Tae moonlight on the autumn hills rests like a bridal veil—
That worn by Dusk when Silence came^and won her tor his
own; J
Far to the south one floating cloud, while as a distant sail,
Y# And, near, a star-lighthouse along a^sea that makes no moan.
' The world could well be fancied as a palpable, clam dream,
J So peaceful and ethereal ail things in nature seem:
H And who shall sav but Eden’s charms beside the scene might
fail, ♦
When moonlight on the autumn hills rests like a bridal veil?
None but the G>d may penetrate their master v that bars—
Hid safe as the last thought of friends who die in alien ways;
None else recall the secrets lost since sang the morning stars—
The loves and hates enveloped in the ashes'of old days!
J But chastened, awed and marveling. Heave them to the night,
■ Crouched supplicants, they seem at last, before Jehovah
T might—
" The r prayers articulated in a rising breeze wail—

■ prefer to try one or two before
going further. Georgia has an
agricultural college in each con-
gressional district, and many
States have an agricultural high
school in each populous agricul-
tural county. Texas might, well
afford to start with four. It is
only a question of time and de-
velopment when the people will
demand more of them. Certain-
ly, four at this time would
scarcely meet the demands.
Agricultural education is no
longer an experiment, and the
real, working farmers of Texas
no longer regard'it as impracti-
cal. Texas farmers are far in
advance of Texas statesmen in
this respect. They are studying
as well as toiling, and they want
the State to exert its' utmost en-
ergies to develop its greatest in-
dustry. They know that scien-
tific agriculture pays, and they
desire more of it, closer home,
for their sons and themselves.

The expense of such a group of
colleges will not be so great as to
cause hesitation. Fifteen to

Each such college and farm
would straightway become the
center of agricultural informa-

region around. Farmers, stock- long,
men and horticulturists would
visit them often;’ would co-oper-

learn more about applied agricul-

There is no reason why the State
should not receive such dona-

the contrary, the idea is to make
the great institution greater and
more useful .by relieving it of
much undergraduate work and
furnishing it with a class ot bet-

same time to accommodate a large
number of young men who - can-

There are literally thousands
of young men who desire a sub-
stantial education in agriculture
and animal husbandry. A small
proportion of them attend the
Agricultural and Mechanical col-

And of those who attend, only a
