SCIENTIFIC FARMING. Details ¢f the Bill to Rejuvenate the Laricultaral Colege. The Looation to beGiven to the High. est Bidder—A Divorce From the University, Cotrespondence of the Brr, Lixcors, Neb., January 27,—The bill recently Introduced in the legislature provides for a separation of the agrical fural ocllege from the university, The object is to make something out of it werthy of the name and make it accom- plish to eome extent what it was de- signed for. The name of the college is to be the college of agrlculture and mechanio arts It s to be governed by a board of six trustees appeinted by the governor and confirmed by the senate. One half of the trustees are to be actual farmers, There I8 to be a part of the farm set apart for an experimental station. All the operations of the farm are to be con- ducted in an experiments] manner. All operatiors are o be reported quar- terly to the secretary who is to keep all reports In such a manner that by reference 10 any field or orchard a complete history of it may be obtalned in 1egard to prepat- ation of soil, manuerirg, rulture, yield,or any cther points that may te of import. ance in an experimen‘al way, 1t s fpro- posed to mwake agriculture, stock raising, daliying, orcharding and nursery opera tieg a epeclality in such a way that the stucents may learn what is de igned thoy should learn from such a schosl and farm, They are to be taughtto eome extent wcod and iron work. It is expacted that no student will go through the collegs who cannot sharpen and use the various kinds ¢f saws and plares so as to per- form ail work that may be required on the farm in a workman-like manner, Veterinary science is to be provided also. The fact that it isa college is nob sight of, A liberal course in Eng wathematics and especia ly those relating to agriulture are nade a speci- alty, such as bo'any, meteorology, ento- mology, agriculturc, chemistiy, anatomy, and physiology of animals and plants, natural philosophy and mechanics = The fact that the graduates are to become good citizens, moral and political science are to be provided for. 1n short it is to provide sich an educa‘ion as many clsssic- al men have learned by sad experience is the most valuable part of their education, The il provides that the experimen's on the ccllege farm shall be well reported and circulated for the benefit of the state. Itistobe the people’s college to work among and for the people, not above them, The great reason for separating it from the univereity is because it is doing but little good. Nor have we any reason to think or believe that it will accomplish what it should s> loog as it is connected There is not a sin- gle example of success in the United States whera the two are combined. Take, for example, some of the best ones, 88 New ¥ork, Ohic, Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota and California. In their cata- logue for 1883 the entire six report forty students in sgriculture, while Michigan alone, which is separate from the univer- sity, has more than five times that num- ber, while its population is only one- eight of the six states mentioned, Or compers with Kansas, which is sep- arate, we find this young state with seven times the six states mentioned, while her population is only one-thirteenth. The agricultural colleges on a seper— ate bas's ara the only ones that ars suc— ceeding. The universitles of the United States have been expsrimenting from ten to twenty years with the agricultural college and have failed slmoet utterly to accom- lish the end designed by such achools. It would seem tkat experimenting the above leng h of time is sufficient to cause a change of base. Tathe langusge of another the best fisherman is the man that catches the most fish, so the best agricultural college is the cne that pro- duces the most farmers. The colleges seperate from univarsities are the ones that do work of akind and quantity tha! smounts to something, such a3 Michigan, Kai and Maseachusetts. The bill provides that the state shal advance for buildings 850,000, to be re- imbursed in pert by the sale of the pres- ent college farm, also that any county or countics jointly may Lid for the location of the college within its border upon the tollowing conditions: To dcnate to the college not Je:s than G40 acres of land and not less than $25,000 in cash, The beard of trustecs reserving the right to refuss apy orall bids for good aud sufti- cien: reasons. This glves an oppoitunity for sume county towards the in‘erios of the state to get a first class collsge, ore that will soon have an exdowment of over $600,000 from the eale of lind which will prcduca an income of $30,000 and the state is bound by the terms of the grant to make good the endowment if any of it should Le lost. The first of October, 1885, is the limit of time given to recelve bids for locating the college. The bill provides that suffi- cient bulldings be erected and professors and employes engaged o open the school in April, 1885, INTENT OF THOSE ADVOTACING THE BILL THAT PASSED CONGRESS JULY 2, 1862, Inaemuch as thers is some difference o opivion in regard to this question we quote from speeches delivered by Mr. Mcrrll who Introduced the bill, Firat, from h's speech in congressionsl Globe, 36 h congr e, first sesslon, page 1692: ‘‘We exert our power atd expend mill- ions fo protect and promote commerce throogh light houses, coast surveys, im- provement cf harbors, and through our navy and naval asademy, Our military “crown jewels” are manufactured at ‘Weat Point on government zcsount, We make immanse grants of land to railrcads to cpan rew fields of inteinal trade, We secure to literary labor the protection of copyright, 'We encourage the growth and diecipline of hardy seamen by cking out their scanty rewards through govern- menfalbounti 5. 'We secare to ingenious mechsnics high profits by our system of patent righ's, We make munificent grants to s:cure genersl eduvalion in all the ncw states. But all direct ¢ncour- agenint to agricalture has been rigidly wiihheld.” He goes at some length in pointing out the rapid deterioration of our American eci', and that the time will soon come whon sclence will have to aid as it has dor ¢ in Earope to bring our eoils to a meximum of productiveness, He rays: *“Thera is 1tile doubt but that three fours hs of the arable land of our whole country is more or less subjectad to this process of exhsusticn, 1t has been esti- matedby Dz, Les, of Goorgi®, that the! annnal income « f the soil of not lesn than 100,000,000 of acres of land in the Unit ed States 18 diminished at the rate of ten conts per acre, This would amcunt to £10,000,000 and involve the losa of capi- tal of §166,666,606 annually. “Agriculture undoubtedly demards our first care, because its procducts, in the sguregate, are not enly of greater value than those of any other branch of Indust.y, but greater than all the others togethier, and hecauss It is not merely conducive to the beaith of society, the health of trade and of commerce, but es- sontial to thelr very oxistence. But while it fs the most useful and earllest of arts, 8o sluggish have been its advances that wo are jet experimenting upon problems which were mooted points ¢wo thousand years ago. Surely an interest #0 superior and of such vital consequence, ought not to be left to lingering routlne, but the aid of acience should be invoked to accelerate its pace, until it can keep step with that of other induatrial pur- suits of mankind, ““We have achools to teach the art of manalaying and to make masters of ‘deep throated engines' of war; and shall we not have schools to teach men the way to feed, clothe and enlighten ths great brotherhood of man? 1t is juat on the part of atatesmen and legislators, just on tho patt of the learned professicns, that they should ald to elevate the class upon whom they lean for support, and upon whom they depend for \heir aud- ience. There is no clashing of interests. Itis not designed to make every man his own doctor, or every man his own lawyer, but to make every man understand his own business. A lawyer is not the worse for having an intelligent client, nora clerpyman the worse fcr having a pros- perous parishioner, Our present literary colleges need bave no more jealouty of sgricultural collcges than a porcelain manufactcry woud have of an iren foundry, They move in seperate spheres, without competition, and using 10 raw material tnat will diminlsh the urply of one or the other. ““he farmer and the mechanic require special chools and app- op:iate literature quite as much as any one of the so-called learned professions, The practical science are nowhere else called into such repeated and constant requis tion, Would it be sound policy for one who expected to ex- pound Blackstone to limit his reading to a muck manual or to agricultural chem- istry? 1f it would not, how are we to ex pect one to solve all thescientific relations of earth, and water,and vegetable and ani- mal life whohas only explored reading, writing and_avithmeiic. ““We need to test the natural capabili- ties of the soils and the power of different fertilizers; the relative value of different grasses for flesh, fat and milk giving pur- poses, 1he comparativelvalue of grain, roots and hay for wintering stock; the value of a bushel of co.n, oats, peas, carrots, potatoes or turnlps in pounds of beef, pork, or mutton; deep plowing as well as drainage; the vitality and deterioration of seeds; breeds of animals; remedies for the potato disease and for all tribes of insecis destructive to cotton, wheat and fruit crops, These and many more are quettions of scientific interest even be- yond their economical importance in the researches of the agrioulturist. “Itis plainly an inaication that educa- tlon is taking a step in advance when public sentiment begins to demand that the faculties of young men shall bo trained with eome referance to the voca- tlon to which they are to be devoted through life. Itis clear that intellectual discipline can be obtained under more than one mode, and, if the primary edu- cation sought for this purpose can be afterwards be applied to practical use in the destined occupation, it is a polnt clearly gained*”’ In the closing of his speech he says :i‘l’m this measure and we shall Lave lone; Something to enable the farmer to ralte blades of grass instead of one. Something for every owner of land; Something for all who desire to own land; Something for cheap scientihc educa- tion; Something for every man who loves intelligence and not ignorance; Something to induce the farmers’ sons and daughters to settle and cluster around tbe old homestead; Something t) remove the last vestige of pauperism from the land; Something for peace, good order, and the better support of Ohristian churches and common schools. Soma to enable sterile railroads to pay divideads. Shmethng to enable the people to benr the enormous expenditures of the natioral government. Somothing 1o check the passion of in- dividuals and of the natten for Indefintte teriitorial expansion and ultimate de- crepitude. Something to prevent tha dispers'on of our popu'ation snd to cuncentrate it around the best Jands (f our country— plec:s hallowed by church ep ras and mel- lowed by all the influences of time— whero the ccnsamer will be placed at the dcor of the producer, aud thereby some- thing to obtain higher prices for all agri- caltaral productiops. Sometning to increase the loveliness of the American landscape. Scientific cul- ture is the sure precursor of order and beauty. ““Tne persuative arguments of prece- dents; the example of our worthiest rivals in Europe; the rejuvenation of warraut lands which bring forth taxes only; the petitions of farmers every- where yeaining for a more excellent way; philanthropny sapported by our own highest interests—all these considera- tions impel us once to do something for agriculture worthy of its national impor- tanca,” R ¥ very Woman Knows Them, The human body is much like a good clock or watch in i s movements; if one goes oo slow or too fast, so follow all the othe s, and bad time results; if ene organ or set of organs works imperfectly, perver- sion of funct onal effort of all the organs is sure to follow, Hence it is that the nu- merous ailments which make woman s life miserable are the di ect issue of the ab- normal action of the uterine system.

But it so happened that a knd invitation and good company tempted me to take the over: land route to Dodge City, en route to Denver, “You will pass by some of the lar ca'tle ranches in the world before 3 into the Indian territory,” a friend re marked. On the 20th of December, with a airf gky and a cool, bracing air, we rode out of Colorado City, Passing by properties mentioned in former letters, we concluded to stop at Goodnight ranch, where Mr, Robe:t Beatty, familiarly knowas as Bob— ths rosy, genial son of Col. Beatty, capi- falist and erstwhile big politiclan of San Francisco—had in charge some 8,000 head of sheep. He is the modern marvel and natural, hospitable, typical plainsman, is Bob whom everybody likes. Our re- ception was unaffected and heatty. The Goodnight ranch Is princlpally owned by an Irish capitslist named James G, Adair. Mr. Goodnight ls the resident monsger and partner of this great estate, which cna year sgo repre- sented in value §6,000,000! Prompt re- jection was made of an cffer of $4,000,- 000, This proper'y is the result of an investment’ of $350,000, made in 1876- 77. It embrases a million of acres—a big German principality or a small em- plre in extent. Over this vhst range 100,000 head of cattle are roaming. Fally 25 per cent of the estimated value hes been returned to thejowners in divi- dends within seven years. The ranch covers the connfies of Randa'l, Arm- strong and Donley. Saveral months ago Mr. Goodnight sold to an English eapi- talista property known as the ©Kittie Qaay ranch” for a round million of Awerican dollars, The rsnch was organ- Ized in 1879 with Mrs. Goodnight's pin money, and _represented in cash $125,- 000. Mrs, G. had s Jiberal allowance, it may be inferrad. Anyway, the vast eums are bawildering. ; The ride through familiar country dis- covered larger and smaller ca‘tle plants, which are so often the property of foreign capitalist, whose agents swarm through Texas with plenty of le'suie and money at their backs. Part of one day was apent at the rench of the Francklyn Lend and Oattle compary I was anxious to see Mr. Ben Groom and acn, the managers, who wera 80 Jorg identified with the breeding of thoroughbred cattle in Kentucky, but they were absent. Thisgreat rench covers the territory of a European kingdom. It enbraces the counties of Hutckins, Rob- ert. Cerson snd Gray, in Texas, and ex— tends into New Mexico, The vast terri— tory of thirty-six hundred equare miles is surrounded with a wire fence. The ranch represents an actual cash investment of $1,950.0(0, with a sicck capitalizstion of $3,000,000. It is the model ravch of Texas. Every depart— ment shows system and a high order of exocnttve ability. The splendid business habits and training of the Grcoms have served to recoup thelr fortunes. Wind- mills are whirling thelr huge armsin every direction and wells and buge tanks furnish and kegp sn ample supply of wa— ter for man and beast in the dry season. Bering artesian wells is only one feature of enterprise visible and the comp’ete success which has crowned this work has alarmed some of ths native Texans, who are anxiously Awaiting the time when these wells will flood the whole country. The people in charge of the ranch were courteous, but very reticent, and evi- dently regarded our party as on the hunt for property. - ““There 18 no stock, no interest in this company for sale at sny price,” voluu— teerad one shrewd young man. 1 lesrned, indirectly, bowever, that the Francklyn company was s New York or- ganization, ard had yielded in cish t) its projectors $480,000,” and now had mera land and csrtie than when it was firet or- ganized. The bg things in Texas s3em w be controlled by New Yorkers and foreigners. Waen the traveler strikes the boundary the train to Denver, where youget a little change, in that the conversation w dens to mines and mining proper: tiss I om justified in believing, from what I have seen and learned, that the profits from the oattle and ‘and businessia Texss and other sections are so large, aud made ia such a brief svace of years, that the eturplus capital of Barope will, within ten years, be draining into this country In such greedy volame that the value of land and cattle—the ranch organizations will be increased five-fold. In my old Kentucky hcms I know of many industrious, carsful men who have had their capital employed in tobacoc, whisky and fanoy stook for fifteen years, who are bat litile better off now thaa when they commenced, and some much worse. Half the energy and capital in veated in cattle-ralsing would have made them milifonaires. Kentucky, as a state, is well ropresented, however, in Texas, Now Mexico, Kansas and the northwest Such entorprising men as Cantrill, Fin- nell, Payne, Walker, Thompacn, Burgess, Breckinridga, the Tilfords, Johneon, Me Farran, Menifee, Bremaker, Brady, Long and others whose names I don’t recall at present, scattered all over the state, have shown theie wisdom in planting thoir surplus capital in an interest which will yleld them the most magnificent 1oturns within a fow years, Fortunate are tne men who are already placed in this great interest.

PLLES! PILKS! A SURE OURE FOUND AT LAST! NO ONE NEED SUFFER. A sure oure for Blind, Bleeding, Itchingand Ulcerated Piles has been discovered by Dr. Williams (an Indian Remedy,) called Dr. William's Indian Pile Ofntment. A single box haa cured the worst chronic cases of 25 o 30 years standiug, No_one need suffer five mimutas after applying this wonderful sooth- ing medicine, Lutions, instrumenta and elec- tuaries do more harm than good, William's Indian Pile Ointment absorbs the tumcrs, al- lnya tho intauso itching, (particularly at wight after getting warm in bed,) acts as & poultice, ives ingtant relif, and ia propared only for iles, itching of ‘the private parts, and for nothine else.

The im- aginery llve is the invirible skict be tween modern clvilizatlon and ssmi-sav- agery. Cultivation, farns, cattle, houses —all the evidences of modern progress— stop short on the wild wastes where the Iazy Indisns rosm and exerslee full con- tiol over eome of the grandest territory on this continent. No wonder Captain Payne and his wandering colonlsta fought for homestesds in this Eden. The trails los ding through 1he Indian territory from lexas to Kaoass, over which herds of cattle are driven 10 norih- ern grass snd market, are hauuted with tke several robbsr tribes of Ldlane, who, in their security from interfercnce, plan- der the cattlemen at their own sweet will, The chief of the t1ive near the Texas boi- der generally rides up with two or three score of dirty warriors as a herd crosses the line aud boldly demands as his toll “‘woh-how.” This is thewr term for cat- t'e.
