Education for Farmers.

Correspondence New England Farmer.
The substitution of the study of natural
philosophy chemistry and physiology in
place of portion of the time devoted to the
study of arithmetic and geography would
serve to give the pupils an education which
would be of more practical value, and, by
the addition of the study of agriculture it
would furnish those who were subsequently,
to become farmers an education which would
be of great practical value and afford a sub
stantial basis upon which to erect noble SUI
perstructure of self-education.
There is ample scope for the farmer to use
all the education that he can acquire, and no
one need abandon agriculture in order TO
seek employment which will call forth
all the powers of the mind. In graphing
with the many questions which are pressing
upon the attention of agriculturists, and
vigorous intellect will find ample exercise.
When the farmer enters upon the practice of
agriculture. however thorough his prepare
tory education has been, he has just begun
the educational course of his life. As an
active and progressive agrieulturist he will
be close student and learn daily more and
more in regard to this, his life work. The
better the preparatory education and train
ing of the farmer, the better will be his start
in life, and in~erder to give all fair start it
is highly essential that the instruction given
in our common schools should be such as
will be- to large extent, of practical value
to the farmer. That change can be made
in the course of study pursued in the COM
mon Schools such as will attain this object
can be easily demonstrated. This is a matter
worthy of the attention of farmers and all
interested in education.

Polled Cattle.


Other things being equal, polled animal
is preferable to a horned one 1t would be
a misfortune to make a cross which would
introduce horns among our long and middle
wooded sheep. A Devon, Hereford or Short
horn COW or steer, minus the horns would
be better in all respects save appearance, and
that is largely matter of taste and cultiva-
ton. The energetic efforts to popularize the
polled breeds in this country assure the
reasonable success of the Angus. The red
polled Norfolk and Suffolk cattle of England
have been introduced in smaller numbers,
but have given satisfaction so far as has been
learned. They have two advantages over
their Scotch riva1s-their red color is popu-
lar here, while the black meets with some
prejudice; and they are credited
with being better mixers, as a class,
than the Scotch polled Against these ad-
vantages are to be placed the somewhat Sc
rious objections of smaller size and less per-
feet FORM from the meat-producing stand
point. 1t is fortunate. however, that good
many of the Norfolks are of medium size
and some of them are good beef animals. On
the whole, we should welcome larger num-
bers of them to give fuller trial. The An
gus and the Norfolk have been greatly I'M
proved, and the present types fixed within
comparatively recent years. like work
can be done in this country. Whatever ex-
PLANTATION can be given, it seems fact that a
hornless sire or dam more certainly trans
mits this character to its offspring than does
horned parent transmit its horns when the
two classes are crossed. This being true, it
will not be an especially difficult task to
produce families of poIled cattle which will
possess in good degree all the other char
acteristics of the Hereford or the short
horn

His Views on the Elections and the Pros
poets for the Future.
Washington Special.
The Presidents opinions on current events
are rarely expressed in print but it appears,
according to the Sunday Herald. that he,
concerning the elections of the past week,
did unbosoln himself to one OF his particular
friends in the cabinet, and gentleman who
represents an important bureau of the gov
eminent He said to the last named on
Friday, in the course of long conversation,
that he was we'll enough satisfied with the
result excepting in Virginia From that
State he had expected better things, as he
had been told that Mahones organization
was so thorough that it could not be beaten.
$50 far as Massachusetts aud Pennsylvania
are concerned" he said, II consider
that the results in those States have
an important bearing on the presiden-
tial election of next year. Elections
of Democratic Governors in them last year
was no guarantee that they would be Demo-
cratic this time, As for New York, 1 con-
slider that our overwhelming defeat of last
wear has been nuilified by the success of this
falls election, and that we may safely count
on that State in 1884. The one thing do re-

crat who could carry his own State in presi-
dental contest Butler never had any chance
for the presidential nomination. even if
he had been elected this time The indica-
lions are that Ohio or Indiana will furnish
the Democratic nominee for the presidency,
and the battle of the coming campaign
will be fought over on the ground where it
was fiercest in $780, By this I mean that the
bitterest of the fight will be in Indiana, Ohio
and New York. Without New York no can
didate can be successful and that State has
shown its hand. l am not uneasy about the
next years contest, for majority of nearly
100000 disappeared like the morning mist
when the people got to understand the con-
dition of things, and got to know that DEM
ocratic victory this year meant one the next
time" To another gentleman the President
said that he was more disappointed at the re-
suit in Virginia than anywhere else. His
own State had handsomely Endorsed his adj
ministration, and if Virginia had gone as he
confidently believed it would go, there would
be nothing to regret. Without that State
he thought the party could win, and he in
tended to proceed on that theory

1t is quite possible that the hog cholera
that has so suddenly disappeared from GER
tain sections was the result of feeding by a
certain system rather than a contagious dis
ease Pigs fed on corn for generations are
deprived of the heterogeneous elements of food
and the flesh is little more than thin cells of
animal tissue filled with oil. Nature may
have, to certain extent, been provided for,
but not with an evenly-balanced ration, and
when from any cause the functions of the sys-

the cholera was the result. When the bet

The sad Story of n Noted Family Recalled
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE sale of the
Thompson mansion, Familiarity known as the
Little White House." owing to its resem-
blance to the executive mansion, revives the
sad story Of roted family. The original
owner was Colonel James Thompson, of the
marine corps, who had only one child, q
daughter of rare beauty. At the age of nine
teen she married Nj. Hirsout, member of
the French legation. who soon after was or
dered to South America. He took his wife
with him, and a year later news
reached Washington that she had died
in childbirth. Mrs. Thompson for some
reason refused to believe that her daughter
was dead, and accused her son-in-law of
placing his wife in a convent so he might
pay his addresses to another, In order to
satisfy his mother-in-aw of her mistake,
Hirsout ordered the hearts of his wife and
child removed from their bodies and placed
in liquor. He then forwarded the phial, with
certificate as to its contents, 10 Mrs.
Thompson. The package was opened by
Mrs. Thompson herself, she little knowing
what it contained. When she learned the
truth the shock was so great that 1t berett
her of reason, and she became Taying ma
MAC She died shortly afterward, and the
phial was buried with her. A marble shaft
bearing two hearts marks her resting place
in Oak Hill cemetery. The purchaser of the
mansion is Edward d.. Kenly, an English
man of wealth.

A writer in the American AgFiculturist
saws he has farmer friend who has sixty
colonies OF bees, fine flock of light Brabma
fowls, and farm of 40 acres. He has two
sons, aged thirteen and sixteen years, re-
spectively, and the elder boy has entire
charge of the bees, of which be is very fond.
He runs his sections extracts the honey, in
PRODUCES queens, divides the bees, and rears
queens with a skill which many a veteran
might envy. He is already well known.
The other takes care of the fowls, and each
of the boys receive a liberal share of the
profits of the business.
It is good plan to give the boys an inter-
est in the work on the farm by allowing
them a reasonable share of the profits arising
from their labor. Aside from making them
contented to stay on the farm, it teaches
them business methods and makes good
practical businessmen of them.

CORN AND POTATOES.
The Former Crop Short of Last Year-An
Increase In the Cotton Crop.


WAsHINGToN, Nov. 12-The Novem-
of Agriculture gives the total
yield per acre. In the October final report, the
words, condition of corn. which averaged
seventy-eight" were interpreted TO mean
that the product was "close to 1000 900, 900
bushels" The average yield per acre APP
pears to be twenty-three and one-tenth BUSH
els, one and one-half bushels per acre lower
than the yield of 1882. This gives result
practically identical with that of October.
On the acreage reported in July, the exact
figure would be fifteen hundred and seventy
seven million bushels. In the revision of
the seasons returns this result will not be
materially changed. The prodnct will
therefore be about 100000 bushels short
of the previous crop, Notwithstanding the
increased acreage.
The potato crop is large, amounting to
175 000 900 bushels.

Pail Mall Gazette.
A very curious quarrel, il so it may be
termed, is reported from York. The Arch
bishop admires Luther aud believes in the
reformation. The dean regards the great
German as a schismatic and a heritic, and
deplores the reformation as, tosay the least, a
grave spiritual blunder. Hence, when it was
believed the Archbishop was going to preach
sermon in honor of Luther in the cath edral,
the dean announced that he would not at
tend the service. The Archbishop, it seems,
never intended to preach in the cathedral,
but in a neighborlng church. But the deans
protest has drawn from hima letter which
will be read with anything but satisfaction
by the dean and the anti -Protestants OF his
party Altogether it is a striking illustra-
lion of the diversity in unity which charac-
terizes the English church, and suggests re-
Elections as to whether a still further extern
sion of the elasticity of the Anglican COM
munion is entirely beyond the region OF
practical politics.
