Correction Through a mistake OF

Correction Through mistake of
the groom who had charge of the fine
stallion belonging 10 Messrs. f. r. and
Fl. NJ. Turner, of hepherdstown, w.
VA, which was exhibited at our late
fair, and which was awarded the frs
premium, the Messrs. Turner did not
get the benefit of the publication of the
award which was made. The published
announcement gave the premium to
horse which had not really been exhib-
tied, anu the groom, in confounding the
numbers of the horses in his charge, led
the judges and the clerks into error.
This correction is due Aessrs. Turner,
as their horse was really one of the
finest OF his class which it has been our
pleasure to see for long time--Hag-
ersto,cn Ne,cs.

Mind In Farming.

The idea has generally prevailed in the
past. and possibly more by farmers than
others. that for the business Of farming
bnt little intellectual training was nec-
esssry. A willingness to work on in the
old routine. that has been transmitted
from the practices Of the past, was all
that could be safely relied on for success.
This narrow view, born and kept alive by
ignorance only, is . mistaken fallacy Of
the past, fast dying out. rather than the
continent Of intelligent. present thought
The agriculture Of today is not based on
manual labor alone The education Of
the mental faculties. as we'll as the train
ing Of the hand TO work skillfully, j.
recognized as an essential in fitting for
the life work Of the farm, Upon these,
intelligence and labor combined, rest the
hope Of progress in agriculture. And yet
IL may be questioned If farmers fully
appreciate the value to their children Of
home training and education in the work
and in the business Of the farm. Each
year there go out from the farms young
men and women 10 assume the work Of
managing farms for themselves. Are
these young men and women as well ed
ucated and trained in the work and bust
ness aifairs OF the farm as they, the sons
md daughters Of farmers, ought, with
their opportunities, to be? We fear there
d yet too much Of indifference in parents
10 teaching their children the business OF
not only As trade. but a.
profession. II ought to be kept con-
'tsntly in view that the training and ed
ncation needed BY the farmers can largely
% learned at home, and that the practic-
i knowledge thus gained will be of in
.stimable value so much capital with
which to begin the business Of farming. =
