Rational Farming.

Missouri has gone far towards learn
ing the lesson which her sister States
must learn sooner or later. that the
successful farmer must be educated to
his calling. The latest movement Of
the Board Of agriculture Of that State
Is the organization Of a course Of lee
lures 10 be delivered in the country
schoolhouses throughout the State.
The time has passed when farming
was mere drudgery and the exertion Of
animal force. The farmer who occupies
in his business about the same position
as his horse. relying merely on muscu-
lar eXertion, will shortly have no place
in the great work Of agriculture. The
increase in population and the alarming
decrease in the fertility Of soil, result
ing from bad management, are making
it every year more and more necessary
to use brains in the business Of farm
ing.
When agriculture is pitched upon a
rational basis, when il is made ascience
and studied as the physician studies
medicine. the minister theology and the
attorney law. il will become a profta-
ble and interesting field. and our boys
instead Of leaving the farm in search
Of some avocation where they can sat
isfy the energies and longing that are
a part Of youth. will in greater mum
bers be attracted to the soil and throw
their great efforts into the work oi
