The tendency Of medical science
ia toward preventive measures. .:Phe
best thought Of the world is-6eing'
given to the subject. 1t is easier
and better to prevent than to care.'
1t has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most danger.
Gus diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlsin's Cough
Remedy. Pne umonia always results
from a cold or from 40 attack ct in.
~fluenza (grip). and it has been OBJ
served that this disease counteracts
any tendency of these diseases to.
ward pneumoIis. This has been
fully proven in many thousands OF
cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence Of
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con.
fdence. Pneumonia often results
from q slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until il is suddenly
discovered that there is fever and
difficulty of breathing and, pains in
the chest, then it ia announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold
is contracted. It always cures. For

Mr.. T. J. Shannon has received
from West Virginia a carload of
Aberdeen Angus and Hereford cat
tie. Both these breeds are very large
and are grown especially for beef.
The Angus is coal black and of huge
frame. He has thirteen of these, all
of which are without horns and ex-
actly alike, without a light spot on
them. The Hereford is of red color,
varying with occasional white stripes.
Mr.. Shannon will breed these two
varieties.-Monroe Journal.

he haS a tough SOD, h1tcheS on TO THIS
great pillow and pulverizes the sod
and ave his W labor and that of
his team.
But first the farmer must know
what he wants to do, must get a
clear idea of the perfect seed-bed,
which is such a disposition of the
soil particles as will give free scope
for root development and at the
same time not break capillary con-
nection with the stored water from
the winters SHOWS and the spring
rains in the earth below. Then Sc
lect such tools as are best adapted
in the ever varying season to secure
the desired result. In this choice
the line between the skilled and I'M
skilled farmer is clearly drawn, the
unskilled working blindly without a
clear idea either of what he should
do or the best means of doing it, the
other knowing just what he wants
to do and doing it with the minimum
of effort.
The seed-bed, however, is not the
only thing. The selection of the seed
is of scarce less Importance. Two
points are essential in selecting the
seed; first, to get the variety best
adapted to the conditions of soil and
climate, whether in yield or adapta-
ton to the season or soil. 1t is just
here that many farmers fall down.
They spend their labor, for example,
either in growing the kind of corn
that will not mature in an ordinary
season in that latitude, or one that
while maturing will not yield that
full crop that the soil would pro-
duce, maturing SO early that the
farmer does not have the use of his
land through the entire cropzgrowing
season. Or, they produce a variety
that has too much offal; that is, too
much cob.
Again, many farmers fail because
they plant seed well enough adapted
to the soil and climate, but of low
terminating power, or of such low
vitality that it cannot resist the hard
conditions, whether of drouth, or
cold, or wet, or heat, which are liable
to come during almost any season.
Then comes in the question of
decentralization in which two points
must be clearly kept in view; one,
the perfecting of the seed-bed if for
any reason it's preparation has been
deficient, and maintaining it if for
any reason it has been injured by
drouth or food, and the other that
of securing for the crop itself the
full monopoly of the soil. For weeds
are competitors with the crop for
the use of the land. The farmer does
not thrive by growing weeds, all of
which are cumberers of the soil, some
of them actually poisonous to crops,
all of them using the moisture and
sunlight, and these must be kept
down at all hazards and the crop per-
mitted to have the complete monopoly
of the soil.
Now, with all this we have not told
how to do any of the things men

SOME FIRST PRINCIPLES IN FARM
ING.
A Few Fundamental Facts to Keep in
Mind the Whole Year Through.

To tell the same old story year
after year with such amendments and
additions as may seem necessary
from time to time, and to tell it In
such a way as to have the charm of
novelty and the freshness of a new
discovery, is the province and mis-
sion of the agricultural editor, even
as it is the mission of the preacher
to tell the old, old story from year
to year in such a way as to freshen
the memory of the saint, bring con-
viction to the sinner, and develop
character in all who hear it. It is
fortunate for both preacher and
editor that this is So, else after
preaching their several gospels once,
twice, or twenty times, their occu-
patton, like that of Othello, would
be gone. Therefore, in this, our first
issue in the new year, we must begin
again at the commencement and pre-
sent in the plainest and simplest
manner possible the first principles
connected with the growth of plant
life. For broad as is the field of
modern agriculture, the first lesson
is, how to grow grain and grass, a
simple problem, indeed, to the man
who already knows it all, but full of
hidden mysteries and unsolved prob
lens to the real student of agricul-
ture. Let us look into it now while
the ground is frozen and all plant
life dormant, and see as far as we
can what conditions are essential to
vegetable life.
Light, heat, and moisture, these
are the raw materials which nature.
or rather the God of nature, gives
in such measure as He pleases from
year to year, and these determine
the possible harvest. Of these we
really get only what the plant can
use, and there is no better test of
the skill of the farmer than his abili-
ty to use the maximum of this raw
material which nature provides.
Before the plant can use the sun
light and heat, it must depend on
the stored fertility of the soil; must,
in fact, depend on it more or less all
through it's life. This stored fertili-
tv is the contribution O. the farmer
to plant growth, not that he has Gre
ated it, but simply came into pos
session of it by rent or purchase.
The whole problem of grain growing
is how to handle the soil, how to per
feet it's physical condition that the
roots of the plant shall have full use
of the stored fertility and the leaves
and stalks the fullest use of the air
and sun.
All this seems simple enough when
it is said or written, but to do it al
ways or at all in any full proportion,
that is quite another matter. Gen
tie reader, you will find it so from
April even unto July this year. To
put the soil in the best physical con-
dition possible is the chief end of
all tillage, whether blowing, disking,
narrowing, or rolling, and in all these

Progress at the A. & NJ. College.

dent Wlnstons report to the General
Assembly on the condition of the
A. and M. College show decided and
very gratifying progress along agri-
cultural lines:
TO PROMOTE AGRICULTURE.
The college recognizes agricul-
ture as the chief interest of peo-
pie and strives especially to promote
agricultural education. For this
purpose the following agencie are
maintained:
1. A complete four-vears course
agricultural instruction, with ger
eral culture.
IA two-years course, devoted main
ly to practical instruction in agri-
culture.
3. A winter course in dairying and
agriculture, for actual farmers and
farm boys and girls.
4. A summer school of agriculture,
nature study, and manual training,
for rural school-teachers and farm
boys and girls.
S. Rural science and biological
clubs among the students, for study
and discussion of farm problems.
6. One hundred and twenty scholar
ships, comforting free tuition and
room rent, exclusively for agficultu-
raj students.
Z. Two thousand dollars annually
to pay for student labor on the farm.
s. Special prizes for agricultural
students doing the most work during
the year.
These efforts to promote agricul-
ture have been very successful. The
number of students in agriculture
has increased in two years from II
to 90. By January it will probably
be $50.
AGRICULTURAL BUILDING NEEDED
The college is without a suitable
building for agriculture. The pres
ent equipment is entirely inadequate.
The barn and dairy are small, anti
quated, and worn out. The Board
of Trustees have unanimously re-
ouested that $4,000 be appropriated
for this purpose, and have prepared
a memorial on the subject to the
General Assembly. Such a building
W provide the college with equip
ment for agricultural instruction
somewhat commensurate with the
great agricultural interests of the
State. A suitable site is available
just opDosite the State Fair grounds.
The college now owns sufficient land
for its present farming needs. The
Board of Trustees, with consent
of the Governor and Council of
State, have recently purchased the
Crawford farm, a very desirable
tract of land adjoining and jutting
into the college farm. Notes for
this purchase we're given amounting
to $4,000 on ten years time"
