late President Chadbo rne, of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College, spoke
upon the education of farmers sons.
He advised the establishment of such
societies as were useful, insomuch that
they bring the farmers together to ex-

other people in discussion. and knew
what was re luired He had himself in
herited a farm which his grandfather
had before him That gentleman
planted large orchards of ap estomake'
cider, which had been curse, but
poop now were learning lessons from
the past . AS a consequence, farmers

of infinite value. Men could not inn

upon the N embers the desirability there

gatherings as the present one. Then
he would have them see that the, State
should take. the same interest in agri-
