bring $1.00 per cwt for every 10 cents upon a
bushel of corn, or it will not pay. Ithinkour
plan of working the roads is a swindle. The
roads should be well drained before they are
scraped up, and culverts put in when necessary. We will always have bad roads under the
present plan. The road that was once the
worst in this neighborhood, was the best this
last winter; cause, a tile ditch upon both sides,
for a distance, with good outlet.

Johnson Co., May 28th.
Bocklake, Johnson Co., May 2L—Fruit is
all right, and no danger of more frost. Wheat
has generally got the rnst, the smooth-headed
more than the bearded. There are some few
pieces of rye in this section which are not
damaged by rust or fly. It i<! free from all
calamities that befall the wheat crop. It seems
that it does not pay to cultivate wheat in this
county any more. For the last ten years the
wheat crop has not averaged over seven bushels per acre in Central Indiana. Corn is almost a sure crop; and, with good farmers,
generally averages 40 bushels per acre; sometimes, bb high as 80 or SO bushels. Of course,
we must have a rotation of crops, but it can be
done without sowing wheat. There is a small
acreage of oats sown here, bnt a very large
crop of corn is planted. Hogs are plenty. Cattle plenty and cheap. No sale for the animal
that the evil spirit went into. Money scarce.
Politics a variety, but the majority are Nationals.   We all like the Inwaha Fabmeb.

C~ i_ivas Co.. May 25.—There-are a great
y complaints in old Sullivan just now.
It —lina too much in these parts to suit the
fanners. It rains a heap of little rains, and a
great many big 'ans. But, then, people have
complained at Providence, and His ways, ever
since "puss was a cat." Most com planted.
Some can't plant on wet land. It is wonderfal
wet and miry in the fields. All wheat has the
rust; some is badly damaged, especially wheat
that was sown on com land. It is stunted
and can't make near a half crop. There is bnt
little fly. Oats never looked better. Apples,
about half a crop. Peaches will be a double
crop. Too many on the trees; will all break
down if not propped or knocked off. Plenty
of blackberries. People in this country raise
their own blackberries (mostly in the fence
corners). Other small frnit very scarce. There
is a general lamentation about hard times and
scarcity, of money. Truly, times are hard,
and the farmers are beginning to learn the
canse. The people's money is gone (the greenbacks). We want the national banks done
away with, and greenbacks substituted in
the place of their notes or bonds. Wheat is
worth $1.00; com, 25 cents; hogs, $2.50 @ 2.75.

prospects as follows: Wheat, some injured

and thin, poor land. Oats and flax are doing
well, for a few days piat. Com is rather backward. Early potatoes were badly used up by
the freeze. Hogs scaroe; no cholera. But few

For the Indiana Farmer.
OTJB AGRICULTUBAL COLLEGE.
I am glad to see the attention articles
on this subject attract, and hope that
some benefit may arise from the discussion. In whatever I may say in reference
to the management of Purdue University,
I want it distinctly understood that I mean
nothing personal against either the Trustees or Faculty. I know many of- them
personally, and appreciate them as worthy gentlemen in many respects. It is in
their official capacity that I offer criticism
upon them, and call them in question.
It is not their capacity in other matters,
but in this. It is not their intentions, for
I believe them well-meaning. I am dealing with them simply as managers of Purdue University, or the Indiana State
Agricultural College, in which I consider
they are greatly at fault, and the suggestions I offer are given with the best
motives and for the welfare of the cause
of progressive agriculture. It is very evident that some of your correspondents
however are not farmers, at least not
"practical farmers," or they would not
assume positions they have. "Agriculture," in particular, as he signs himself,
does not impress me as being very practical.
He first assumes a false premise, and
argues upon that, and hence has a false
conclusion. The statement that "experimental farming has been tried by more
than one agricultural college and found
to be a failure," is untrue in fact. There
is no institution of the kind carried on
but which is
ONB GRAND EXPERIMENT,
as a whole, and, in particular. I may say
further, there are but few farms conducted by men of ordinary intelligence
but are experimental. My assumption
that experiments should be made in every detail and without regard to cost,
does not necessarily make it the most expensive plan that inexperienced minds
could concoct, or impractical hands carry
out, but that a grain of common business
sense should be mingled along with it,
and it is needless to say I should not call
upon "Agriculture" as one ofthe instruments. It would be a dangeroua experiment to make an experimental school of
the one we now have; they would squander the means and capital Uie State might
place before them if such was attempted.
It is being managed in the best way with
the men in charge, on as economical and
narrow-minded plan as possible. I speak
of what it should be in other hands.
To assume that experimental farming
is separable from
PRACTICAL FARMING
and good business principles, in the sense
it should be used either on a good form,
or at an agricultural college, is simply
assuming true that which is not. I will
elaborate my position and show it clearly
I think. For instance, I read but two or
three weeks ago, in the Country Gentleman, that one of the professors at Michigan Agricultural College had experimented on ditching a hill in the orchard,
and he actually told us what kind of a
ditch he made, what the effect was on the
bearing of the trees located thereon, and
how much fruit these trees had borne
before.the ditch was cut and tiling put
in, and how much better they did afterwards. He also told ofthe difficulties of
the tiling, getting clogged with roots,
This was an experiment and yet practical farming, and I think many farmers
would be glad to have tbeir sons taught
in this way.
Again, I read several months since of
a lot of steers having been fed by the Illinois Agricultural University, and they
gave  tabulated statements  of  various
methods, results, etc.   They told us of
one class of steers of certain ages, that
were put in loose box stalls; others of
same class were tied by halter; others ran
under shed at will; others had no shelter,
but ran in a dry lot, and  all of these
were   fed   grain;   some   of    the   feed
was cooked, other ground; others fed with
little or no  preparation.   These steers
were weighed at stated times; the esti
mated cost for attention was given, and
all ofthe details which made an interesting feature, and not only were there conclusions drawn, but the subject matter
was in such shape that any reader could
draw his own conclusions.  I would have
not only these things, as a mere sample,
tried, but Twould have them drill corn;
check-row some, and I would have it
stated upon what kind of ground, whether
clay, bottom or otherwise; I would have
the ground measured, the corn weighed
at  harvesting, the estimated  or actual
cost; the results if a ditch had been put
through a field, and its cost; manner of
putting in, etc., etc.   I would take the
meadows, the wheat fields and potato
patches the same way.   I would have
Swedish turnips, beets, etc., raised for
stock feeding; I would know their cost
and practical use.
One agricultural college in the East
takes great care to buy some of each
kind of fertilizer that is put upon the
market, and experiments are made from
it, as to ita utility. Much of these so-
called fertilizers are not what they pretend to be, and some are useful only in
certain ways and under certain conditions. Many are worthless. These facts
are brought out by practical men belonging to the university. They are first experimented upon,—facts developed and
then published to the world.—and yet
"Agriculture" tells na that "all institutions that have tried experiments have
failed."
-»s___nc otlture.
I would have an eye to the aesthetic
taste as well, and would teach the students that a climbing vine, that costs fifteen or twenty centa, could be planted
against the side of the old unpainted
walls of our almost worn out farm-house
and make it look cozy and charming. I
would teach these young men and
women some of the practical duties of
keeping a few trees ,and the harrow in
order. A front yard but a few feet square
can be beautified, in a very short time,
so that it will be attractive and yet be
simple, neat and inexpensive. To say
that farmers need none of these things
ia to say that we are a set of brutes,
neither fond of a charming country
home, nor capable of enjoying one. To
say that we should never experiment,
either at college or at home, is to say we
should never measure a field, nor keep
account of the grain or grats taken from
it. We should never, on the same principle, weigh the butter we make from one
cow, nor the amcunt we take to town in
a week. It is to say we should never
know what cur implements cost; what
our labor hire in; how many horses we
feed, nor should we know what we are
doing in any way. AU should be done
by guess. Our great-grandfathers did
things this and that way, and so should
we. I have endeavored to explain what
I meant by "experimental institution,"
and I will further say, I would not
have a lick of work struck upon that
farm, about the barns, in the lawn, or
the buildings, but the strictest account
should be kept of it, and in such a way
that an intelligent showing could be made
of it to satisfy any ordinary inquiry.   If
AGEICULTUBAL COLLEGES
are not for this purpose I should like to
know what they are for. We do not send
our boys there simply to learn to plow,
as they can learn that at home in a more
inexpensive way, and, I presume, to do it
better than the material we have there
to teach them; but we want to send them
there to learn that which they cannot
learn conveniently, or perhaps not at all,
at home.   Nor do we send them there to
study Latin, and Greek, and mathematics, chemistry, international law, or Butler's Analogy, without reference to some
practical evidences it may have towards
their future profession.   I assert that ex-
p eriments should be made but I say they
should be conducted with some end in
view.    The mere fact that a professor
can make an experiment does not empower him to do that which is ludicrously useless and extravagant.   He should
however    experiment   whenever    and
wherever he could and no duty should
be begun without systematizing and experimenting upon  it.   To  ascertain, if
possible, the best and cheapest way it
can be done "regardless of expense;" and
above all, in what they do learn we want
them to be proficient and experts.   If it
costs a little more money to make them
so, spend it, but that does not license
useless  extravagance either   there   or
elsewhere.
Instead of having the placard put up
that "Agriculture" suggests, I think he
had better have thia one erected in the
field where he and his would-be students
hoe corn:—
" We are too wise to Ieam anything.
We know it all now.
We never try experiments."
I wish to touch upon another matter
on this same subject.
The point is well taken, by another
correspondent, that the State University
at Bloomirigton is eminently professional
in its bearing. I know from having attended there that the influence of that
school tends to law principally and the
professions generally. There are few
farmers or business men turned away
from there. The curriculum ia shaped
to that end and the very_ atmosphere ia
full of it. I can take their catalogue and
look over it and the list of Alumni shows
the statement true. I have seen plenty
of plain farmer boys go there to get an
education on general principles without
regard to future profession, and in the
end become lawyers. Generally those
who go there have the profession of law
in view; hence, the place is not fit, nor ia
their course of study suitable to send our
farmer boys to for the purpose of getting
an agricultural education.
Another point. Your editorial on this
subject, some weeks ago, said'that Mr.
Purdue had expended a large amount of
money for the institution, and the city of
Lafayette and the county of Tippecanoe
had done likewise, and that the Trustees
and Faculty felt under obligations to defer to local opinion and influences to a
large extent. I am surprised that such
should be the case and hope you may be
mistaken.    Because they  nave given
Mr. Purdue had a worthy pride in com-
memorati-g his name. We should expect as well that our members of Congress go to Washington and legislate
in the Interest of that locality in opposition to western matters as well as the
people of Lafayette and its surroundings
could expect to control the State Agricultural University.
I rather like the plan that Bev. T. A.
Goodwin proposea m refeience to sending
out professors to organize the farmere.
It would be a good thing to connect with
the agricultural college and I hope if it is
not already required by law that the Legislature will pass an enactment to that
effect. This is the same plan adopted
and in practice for yeara by the Bloomington Univeisity, whose professors are
required to lecture on educational subjects throughout the State annually. I
would not have these lectures and local
organizations take Uie place however of
the college any more in one than in the
other. They should be conducted together, and I think much gcod would be
accomplished. * H.

NOT A LOCAL AFFAIR.
I look upon the college not aa a local
affair but one above all others that is in
the interest of the entire State. We
should expect them to give $50,000, or
even more, for the erection ofa machine
shop in their midst, and dictate to the
proprietors how it should run, aa much
as we should expect them to ask or expect to have the college run locally. They
paid their money as an investment, expecting to get it back from the thousand,
of dollars the students annually spend in
their midst. Suppose 150 students attend school each year and each one
Bpends $100. That's the way the people
of Lafayette figured. On the other hand,
and we are reliably informed has given universal satisfaction. It waa invented by a
practical fanner, of Tippecanoe oounty, Ind.,
Mr. C. H. Kirkpatrick, and manufactured by
him at Lafayette, Ind., until the £01 of 1876,
when his health failed him, and he sold out
to J. O. Wingate and Zach. Mahomey, styled
now under the firm name of J. O. Wingate t.
Co., who have recently removed the business
from Lafayette to Crawfordsville, Ind., where
they have greatly increased their facilities for
manufacturing, and we are glad to ieam are
meeting with good success. Mr. Mahomey is
widely known as one of the most extensive
hardware and implement dealers in Indiana,
and Mr. Wingate was in the employ of Mr.
Kirkpabick from the time he began manufacturing the Carrier, and is as familiar with
all branches of the business as was the inventor himself. This Carrier is rapidly going into
general nse all over the West, and is giving.
great satisfaction wherever used. We bespeak
the patronage of our readers tor the new firm.
