EDUCATION FOR FARMERS.

There are some men left who sheer
at the suggestion that college educa-
ton helps a farmer; but how do they
account for the fact that agriculture
has kept step with educational adj
Yancement, not only in this country
but throughout the civilized world?
By "college education" for farmers We
mean more particularly agricultural
college education, though any kind Of
college education helps one to farm,
just as 1t helps any other business.
Before American Agricultural colleges
got in their work, there had been some
slow progress made in agriculture from
experience, but any degree of pro-
gress worthy of notice required fifty to
one hundred years, instead of from
three to five years, as at present. Yet
many years ago there were some noted
farmers and most of them were college
bred men. Broadening of the facul-
ties and acquaintance with the opera
ton of Natures laws acquired at col
lege could be helpful to any farmer
Why should not education, especially
in the sciences, help the farmer? He
has to deal with scientific questions
daily whether he has any knowledge OF
the question or not. To work in har-
mony with Natures laws requires some
knowledge of such laws, and the WHY'S
and therefores of the phenomena
which he observes. But special agri-
cultural education is what every far
msr needs, and if in addition to his elias
steal and scientific eruditioD, 80 much
the better. The agricultural colleges
are doing great work for the Amerl-
can farmers, and together with the ex
pertinent stations are working a won
derful revolution in farm life.-Texaf

The Macon News adds the following
amusing incident to Minister WINS
visit to Milledgeville. The Auditori-
um was packed and damned and the
crowd was anxiously awaiting the ar
rival of the Chinese dignitary when
two laundrymen entered as they
came in the door every man, woman
and child in the building arose and
cheered The Cinnamon thinking it
was courtesy extended them on &C
count of the presence In the city OF two
of their distinguished countrymen,
walked up the isle bowling and scrap
ing and grinning. As they neared the
rostrum several of those on the stage,
who also thought they were the minis
ter and his secretary, went down to
meet them in the aisle and escorted
Thorn to the stage. Everybody still
thought the laundrymen were the dis
tinguished visitors, and necks were
eraned to look at them. Many people
were disappointed and remarked that
the Cinnamon looked to them like any
other old Cinnamon, but others could
see marks OF distinction and made
many comments OF the difference he
tween the appearance of the two and
the ordinary every day Monaghan.
Presently, however, Wu and his secre-
tary entered and then the people saw
their mistake

tampod with great force. After the
tamping process. the sides and ends of
the mould are let down. the columns
are depressed. and the plate on which
the materials were poured Is lifted out,
with the manufactured block resting
upon It. The blocks are put out in
