Esteasive and intensive Farming in the United States, To the Editor of the E>patob: What we mean by extensive farming in the United States is that we need more and better farmers, and by intensive farming is meant a better preparation of lands already un der cultivation, an enrichiog of tbe soil, eo that it will produce more ana better utilities. Y;'?t as bis been tbe progress of the Uuited biatea in aa at ufaoi tiring, in commerce, in invention and tbe like, there is perhaps do branch of our national life which has shown more immense advancement in the last forty years as agriculture. As the twentieth century advances agri culture is rising from the obscurity of the yearB. It is entering more broadly upon a scientific career. There was a time?it is wi bin th?memory of many now living?when the only essentials in agriculture were that the farmer should plaot his seed, till tbe soil and reap hi* harvest. Iudetd, there are wid<regione yet where tillers of the soil 8till labor under tbe delusion tnat a man who has failed in all other lines of business may be successful m agriculture, thai it r* quires no education, no preparation, no knowledge of. dance to be a eu icessful farmer. Tiie fact that the greater portion of the United States has been bless ed ,witb a soil of productiveness has led men to place no coniideLce in anything but the soils fertility, to accept failures of crops as unavoidable visitations of Providence, to ignore the aid whicn science stand* ready to give all who will accept it. But the patient, ignorant farmer, who planted wheat and oats year in and year out, on lands that had become exhausted, who tried to raise corn on land that was Dever intended for it, who planted cotton on land which contained no cnemical* to make it open with a long and fleecy staple, who Dever gave a thought to the rotation of crops other than to laugh at the suggestion, who went steadily forward through a succession of failures with a tenacity which would have been heroic were it not so pitably stupid, this farmer is passing out and in his pl&ce comes the man who has learned that to be a successful farmer in the broau sense, he must have education, he must rely npon science, he must fib himself for his occupation. There have been some instances where men, densely ignorant of tne i: ?.~i u ruuiuieutai cicwcuto ui iaimiu^, unre been successful, bat that can be very easily accounted for by tbe generosity of the soil which they cultivated. We now Have quite a number of sgricultuial colleges in the United States which are impressing upon the minds of their students the importance and value of extensive and intensive farming. Tbe education to be given a young men from a farm should be such tl at he would be able to go back to tbe farm hited to take up tbe actual work of the farm, from the stand point of an enlightened educated scientific workman. Nothing should be taught with a view of leading bim to forsake the farm at graduation, but that every possible influence should be brought to bear to cause bis return to the farm as a preferred place for bis iife work. A studious and close observing young man can acquire u knowledge of scientific agriculture at almost an 7 college in the land if he so de Biiee, for there are ixtended courses of study embracing investigation in almost every science in the curriculum. In most of the colleges the experimental work of all the sciences is carried to a large, a practical and a commercially satisfactory conclusion. Especially is this true in the college with which this writer is connected. There are a great many people in this country leaving the farm, saying that they can no longer make a living on the fatm, that they are obliged to seek some occupation for a livelihood: no doubt this is tine, but the reason why of this is: Their lands have be come exhausted, they are uneducated, th^y do not understand how to intensify their farms, and the conee quences are as they say "compelled to leave the farm because their lands w 11 not y'eld them support.' The farmers are the "Done and sinew7'of the natioc; then farmers why will you not educate your sons that they may be able to help m&ke farming more extensive and intensive thiwicrhrmfr. fhe TTnitpd XtfttPP. that, V-- * they may be enabled to live better and easier than you h%ve. Every farmer is naturaiiy desirious of reaping the largest possible return from bis (xpenditure of labor and capital upon oie land, but unless he has some scientific knowledge cf agriculture, be will be unable to e Day ZzZZ, ] < know what aumun' ?<f labor and fertilizer to put into a pu-ce of laud ii> oid-r to jinld a profitable return. The philo-opber must labor witb band au'i tongue if be would give fctae resui ? of h?8 thoughts to the wo'ld, and he farmer too, can by no means, d h'8 work without the ex erase of intelligence J Ansel Caughmao.
