may be done Oh the voluntary plan
by passing arounda contribution box
or each one may be taxed a certain sun
yearly or quarterly.
The Alliance is not sc ret society
and its meetings should be public. Sc
cret sessions may be held if necessary.
Any farmer, farmers wife, son or
daughter above the age of eighteen
may bc admitted into this Alliance but
ought not 10 be allowed to vote until
they reach the legal age Of twenty one
years.
