two years.

Agricultural +. ucation.

If agriculture were taught il
our common schools much of thc
false impression now in the mir
DIS of the farmer boys would be
cleared away, and a higher value
placed upon the farm and the ia,
rmer, aud ne would buckley sec
the opportunities offered by the
life of a farmer when conducted
on business principles, and
he would not be lin such a
hurry to rush to the town or city
to seek other employme nt.
When we consider that agricul.
ture is the foundation stone upon
which rests the happiness. pros
perity and greatness,of our coun
try, and without which all other
enterprises would fail, it seems
strange that this great science,
dealing with nature, to under
stand which brings into play all
the faculties of the mind, would
be SO little considered as par,
of our educational system. The
time has come for action along
these lines, and the day is not fal
distant when more of the science
of agriculture will be taught in
all the schools and less of foreign
exchange and Greek. To this
end every farm paper and every
newspaper should work until we
place the profession of the farm
er at it's rightlul place-at tn,
head OF all the professions redui-
ing a knowledge of plant growth
requirements,a and, above all bust,
pess ability. Is there any other
profession that requires a broad
err and more comprehensive edu-
cation than this?-Ben G.. Sewer,

What Makes Il C.uW Il
Coed One.

A few Yeas az | raised a
hcifer calf hat seemed to prom
j~c well. Her ancestry. Was
cod, and as she had all the
appearance of being herself
worthy OF raising l gave her a
,hance for her life. She had
lrthing in the line Of pedigree
b hind her, but "a just a plain
everyday sort Of creature, bear
ing the marks of a good calf.
About the same time l had a
chance to buy a heller calf that
started out with the advantage
Of a pedigree. Her father ard
mother were registered, and she
herself was OF course eligible to
be registered. But as | did not
care particularly about the regis
tration, l paid the price asked
twelve dollars-and brought her
home to grow up with my little
bautling oil the common blood.
The two made good progress,
and in the process of time be-
came cows. The fuli-5lood COW
was as fine an animal as enc nl; b
care to see. The other was not
especially handsome, being of
such a mixed gray and red that
called her ''Frostv." But that
homelv COW vas always the fav-
rite of the yard, and she was by
many odds the better COW of the
two. She gave richer milk, and
taking the season through she
gave about as much of it as her
heightened companion. These
facts proved to me that breeding
does not always make the good
COW. would rather have, for
myself, a COW that gave good,
rich milk, and enough of it, than
one that possessed a long name
but little to back It.
Now, this is not saying one
word against the COW of good
ancestry. There should be
something in good breeding-no
doubt there is more than we
understand-and for the man
who cares particularly about
herdbooks and that sort of thing
registration is all right. He gets
a certain satisfaction out of
that other folks do not, and he
ought to follow the plan which
will enable him to enjoy his push
ness to the highest possible ex-
tent. But it does not follow,
however, that all the rest of us
ought to fall in with his pet no.
tons. One man prefers one
breed, one another. Every one
must be fully persuaded in his
own mind, then we will reach the
top round of success. The stock
we love best we will care for
best, and care means succeas.-

The echoes of the recent city election
reveal an amazing state of affairs. The
alleged reforlners, who were so loud
in their denunciation of wiekedness.
were greater hypocrits than We had con-
cciyed them TO be. As a sample of the
things they did, We mention only thing
or two that happened the night before
election. They were out that night and
n night or two before that rounding up
the bows for the battle. Persons got
very busy in the second floor of the
Horror building, and, it is stated upon
good authority, that one old saint al
most ready for the grave, forgot all his
religious preaching and actually busted
himself telling the boys that if they
wanted anything to Just go in partie.

fix them. 1t was understood that ne
meant they would be given Doodle and
booze, If they wanted it. What do You
think of this. coming from one who
these many years has raised up his voice
against the pollution of the American
voter? What do you think of it, COM
ing from set that had assured the pco.
pie that all wickedness should cease II
the event they were successful! That
same night meetings were held in the
halls and highways. The beer key and
the reformer were conspicuous among
those assembled. He was handing on;
booze. campaign and election booze, re
member. This was done to influence the
voters. Just think of it. will you! Al
legged refomers, who had made them
selves hoarse in their bowls against the
evils that they said prevailed, were busy
getting voters drunk and debauched.
These are the fellows who asked the
decent people of Clarksburg to support
their ticket. Their wicked ways ought
to be sufficient argument to the PEG
pie to never tie to them. More echoes
OF the caihpaign doubtless mean more
wiekedness on their part.

"Mr. Gilmore has been the recipient Of
the highest praise for his work in The
Tyranny Of Tears this season. The
story Of the play is founded on actual
occurrences. Haddon Chambers wove the
story about the experiences Of a mar
ried couple OF his acquaintance in Lon

has been rightly termed the comedy of
