Professor Sheldon on Agricultural Colleges. ae °

In the course of an interview between Professor Sheldon and the St. John Sun representative ia regard to the Agricul- tural College with which he is connec- ted and agricultural colleges in general, the following information was elivited :

Q. You are connected with the Wilts and Hants Agricultural College ?

A. Yes. Formerly I was connected with the agricultural college at Ciren- cester. The former in a measure sprung eut of the latter and has pretty much the samo stuff.

Q. What number of students had you at Cirencester ?

A. About 70, and the professors number 6. :

Q. Arejthese colleges voluntarily as- seciations ?

A. Purely se; the students pay £125 a year and the colleges are selfssuppor- ting.

Q. What branches are taught ?

A. Agricultural Chemistry and prac- tical demonstrations on farming. We alse teach Botany and Geolegy, Land Surveyieg, Mechanics, Bookeeping, besides giving the students vetenary practice ;

Q. Then you have a farm connected with the college ?

A. O, yes. Ourcollege farm con- tains 580 acres and is what might be termed a mixed farm, raising cattle, sheep aad produce of various kinds as well as devoted to dairy farming.

Q. Do many farmers take advantage of these colleges ?

A. No, net more than 10 per cent. of those whe attend are English farmers. Most ef the students are men going to the celonies to farm, or men who intend to beceme factors or land stewards for large estates, and who, therefore, re- quire to have an extensive kuowledge of farming to enable them to exercise a due supervision ever the tenants of their eraployers.

Q. Why do se few farmers attend these colleges ?

A. Because good farming is the rule in England among tenant farmers, and the latter are educated up te their busi- ness at home.

Q. Would such a cellege and a farm have a good effect in New Brunswick ?

A. Yes, decidedly; it would not fail to be @: great benefit. Here farming is at alow ebb; scientific farming is not practiced as it is ia England.

QQ. Where would be a suitable place for such an [ostitution in this Prevince?

A. Some placeen the St. John River weuld be suitable. There should be a farm of 400 or 500 acres, intervale and upland, and the cellege should be in the middle of the farm. Tweor three of the best breeds of cattle should be kept, and their produce seld. Mixed crops should be raised and butter and cheese making attended to. In this way good farming would be taught by example and the result could net fail to be very beneficial io the interests of the Pros vince.

Speaking of discounts ‘eff list price,’ the boys are telling a pretty good one down at Corning, N. Y., about a young fellow in commercial life named Blakie. Blakie? Yes, Blakie. He was in the hardware line. One day, when the boss was at dinner, a ceuntry- man came in to buy some nuts. He fouud un article that suited him, and wanted adoxen. Young Blakie looked at the price list and found they were listed *25 cents a dozen ; 30 off. He gave a low inverted whistle, and then, with a sudden inspiratien, he handed the customer 5 cents, and told him he could buy the nuts at the other store ‘ By George,’ he said, when be was tell- ing the governer of the transaction, ‘ I thought the best thing I could do was to save the nuts, anyhow.’

One of the biggest ‘strikes’ in Colo~ rado this yearis a mine that Gov. Tabor and others bought for $15,000, and which is said to be the biggest ‘ bo« nanza’ yet held by him. Experts asserts that half a million of ore is in sight, with no limit to the possibilities. The owners will not sell at any price, but will work it for ali it is worth.

Remedy for Hard Times.

Stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich food and style. Buy good, healthy food, cheaper and better elothing; get more real and substantial things of life every way, and especially stop the foolish habit of running aiter expensive and quack doctors or using se imuch of the vile humbug medicine that does you only harm, and makes the proprietors rich, but put your trust in the greatest of all sitaple pure remedies, Hop Bitters that cures always at a trifling cost, and you will see bet- ter times and health. itonce. Read of it in another column.

A Good Account.

“To sum it up, six long years of bed-rid- den sickness and suffering, costing $200 per year, total $1,200— all which was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken by my wife, who has done her own house- work for a year since, without the loss of a day, andI want everybody to know it for their benefit.”
