While the Mexican rebels have

accorded the Madero government and
that the United States will treat all

v. S. A. Graduates.

Those As boys who graduated
from the Vermont State School of Az
riculture at Randolph are 10 take up
agriculture in this state. This is the
first class of farmer graduates from
Nermont's first agricultural school.
We believe these boys will make sue
cessful farmers in every sense of the
word and their example will be fol
lowed by an ever-increasing number
or farmers who know something of
the theory of soils, crops, fertilizing
and stock breeding We believe this
school is the greatest thing the state
has ever undertaken for its agricul-
tural interests.
Admission TO the school has been
made easy for those who really de-
sire to learn farming. Boys above Is
years Of age, who have completed
the work of the common school, may
enter this institution at an extremely
low yearly expense, and have oppor-
tunity to earn much of this amount.
High school graduates complete the
course in one year, but those having
only common school education need
two years in which to do the work
The whole aim and atmosphere of
the school is to educate young men
for good citizenship and intelligent
and profitable farming. Every sur
rounding at the school typiies coun-
try life and the boy who goes to the
Vermont State School OF Agriculture
at Randolph does not find himself
out OF place when he returns to the
farm. The courses of study include
such subjects as farm arithmetic.
feed. and feeding, farm accounting,
the principles of breeding, farm ma.
chinery, rural law, farm pests, dairy
ing. farm crops, agricultural chemis-
try. farm botany. applied physics.
types and breeds of animals. small
fruits. soils and fertilizers, veteri.
nary science, stock judging. rural
economies, poultry culture. orchard
management, Vermont and United
states history farming carpentry
and blacksmithing. grammer and
English, dairy bacteriology and other
subjects. Every subject is brought
down to local Vermont conditions
and needs. and in nearly every sub
lect practice as well as theory is
given. Connected with the school
odiiice propore are two dormitories.

the living for the students of the

which debates on agricultural prob
