4 Professor Of Agriculture.

We print this week a communication
from Hon. Crosby Miller, one of the trus-
tees of the university of Vermont and state
agricultural college, which announces the
decision of the college TO appoint a pro-
fessor of agriculture when a suitable per-
son can be found for the position. We
believe it will be difficult matter to find
a man who can fill the bill satisfactorily,
much more difficult than il is to find a
man to satisfactorily fill any other profess
Sorship in the college. This we believe,
not because the field necessarily requires
a more able man, but because he has no
clearly defined duties to perform, no par
ticular and especial field of labor. For the
professor of Greek and Latin, of botany or
chemistry there is a regular and well do
fined course; and if he docs that work
WE'LL the faculty and students alike will
know it and appreciate the fact. The col
lege has had no professor of agriculture,
because there has been no call in the
course Of college instruction for such a
teacher; and secondly We presume be-
cause in the absence of such Il call, they
may have been at u loss to know what
duties such a professor should perform,
In this natural state of doubt and uncer-
tainty tho college has had no assistance
toward satisfactory solution from those
who havo been clamoring for an agricul-
turaI course, n professor Of agriculture,
etc; for we have never seen from such. or
in fact from any body, clearly defined
course for such professor to pursue, or
anything approaching detailed line OF
work Under this condition of things
when the college authorities evidently did
not know what TO do (and we could not
tell them any moro than others), we have
always contendcd that they have done
we'll in expanding the money they have
received in directions which were certain
Of leading TO valuable results. If they

sor-whether in college or through the
state which gives fair promise of good
we shall gladly greet the new professor
and ia advance will promise him cordia
cooperation and sympathy, with such aid
as we may be able to extend to him. The
new move is variously commented on by
the papers of the state.
Ifthe suggestion of Judge Miller can be
realized, and the various agricultural in
terests of the state be brought to work
tremendously together, it will be result
hardly second in its power for good to the
step proposed by our college. We think
we can promise in behalf of the Dairy
mems Association, a willingness to CO.

and interests at work for the good of TIE
industrial interests of our beloved state.

the great difference there is in the looks of
homes while it need not cost much
money to have pretty home, although of
course money will make it much nicer;
but what | mean is, that pretty home
can be had by a person who is ingenious
about fixing up things, and who spends u
little time occasionally in setting out trees,
shrubs and vines, and in tending to their
wants and cultivating few flowers, and
in keeping things neat and clean. Nearly
every farmer can have neat and pleasant
surroundings if he only has the inolina-
ton.
There is probably lot of coarse grow
ing weeds thriving around the buildings

1t seems unfortunate to short.sighted
mental vision that men are no. all noble
and women not all sensible, yet such is
undoubtedly the case. There are men who
are brutes. like the one our correspondent
names, but her own expression, brought
very forcibly to mind az jnstuA'c," shows
the case to be rare exception, nnl no.

be it said. We're it otherwise. hed we to
look for the instance where the husband
was just and considerlte, we should get
such an expression AS that of our CORE
spondent's, which instance is Violently
one Of some time past No; We hop, and
believe there are few such husbands.
But a few days since. in speaking on
this subject, Il woman said in our hearing
that "if the man did not hold the purse
strings the woman would often spend all
the money for fincry," and sisters we
must confess there are such wives, with
whom rich dressing seems the ruling pas
sion, but we assert that they are as truly
Exceptions as was the other instance
named by our correspondent. We cannot
but believe that most men are juster and
nobler than is suggested by the instance"
and by "Claras" article, and that most
women are not the senseless, vain things
represented by the woman mentioned
We can never make provision against
the exceptions, they will occur and exist,
and because they are exceptions they will
stand out in more marked distinctness.
One thing we must note in the case
mentioned, and that on the part of the
wife who in very poor health" deIiber-
ately worked greatly beyond her
strength" that she might have little
) spending money. This we think worse
than folly-it is downright sin-snagainst
ones self, ones fam lily, against him who
made body and soul.
Sometimes duty seems to lead over diff
cult roads, and to labors which seem too
severe for our strength, when the house.
work must be done and there are hired
men to cook for, and we can find no help;
then it is bad enough, but to deliberately
overwork is inexcusable. No; we do not
believe such men and women are fair sam
pies of the mass We think better and

The Woodstock Standard has the fol-
lowing:
I'VE understand that tho trustees of the
university of Vermont and state agricul-
tural college have under consideration the
appointment of a professor of agriculture,
who shall give his whole time to scientific
and practical agriculture, both in the insti-
tuition and throughout the state. The
trustees are making every effort within
their power to meet all the Just demands
of the farmers of the state, and no stop
thus far taken promises better results than
this. The right man in this position will
accomplish more for the agriculture of the
state than any board of agriculture. Our
farmers should not only appreciate what
is being done for them but give to the in
stitution all the encouragement possible"

County Farmers Club.

Discussion of Sheep Culture in Cennec-
tIcut-Sktmmed MILK to be Considered
at the Next Meet1ng-Hatterso of Inherent.
The regular monthly meeting of the New
Haven County Farmers club was held yes
terday afternoon in the Sheffield Scientific
School building.
Professor Brewer, president of the club,
stated that he was so situated that he would
not be able to preside, having two lectures
to deliver that afternoon. He also stated
that he had not succeeded in finding per-
son to read paper before the society at this
meeting.
J. j. Webb, of Hamden, was then called
to the chair. On taking the chair he sug-
gested that the "skim milk" question be
taken up and discussed at the next meeting,
which will be held the first Friday evening
in March.
Professor Brewer (who is president of the
Board of Healthy said he should be very
happy to discuss that question, and he
thought that many citizens who were inter-
ested in the question, and who were imposed
upon by skim milk Dealers would be present.
He thought something should be done to
prevent dealers from selling an impure article
It was then announced that at the last
meeting the subject of ''Sheep Culture" was
agreed upon as the subject of discussion.
D. N. Clark of Bethany, opened with o
few words on the subject. He considered
the sheep question as very important one.
He thought there were 10000 farms in the
State where % sheep on an average could be
raised, making 100000. He thought Con-
necticut should raise all the lamb and NUT
ton they need for their own use, and could
do so but for the dogs. He would annihilate
a large portion of the dogs or raise the tax
on them SO high that parties could not afford
to keep them. He would raise Southdown
or Merino sheep for market. Again, where
sheep are kept on poor land they will destroy
all noxious weeds and vines and materially
improve the farms.
Mr. Morgan, of Woodbridge, said there
was no use to talk about raising sheep unless
you annihilate the dogs.
Mr.. Russell, of Orange gave some OF his
observations in regard to sheep culture. He
said he used to visit different localities in the
State where sheep were raised and the land
on which they were raised looked fine and in
good condition, but now the land is grown
un in briars and weeds. Sheep left land
great deal better than they found it. There
was nothing more profitable for Connecticut
farmers than sheep culture. q
Mr. Morgan said there used to be hundreds
of sheep on Woodbridge hills whereas now
