EDUCATION IN FARMING.

We recently quoted an interesting
editorial from the New York Even
ing Post on the depression in farming
in the Eastern states and it's causes
These, it will be remembered, We're
mainly a quite general ignorance
among farmers of those elemental
factors of farming which lie within
the domain of some of the sciences,
such as chemistry, entomology and
others. In comment upon that
article we pointed with pride to the
efforts made by the state of Mime
sofa in her agricultural college. in
her experimental stations and in her
perambulating farm institute, to
spread among the farmers knowI-
edge of some of the mysteries of
their craft. A New Jersey corre-
spondent of the New York Evening
Post takes up the various methods
of communicating to the farmers in
formation and instruction relating.
to their vocation, and points out their
insufficiency.
The farm papers, as a rule, deal
mostly with methods. They are fill
ed with the details of experiments
conducted byindividual farmers, and.
where they attempt to convey infor-
nation of a scientific nature, they
deal in terms unintelligible to the
average farmer. This is especially
so when they treat of the chemical
properties of soil, the relative con-
stltuents of plant food, and the effect
OF different foods upon animals. The
institutes follow largely on the line
OF the farm paper, and are prechded
from giving instruction in the science
OF farming, or in those sciences re-
lated to lit, by the very reason that
makes the attempted instruction of
the papers unintelligible. IExneri-
hleHI stations are, as their name
implies, simply places where new
seeds or varieties are tested. various
methods of feeding are experiment.
ed with, and theories, generally. put
to test
The information that is essential
TO correct knowledge of the science
and the art of farming is reserved
Tor the agricultural colleges. and the
expense of attending them raises q
par TO all but small percentage of
the youth of the farms. It is true
that as these instructed youths 90
pack TO the farm and put into prac-
tlce that which they have learned
IN the school, the influence of if ner-
meates to a greater or less extent nm
the nelghborhood. The corresnond-
ent suggests that what is needed is
elementary instruction in the COM
mon schools of the farming region
NO matter how primary this instruc-
tlon is, its inevitable tendency would
De not only to make Immediately
pefter farming, but to spur the ambi-
tlon OF the pupils to the acuuirement
of still higher education in the re-
Iation of their calling to the re-
sources and operations of nature.
He states in conclusion, what all will
recognize as fact, that '.the elemen-
tary education now provided by the
state, which is excellent, shows by
it's result that it will be more useful
to that class engaged in transferring
and Transforming the products
which the farmers create than to the
farmer himself

Hundred Residences Burned-7OO

NEW ORLEANS. La. Oct 20.-Fire
broke out about o'clock this morning
in Algiers, and before the flames were
finally subdued, destroyed about 100
small buildings and about twenty more
pretentious structures, including the
court house and a number of handsome
residences. The fire started at the cor
ner of Bermuda and Morgan street and
swept in a southwesterly direction 1t
is estimated that 700 persons are rem
dered homeless. Relief measures were
started this morning for the benefit of
the destitute. The building used as a
police court and jail in Algiers was
constructed about the year 1912, for a
residence. the greater portion of the
town then being the Lavsrgne planta-
ton home. All the records of the Fifth
district (Algiers) were consumed in the
building. The loss by the fire will not
probably exceed S150,0G0; insurance is
light.

DRY IN IOWA.
Victims of Thirst Paid Forty Gents
II HaIf-Pint for Water.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 2O.-Since
the state fair a number of persons
have asked United States marshalS to
prosecute two men, who operated on
the fair grounds, for violating the rev.
enue laws. An investigation showed
that the men gave out the impression
that they were ''bootlegging'' whis-
ky, and when customers appeared told
them that they were not selling whis-
ky, but rain water. The thirsty ones,
thinking it was a ruSe, each bought
bottle and paid 40 cents for a half
pint. Later they found that the men
had told the truth, and they really
had purchased rain water. containing
some slight coloring matter. The Off
GERS found the two men who had en-
gagged in the traffic, and they said
they sold fully barrel of excellent
rain water at 40 cents a half pint, and
never represented it TO be anything
else. They have not been prosecuted
and probably will not be molested.

private Pullman palace car Columbia
was yesterday turned out of the Pull

Washington to convey President CIeve-
land and his party from Washington
to the Atlanta exposition and through

The Columbia is the handsomest and
most expensive car ever constructed
by the Pullman Palace Car company.
It's construction began two years ago at
Pullman, Ill. 1t was sent to this city
several months ago for completion.
The drawing and state rooms are fin
lshed variously in Santiago and white
mahogany. yermillion wood and Cau-
cas!an walnut, with plush upholstery
and embroidered silk panels to match.
The Columbia is heated by steam and
lighted with Pintsch gas lamps of the
finest modern pattern. The entire car
is fitted with water arrangements
operated by air pressure. The cost of
the Columbia is estimated at $125,O 900.

Populism when ripe is Identical
with despotism. No matter under
what disguise it cloaks itself, under
what pretense of paternal interest it
sugar-coats it's purpose, the spirit is
identical with that of the unrestrain-
ed despot, and its actions run upon
the same lines. We took occasion to
point this out in recent comment
upon the constitutional convention
of the Populists who now dominate
the state of South Carolina. Under
the pretense of the public good they
have made the traffic in liquor a
state monopoly. They now purpose
in their constitution to make this
condition perpetuity European

WARMLY APPROVED.

The scheme to hold a great North
western exposition in St Paul and
Minneapolis in 1897 is a good one. The
Northwest is richer in agricultural
and mineral resources than any other
SECTION of the country, yet there are
mllllons of people who are unaware
of the fact. A big exposition. similar
to that of the cotton states recently
held at Atlanta, would place the
Northwest before the world in such
a way as to be of great and lasting
benefit.-Wo Worthingto ton Herald

At the Grand-Finnienn,s Ball.

Murray and Mack, with a number of
other clever specialists, delighted a
full house at the Grand last night with
their presentation of "Finnigan'S
Ball" Just why the performance
should have name is not apparent,
for there is hardly the semblance of
a plot, but from beginning to end it is
a series of jokes and ludicrous situa-
tlons, interspersed with songs-musical
and otherwise-gotesque dances and
antics that would make the sourest
dyspeptic laugh. AS a matter of course,
Charles Murray, as Connor Casey, and
Ollie Mack, as Timothy Finnigan are
the features of the performance, but
several other members of the compa-
ny are equally clever and were en-
cored time and again.
Bert Leslie as Weary Walker makes
an ideal tramp, and George H. Emer-
ick, who represents a widow that has
buried three husbands and wants a
fourth, also comes in for a share of the
honors. Oracle Cummings, as Katie
Casey. is a very clever little woman,
and her girlish voice captivates the
audience every time she makes her
appearance. She is also pretty
dancer.
The Loring sisters, Bonita and Myr-
tie, do an umbrella dance and also a
three-legged dance that are amusing
in the extreme. Edith Newton was en-
cored three times for her singing, and
the audience so persisted in trying to
bring her out again that Mr.. Mack had
to come out and explain that she was
suffering from a cold and could not
respond. The company continues
throughout the week.

Washington. Feb. 15.-There seems
to be little doubt that yesterdays
fight was the final rally in the cam

Gratis for financial legislation in this

that he recognizes that it futile to
attempt to secure any sort of Iegisla

nuhesitatingly, that ne viii not again

any sort upon the finances.
These Democrats are disposed to put
upon the Republicans the blame for
failure OF the resolution reported by
the Ways and Means committee.
For their part, many Republicans
who, Saturday, would not have op-
posed the gold provision in . bond IS
sue, had the proposition been unen-
numbered by other factors, explain
their negative votes by saying that
they could not assent to a contract
made with private parties for taking
