 The ladies of the Episcopal Church of this place have purchased lot for a rectory on Granite Avenue, north of MT. Hanchett's new residence.

EDITOR OF NEWS: I have been in- terested in reading the communications which were printed in the last two issues of the NEWS, and as some ideas have been suggested by the perusal of the articles referred to, which were not brought out by either of the cores pondents, ask the privilege of giving publicity to my thoughts through your columns. As ''potato culture'' has, per haps, been sufficiently spoken of, I will mention, in general way, farm ing as means of subsistence" It is an acknowledged fact that every industry in the country is dependent on the farmer ]; and every profession would die of star vation was it not for the s'horny hands, of the tillers of the soil Granting, then the importance of the cultivation of the soil, and the amount of its production, the subject to be considered is the most intelligent methods of producing, and the greatest possible amount that can be grown from a specified amount of soil. In New England, where the soil has been farmed for years: 1t is not wisdom to suppose that an acre of land can be made to produce as much as land in the far west, where 1t has been cultivated but few years. In other words, our soil has become exhausted by constant cultivation. What, then, is the remedy 1? The most successful farmer is the one who has the advantage of science com bined with practical knowledge. We suggest, therefore, the encouragement of agricultural schools, and their patron age by the growing generation. Almost every state has such an institution. A thorough scientific education, backed by practical experience, will produce 8 nation of independent farmers whose in Auence will be felt and respected by all classes. When we once understand the nature of the soil, and its adaptibility to the growth of certain crops, we have the secret to success.
 THE FARMERS FRIEND.
