Sutton at 1009 OradURtlou Kxerrlsen of MrHenry, High School. Agriculture is the oldest of the Krts and the most recent of the sciences. Advance iu agriculture must hereafter be made along the lines of principles derived from a careful study of the soil and its relatiftns to plant and animal life together with the economic control aud distribution of products made cer tain and manifest by repeated experi ence, which 4s a matter of common record aud report. A good proof of this fact is the case of T. B. Terry of Akron, O. When he took possession of his farm he could not find a tenant who would pay him scarcely anything and the first year several cattle died of starvation. He worked with his head as well as with his hands and soon astonished his neigh bors by the crops he raised. Mr. Terry lias written an admirable work on agri culture, entitled, "Our Farming," in which he relates his own work and ex perience. From this we see that the science of botany, which treats of plants, their structure, use, methods and con ditions of growth, has an important connection with the stndy of agricul ture. It is a great truth that the strength of every human being is drawn from the earth and that those who cultivate the earth or remain in contact with it one way or another as hunters, herdsmen and farmers are the most vigorous mem bers of the race, the conquerors of the earth. This truth has often been prov en in history. As long as the Romans honored agriculture and lived largely on their own farms, these hardy men from the country overcame all nations. The time came when agriculture was the work of the slaves, when the free flocked to the cities. Then came the fall of R«me under the irresistable onset of the hardy Germans who were strangers to city life. The country people of New England resisted man fully the power of England, and the poet points to the scene of their heroic deeds in the lines, "Here once the em battled farmer stood and fixed the shot heard around the world." It is a general belief that almost any man can leave the city and make a liv ing on the farm, but this is a grievous error. Farming must be learned as 'must engineering and teaching, and this learning cannot be gotten entirely from books and bulletins, but only thru ex perience in farming. It is true that benefit and knowledge is derived from books, but it is mostly the why and not the how. Many people know only why certain things are done and have never lived on a farm. What such people don't know about actual farming would take all of Carnegie's money to buy a library to hold the books about. The establishing of school gardens helps to provide for this lack to a great extent, especially in the cities. Nor is this means of education confined to city schools. We may think the country children learn practical agriculture at home. They do, but not all, nor is it the best. There are plenty of instances where country boys have learned to mix agriculture with brains, and the experi ments performed in school gardens taught him to raise more aud better crops to the acre than his father had ever done. The introduction of such education does not mean that the other branches are to be neglected, but it does mean that the boys and girls are to learn the real advantages and pleasures of country life and, as they hoe potatoes, think of things other than that their city cousins are not blistering their hands as they are. Such agricultural education has a three-fold value, an educational, economic and practical. As an educational aid, it has materially raised the age of leaving school "from two to three years," say the government officials, both in this as well as many European countries. Many students would have left school with only an elementary education were it not for the opportunity to learn things in which they were interested. The economic necessity is very imperative because agricultural products are half of our ex ports, which makes it necessary for the most economic means of production to reap the richest returns. Some practi cal values are that we get early exper ience in success and^ failure and a con sciousness of one's power to take care of himself, to be independent and, what ever befalls him or however great the fall, to be like the cat, always able to land on its feet. In addition, will be an increased respect for farm and farm ers, a thing which is greatly needed. Students do not go to agricultural col leges just to learn how to raise more corn, to feed more hogs, to buy more land, to raite more corn, etc., add in- finitism, but how to live on as high a social and intellectual level as that of their cousins of the city. The soil may be compared to a bank for it is only what you put into your bank and what you leave in it that en riches it and enables you in due time to draw a heavy interest on dividends. It is the proper fertilizers which are put into the soil that enables one to get from it valuable crops.
