Our National Dangers.

The greatest changes in national life
that history tells of were invisible at the
time. Those who lived in the midst of
them, those whose very neglects and fol-
lies were bringing them to pass, were
wholly unconscious of them. Look
at that tremendous change from the
Rome of the republic to the Rome of the
empire. Rome in its best days was a
free, self-governing commonwealth; and
the old Roman character was distin-
guished not only for its force, but for its
reverence for law. How did that free,
sturdy republic sink into the servile
crowd that cringed before Tiberius or
Caligula ? 1t was, most of all, that they
let 60 in indolent neglect the duties of
free citizens. They let the public offices
become the prey of scheming time-serv.
ers. Enormous fortunes were amassed
by single individuals and used remorse-
lessly to capture the institutions of gov
eminent which were still nominally free.
So, little by little, all true freedom faded
out and with it the old Roman law.abiding
manhood, and Rome was ever sinking
lower in national life-and yet no one
knew it. When the old free institutions
we're fading into lifeless forms through
which despotism was stealthily creeping
in; when Roman society was growing so
debased at heart as TO be preparing to
take its fashion from Nero, all that
men noticed was that the city life was
growing more magnificent; the old brick
structures we're being replaced by splen-
did edifces of marble; the attractions of
luxury and pleasure we're drawing ever
larger crowds from distant places; and
busy citizens and luxurious patricians
never noticed, in the glory and glitter,
that all power was being more and more
concentrated in imperial hands. Nay,
they even counted it gain that all went
on so finely without troublesome de-
mands upon their time or service.-Broote

know nothing of abstract grammatical
rules. In our schools, by an inconceiva-
BILE faulty, they go at it in nearly the OPP
posite order, with corresponding results.
The late President Smith of Dartmouth
college once acknowledged to us, in a
chat we had with him on the cars, that
very few of the graduates of his college
could write Latin paragraph of ahundred
words correctly, off hand, and that their
practical proficiency in Greek was even
less. The whole thing would be solemn
farce, were it not q stupid fraud.
President Greenough very justly refers
to complaint (made, we believe, more
often insidiously in behalf of, than by,
the farmers) that all the graduates of ag-
ricultural colleges do not become farmers.
Most of the boys who go through such
colleges are poor, and farming requires
capital But besides that there is no
more sense in demanding of the agricul-
tural colleges that they should turn out
their graduates accomplished farmers than
that the other colleges should turn out
men fully equipped to follow other lines
of work. They must have experience in
the application of what they have learned,
before they can be successful farmers, just
as it is with the graduates of theological,
medical and legal schools. A great deal
of this class of criticism seems to be made
maliciously. Surely it is no new thing to
find men at work outside of the line of
their early education. The manager of
the best cheese factory in Maine is q
graduate of Harvard, and the same may
be said of the leading seedgrower of Mas
sachusetts. The intelligent farmers of
the country would be only too glad
if their ministers, their lawyers, their doc
tors and their merchants could have the
benefit of thorough course of training
in an agricultural college in addition to
their other qualifications. A man can
never know too much for any business, if
it is good sound knowledge.

The Champaign Sugar Works.

"The Champaign sugar works, Cham.
paign, ILL.,, were the first large sorghum
sugar works ever started in the United
States. They have ground the cane this
season raised on about one thousand acres
of land, and the result is perfect success
in the way of making first-class quality
of sugar that polarizes ninety-seven de-
grees, and much sweeter than sugar made
from cane or beet roots. For years expert
ments have been made to find out some
way to change sorghum syrup into sugar.
The attempt was unsuccessful up to last
year, when the state of Illinois offered a
bounty to any one who would succeed in
graduating the syrup into sugar. Ex-
periments made at the state university of
Illinois, in Champaign, by Professors
Weber and Scoville, succeeded in accom-.
plishing the result. A ready sale is found
for all the sugar and syrup made, and the
success there doubtless will cause sugar
works to be erected all over the West, for
sorghum cane will grow where corn can
he raised, and where farmers can make
SIS An acre in raising corn they can real
ize $50 an acre in raising sorghum cane to
sell to these factories"
We are surprised to find the above in
the Brattleboro Phenir. Professor Col
lier's success in successfully producing
both sorghum and corn-stslk sugar ante
dates the experiments at Champaign by
several years, and the methods practiced
there were founded upon those of Profess
sor Collier, though with some valuable
notifications, especially that of running
the cane through two consecutive sets of
rollers, sprinkling it as it passes from one
set to the other with spray of hot water,
thus obtaining considerably more of the
sweetness of the cane. Professor Weber
and Scoville used the time they were paid
for and the means supplied by the people
to the industrial university at Champaign,
and then patented the improvements they
devised. For this sharp practice they
were removed from their positions, but al
no pecuniary loss to themselves, appar
emily, as they are making money in the
sugar business.

IT could be that upon the most fertile
land in any country the farmers could be
80 poor as their dwellings seemed to in
dictate. They reminded me Of the farm
houses and farm.buildings in Maine in
the old rum time, when our people used
to spend in strong drink the entire value
of all our property in every period of less
than twenty years. | spoke of this to
gentleman who called upon me, and sug-
gested that it must come from whiskey,
beer and tobacco. NO. he said, the
farmers as rule, are not drinking
people. They were formerly drunken
lot, but within few years, they have be-
come sober and industrious. They are
renters and not owners of their farms.
The land is owned in large blocks by rich
proprietors who will not sell, but rent it
for payment in kind, twelve to fifteen
bushels of corn for each acre. The farm.
ers, therefore, have no inducement to
have good houses and barns, or to i'm
prove the land. Their interest is TO skim
It, and to spend upon it as little money
as possible. This is very bad system
for the country, but not so bad for us as
it is in England, where it is perpetuated
Here these great estates will be broken
up and divided upon the death of the
present proprietors, but it prevents the
improvement of the country"

HOme.Making.

The woman who is to be happy and use.
full as the maker aud mistress of home
must know the art of home-making and
home-ruling. Yet how very small place
is given to the teaching of these arts in
our schemes of education for girls We
should call that man fool who hoped to
see his son successful as merchant or
banker, but neglected to have him in
structed in the principles of arithmetic
and bookkeeping. But thousands of
girls are married every year who do not
know how to make loaf of bread, or to
set table, or to iron napkin, or to make
bed becomingly. Is it expected that serv-
ants shall do these things2 So the young
man, who is to be made into merchant or
banker, will have his book keepers to write
out his accounts aud make his arithmeticsl
calculations for him; but he must under
stand these processes for himself or he will
be at the mercy of his servants. More.
over, in the woman's case, there may not
always be servants or the means with
which to command their services and
their incompetence, at best, needs the SUI
pervision OF a mistress skilled in all their
arts. This seems homely matter, doubt
less, to those persons who see the COM
plete salvation of women in university ed
ucation but it is matter which touches
the happiness of women themselves, and
closely concerns the well-being of a world
whose whole life centers in and is founded
upon the home. 1t is not too much to
say that no girl ought ever to come to
maturity without having acquired both
skill and taste in every art of the house,
hold, or that no woman deficient in this
particular can marry without serious risk
to her own happiness and to that of the
persons about her. 1t does nobody any
harm for the mistress of household to
know how to calculate an eclipse, but it
is disastrous for her to be herself eclipsed
by her Bridget.-George Cary Eggleston,

IT is almost folly to try to raise fine
vegetables without heavy application of
manure, and the gardener should use
every sensible means to accumulate it
from every source. Stable manure, of
course, is his main reliance, but is often
held so high in some markets that it must
be handled economically and applied ta.
diciously to make it profitable to purchase
it. Commercial fertilizers are valuable,
but by the time the purchased price and
freightage is paid, it is doubtful whether
they are profitable to purchase. Forest
leaves, when we'll rotted, seem to be espe-
cially adapted to the gardeners wants.
Two.thirds leaf mould to one of stable
manure, composted together, kept moist
and well covered, forked over occasion
ally to make it fine and to regulate the
moisture, will be found rich in plant food,
and well adapted for any crop.

EDUCATION in every branch of the arts
and sciences, trades and professions, is
valuable, only as it is pursued with the in.
tention of acquiring knowledge for the
actual benefits it confers-the advantage
it gives its possessor over those who have
not secured it. The modern method of
studying farming-through the medium
of books, and by the aid of professors, So
called-is all well, provided the student
has been practical cultivator of the soil,
so that he can appreciate the subject upon
which his thoughts are engaged. And it
may be of much service to the man who
afterwards becomes, not in name only, but
in fact, farmer.

To destroy woodchucks, dip a rag in

If you cannot get at their holes they

WHENEVER bull becomes vicious he
is sent to the shambles and younger one

brief time only, for the younger one is
soon made to give place to another, and
thus are farmers prohibited, by their own
unwise methods, from using the more ma
tured bulls instead of those not fully
grown. A bull will always be cross at
times, and to attempt to procure one that
is gentle is a difficult undertaking. If a
