EDUCATED FARMERS.

Education, Combined with Skill and In
dustFy, VIII Make Better Farmers.
The honored yice-president of the
Young Farmers Club in Mississippi,
although veteran editor and farmer,
always has a cheering word and pleas
ant smile for the young farmers. There
are no better men than Hon. David Dem
nett, of Brookhaven, Miss, and this is
what he says, in his agricultural depart
ment of the New Orleans Picayune,
about educating the young farmers for
the future:
The coming schoolmaster and school
mistress will teach more utility, moral
ity and kindness to men and animals,
more self-protection and self-reliance
than the old schoolmasters taught The
result will be the world will have better
farmers and mechanics, better artists,
better men, better citizens and better
voters-better rulers and better law
makers, and better governments than
ever before.
1.-THE farmer and horticulturist and
the stock-breeder viii have better and
more beautiful farms and gardens and
orchards and vineyards, finer hocks and
herds than ever before, the grandest do
nestle animals that ever graced a farm
or delighted the farmer. Homes on the
farm will be more beautiful, the taste
for flowers and fruits, and for all that is
beautiful and attractive in rural life
will increase greatly; farmers sons will
not desire to leave home and become
clerks and book-keepers in cities, and if
the daughters get married they simply
move to other farms to help educated
and prosperous young farmers make
even better home than that where
the old folks stay"
The young farmers and gardeners and
stock-breeders, the new generation of
finished artisans and skilled mechanics,
the new order of male and female
teachers, and ladies who follow indus
trial pursuits, the humane and religious
and benevolent societies, will all help
make the world wiser and better and
happier. Merit and utility viii be more

FRED DOUGLAS, minister to Hayti, has
returned for few months visit to this
country. Douglas, who is perhaps the
most persistent Office holder in the re-
publican party, says that he finds life
very pleasant in the island OF revolu-
tions. The reports Of his reception, he
says, were exaggerated, and he is now
on friendly and even intimate terms
with Hippolyte's government. Mr..
Douglas thinks there are great posi-
bilities for the country, but as he shows
they must come from the enlightenment
Of education. There is no lack of re-
sources and tho people are making rapid
strides toward civilization. Mr.. Doug
Lar believes Hayti is good field for in.
vestment, and he thinks the day of rev
olutions is rapidly passing away.
