Was ever there an instance of such
colossal profits made in business which
confers no actual concrete benefit on
mankind? These trust companies are
mere dealers IN money. They produce
nothing, they change nothing from use
less into useful form. AT the end of
the year, for all their enormous opera
tions and their immens percentages of
profit, they have added nothing to the
worlds wealth, have contributed moth
ing to the swelling tide of industry.
Their business is to intercept money at
one point and not let it pass into the
channels of trade and industry until
they are paid for it; and by pursuance
OF this system they have made, it ap
pears, in one case, as high as two hun
dred and sixty three per cent. on theil
invested capital.
Let the farmer who finds it under thu
most favorable conditions almost i'm
possible to make four per cent. on tn
cost of his farm, study these figures
Let the clerk and the manual worke
consider what such prodigious gains
drawn in every case from the proceed
of industry, must mean to the rea
workers in productive callings. Tn
earnings of money and the earnings .
lien seems to be sadly disproportionate
and it is from the class which profits b
the earnings of money that the cry o
prosperity goes up. = independence

Agriculture IN Schools.

Alta recent meeting of the State
Grange in Lock Haven, Pa, DIR. II. p.
Armsby, Director of the Pennsylvania
State Experimental Station, gave an
address upon the education of the
farmer, presenting brief review of the
past history and present status of agri-
cultural education in the United States,
and particularly in Pennsylvania. AT
the close of the address resolutions were
offered and subsequently adopted,
providing for the appointment of q
special committee to consider the sub
ject of agricultural education in Penn
sylvania and report its conclusions and
recommendation at the next meeting
of the State Grange.
1t is to be hoped that the trend of
sentiment in the old Keystone State,
upon this important question, is in the
direction, among other ways, of teach
ing the elements of agriculture in the
common schools. A generation of
farmers boys educated in that way
would furnish hundred times more
graduates from agricultural colleges
than the present system produces. A
taste for the study of agriculture must
be implanted in the young if they are to
make good farmers or good agricultural
scientists in after life.-Hoards Dairy
man.
Notes on the Root Killing of Fruit
Trees.
TIE great obstruction of orchards
nurseries and vineyards caused by the
severe cold of last winter is still fresh
in the minds of fruit growers anC
farmers. While the loss in nursery
stock was immense, yet the greatest
disaster fell upon the orchards, gardent
and vineyards surrounding the homes
of our farmers in the state.
The subject has been investigated by
the Horticultural Department Of the
Iowa Experiment Station at Ames, and
the results of these investigations have
been set forth in Bulletin "A, just pub
lshed. This bulletin may be had OF
application to the Experiment Station
at Ames.
This publication discusses variou
phases of this injury, neverthelese, thu
most important part Of it is connected
with the methods which may be EN-
ployed by the nurserymen and farme
in avoiding or preventing recurrence
of the injury. These means are groupe'
under three heads, each of which is dis
cussed fully in the body of the bulls
tin. These are, lst, hardy stocks; 2nt
deeper planting; and 3rd, the modiici
tion of our cultural practices in orchar
by the introduction of cover Gro
system. 1t is suggested that in th
past too much time has been devote
to the study of varieties and too lit
to study of methods of culture.
other words, that the success of G
4 charding in the state depends more u
!. on the management uf the orchal
\ than it does upon the planting of strit
q ly "ironclad" trees. We would advi
q our readers interested in fruit cultu
q to send for copy of this bulletin.
