PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE.

MIR. EDITOR Farming does not con-
slst simply of blowing AMI hOeing.
There must be an intelligence to govern
and properly direct labor in order to
acquire much beyond.a simple exist
ence. No n will dispute the fact
that it is necessary for doctors, lawyers
and other professional men to study
their business and to spend time and
money in preparation for their life
work. But how is it with the farmer?
"He can get along, you say, without
study and preparation" You are
right; he can get along like nine-tenths
of u hard-wOrking, honest farmers
who see little comfort in the present
and but slight hope for the future. He
can get along because he has a business
that will pay something in spite of
ignorance and neglect. Are you pre-
pared to say the farm would not pay
more if the farmer were really master
of his business?
Practical questions are coming up
every day, on which there are doubts
and fears; things new that would be
tried if there was no fear of failure.
1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent each year that the farmer must
diversity his crops. Experience this
year again proves the statement. Cot
ton is not promising, and bids fair
to be a failure In many cases. Grass
and clover was better. Stock
raising never offered better returns,
and so it goes from year to year.
Agricultural colleges should teach
young men something of the various
lines of farming and stock raising, in
order that farmers may be scattered
over the various sections of the State,
familiar at least with the scientific
principles which underly their calling.
Let us see if it is worth anything for
= the farmer to intelligently answer the
questions asked the Freshman class on
their final examination at the North
Carolina College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts.
1. For this climate, what are the
names of the best growing clover and
grasses?
2. If you were going to seed for a
pounds of seed would you SOW Of
each, separately, and what amount
of, in combination. State the kinds of
grass and number of pounds of each.
3. If you weret to seed down apasture,
how would you select the seed, and
how prepare the land, and what time
of the year would you sow?
4. If the Colorado beetle troubled
your Irish potatoes, how would you
fight them? Give proportions.
5. What is meant by soiling? What
is gained by this system? Give as
many advantages as you can of the
sOiling system.
6. Should a farmer in this climate
soil, and if so what kind should he fol
low?
Z. Give the stages in the life of in
sects.
s. What insect Injuries apples most?
8. What is an artery?
10. What are ~,apillaries?
These questions are left for your con-
sideration. Is it worth while to know
them? J. r. CHAMBERLAIN.

Bostonians are usually supposed to be

attack should be unworthy OF notice. equiva-

his position. but DR.. ABBOT would not have 1t so.

IMPORTANT ADDITION TO THE xAvE:
The Harbor Defence Vessel Monterey Near
IL Ready Tor Service.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.-Ths Ordnance Bureau
announced this morning that In four months
the harbor defence vessel. the Monterey. now
being built at San Francisco. will be ready for
service. She now lacks her guns and armor.
The former are finished at the foundry In this
city. and one OF the two 12-inch rifles will be
tested this week at Indian Head. The other
will soon be ready. The armor plates are be-
ing delivered and tested. Tho Monterey will.
in the opinion Of the naval authorities. be the
most formidable craft in the American navy.
with the possible exception OF the monitor
Puritan. which Is also nearing completion.
The bureau regards the results Of the first
extreme qualification. particularly as the REC
ords OF the office indicate a great improve
ment in nickel-plate making during the past
ycnr. A comparison OF the tests Of Saturday
that the best nickel plate at Indian Head.
which Is OF American manufacture. is far supe-
rior to the best nickel plate tested at Annapo-
lis in lSFO. which was OF French production.
A table was prepared to-day by the Chief OF
the two tests. Five shots were fred In each
instance. making the following penetrations
in inches. given In the order Of firing.
Bethlehem Plate. lS91-1325. 1907. 1915.
G5eusSt Plate. 1soo-15.G5. 1915. 1890.
Thus it appears that in the cnse OF each shot
the French plate was penetrated deeper by the
projectiles than the American steel. The fifth
gun. 1t is also interesting to note that Of all
the siX-inch holes the deepest in the Ameri
can plate was shnllower than the least In the
T M bs OF is
isfaction. as indicating that great progress
has been made.
