The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-07-22

THE four colleges in Maine have
graduated one hundred thirty-six stu
dents this year. OF these, only one
has chosen farming for an occupation,
and this is about the usual proportion
in such cases. Many people, by reason
of these facts, charge educational in
situations with fostering spirit of hos
tility to the humber callings of life.
AS a general thing, the colleges re-
ceive large proportion of their stu
dents from the farm, and are in a
smaller degree responsible for their not
returning to the farm than the students
themselves. Many of these students
enter college with the predetermina-
ton to fit themselves for some other
vocation than that to which they were
bred. The young mans hostility to
the farm or the shop is not engendered
by the college; it existed before he en-
tered college. The only ground for
charging the college with estranging
young men from the farm or the trades
seems to be that it fosters his desire
for intellectual pursuits. Though few
college men are farmers, many Of
them are of the farm, and it is not
reasonable to suppose that this great
class of educated, influential men will
spurn the order from which they sprang

A CANNING FACTORY.
REASONS GIVEN FOE BUILDING ONE.

EDITORS OF JouRNAL--l have seen
an article in recent JOURNAL from
Mr.. J. i. Sibley on the fruit cam
ming industry, which heartily
commend to the people Of Cobb
county. / have been investigating
that branch Of industry for the last
twelve months, and talking it up ct
every favorable opportunity. The
outlay OF capital lie quite small
matter. The greatest amount Of
capital is in cans and labels, and
after q canning factory is started up,
it will be no tfoable to secure cans
on six months time at very low
rate Of interest, giving ample time
to manufacture and put the fruit on
the market. One OF the best au-
thoritias On the fruit canning indus
try is Mr.. J. R. Calhoun, OF Ralti-
more, and according to his figures
the industry certainly win pay.
There is good profit in peaches
even at SO cents per bushel, and in
our section they can be, bought at
less figures in plentiful fruit sea-
son. Tomatoes, one of the easiest
vegetables raised and always in de-
mand, will produce with proper
treatment, $50 bushels per acre, and

factory could pay is 70 dollars pei

A negro woman living in Burke

very thick lips, and his name is
Lips; another has very big feet, and
his is called Foots another is bless
