Agricultural Education.
Virginia Granger


Agriculture is not only a profes-
sion but it is also a science. There
is as much need for a liberal and
thorough education to fully under
stand the principles which underlie
this science, and properly apply
them in practice, as there is in any
other profession.
1t is not enough that we have So
called agricultural colleges. These
are well enough in their places, and
If properly conducted much valu-
able information will be comlnuni-
Gated, and good results will follow.
But the masses can derive little or
no profit therefrom, for these COL
leges are beyond their reach. In
deed, it requires previous training
to entering these agricultural col
leges for the full benefits to be re.
allied. 1t is necessary that those
who attend upon college lectures
on agricultural science, shall have
some preliminary training. shall
have acquired some knowledge Of
the principles discussed, or else they
will not be able to comprehend the
subjects of the lectures. These
primary lessons must be taught in
some way in the common schools
How best to do this is a problem
which is to be solved.

FROM GEORGIA.
Letter from the Secretary of the
Georgia Sfate Grange.

Editor Patron. Our pen has
been silent in your columns for some
time, but neither heart nor memory
has sympathised with the silence.
You remember the little boys an
ecdote about his nightly prayers?
He wrote them out and tied to his
bed-post: ''These, Lord, are my SEN
timents." Appreciation for and ear
nest sympathy in the welfare of
THE PATRON OF HUsBANDRY are
cited" to ny bed post! 1t deserves
support and active sympathy from
every Patron on this continent
Your kind interest in the welfare
of Georgia Patrons, manifested by
sending so many packages of THE
PATRON to Georgia Oranges, l trust.
will be Gas bread cast upon" our
Grange waters" The favor for
warded 10 this office has been, broad
cast, distributed. I may never hear
what good it has achieved Faith
plumes its pinions and bids conf
dence be assured! We must so7U
''seed in the morning." and ''in the
evening withhold not our hands"
The meeting of our State Grange,
which your kindness heralded not
only to Georgia but to other State
Oranges, was not attended by nu-
merical strength, but in earnestness
and devotion, a legion could not
have done more.
We ..'still live" Brother PATRON,
and SO long as farmers want re-
mains-So long as servile thralldom
dwarfs agriculture, you may expect
Georgia Patrons engaged in the no
bic work of redemption. We have
been do7Un in the deeb-deeb troughs
of the sea. But, thank God, for the
evidences that we will again ride its
crest To days mail brings the glad
tidings of THIRTY FIVE initia-
tons in one Grange, at one meeting
the result, Bro. Jarrett, of Harmo-
ny Grove, Hall county, writes me,
of our last State Grange meeting
Isn't this glory enough for one day?
Now, Brother PATRON, when you
cease to hear "heavy firing all along
the lines" in Georgia, don't you con-
clude the battles ended We rest
upon our arms, It's true. But signal
guns ever and anon greet us, and
true and tried soldiery will ever be

FROM TEXAS.
Marion County.

Editor Patron: Worthy Master
Rose arrived in this county on the
Ist inst. on his tour through this
part of the State, and met with the
members of Union Grange and
number of non Grangers( for.strange
to say, we still have them here yet
mon Changers who are farmers)
and delivered one of his able and
instructive lectures on the aims and
objects of the Order, and also on
financial cooperation, making it
plain to the minds of all present that
this is the means by which we are
to better our financial condition, and
if properly carried out will result in
great good to the laboring classes.
On the grid he was taken by private
conveyance to Bear Creek o. ange,
III Cass county, where, owing to
high water and the destruction of
bridges, the attendance was small.
Some of the brothers, however,
crossed the creeks in small canoes
and walked four miles to attend the
meeting. From this cause the Wor-
thy Master was prevented from
filling his other appointments inCass
county, and was compelled to re-
turn to Jefferson and take the train
for Walker Station in Red River
county.
The farming interest is very much
retarded by wet weather; but little
planting done as yet. Fra'efnally,
NJ. FITZGERALD.

THE GRANGE CAMPAIGN IN

though the inclement- weather and
bad roads have been greatly against
us, preventing no doubt many from
attending some of the meetings. /
have been greatly encouraged by
the interest displayed by those in
attendance. The Order are nearer of
one mind on theimportant work be-
foreu than have ever found them,
and are more determined to do their
duty. The Patrons that have stuck
to their colors see the responsibility
that it takes oneness of action as
well as of mind. Education and
cooperation are doing far more for
our people than many are willing to
admit. Successful financial co ope-
ration is the great incentive to bring
the farmers into the Grange, where
they will soon learn that this is not
all the good there is i'll cooperation,
but they will soon be enabled to see
their interests as others see them,
which will prompt them to greater
efforts to unite in order to place bur
dens where they properly belong.
Every worthy farmer in the land
should be in the Grange, and would
be if he was properly informed in
Grange principles. Our great need
is more self sacrificing Patrons who
will go out and talk to the farmers
at the chimney corner, on the public
highway, on the stand, everywhere
that opportunity offers. We need
Masters, Lecturers, all officers that
will attend their Oranges regularly,
and promptly, that will prepare
themselves thoroughly for the posi-
tons they hold; and we need a mem
bership that feel that they have lost
immensely if they miss meeting of
their Grange; that the Grange must
and shall succeed, but that it cannot
succeed without their presence;
members, one and all, that feel that
they should sow the seeds of Grange
ism wherever they go. Take cour'
age, Brothers and Sisters; a great
future IS in store for you. Be faith
full; be true. Fraternally,

From The Workers.

The lette,s / Inf correspondents
show how earnest and enthusiastic
our leaders are, and with what vigor,
the Grange campaign of 1852 will
be prosecuted.
Worthy Master Rose. of the Texas
State Grange, has been in the field
over month, and though the
weather has been very inclement
and the roads almost impossible, he
has filled nearly all of his appoint
ments and his meetings were gene
rally we'll attended. In private
letter he informs us that he is greatly
encouraged by the zeal and interest
everywhere manifested, and that the
Order in Northeast Texas is in good
condition and steadily gaining
ground.
The talented and patriotic Secre-
tary of the Georgia State Grange
writes cheeringly and eloquently of
the cause in that State. The new
Master of the State Grange, Bro. H.
r. Deadwyler, will restore the Or
der to- its old time strength in
Georgia.
Worthy Master Burleson, of Nor
gan county, Ala, writes:
"We will have a glorious revival
of the Grange in Alabama this year.
Worthy Master Harrison has prom
iSed to spend two or three months
in North Alabama during the year,
and if he does l don't think there
will he a county north Of the noun
tains that will not be fully represen-
ted at the next meeting of the State
Grange. 1t is strange to me that
every Patron in the South don't
take THE PATRON. 1t is the most
fearless defender Of our rights that
we have"
Worthy Master L. H. Holcomb,
Of Cherokee county, Texas:
81 am proud to say that The PA
IRON is gaining ground in this part
of the country. The farmers are
getting their eyes open to a sense of
their duty, and the cry is for reform;
they are coming into the Grange for
protection, as it is the only only
source of relief"

sooner we commence the We. the
better it will be for our children.
So long as tie farmers of this
country remain in ignorance of the
principles which determine the
growth and forms the plants; 60
long as they remain ignorant of the
laws of vegetable physiology; 50
long as they remain ignorant Of
the elements of natural science

they have but poor idea of scien.

system of bookkeeping and are
content to plod along in a slip-sbod
sort of way without knowing what
it costs TO raise an acre of wheat
or cultivate an acre of corn, lust so
long will they be showers of wood
and drawers of water" for other
classes and other professions.
If we would place our profession
abreast of others-if we would oc.
cupy the position which we ought
if we would WELD the influence that
rightfully belongs to a profession
so noble and science so grand, we
must educate our sons as the Ger
mans do, in field measuring and
dwelling, applied mechanics, phys.
les, the theory of soils, draining and
irrigation, chemistry. botany, snat.
omy of plants, physiology and dis.
eases of plants, plant production,
fruit culture, forestry, anatomy and
physiology of domestic animals,
with description of breeds, veterin-
airy science, architecture and build
ing materials, agricultural nipple
ments, agricultural law, laws of ex-
change and political economy.
The fact is, we have been in.
clined to look upon agriculture as a
mere calling, and have never fully
comprehended the fact that it is a
science; and consequently too many
believe that there is no use for any,
thing else except practical work.
No graver mistake could be made.
The view is 2 narrow, contracted
one, and wherever it prevails the
consequences are disastrous to in
telligent farming.
The subject of agricultural edu-
cation should be thoroughly con-
sidered and discussed in the Gran
ges and other agricultural associa-
tons, and the best and most practi-
cable plan will in this way be de-
welcomed

ted over and over again by our
Presidents. Secretaries of State, by
Senators, and members of Congress,
and has been pronounced IN the
most emphatic manner by theilead-
ing newspapers of the country. We
now have an opportunity OF again
declaring it, but this time in a prac-
teal way. Declarations and reso
lusions, from whatever quarter they
may come, are well enough in their
place, but they amount to very little,
and are entitled to no respect, unless
the sentiments therein contained
find expression in some more sub
stantial way when opportunity
offers.
The construction of the ship
railway at Tehauntapec is a final
solution, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, of the much discussed ques-
ton of isthmian control. If this
railway be once constructed under
the patronage of the Government of
the United States it will supply the
present demands of commerce, and
will place the United States in such
relation in regard to isthmus transit,
and its cognate political relations,
as will make it simply impossible
for any foreign power to hereafter
control any other transit across our
isthmus, but if we refuse to lend
assistance to a project, the success
full consummatien of which is now
demanded by the commerce of the
world, we invite foreign capital to
embark in the enterprise, and the
investment of foreign capital means
the protection of foreign power.
