Frozen Truth for Young Men.

Secretary Chamberlain Of the Ohio
Board of Agriculture has made himself
successful farmer, in spite of classical
education, and this is the wicked way in
which he talked before the alumni of
Adelbert College of Cleveland, only few
days ago:
GAIL through our college course we dug
Greek roots instead Of living plants or
fossils in the rocks. We watched the
quarrels of the gods over the growth of
ancient states, and not the struggles of
freedom now, and the throes of the great
state of which we are vital parts. We
studied augments, and increments, and
the growth of language, but not the geo.
logic growth of this great globe, or of the
plants and animals and human beings
that dwell upon it. Thus our minds were
busted about things far off in time and
space, while with the wondrous things Of
earth and air, of living plant and animal
and human organism-things closest to
us and that most intimately concern us
all, the college course seemed not to care
at all. With our thoughts on stars and
comets, on Greece and Rome, on accents
and dialetic forms, on introspection and
the laws of mind, we grew to be insensible
to facts and objects all about US, to Gods
handiwork in nature-and when we
stepped suddenly into actual life in the
great on-going world, we bitterly, bitterly
felt the need Of these and like things that
should have been in the course even then,
but are not even now. Again and again
were Open avenues to Influenza honor and
emolument closed to us by this lack of
fuller and more exact and practical scien-
tific training. Classmates and fellow al.
umni have felt the lack in different ways,
and in varying degrees of keenness or of
bitterness, and have often expressed it to
me. And 80 we return, after quarter of
century of battle and of struggle, and
claim the right to tell our alma mater in
what respects our successes and our fail
ures show Us that the training she gave US
may be changed or enlarged to the advan-
tage of the younger children now in tu-
telage."

The Horticultural Show at
New Orleans.

We have received the premium list of
the department of horticulture of the
Worlds Exhibition to be held at New Or
leans next winter. 1t embraces a wide
and full list of most liberal prizes in every
department of fruits and plants. In each
class of fruits full list is offered on for
eign exhibits, and on American exhibits
in the three classifcations of the northern
district, embracing the British Provinces
and that part of the United States east of
the Rocky Mountains and north of the
parallel of forty degrees; the southern
district, embracing all the United States
east of the Rocky Mountains and south of
forty degrees and the Pacific districts,
embracing the territory west of the Rocky
Mountains. The list also embraces trop.
ical fruits in every variety, and preserved
fruits, canned and evaporated, fruit trees
of all kinds, plants and flowers, together
with evergreen trees, shrubs, and bulbs
The exhibition is to open December Isl
and continue not later than May 3lst
The organization of the exhibition is in
the hands of the Mississippi Valley Hor

Collegiate IncOmpatibility.

The late DR.. Ezekiel Holmes, 80 long
the editor of the Maine Farmer, and so
prominent in all efforts for the benefit of
the working people in that state, was
chiefly instrumental in preserving the In.
dustrial College of Maine from being
swallowed up by one of the literary
colleges. The attempt was strenuously
made to steal the government bounty
there, as elsewhere, by the literary colleges,
who feared competition from such an en-
dowment, honestly used. On this subject
the Home Farm of Maine says
"In some of the states the mistake was
made of uniting the new, or industrial
and agricultural colleges, with already
established colleges, or forming some
great state university-but in every in
stance where such division of the
funds of the national grant was made the
old college has overshadowed and absorbed
the new scheme and its endowment, as
predicted by DR.. Holmes more than twenty
years ago. In California, its agricultural
college is connected with the state uni
versity, and has but few agricultural
students. In New York, Cornell Univer-
sity, which received the fund from the
United States, has but thirty agricultural
students out of total of four hundred.
In Connecticut, the agricultural depart
ment of Yale College has from three to
five students of agriculture. The great
Industrial University of the great agri-
cultural state of Illinois has a total of
three hundred aud fifty students, with
about twenty students of agriculture. In
Indiana, Purdue University, which re-
ceived the government endowment, with
total of two hundred and three students,
has only eleven in its agricultural course.
In Missouri, only twenty-one of the five
hundred students at her state university
are pursuing an agricultural course. In
Ohio, with college endowment of over
million of dollars, the college has never
sent forth an agricultural graduate. New
Hampshire, Minnesota, Nebraska, Yer
mont, New Jersey and Kentucky pre-
sent similar showing to the above; in
the latter state the farmers are dissatis-
fed, and are agitating the separation
of the agricultural college from the
State University. These are some of
the failures. In Maine, Iowa, Kansas,
Massachusetts,, Colorado, Texas, Michi-
gan and Mississippi, where there are
separate, independent and distinctive
agricultural colleges, there is the greatest
satisfaction and the largest number of
students. In some of these the methods
of study and experimental farm work are
somewhat formative, but they are toward
the farm and industrial pursuits, rather
than away from them. This was the
conception of DIR. Holmes-it is the idea
of every true agricultural educator at the
present day. Every college or univer-
sity,' says Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary of
the Ohio State Board of Agriculture, has
its atmosphere, its genius, its traditions.

promote and advance the interests of
agriculture. "-Kennebec County Republican
Convention.

lation as will tend to promote the sgri.
cultural interest of the state, preserve it's

Those of some colleges are toward theol
ogy, as of Williams and Obelin. Of
some toward literature, as Yale and Har.
ward. OF some toward science, as Cor.
nell and Johns Hopkins. In like manner,
| think we have right to claim that
the influence of all of our agricultural
colleges shall be decided towards and not
away from agriculture This was the
far-reaching view of DIR. Holmes, long
before an agricultural college had been
set in operation under the national en-.
dowment; and it is the plan now adopted
as correct by all our foremost teachers of
agricultural science and practice at the
present day."

The Farmers Boy at School.

A correspondent of an exchange, writ
ing on this subject, says
"But very few farmers boys attend
school in the summer after they are twelve
years of age; and why 7 Because they
are needed at home-in planting, to drop
potatoes and corn, and in hoeiug, to ride
the horse to cultivate, to pull weeds etc. !;
in haying, because help is scarce and the
hay must be spread and turned, while the
men are busy with the harder tasks of
moving or pitching, and boy can spread
hay as we'll as a man. Thus his life goes
on until he is sixteen or eighteen years of
age, and, only attending school in the win.
ter, his education is not better than it
should have been at fourteen and why 2
Because his terms of attending school are
80 far apart that he cannot KEEP interested
as he ought. He commences at fractions
one winter and goes as far as profit and
loss. The next winter there are examples
in fractions which he cannot perform. So
winter after winter he studies and forgets."
The same writer, after speaking of
Johnny's steers, but fathers oxen," of
which we hear so often, adds:
"Then, msyhap, there is q skating rink,
literary society or some other civil amuse-
ment in the village, and our farmer boy
wants to go; but he knows full we'll what
the answer will be. But at last, after
putting in two or three extra good days
work, hoping to get the good will of the
l 60 to this ?-all the young people of the
village are going And he receives this
answer or a similar one, Il should like to
know what new way you will find to spend
money next; and besides, the horses have
enough to do. l never went to skating
rink or literary club when was boy,
and l don't see but l have got along
well enough Now where is the boy that
has spunk, grit or the least idea of indie.
pendence, that will urge this question
farther after such an answer, When l
was boy That is phrase used alto
gether too often. What do you expect
What do you want? Do you want your
boy put back fifty years ? 1t is also my
opinion that your memory is not too cor
rect concerning the period when you
were boy Give the boy chance; help
him, encourage him in everything pertain
ing to farm life. Give him q piece to
plant with corn or potatoes, and see how
nicely he will keep it. Give him pair
OF steers or a sheep or two, let him have
the care of them, sell them and purchase
again, exercising his own judgment; and
he will soon be good Judge of stock, and
as capable of making trade as you. Then
when he owns farm of his own, or takes
charge of the old one, he can care for it,
and will be interested in the same. Boys
must have amusements use them as you
would like to be used if you were boy.
Let them have books and papers, good
moral ones, and above all let them have
good education, place in your heart and
a pleasant home. Don't curb them too
short
Our own boys, four of them, are under
the sod; but if these thoughts will help
other fathers to more liberal ideas about
their boys-their rights, their feelings and
their happiness-we shall be glad to have
printed them.

Seed-COrn.

Repeated experiments have demon.
strated that the safest and best plan for
saving seed.corn is to save the ear entire.
Although to all appearances the middle
and fully formed, best shaped kernels
would seem to be the best to plant, yet in
reality to pursue this practice continu-
ously results in rapid deterioration in the
quantity and quality of product Let the
selection be confined to the fittest ears,
and let every kernel on such ears, from
butt to tip be planted. This will insure
fxity of type, and an improvement in
quantity and quality"
We cut the foregoing from an exchange,
to show how some people will neglect facts
to run after new notion. A single ex-
pertinent at the New York Experiment
Station seemed to show that the small
kernels at the tip of the ear yielded better
when planted than those from the middle,
or butt. Single experiments in plenty
have been made that showed better
crop from light wheat or oats than from
heavy seed, and few potato-growers have

from planting of small seed. But man
is An idiot who will undertake to establish
a general rule from such chance results.
And he is worse than an idiot when he
says that planting corn from the middle
of the ear "results in rapid deterioration
in the quantity and quality of the seed"
1t is the almost universal practice of our
farmers to do that very thing, and has
been 30 time out of mind. We do not
know what this silly writer means by
"rapid deterioration," but certainly the
average corn crop in New England, where
that practice has always prevailed, is the
largest in the country, and has steadily
increased.

College Statistics.

According to President Barnard of
Columbia College, in the last fifty years,
while the population has increased four
fold, the number of college students has
but just doubled. When we consider that,
probably, there are now twenty fathers
who are able to send their sons to college
where there was one fifty years ago, and
yet but half as many do 60, in proportion
to population, as went then, one would
suppose that the managers of colleges
would begin to suspect that something or
other is wrong in their management. The
truth is, that they are behind the times.
They fail to offer the education that is
needed and demanded by the newer gen.
erations. That is one, and the great
reason. Another is, that the richer a
college gets the more it costs to have a
boy educated there. The whole manage
ment of Harvard, Yale, Columbia and
the other leading colleges is such as to
make the training offered by them worth
less and cost more than ever before. And
the smaller colleges are following along in
the same track. There are exceptions, it
is true, but so few that they amount to
but little comparatively. There is proba-
bly, not college in the country to-day in
which the gift of million of dollars
would not be followed by rise of fifty
per cent in the cost of its course of edu
cation to all except the charity students.

Country Roads in Great Britain.

An article on gCountry Roads in the
agricultural department of the New York
Observer of June Goth, suggests the
thought that some observations on the
country roads of Great Britain might in.
terest the readers of the Observer, coming
as they do from an American who is
spending most of the GUNNER in carriage
rides through various parts of that
country. In some of my early letters to
friends at home, I wrote that 81 the farms
in England are as handsome as parks, and
the roads as good as park roads," After
many weeks of further observation there
is but little to modify in that assertion,
more than to say there are exceptions.
Most roads here have surface of broken
stone or gravel and are rounded to the
center, 30 as to shed the water rapidly,
and prevent washing. Repairs are gener-
ally of the same material and put on in
the same form. The most important roads
near to or through the towns are generally
rolled smooth, but the country roads are
left to be smoothed and hardened by Or
binary traffic. The top dressing is put
on in the winter, or early spring-and
poles, or large stones, are laid 80 as to keep
travel where it is wanted--and the sur
face is worn to good condition by summer.
The softer stone, such as limestone or
slate, is used where it is accessible, in pref
erence to harder material as they wear
down, and pack sooner. 1t is exceedingly
rare to see any road, even those but little
used, with only an earth surface. 1t has
been said, and it does not appear exagger-
ated, that one horse will perform on these
roads as much as two horses can on the
average earth roads of America, and that
vehicles will wear twice as long. Even if
this estimate is too great it is near
enough correct to show that good roads
are the cheapest in the end. In many Sec
tions of America stone or gravel is out of
the question, on account of its great cost,
but some substitute should be found. A
beginning might be made by using the
best materials attainsble to fill in ruts,
holes, and soft places-and this, of itself,
in few years would produce great i'm.
provement. The writer remembers a
road near his early home which was almost
impossible at all seasons on account of
deep sand in some parts and thick layer
of clay in others. The difficulty was
obvisted by making the road.bed of alter
nate layers of sand and clay, and it is
now in fair order all the year round.

Feeding Pigs.

The editor of the Maine Farmer, who
is an expert dairyman, says: d" Feeding
nothing but corn.meal and milk is not the
most profitable way of using the milk. 1t
does not give solid food enough to distend
the stomach properly for realizing the
best effects. Experiments by creamery
managers have shown that better results
could be made by making grass part of
the ration. Grass is perfect food of it.
self, and does not affect the relation be-
tween meal and milk, but fed in con.
nection with them, makes An increase in
weight at the lowest possible cost. By
giving his swine run of pasture, as every
farmer can do when making butter on his
farm, we do not see why he cannot
make the refuse of his dairy pay for pro-
ducing his milk, and get his butter for
the making"

BROTHER DOLE hits the nail square in
the following. An orchard, to be profit
able, must be kept rich awe recently
looked over an orchard, part of which
was set more than twenty-five years ago,
and part of which has been set about a
dozen years. The noticeable feature was
the effect of manure on the apple crop.
Several years ago the owner, thinking that
apples were becoming so plenty as to have
no value, neglected the orchard, taking off
the hay every year, for it was in grass,
and putting nothing back. A part of it,
however, is so situated as to secure the
wash of the yards where cattle are kept,
which keeps the land rich. Nearly
every tree in this rich soil is thrifty and
loaded with apples, while the remaining
part of the orchard looks bad and the trees
have scarcely any apples"
