an object for which some of our towns

with it. For instance look at the list Of
graduates Of Yermont's agricultural insti-
tuition. OF the 35 men who have complet-
ed their courses in that branch during the
past dozen years, twelve entered directly
into the farming industry, twelve more
entered closely allied occupations, while
only eleven forsoolx that for which they
were trained for other means Of livelihood
In addition to those facts, the following
from the last prospectus Of the college
bears out the same contention, COZ the
many non-graduates Of the past ten years
who for one reason or another generally
financial stress have been unable to COM
plete their course, much the larger share
Of those who remained in college more
than one year are engaged in farming
operations and mostly in Vermont y
Thus it will be seen that the agricultural
college does fit for farming II any fault
is to be found it is in that more young men
do not take advantage Of the opportunities
offered them.
