IL sueeessfuliy-Se we Thought, and
so we concluded that we could earn
more bread by setting type than we
could by sgee' and + haw."
But as to Judge Houk's fesolu
ton: There is nothing in it. No
member of Congress ever thought
that the appropriation made some
years agoofseveral millions of acres
of public land for the purpose Of en-
downing agricultural colleges in
the various States would be of any
special practical benefit to the farm
ers of the country. It was only
great grab on the public treasury
it was only scheme to give away
the public domain and to provide
salaries for a largo number of pro-
fessors throughout the UnitedStates,
who were and yet are sadly in need
of salaries. We need educated farm
ers, it is true, but the only way to
educate them is to send the boys to
the ordinary schools, colleges and
universities of the land and require
them to go through the routine of a
regu ar course of study. An agri-
cultural college as q specially is a
humbug and a swiRdle. One corn
field, with an industrious boss to
manage it, is worth dozen or six
teen colleges in teaching boy how
to be farmer. We wouldn't give
Col. Lutz's or William Carmack's
knowledge of practical farming for
that of any four pl Ofessors in the
biggest college in America, and we
will bet nickel, with a hole in it,
that Gregory Ash can make bet
ter ditch, and make it quicker, than
could the entire faculty of the Uni
versity of Tennessee. Education is
a good thing in a family and every
boy and girl in the United States
ught to have some of it, but the
best way to be a good farmer is to
live in the country and learn how to
do the work. That beats agricul-
tural colleges. And hereafter we
hope the government will keep its
land for actual settlers and not per-
NIT it to be gobbled up, as so much
of it has been in the past, by land
grabbers, under the fraudulent pre-
text of building railroads, establish

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES AND.
THEIR ARISES


Judge Hsuk's resolution, recently
introduced in the House, to invesli-
gate the agricultural colleges that
received aid from the general gov
eminent, is doubtless aimed at the
University of Tennessee, at Knox
Vile. We are not sufficiently in
formed as to the conduct of that in
stitution to know whether it needs
Investigation" or net. As to whe-
Their it has been managed as liter
airy institution, following the usual
curriculum of ordinary universities,
or as an agricultural college," we
are not informed. In fact, we don't
know what an agricultural college"
is, or how one is or should be car
ried en-. What is an agricultural
college" any way? What do they
teach in school Of that kind? Do
they have professors, of blowing,
hoeing, ditching, rail splitting, fence
building, planting, sowing, reaping,
etc, and do the said professors de-
liver regular lectures ON these vari-
GUS branches of agriculture Do
they take the boys out and give
them practical lessons in all these
accomplishments? For instance,
does the professor of the plow take
his class out and go through the
motions of Harvesting and hitching
the mules to the plow and then pro
eeed to the actual work, telling the
class which is :" gee" and which is
/" haw?" And do they have text
books, with all the lessons put down,
SO that the boys can "get their les
sons" before the boys go out to the
field with the professor to say EN-
We ask these questions because OF
our utter ignorance of the way in
which an agricultural college is
usually run. But if that is the way
they do, we attended one once for
whole week, but did not graduate or
get q diploma. That was long ago
80 long that itseems like dream
when we think of it. 1t was a way
back in the forties. We were a
slender, wee bey-not heavy enough
TO hold the plow in the furrow. Our
uncle Jimmy was kind hearted
man, but he believed in making
boys work, and 50 he selected old
Fan" for us to plough in putting in a
crop of wheat. We went to the field
with the other " hands, " old Far"
dragging q shovel-plow at her heels,
and in due time uncle Jimmy start
ed US in on our " land" We plow-
ed Well, yes, we plowed And
our kind uncle Jimmy followed aft
CT us and told us all about q gee"
