Agricultural Education.
The Southern Farmer.

The Southern Farmer.
III a recent issue the Southern
Cultirator gave an excellent edi-
torial Oh agricultural education, in.
which it recounted the difficulties
that environ our agricultural col
leges in securing students who
have the groundwork on which to
build an agricultural education.
1t is manifest that until agricul-
ture shall be taught in the public
schools and the youths of the land
become familiar with the common
place elements of agriculture, it
will be extremely difficult for our
agricultural colleges to induct
them into the scientific mysteries
of higher agriculture.
Boys who are made familiar with
elementary mathematics and with
English and modern languages in
their home schools can readily
take these up upon IA higher plane
upon entering college. They are
found, hewever, and find them
selves to be woefully deficient in
the elementary matters of agricul-
ture. Scarcely a boy entering an
agricultural college can tell why
we plough land. He simply knows
that it is matter of agricultural
routine and is apt to follow it in
rather an unreasoning sort of way
If the agricultural college must
begin with the a b c's of agricul.
ture its difficulties in the way OF
satisfactorily educating its stu.
dents are as great as though the
ordinary college had to begil
teaching its pupils the a b C O
grammer and mathematics. Th,
parallel is comparatively complete
and it is certainly strong reason
why we should all advocate tin

When it comes to yellow fever
scare, New Orleans is just as bad
as any other section. The New
Orleans papers thought the action
of the people of Jackson, in burn
ing railroad bridge, was outra-
geous, and the action of the health
officers of Lafayette was foolish
because of their oyster like quar-
antine, but the incindiary of the
Beauregard school house to pre-
vent the establishment of a fever
hospital in said building, for fear
it would spread the disease in that
particular locality, is more outra-
geous than any lawless act com

the greatest interest in his work,
as he has always done in anything
tending to the development OF
southwest Louisiana.
The manner in which the town
of Breaux Bridge took matters in
hand to encourage the building of
the Palmetto and Gulf Railroad
deserves mention, and shows a
progressive spirit which could be
creditably initiated by some larger
towns.
When the question of depot site
came before them, the people OF
Breaux Bridge assembled in mass
meeting and it was decided that
the corporation give the Palmetto
and Gulf Railroad the necessary
ground for a depot, section house,
etc. This site measures six ar
penis along the proposed route OF
the road by one in depth.
| We are glad to see this enter
prising and progressive spirit in
our sister town of Breaux Bridge
and hope that other towns along
the proposed route will show thai
they do not lay behind when i
comes to improvements beneficial
to this whole section of country.

and trains were late in getting in. The
bulletin at the union depot was also
blank in this respect and showed
nothing. On the eastern division of the
Omaha, the wind was brisk. and but
one inch of new snow had fallen. On
the northern division it was showing
hard and from two to four inches had
fallen The dispatches reported that
no snow had fallen north of Superior.
The 500 also reported considerable
trouble yesterday afternoon, and it was
feared that during the night still more

il is like doing the work all over again

The fall of snow was heavier in the
vicinity of st. Paul than in any por-
ton of the Northwest, according to the
reports of the weather department.
The snow belt extended up as far as,
perhaps CroOkston, but after O'Clock
last evening the department received
no reports. 1t was reported as showing
in South Dakota and to some extent
IN North Dakota, but no reports Of
snow storms were received from
Canada. There was no wind in North
Dakota, and the railroads reported no
serious trouble there. The wind at
II IOH dl U CLOCK was reported az
below "a miles an hour. This was far
lighter than earlier in the day when
the gale crept up to As miles an hour.
All railroad lines in South Dakota
were badly blockaded list night.
The interurban line had a great deal
of trouble after the wind began to
blow. 1t was reported that the line
was badly blockaded for an hour, IN
the open country, late in the afternoon
The cable line was stopped for a quarter
of an hour, owing to a blocked car
near the foot of the hill. The cable
line was sea sick affair all the even
ing. The rails were covered with lay
er of snow, which could not be brushed
OF. AS result the trains ran with
an uncertain jump and bump very
disastrous to derby hats and sore toes.
A blockade Of Lafayette and Rondo
cars occurred at 6 o'clock, on Tenth
street. Seven or eight trains were
stalled until a wise conductor secured
several shOvels full of ashes from an
adjoining house. The rails were ex-
humed and the ashes applied with sue
cess.

the violence Of the snow storm did
not extend more than 25O miles north
OF st. Paul, and that in the extreme
northern portion of the state and in

owing to the fact that there was not
much wind to contend. Beyond in

would give no information
At the Great Northern. it was stated
in the office Of the general supe1fn-

orally over the Willmar and the Brock
enrldge divisions, extending ESQ miles
north, but that beyond this point there
had been no reports Eof any serious
trouble or delays. The officials said
that trains within this limit Of $50 miles
were having considerable trouble. but
beyond it, the trouble was not as
serious as many times previous to this
storm. However, it is a fact that trains
all over the Northwest yesterday were
IN bad shape, and time cards were a
myth. At o'clock last evening the
