The Agricultural College

Agricultural colleges generally had their
beginnings in the bill introduced by
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont. in 1862,
which some time later was enacted into
law, providing that lands be set aside by
the government as they had been for the
construction of the Pacific railroads, from
the proceeds of the sale of which schools
should be established for agricultural in
struction.
1t is interesting to note that in this
same year, when most OF the white men,
folk were away on Southern battle fields.
the Sioux Indians of the state of Mime
sofa uprose and massacred some eight
hundred OF the frontier settlers, and in
the white mans reprisal thirty-eight of
the leaders were hanged on q single scat
fold in the town of Mankato. So it NAV
readily be believed farming at that time
had not been reduced to pedagogic form,
and little was done in any of the states for
years, except to provide few lectures on
bucolic subjects for the purpose of hang
ing on TO the appropriation When at
last President Farweli organized a real
course OF instruction, according to the
lights OF the time, it was impossible to Sc
cure any student to pursue it, even by
dint of bribery. which the worthy praeses
industriously tried.
DcOh AAiihS WAS stQutSQ anu I1QtcuieO
by every old fashioned farmer or 'spractl-
cali farmer, as it is in the '"way back''
districts in many states even to this day
II boy wanted to be a lawyer or a doe OF,
or even a parson, there was some excuse
for his wasting time in studying books
but "farmin' was 'farmin' ~ and it
wasn't to be learned in a school.
Times have changed since then. The
teachers themselves have learned some
thing. Many secrets have been unlocked
regarding the chemistry of soils as deter
mining their treatment and the crops they
will grow, the scientific crossing of breeds
of plants as well as ANIMALS, the improve
ment OF seeds by the selection of exem-
plary single heads from plot where each
straw is numbered, over a period OF ten
or dozen years. One such process al
this added twelve and half per cent. to
the hard dollars in the pockets OF the far
mers who planted one such variety pro-
duced in the Minnesota station. Spray
ing with mysterious college connections
eliminated the insects from the orchards
and doubled the value of apples in the
fruit market.-Harper's Weekly.

A Coed Miuce Pie

Mince pie is one of the staple dishes for
Thanksgiving day. An excellent rule for
the meat, which. OF course, must be made
at least two weeks in advance, is this
Minee fine two cups of boiled beef and
six apples; add quart and half of sweet
cider, a cup OF currant jelly, the grated
rind and juice OF two lemons and two
oranges, two cups OF sugar, one table
spoonful each oil salt and cinnamon, one
teaspoonful each OF cloves and allspice,
one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg and pep
per, two pounds of seeded raisins, one
pound OF curra.ts, quarter of a pound
Of shredded citron, a pound OF chopped
suet, and q cup of shredded candied
orange peel. Flavor with the rich juice
OF spiced or picked peaches to taste, OF
add vinegar boiled down to q syrup with
sugar.
This rule makes much richer and more
spicy pies than any other, and will be
found delicious.-Harper's Basar.

Dtar Sisters:

D,ar Sisters:
The election is over and Taft is our Presi-
dent-elect, so, presume the political work
ers will rest now and be getting ready for
winter.
We have had such a beautiful fall! The
seasons all have their attractions for me.
Nature in all her forms is such an interesting
study. The beauty of the cloudland, the i'm
mensity of space and endless possibility of
time. One may live a very long life and be
very learned, but they cannot fathom it.
We are very well prepared for the cold
weather, and have a few plants, but no such
variety as Aunt Maria has, Wish l could
look them over-think they make her cheer
full, her letters are always so breezy. Irish
Mollis's are interesting, too; every letter has
some helpful thought or recipe.
Then we have the Maine Farmo and the
Farmer sisters have so many good things in
the Home department. Once month comes
the Farm World, which abounds in good
things for the farm and home, too. 1t really
does not seem as though could give an origi-
nal idea, but if every one thought SO we
should not have so many nice things to enjoy.
Many kind wishes to Aunt Madge and the
sisters. From E.
Thank you, E., for your letter, and we
all shall so much appreciate your sending
the following from Flossie's quotation
book. She has always been q sweet mem
DRY to us all.

Each weaver fashions his own:
The warp and the wool are of Gods own

But the filing in Of the daily living
Is the weaver's choice alone;
Then choose bright threads for the home

AS the shuttle is daily thrown"

at the present time good and buyers plenty
but the prospects for the coming wear ar
excellent and many of the growers arc
storing their potatoes for higher prices.
The hay crop in Aroostook county is re-
ported to be fully up to the average, there
having been frequent showers while other
sections OF the State were suffering from
the drought which prevailed at the time
Under these conditions farm values in
Aroostook county are extremely high,
