Messenger Taken to Task.

The Monitors West Charleston cor
respondent, who furnished the origi-
nal item calling forth the following
from the St. Adams Messenger, "a
West Charleston farmer is on record
as having given up the task of teach
ing calf to drink. And still some
people laugh when course of elmen-
tary agriculture in the public schools
is proposed" has the following to say
to the Messenger:
The item in the recent West
Charleston locals concerning the task
of teaching a calf to drink was not
written to illustrate the inability of
West Charleston farmers but rather,
to show the extra ability of the West
Charleston girls. Now, if that calf
had been fortunately enough to claim
st. Adams as it's home, under the
same circumstances, we do not doubt
that the said calf would have gone
through life without the knowledge
that milk could be drank. Pardon us
if we do laugh at the idea of the
course proposed by the Messenger,
however, as that paper seems to be sc
much in favor of an elementary
agricultural course in the public
schools. We should infer that such g
course was needed there. We are past
the need here you see, as the rising
generation seem to be quite proficient
in the rudiments Of farming and we
doubt if many farmers could be pre-.
vailed upon to attend school. The
