l iljl9 84§be Educated:
There seems to be at the -present
tune a general waking up cattle sub
ject of education. The educational
lights of the cities are radiating o u t
into the country, and all tlirpuglft'ae
rural districts is beginning to be felt
he need of more edueation. From
the report of the Committee on Ef
cation at - the late State Grange of
Ohio, it would seem that the Patrons
of Husbandry are, awake to the sub.
ject of education. They are
as good Schools, for the country
as they have in the citiei. And - not
only Patrons, but the -whole rural
population is becoming • interested in
better schools. This growing cle.6ire
on the' part of the farming communi
ty for a •higher education, does uot
grow out of a feeling that more book
education is needed to carry on their
business" snecessfully, as. much
does out of a general desire to tagy
more and be more. It is out,
growth• of that physical . acrelopment
and growth of brain brought about,
by comfortable -conditions in life and
daily out-door ekercise.
But. because science is of but little
practical use to the farmer is no rea
son why he should not be educated.
The people 'of • the rural districts
should lie educated.
Fiist, because they are men_ and
women, and, as such have an inalien
able right_ to, all the learning they
can master or ,obtain. - True edtiea
tends to increase the sphere' of .ac
tion, and.the• power . to perform. the
duties of life with justice,. honor and
integrity.. It is knowledge - alone
that eievates .the ciVilized above the
barbarian, and the ore. knowledge
an individual possesses other condi
tions being equal, the' higherhe is
ralsedin thought and action, and the
better he is prepared to revel in' Aid
beauties and. the mysteries 'of the
universe ; thereby adding to his, own
happiness and the happiness of all
who come,ivithin - 'his sphere.- Who
has a better right to this expansion
of.mind arising from increased know
ledge, and to the happy results
aris
ing therefrom, than the tillers ofthe
soil?
Second; farmers sbnuld .be-eflucat
edbecause on them depend . the Ai
tire population and progress of the
world. We.are told that the popula
tion Of the cities would die out were
it not for the constant intlut of pep
ulationlrom the country. How im
portant, then, that we edhcate this
influx that is to •keep aliye those cen
ters of population from which radi;
ate, the inte . „ligenee and literature
that f.tollesn the world.
Third, farraers.shotild be etlueatild
because they arc. the most numerous
and invert= part of the population
of the
,coaintry: The piospi•rity of a
nation depends on the - ntellia e ence of
the masses. And not only does the
prosperity of a nation , depend on the
intelligence of the masses, but the
freedom of the- maSses depends on
their knowledge. An intelligent peo
ple can not-be enslaved.' Education
alone will raise the farming commu
nity to that position in. the political
field to,which it is entitled by virtue
of its numbers. Education alone will
lit them for filling the highest (aces
of trust and honor,
and 'enable them
to take to themselves that share of
the-governing power that justly .bv
lonffs'to. them. J. M. Snail..
Farming. in France
TUE S3IALL-PIi@PIttETOE SYSTEM THE
B.1:-1S - OF - FRENCII WEALTiI
Since. the transfer .of Alsace and
Lorraine to Germany. the
- population
of France has been estimated at 36,-
01)0,000. • Franee for the past. I'm: -
years has been. the most prosperons
-of civilized nations, and .her proSper
ity•has not been in. the...brilliant for
tunes 'oftlie showy. few but in the
comfortable competence attained - uy
.the many. We are apt Vo. think of
the. French as excelling in the' manu
faetures,especially of the produCtions
requiring irtistie . skill, and to these
superior industries we often attribute
their - .exceptional good fortune
through- the hard times prevailing all
over the woild. But the - truth• ap
pears to ba that egrieulture"is; after
the basis of their accruing wealth,
as it-has been of permanent and abi
ding welfare - in all - lands and all
. ,
Of the 3q,009,000 of. population
libire noted, 21,000,000, or
.about
three-fifths, -are agriculturists. The
total arable area is estimated at 114,-
000,0n0 acres. This would give: "au
average 0r.53.5 acres to each inklir
d
ual, or- 57 . acres to eell family of five
members.
-A farm of 27 acres in thia cotintry
would. be considered, rather " small
.
potatoes." It the ,grain:growitpj; - -- ~
re
gions of the est, Alm cotton liclus•
of the South, and among the eatthi
ranches of the, Southwest, .27 acres
would be - counted a garden patch,
and:not a,very large garden •at that.
But in Prance these small.farms not
only sUpPort the cultivators' families,
but enable them to iiiiprove their
condition year by year. The rural
population raise crops enough for
themselves, provide a surplus for the -
other twollifthS of the comniunityen—
gaged in manufacture-and trade, and
usually have considerable Stores_ to
spare for eport beside.
...I.low small
the shares contributed by--eaCh _farm •
muSt\he, is illustrated, by the fact
that any shorteoMing 'af , a crop is
more that likely : to wipe out the sur
plus entirely, as - for instance, the, bad
wheat harvest- of this year makes all
the difference between the export of
about 20,0(10,00 bushels and the ini-•
Iport . of nearly as large an 'amount
But this is only an accident. ,Unsu
, ally the, surplus can be counted Os
with a degree of certainty, and the
FrencliTarmer is hi the long run sure
of fair returns for - his , labor. .It is
plain io see thatAbc - systetn of aari
cultute pursued on these miniature
plantations must be very . different,
from that in vogue on our;broad praj
iries and wide-Spreading. valleys;
and in view of the. substantial results
obtained, it may yet be worth our
while to learn what the distinctive
featnres.of this system are that give
slice - cgs to the farmers of. France.
