EDUCATED FARMERS.

No man ought to know so well as
the farmer that like produces like, and
that man will reap what he sows.
Every seed will bring forth after its
own kind. We do>not gather grapes
from thorns, or figs from thistles: Ii
you SOW wheat You will reap wheat,
If you plant corn you gather corn. No
man should know so we'll as the farmer
that this law holds good to other
things in life. A mans brain is a
soil as capable of producing harvest
as the land of a farmer. A neglect
to plant good seed will secure cor
responding harvest. Plant no seed,
and the most noxious weeds will cover
the ground. Plant tares and tares
will be the harvest. Plant falsehood
and luxuriant growth Of lies will be
secured, If you want your boys TO
be men, in the largest sense, see to
it that their minds are properly cultl-
waited and the right kind of seed is
planted. Give the boys the advantage
of a good education.

condition prevails between the great
branches of industry, into which the
human race divides itself, it is gener-
ally conceded that commerce bears to
agriculture the poetic relationship OF
hand maid. In the matter now under
consideration, that time honored rela-
tionship has undergone change for
the worse, and to-day the use of com
mercial fertilizers has assumed the
nature and attitude of step-mother
to agriculture, exacting extortionate
rates, with shylock penalties for few
and exceedingly doubtful or d'sporpor-
ts;omate benefits.

proof of this assertion ? find them

ing inability to pay cash. Some farm
ers consider it little steep, but have
so accustomed themselves to the pov
erty which it entails, that habit with
them has become q second nature.
Nor is it to be supposed that com,

ever permit such opportunities to pass

legitimate or not, $50 per cent. q

responsibility.
