Course in Agriculture.

In the nationwide movement for
better rural life introduced by ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and being propogated
and supported by many of the ablest
men in the United States and in which
movement Vermont is now becoming
interested, one of the problems which
continually presents itself is to get a
fairly comprehensive and accurate
knowledge of up-to-date agriculture to
young men and women who, because of
responsibilities resting upon them, are
unable to attend an Agricultural school.
To meet this requirement several
courses have been placed before the
public. Among these there is one, the
Brooks course in agriculture, given by
the Home Correspondence school of
Springfield, Mass.
The Addison county Y. M. c. A. has
made arrangements with the above
named school to supply this course at a
moderate rate providing so may be
found in Addison county and Brandon to
take the course. This course includes
full instruction papers and three vol
umes of over 1000 pages by VIM. P.
Brooks, Phi. D., of the Massachusetts
Agricultural station.
This course is being taken by minis.
ters, teachers, farmers and people of
all types, who are unable to attend
agricultural schools. Any person in
terested may obtain information by
addressing County Secretary Y. NJ. c.
A, Middebury VT.

tween these dates are: Marten, mink,

the fur has become so valuable that this
was necessary to insure prime fur.

Professor Raymond Mcfarland of
Middlebury college brought out some
interesting facts relative to the adj
vanced position of Vermont in the
matter of the preparation of secondary
school teachers, at the meeting of
educators held at Cambridge, Mass.
recently. 1t is decidedly encouraging
that in this state there is one student of
education to 1907 population, inasmuch
as this places Vermont, in respect of
teachers education, at the head of all
of the New England states. 1t is sig
nificant that in Connecticut there is only
one student of education to &c, 497 pop
ulation. These statistics should go far
toward disabusing the public mind of
the feeling that Vermont is backward
in educational matters. - Rutland News.

Elaborate tests carried on by the navy
department discloses the fact that the
Panama canal virtually has nothing to
fear from a sea attack, so far as the
Gatun and other locks are concerned.
This is gratifying but why should tests
be necessary to determine this Why
should there be any danger that the
canal will ever be attacke Why is
it that nations must protect works that
are for the advantage of the whole
world from the attacks of part of the
world? The nation which, even in time
of war, would set to work to destroy the
canal would be doing every other ma
ton a positive injury, for the canal is a
channel of trade, primarily and funda-
mentally. War may still be necessary,
but war need not mean the destruction
of such works as this monster ditch.

 o0O were produced, without counting the stands of young alfalfa, the pro- ducts consumed at home and the in crease in the live stock. This spring a hundred additional families are to join the colony. That they might take deep root in the fertile Utah soil and thrive, the transplanting is to be financed by a bond issue of $150,0O0, largely taken bv the society's packers.

 Australia is anxious to obtain settlers 1 on the irrigation projects built with public money. The United States de- mands that the settlers repay the cost
 of the project in ten annual install
 ments: Australia extends the time of
 payment over thirty-twO years. and a few of the Australian provinces go even farther: they actually advance money to give the poor settler a start. An attempt to have the state or the nation
 advance public funds or private indi- viduaIs would be foredoOmed to failure in the United States, no matter how
 laudabIe or beneficial the policy, but
 the growing tendency of private enter
 prise to grub stake" settlers on irri-
 gated land, to finance the small farm
 until the owner is able to repay both
 the loan and the purchase price, leads to the hope that the absorption of un- productive irrigated land will be ma- terially accelerated in the next five , years.
