The Agricultural College.

The agricultural EDITORS attention
has been drawn to items in the state
press indicating that his position in re-
gard to an Independent school of agri-
culture is not correctly understood.
We have been much grieved at the re-
cent action of the legislature in regard
to our common schools, and, on the
possibility that the majority of the
farmers endorse it, we have felt that
there was little hope that they would
be greatly interested in advanced pop
ular education. From the beginning
we had not believed it possible that the
independent college bill could pass the
present senate. We had little flicker
of hope when it received so large a
majority in the house, but assured of
the fact that the senate is carefully
fixed and packed at every session in
favor of corporation interests, and is
controlled by the mere nod of men
who could not dispense with Burling-
toms support, we were sure that the
independent college bill would not pass
that not too honorable body. The
people have the facts before them. If
they take hold in earnest, hold their
grip for the interval, and see that no
senator gets an election who is not
pledged to an Independent college, they
may win in the next legislature.
Nothing short of this will do it. Get
the pledge of every senatorial candi-
date, and there will then be a fair pos
sibility that an Independent college
bill may get majority in that body.
And we are in favor of such result as
strongly as any man in the state.

line of work.

CAREFUL experiments at the Cornell
Experiment Station of New York have
recently proved what every sensible
farmer knows from experience, that
manure thrown out under the caves of
stables, or exposed to soaking rains in
barn-yards, loses a great portion of its
manurial value. Yet the practice is
very general all over the country. In
a ride from Montpelier to Burlington,
two years ago, we counted something
like dozen instances of this wasteful-
ness on one side of the railway. We do
not know whether the farmers occupy
ing those farms find farming paying
business or not. They are probably,
most of them, getting some sort of
living at it,; but actual experience,
aside from science, sufficiently proves
that the loss is often more than one
third in the value of ordinary mixed
manure. If the stock is highly fed
the loss is greater. The Cornell ex-
pertinent showed it to reach forty-two
per cent in the case of horse manure in a
loose pile, and in mixed manure thirty
five per cent. Men who can stand such
losses year after year and not become
bankrupt ought to get rich pretty fast
by simply investing in few boards
and nails to protect their manure.

il is difficult to say which is most harm
full to our cherry and berry crops, the
insects or the birds. OF the dozen or
more injurious orchard insects we
know of none that is sufficiently held
in check by birds, while few, if any, of
the harmful garden insects are eaten by
them at all. We are told that if we
destroy the birds insects will increase,
but it is difficult to see how that can be,
and it is doubtful whether it is true.
IT is in some degree misfortune that
here in America we have been able to
grow so many of the fruits of western
Europe. 1t was only when we could
not do this that we have done anything
with our native species; but in the
leading instance, that of the grape, our
success has been most rapid and salts
factory. Still it continues to be true,
and doubtless will continue, that Emer-
sons sage observation, to the effect
that "every man is as lazy as he dares
to be-" is substantated by experience.
To-day we are beginning to see con-
siderable improvement in our native
plums, but only because they are har-
der than those of western Europe, and
have been taken up, in consequence, for
the lack of better. Our native cherries
still remain unimproved, our persim-
mons the same, and our nut-trees are
but Just beginning to receive the atten-
ton they deserve, though the best nuts
in quality are native here. 1t is to be
feared that the introduction of east Eu-
ropean and north Asian fruits will retard
private efforts to improve our native
species, and the chief hope in this direc-
ton lies in our experiment stations,
where the improvement of native species
ought to he made the leading purpose of
their horticulturists. We have urged this
before, but it is subject that should
be continually pressed upon the sta
tons, as most important and hopeful
line of work.

IN referring to some of the official
utterances of one DR.. Mellor, milk in
spector of Cleveland, Ohio, Hoard
Dairyman gets pretty near rock bottom
in the use of language, more truthful,
perhaps, than elegant, as follows:
"There is no such aggravating and de-
testible idiot as your learned idiot. If
we believed hundredth part of what
they say, we would all be in misery,
thinking that the next breath we drew
would be the last. Comfort and con-
tent would flee away from us. We
would rather take our regular peck of
dirt that has been 80 long allotted to
man as his fate to eat, and die in bliss
full ignorance, than to pay heed to
the 'cranks,' ventilating fiends, and
'microbe hunters who have death in
the pot all the time for u.s."

Editorial NOtings.

The early native grapes can, in
America, be ripened out of doors, in
all but the worst seasons, as far north
as Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion.
Along the upper st. Lawrence, between
Montreal and Lake Ontario, and along
both shores of Lake Champlain, varie-
ties as late as the Concord and the Yer
gennes are successfully grown for
market. 1t is noteworthy that along
this northern line of grape culture the
vines are even more healthy and
productive than farther south, while
the fruit is entirely free from disease,
The practice of ringing the vines, as
recommended by Professor Maynard,
is being widely adopted by the northern
grape-growers, giving larger and sweeter
fruit, and insuring a more even and
completer, as we'll as an earlier, maturity.
Thus grape-growing is extending itself
in section hitherto dependent upon
other localities for its supply and all
the new early sorts are getting thor
ough testing. These northern grown
grapes are good keepers, and late in
the season possess freshness in agree
able contrast with sorts found in market
from points further south.

WE are planning to put up one
hundred-foot barn, and the manure
question is an important element in
this connection. Just now there is
a good deal of criticism going in the
agricultural papers upon barn cellars,
which are prescribed by a great many
intelligent writer's. But, so far as we
have seen, the criticisms have been of
other mems barn cellars. Is there no.
body brave enough to tell of the harm
their own barn cellars have caused? Or
is the criticism we have read entirely
without the support of practical per-
sonal experience of damage? For our
self, we have Cor rather had, for fire
destroyed it year ago. basement tie
up, paved with fiat stone (slate), and
threw the manure out behind the cattle
into a she'd The shed of course dark
ened the windows somewhat, but they
were made large enough to balance
that, and the shade was beneficial in
warm weather. The mixed manure in
the shed would heat unless hogs were
kept on it, but in winter the heat was
easily kept under by throwing snow
upon it; and the result in the spring
was that it came out in excellent condi-
ton for use. We keep no stock on our
home place now; but on the farm, two
miles away, which we bought in 1887,
there is a fifty-foot barn, with a base
ment, into which the manure is
dropped, and hogs are kept on it the
year around. We see no evils result
ing from this. The cattle and horses
are all right, and the air is not sensibly
tainted. We doubt its being unhealthy,
but we would like to have doubt re-
placed by certainty, one way or the
| other.
