Educating the farmers.

E. Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of
the University of Nebraska, makes an
earnest plea for more scientific meth
ods in agriculture. In an address be-
fore the Social Education Congress at
Boston he placed the farmers of this
country at the head of the list of public
educators. He credits the numerous
institutions of learning with accom-
plishing great things for the agricultur-
lists, but sees in the future brighter
and more prosperous days for those who
till the soil. In the course of his speech
on Industrial Education in the Prairie
State" he said:
Gigantic and encouraging as our
propaganda for agricultural enlighten-
ment is, it is only beginning to succeed.
In agriculture as in medicine, knowl-
edge far outruns practice. The expert
agriculturist, like the up-to-date physi-
clan, finds patients callous, often more
so in proportion to their need. The
great desideratum of agricultural edu-
cation today is missionary methods and
enterprise. We still know all too little,
yet could we bring farmers to live up
to their best available light they would
speedily become the wealthiest of men.
One is at times tempted to think that
people actually hate wisdom"
The farm of today must be handled
in the best manner possible to give sat
isfactory results. 1t is modern bust
ness institution. There is an invest
ment and annual expense account The
terest on the capital and pay the owner
yearly dividends. If tbs farm does not
do this it is financial failure. Almost
every cultivated tract can be made to
bring good results if correct methods
are followed. There is where practical
education has the advantage over the
old-time systems of farming.
We have many educational features
connected with our agricultural devei-
opment. The general government is
perfect college and free information
bureau. The farm Institutes and asso-
citation are classes in local science ap-
plying to all home conditions. The ag-
ricultural colleges are institutions of
learning that can be approached by old
and young. They have the winter
schools, dairy classes, horticultural and
agricultural meetings to which all are
invited. One by one the poor farmers
are disappearing before the light of
education. They find work in the cities
where day laborers command only liv-
ing wages.
There are greater opportunities on
the land than in any other line Of in
vestment. The soil and climate pro-
duce abundant crops and the people Of
the world must have these products.
Some of the best men in finance and
government comes from the farms.
There is the place to graduate for all
the active duties of life. Let no young
man think he is above farm labor
When such thoughts enter the mind
and take formal possession the man
thus directed becomes wage earneer
for the remainder of his days. Look
upon the farm as a profit payer and
work it accordingly. Seattle Post-In-
telligencer.

Growing Beef In New England.

l am asked whether or not crushed
corn, or whole corn, with plenty of good
oat straw or corn roughage, will make
beef on young stock. In reply will say
that without doubt it will, and that
when fed to good beef animals or sur
plus dairy animals, providing they are
large aud robust, there may be profit in
it. The exclusive feeding of beef ami
mails will not soon become a part of New
England agriculture, except in places
remote from creameries and milk trains,
but in most of these sections there
should be far larger number of such
animals than there is now. AroOstook
County with the magnificent fields OF
clover and mixed grains, portions OF
New Hampshire and Vermont remote
from markets, and where fine pasturage
abounds, may we'll turn their attention
to the beef steer. Intelligently fed, he
will return a profit on the food consum-
ed. and aid In increasing the fertility OF
the farms and enhancing the value OF
the soil products.
This is in no sense Plea for the
general purpose animal, who is as un-
Certain what to do with its surplus food
as a cross eyed man is which way he is
looking, but rather for encouraging the
increasing of beef bred animals In some
sections, and the further development OF
dairy bred animals in others.-Turf,

When the tenor said, Congratulate
us. Max: we have Just leased the acad-
emy for classic operas-no candy rot

~ wish you great success. But tell

To this Adams responded, "Antig.

Maretzek suavely said: THAT is mag
