Farming Graduates.

agricultural Editor: One objection made
to the work done in colleges where agri-
culture is taught is put into the assertion
that graduates do not become farmers.
Most of these colleges are only semi-agri-
cultural, but among those that are purely
agricultural we probably can not find more
than two which have sent one-third of their
graduates into farming. While such pro-
portion of farmers does not satisfy some of
the ardent friends of agricultural education,
it seems very large when compared with
the proportion of farmers found among the
graduates of colleges not teaching agri-
culture. A chance of comparison is fur
nished by the recently-published catalogue
of the graduates Of " Dartmouth College
and Associated Institutions" Among the
twenty three hundred living graduates of
Dartmouth College there are some farmers
although many Of them are retired minis
tiers. Those catalogued as farmers make
three per centum Of the whole. The Col
lege of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts
in connection with Dartmouth has two
courses of study in which the students are
about equally divided. or the one hundred
thirty living graduates, one-fourth OF the
whole are farmers. If the objection is
made that such a comparison can not fairly
be made between scientific school and a
classical one. we can turn to the part Of the
catalogue given TO the Chandler School of
Science We find, however, that among
over three hundred living graduates only
three and one-half per centum are farmers.
II seems, then, at Dartmouth that if the
student enters the department having the
agricultural course, he has eight chances of
becoming farmer to one chance in any of
the other departments. S.

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on a powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
it caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows his system to be-
come clogged up, and his blood poi
soned, and thereby his health sndan-
gered. To eradicate these poisons from
the system, no matter what their name
or nature, and save yourself a spell of
malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or
eruptions. swellings, tumors and kim
dred disilgurcments, keep the liver and
kidneys healthy and vigorous, by the
use of DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It's the only plood-puriiier sold
on trial. Your money is returned if it
doesn't do exactly as recommended. A

Questions Answered.


agricultural Editor" Can you, through
the columns of your paper, tell us how to
save appe-trees from the leaf-eating insects
other than common caterpilars when they
come on in spring? Please give description
Of these varieties OF apples Scott's Winter,
Plumb's Cider and Magog Redstreak.
A. NJ. FOSTER.
REPLY.-The only way found so far
is to spray the foliage with paris green,
pound of the poison to from fifty to
one hundred gallons of water. The
latter is probably strong enough for the
purpose, and if made stronger there is
danger of injuring the foliage. "Scott's
Winter" is dark red apple of about
the size of Fameuse, or a little larger.
1t is a round, heavy, solid apple, much
like the russets in texture, and is in
deed sometimes slightly russetted. 1t
is the longest keeping irOn-clad apple
yet discovered, and is an excellent pie
apple at any time. 1t is not ripe for
eating until April, and continues good
often into August, if properly cared for.
" Plumb's Cider" is western fall
apple that is nearly iron-clad and a
good bearer, but the fruit has little to
recommend it, now that so much better
kinds, equally or more hardy, have be-
come known. 1t is of medium size, ir.
,;aIN ~ Il
red. Magog Red Streak is native
seeding of Orleans county, very hardy,
as much so as " Wealthy" and of very
good quality, especially as pe-apple.
In fact, there is hardly better cooking
apple known. 1t keeps all winter if
well cared for, but is not quite reliable
in this respect. Until we got the
Wealthy" it was our best apple, and

Editorial NOtings.

THE secretary of the New Hamp-
shire board of agriculture says that a
" COW in milk weighing about one thou
sand pounds will give pretty good re-
suits at TIE pail if her daily feed con-
tains about two and one-half pounds of
fesh-forming elements (albuminoids
or protein) to thirteen and one-half
pounds of heat-producers, such as sugar,
starch and fat. That is, the feed should
furnish one pound of digestible protein
to five and one-half pounds of heating
elements, or should have a nutritive
ratio of one to five and One-half. Good
clover hay has just about this ratio, but
if fed alone the COW would have to eat
more clover hay than she could digest
and more than would be profitable.
My own cows (weight nine hundred
to one thousand pounds) get twenty
pounds of mixed hay, twelve pounds of
shorts and three pounds of cotton-seed
meal per head daily. This furnishes
just about the proportion of feeding
elements named above, and gives me
the most profit"

IN China the only domesticated food
animals are the pig and various kinds
of poultry-both of which can be made
to utilize what otherwise never would
be gathered or would be unavoidably
wasted. Chinese economy and inge-
nuity is finely shown in their training
ducks to catch fish. 1t is only in these
ways that animal food can be afforded
in such crowded countries.

IT is generally thought that northern
horned stock must go through danger
Gus process of acclimation in the South,
but this is mistake. There are many
thousand Jersey cows in the South
in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia, South and North Carolinas,
and even in Louisiana and Mississippi
and the only precaution ever taken has
been to move them in the fall, so that
the animals may have the cool weather
to travel in and become used to their
new homes before they get settled down
to business; and then, instead of de-
teriorating, they seem as if they were
really improved by the change, gaining
through the mild, pleasant winters in
creased energy and ability for produc-
ton. 1t will therefore be seen that our
proposition to place the deep milking
Dutch cows upon the meadows of south
western Louisiana is quite feasible.

How is this? A writer quoted in the
Tribune says: Two young men, dis
cussing choice of occupation, assured
me that if they became farmers they
could not marry so advantageously.
Both are well-to-do; one would receive
farm at once from his father if he
would marry and occupy it. He, and
the other, said the girls objected to the
hard lives which wives of even well-off
farmers are called upon to endure. Is
there no relief" Now, this is all un-
blessed nonsense. The country is full
of the very best sort of girls, perfectly
willing to marry our industrious and in
telligent young farmers, and no other
kind ought to marry. Anybody who
visits round a spell upon New England
farms can not fail to see that the
women there are fully the equals of the
men,-or of any other men, for that
matter. The greatest men this coun-
try ever produced were born upon
farms, and where did they get theil
greatness if not in great part from
their mothers? Go to the cities to-day
and if you can get into good society
there you will find the finest women in
it, the most truly ladylike, were born
and bred in the country,-and thai
from these as mothers are born almost
every city-born man with stamins
enough to succeed in anything. "I'
there no relief" Good graciousl We
should hope that some relief could bt
found for the idiot who started tina
idea, as well as for the girls for whom

BUT we must be allowed to ask,
Why has the literary college not been
discredited by its alliance with the in
dustrial college? We wish that the re-
port had been little more explicit on
that subject. Has it been because in
dustrial students have found almost no
no attraction in the opportunities held
forth to them by those who were so
fearful of the risk of " this suspicion" :?
Is not that fear mainly accountable for
the cold indifference shown to the
wishes of the most intelligent farmers
of the state by the heads of the col
lege? We well remember Ohough
we did not take part in iD a conference
of the college authorities with some of
our leading farmers some eighteen years
ago, at which it appeared impossible for
the parties to even approach any sort of
agreement. In the light afforded us by
this report, it seems to us easily under
stood that the college people were
dominated by the terrible fear of losing
caste with the other literary colleges,
and of being wrecked upon the hard
and cruel rocks of classical prejudice
against any form of advanced popular
education other than their own.

THE Montreal Journal Of agriculture
says: cit seems strange to think of a
country without cattle. But this is
what Japan was until few years ago.
AT present, there is not more than one
COW to every fifty people in Japan, and
drove of sheep would be looked upon
by the farmers of the interior as wild
animals. The reason for the absence
of stock comes largely from the re-
ligious belief of the people. The ma
jority of the Japanese are Buddhists.
They believe in the transmigration of
souls, and it has for years been contrary
to their custom to destroy anything that
contains animal life. With the new
revolution, however, infdelity is
spreading among the people, and the
money which can be made out of cattle
raising is changing the belief of the
people" AS regards Japan, there is
probably yet room, especially at the
north, for cattle-keeping; but the chief
reason for the absence of large domes-
tic animals in the densely-populated
countries of the East is that they are
too costly to keep. A great many more
people can live off given area of land
upon strictly vegetable diet than from
the meat of large animals fed upon its
products. There is never nearly so
much nutriment in any meat as was
consumed in making it.
