The |?roprit?t\ and practicability of (
establishing a farmers college in this ,
State has become a liann of Ii\ eI \

minds, of tin' truth and tenabilityof
their variant positions, Iktuiisc 11i<*>injected
into tlio controversy too
inucli jiorsoual foelino and bitterness.
Anotlier farmer, sienii o himself, " \ i
Fanner, but no (iideonite," has enter
ed the arena of eontrovers\ and iimr
eilessly exposes the tlippant fallaiees
of t!it? advocates of the inauguration ,
of an agricultural colleio*. They a^- i
sume the success of the institution, iT
once established, without that scrutiny
ami critical "\amination into (lie
workings of existine colleges of like
orade, that an enterprise of such pro 1
portions demand. The Michigan
t'olleoe, after an existence of sonic
thirty years,and the receipt of over t wo
million dollars, is pla I upon the defensive,
and sends its agents throuoh i
the State to enlighten the farmers '
and induce them to send their sons '
to the college. It is not known
whether it is unwillingness, or an in- I
eapaeitv on the part of the farmers tup
manuoe a vol legate institution, but i
the fact i4-, tla' last farmer has disappeared
from its board of trustei s ami
has been replaced b\ I'. lb llayes. :
i
Some farmers affect to contemn and
condemn "l> ok fannino,*' and yet
they clamor for an institution, whose
instructors, usually, arc not practical
farmers. I>ut scientific theorists who
acquired their knowledge mainly from
hooks. The common tendency of
collegiate training' is to disqualify
for practical farming.
Me says:
"I think an examination into the
condition of the various aoricuitural
colleges in the Union would show
that they never have taujdit and never
can teach successful farming; and
are fai more likely to do harm to
students, as farmers, than to henelit
them. I hiring the four years spent
there the student enjoys all the luxuries
of wealth, lias the use of all the
improved implements and appliances,
and the best tools, hums, tVe., in the |
purchasing of which expense is no
ob ject. 11 is inventive faculties have
iio scope, expensive tastes are acquired,
and, knowing, the oreat and dis- >
mal ehaiioe that awaits him should
he return to a poor faun, poorer implements,
,yc., he generally makes iq>
his mind to nive up the idea. IJeeent
reports from Maine and Illinois
colleges claim only about I o p?>r
cent, of their graduates as farmers;
r"?
and (?en. Lee says that, out of thirtyseven
graduates sixteen are encased
in farinino or "kindred pursuits."
< )n looking over the catalogues and
report it would seem that twelve are '
eni/a?red as tutors in the rollene. I
0 tn ^ ? 1
leaving four, who may l>o engaged
*1 * ' t
in funning."'
1 In fearlessly dissects the last catalogue
of the vaunted Mississippi
college a id shows discrepancies and
inconsistencies that could hard I v have
occurred except for inexcusable negligence
or the report was made for
"the million."
He concludes a long letter in the
\eic# timl ('oitrier with the? following
sensible and nertinent advice to
farmers:
"We are constantly told to "organize."
For what? Some visionionarv
tells ns to organize and agree
to plant less cotton and control the
price! Why, wo might just as well
try to control the sun!
In my humble opinion* the only
way is for each man individually to
organize himself and hands, spend
his whole time in the field with tliein,
and. by constant vigilance, prevent
loss of time, tools, and all the numerous
leaks attendant upon our present
laborers, who are utterly unlit for!
any duty reuniting the least intelli- I
geneo. no idea of (lie j
value of nothing fur tinstock,
nor for tlie interests of their
^jinj^ovor. I'mler such circumstan- *
, *es it iW useless for any man to ex*
poet success without constant p< rsonal
supervision.
In the next place, we must live on 1
home-raised food, nise our own Iter- !
ses, and stop the fearful drain of
money constantly lluwing to the
W est for products wo can ami must
grow at home. This is what I would
call "common-sense farming," where
farmers raise all they need and sell
the surplus to the towns. Now we
find the reverse is the rule, and the
farmer depends upon the town for
everything he eats.
03 - 0m Massacre!

During the week just past the
keeper of the park and his assistant
killed fourteen moccasins, some of
their snake-ships being as large
round as the handle of a shovel. The i
reptiles were found in a ravine. - i

to have spee a! reference to this
ity. It is adinr ed that it added to
the Republican strength here XI

The purifying inlluenee of wo
man s vote has proven a uoplornole
failure lien-. Ms i 111 r< *? I u?* t i >i i has
been a (listurbinir element rather
tliau a benefit. The women !>i?>n?'ht

the male machine. Mnne\ has lie mi
used. Instead of lending a re!iiiin?r
atinosjiherc to the election, the contest
his simph developed lie less
admiral tie oualitie- of the mm tie
SOX.
The oreatest enthusiasm prevailed
here aiuono the women, who were
the first at the pools this uiornino.
In one side the women voted ami
on the other the men. Kvcry avail
aide vehicle in the, citv was run for
their ticeomuiodiilion. Kami vehicle
was in eharo'e of a female enthusiast.
The. wealthy ladies, in a lit of desporation,
placed tiieir private ear
riaires at work. Karl\ in the da\ a
stampede oeenrred in one ward,
miiiic to the elloits of some wouu i
to influence the votes ol another.
The men ipiicklx took part in t h"
discussion, and several knock downs
occurred in short order. The wo
men fled precipitately. Three nr
rest were made, hut not before
I 'hie! of I'olice Ifolierts, who led I lie
sipiad in that particular ward had i
eeiyed a painful thouoh not dan ;?

woman returned and deposited li i
vote alone. \11 emphatic example
of the disturl>ii)<r inlluence of the
new order of things was found in the
fact that the police were called
upon to interfere in a dispute between
husband ami wife, who heoan
(ptarrelline at the pools ami were
about to come to olows.
The fact is undeniable, however,
that the new element has proven a
potent factor. Needy, the people"
candidate for Mayor, had n larj^e
majoritN at his last election, and hi
popularity had iucrcired, but the
new vote ha made his re-election su
doubtful that his best friends claims
a victory only by .'{00 majority.
The opposition claim the da\ by an
equal number.
At Lawrence, where one half the
full registration was women, the
woman suH'raoe movement had probably
one of the most importont
tests in the Slate. The dn> really

held a mass-meetinjr at which
