Teaching Real Farmers.

1t is one thing to teach boys and
yo1tnS men who expect to become
farmers; 1t is quite another thing
to teach the real farmers-the men
who are doing things in field and
orchard and feed-yard. The College
FoI Agriculture of West Virginia
University is trying to do its full
share OF both kinds of teahcing. It,
appeals at all proper times to the
young men who intend to be farmers
of the better sort; but at this par
tIcular season it is appealing to the
mature men of the farms for the
purpose of helping them to become
better farmers-that is, farmers
who are continually learning better
ways and practicing better methods.
The particular means by which
the College of Agriculture is trying
to teach the real farmers is the
series of lectures, exercises, demon
strations and conferences which
make up what is called the Winter
Course in Agriculture, to be given
during the month of January, be-
ginning on january 4 with course
of instruction prepared especially
for those Interested in horticulture.
horticulture Week at Morgantown
ought to attract fruitgrowers from
all parts of the State. The second
week is cal+ed Animal Husbandry
week; the third, Crop Production
Week; the fourth. Farm Manage
ment Week, for each OF these weeks
the work is planned to attract and
instruct the men particularly inter
ested in these large departments Of
the agricultural industry.
The cost OF the course is merely
nominal. The student pays a regis
tration fee of one dollar for single
week; for two or more weeks he
pays two dollars. At the two-cent
rate, travelling is almost as cheap as
staying at home; and board and
lodging can be had as low rs three
and half dollars per week. We
should he glad to be able to report
that a number of our best farmers
are going to Morgantown for the
Winter Course in Agriculture.

Modern Greatness.

Greater wheeling viii fail because
of the refusal OF those within the
city to let the outside eome in and
because those outside refuse to be
taken in. The 1ailure rests on the
question OF taxation. Those within
are seIhsh enough TO believe that to
take the others in would he to in
crease taxes. Those without get
pood many OF the advantages as it
is and appear to fear they would get
no more though there would be
greater taxation.
Somewhat similar con d ftAoTls tIre-
vain here, though the city itself
through it's council is inclined totbe
generous to the suburbs. This may
