AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.

First One Started I'm Connecticut Half n
Century Ago.
The idea of agricultural schools aud
colleges in New England was origi-
mated in the old town of Cornwall, in
Litchfield county, half century ago,
by nr. Samuel Wadsworth Gold, who
established the first school OF the kind
In this country He associated his son,
Theodore :. Gold. who had been grad
uatod from Yale a few years, In the
management of the institution.
The sen remained az the iieudi
of the school twenty-four years,
when the enterprise was given
up,and the corps ofteachcrs disbanded.
1T is an interesting fact that four noted
schools were founded during the period
In question in the region of the Housa-
tonic valley.
Theodore ). Gold, who Is now the
venerable secretary of the Connecticut
state board OF agriculture, was at the
head of the distinctively agricultural
school. Frederick Gum, who com
pleted his life-worls In the famous Com
neeticut school cafed 1.-THE Gunnery,"
In Washington, was ncighbor and
co-worker with Principal Gold. Am
brose Rogers, who died In an insane
asylum, Ind Burton Hart, now of
New York. were the competitors
of school masters Gold and Gum.
Ambrose Rogers had meteor
like career. and is still remembered
IN Litchheld county and the Berlx-
shires on account OF his striking
genius. Schoolmaster Gum was an
angler and hunter. loving the rod and
gun next 10 his school. He was an
apostle of athletics, and taught his
pupils In the field as well as In the
classroom. Mr.. Gold had the broadcast
ideas with regard to agricultural eau-
cation, and the lads who were sent to
him from all sections OF Connecticut,
were brought up on the farm. Every
boy had garden assigned him. ana
spent regular hours In outdoor work.
Prof. Brush. of the Sheffield scientific
school at Yale. was one of the lads
trained under Schoolmaster Gold. The
farm life of the pupils was wholesome
aud healthful--N. Y. Times.

In raising choice poultry and making

yet the animals are fed and cared for
