ton of farm prosperity. Governor
Hoard, who is dairyman, and the
founder of that widey-circulated paper,
HodrdS Dairyman, attends and speaks
at these institutes, and his enthusiasm
and practical skill is a powerful stimu-
liant to the public interest.
Mr.. NEwToN's thoughtful COM
munication in another column is well
worthy of careful reading. Many years
of weary prodding the agricultural pub
lie, to arouse it to an active sense of
the need of better schools and better
roads, as means O. civilization and So
cial development, have rather discour-
aged us; but we are glad to have others
take up the pen in work that should
not stop till the end is reached. Much
more than half the ills which farmers
complain of is due to removable causes.
But to induce them to rise up and re-
move them seems much like man try
ing to lift himself over fence by his
boot straps. If we had good rural
schools and roads, four times their cost
would not induce us to part with them;
but to get the slow-thinking public to
realize their value, in advance of pos
session, is hard indeed. We can many
of us remember how other public i'm
provements now possessed were OPP
posed, or passively INSTRUCTED. Yet
they were pushed through, and the fact
that they were should encourage us to
labor, even though apparently in vain,
for what is still lacking to" make farm
ing pay,"-not only in money, but in
the things that are worth more than
money. -
If it does not pay New England farm
ers to raise bullocks, sheep or hogs for
the butchers. in competition with the
West, yet it may still pay to raise nice
fat calves, lambs and pigs. The larger
an animal gets the more it costs to add
mere weight, and therefore the younger
we can market them the greater is our
gain. But in order to suit the market
for young meat we must know how to
make it Of marketable quality. A calf
at six weeks old may bring more money
than yearling, but in order to do so it
must be a calf that suits the market.
Spring lambs, if just what the markets
demand, will bring thrice the money
that can be got for sheep, but to do
that it must be such as those who eat
them want. These are things that
farmers who want to see their farming
pay will study and make themselves
proficient in. "There is room enough
up high" for those who will climb, and
not be weary too soon.
