A dreadful suspicion begins to haunt
the New England mind that the stud
ents and graduates of the agricultural
colleges in the six states of that section
of the earth, never intend to become
fiatfooted farmers. To dig the dirt
with ones own hands is thought in
old England to be degrading, accord
ing to Mr.. Balfour, and he ought to
know, The same idea appears to be
gaining ground in New England.
Agricultural students learn nothing
practical about farming in an agricul-
tural college. The only place to teach
that is on the farm, where the condi-
tions of soil, insect pests, drunken
farm hands, weeds and hysterical
weather, confront the farmer for practi.
cal solution. The college graduate
expects to become biologist, a mos
quito expert, a boil weevil extermin-
ator, traveller to China to hunt for
parasites, an ornithologist, a geolo-
gist, student of the migration of
birds, or some similar scientist" with
the title of professor" before his
name.

The lives of the men are terribly hard in

an American may well be astonished to
learn that these poor fellows-hundrcds and
thousands of them-slave night and day

three or four dollars week.
And yet il is these men and their like who
form the very backbone of the British navy.

In those early days the fishing smacks
ran out singly. carrying little ice for the
preserving of their catch and choosing their
own markets. Thus every week the

might ask If 1t is true that, generally

health and long life and If, also, a large
and growing proportion of citizens have not

is one of public concern. Is it not. for

Some claim holders begin their work
in October or November and do 500
worth of work, and continue into the
succeeding year. when they do an adj

ment they are required to visit the
claim only once in two years instead of
yearly. If an amount of work be per-
