HE AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION MAT

TER.
The bill introduced in the House on
Ionday, dealing with the subject of an
agricultural school, was the first gun of
Ehat promises to be the hardest battle of
he session. The main provisions of the
neasure are stated in the legislative re-
|ort, in another column. The proposed
legislation may not be altogether sound,
Tut the chief idea contained in the bill,
hat the farmers have a school of their
wn, is one which has firm hold on
terry many of those chiefly interested.
The money with which such an insti-
ution can be sustained comes from the
eneral government. Away back in the
hrly sixties Congress passed an act un-
er the provisions of which Vermont
eceived Sl35, 800, the income from which
vas intended to 60 for instruction in
griculture and the mechanic arts. This
und is invested in six per cent registered
tate bonds the income is $3.50. The
Hatch bill, enacted in 1887, gives the
tate Sl5, 900 year for the support OF
n experiment station. Still another bill
which passed Congress in August last
rovides that the State shall have $1,000
he first year the law is in force, $4,000
he second year md so on t,il the annual
Income from thi. source shall he S2j 900
nd that sum is to be continued in
definitely. The State now has, it will
|e seen, over S}S. 900 Il year to devote to
he purpose of instruction in agriculture
nd the mechanic arts, and ten year,
ence it will have over $4,000 year.
The university at Burlington has had
he $3.50 year for over - years and
he Sl5,0O year under the Hatch bill
nce the enactment OF the law. II
would naturally like to have the whole
hing and it is actively moving to secure
But it is grave question in tn,
linds of larger portion of the farmers
ghether the University has given such re
Irns for the money she has had as t,
variant the State is entrusting more
unds to her, or even allowing her to keel
phat she has. Indeed, there are thos
|ho openly charge that the money ha
cen outrageously misappropriated
Iowever that may be, it is certain tina
he farmers of the State have little t.
how for the money which has gone t.
he university. 1t is true the college a
whole has grown, but that it has sensi
|ly benefited the farmers, except ind
ectly by affording the orthodox colleg
ducation to their sons, it would be diff
|ult to prove. The least that can be sal
that the union of The two concerns ha
been unfortunate so far as agriculture
Instruction was involved.
But, after all, what the farmers wan
not college. They need a first-clas

For DISCONTINUED veRMoNTeRs.

The farmers of Brown county, 5. D.,
have appealed for help, saying that the
crop failures have left them destitute !;
sour fuel is gathered from the pastures,
out clothing is thin and worn, and our
farms and stock are mortgaged to such
an extent that no further loans can be
secured on them" This is much the
same story sent out from the Dakotas
last year. The discontinued young men
on the farms of New England should
find in these appeals much to be needed

Ridgeland, Ill, May 18th, of Bright's dis
ease, and was inferred in Kenosha May Is,
aged AZ years.
Miss johnson was the daughter of r. M.

She has been an invalid for more than
twenty years, having suffered with hip dis

ignation, as well as perfect rest and trust in
her Savior. She was ready and was glad to
go when the summons came.

Abstract Books, Plats, Maps and other
things and materials pertaining to or used
in making Abstracts of title to real estate"
and mentioned in the pleadings of said ac-
tion.
Recorded in Clerk Circuit Courts office

Sd. Sale of said property made in con-
formity to said order at public auction at

4th. Order confirming receivers report

John T. Wentworth presiding as Circuit
Judge
See Book A of Order in Office of Clerk
Circuit Court page 30
9Th The following copy of receipt of S.

said property, will explain itself, and con-
cludes the whole matter as far as S. Y.
Brande is concerned:
S2.437.7O.
Received of D. Head as receiver of
Brande & Theirs, this eighteenth day of
September, 1885, twenty. four hundred thir-
ty-seven and 70-100 dollars in full for
money received from all sources, also all

ton which has not been sold In full as per
inventory at the time he was appointed re-
ceiver, and further agree that said receiver

and nature growing out of his receivership.
S. Y. Be ANDE.
Witness: z. G.. SIMMONS.
With reference to the books purchased
from J. NJ. Stebbins, the Brande Abstracts
are included in the bill of sale, constituting
the evidence of our ownership to this prop
eIty in question.
Now, if Mr.. Brande's statement that said
books are his property, and that we assume
to own the said property, which cannot be.
long to us for the reason that we cannot
show bill of sale from him, we simply say
that he being lawyer, knows, or should
know, that if his statement is true he has
his remedy to substantiate his assumption.
With the foregoing explanation we bid a
final adieu to S. Y. B.
