i ' here their states discriminate against
the daughters in the A. & M. Colleges,
they have scut their daughters to indus-
trial schools, where they leant nil the
duties appertaining to mistresses ot farm
homes. They have themselves attend-
ed the short courses in Agticultural
Science provided by all theit A. Ct M.
(idlegi ., and they have by their patriotic
and progressive exercise of the elective
franchise, caused their states to provide
i l.irmcrs’ institutes and they have travel-
ed many miles through snow and ice to
attend these ‘ meetings. We heard
Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, tell of at-
tending a series of institutes m the nortIt-
em part ut that State during a protract-
ed pell ol zero weather, and there were
from 400 to (bo fanners in attendance
who had traveled long distances in sleigh* S
to attend. Where farmers manifest such I «
inti rest in meeting with their fellow far- i*
inci for the purpose of learning mine JJ
about then business, is it at all strange ' £
that they become better farmers alter j J
every ,uch occasion than they were be- —
loic? When ncn travel long distances
through snow and ice in quest ol knowl-
edge, arc they going to return without
it? Whenever the farmers of the South-
h<: .t become actuated by such a spirit
of earnest emulation, they will manliest
as mm h shrewdness as the Yankees and
as much industry and practical economy
as the German fanners of the West,
and they will be as prosperous. They
will then have better houses, better
bams, better implements, better stock,
and make belter crop*,and ,n*iket them
to better advantage. Our farmers are
not lacking in intelligence, but in unity
of spirit, in organization and concert of
action,
