BOOK LEARNING It takes long time, accompanied by great loss, to get rid of an inherited pre judice, after the conditions in which it had its origin have passed away, One oi such lingering handicaps on the progress of agriculture in our day is a prejudict among too many of our fanners agains. book learnintr. It is a compliment to the good sense and patriotism of our grand fathers and mothers that they took up t deep prejudice against the stuff presentee to them by the first English and American writers on agriculture. These writers, at 1 rule, took the Roman and Greek writers is their models for siyle and their des criptions of farm life as. their ideals whicl they sought, perhaps - unconcisusly, it revive in America. Cato, surnamed "thi arise", the first and most celebrated 3oman writer on agriculture, and th, model our early writers followed, held U Tor his Ideal and example a large farm ot several thousand acres worked by slaves! Like all educated Romans and Greeks h. held the small farm in supreme contempt i useless and undesirable part of th, population that the state would be wel rid of, with the home life of the farmei as we mean by that term', he had nelthei care nor sympathy. The purpose of hi: jook was to show the large landowners patritians, successful generals, politician! and merchants how to manage then large land holdings so as to support theii owners in grand style in marble palace? m the cities. It was both proper am natural for the American farmer to resent the odor of contempt for himself anc family that 'eminated from suoh a boot or a craven imitation thereof and hi threw it down with manful disdain. If hi curbed his Ire and looked into it he fount little or nothing that told him how U make his little farm produce enough fa provide a comfortable home for self and family and educate his children. When the Roman wanted to enlarge his crop. he purchased more slaves, prisoners of war or unlucky creditors and put them tc work with such farm implements as slaves had toiled with for thousands ol years. . To lessen the wear of human musclt entered not into the designs of the early agricultural writers. Apian for mort comfortable homes, better clothing, food and education of farmers entered not into the conception of the followers 0! Cato. It was not untill 1806 that the first agricultural school for farmers and their sons was established in SwiUerland. Since then a great change has been wrought in farming and agricultural edu cation and the old Roman and Middle Age ideals of a farm have changed. The modern American ideal of what a farm should be is a place whereon a comfortable home for free men and wom en can be maintained, an abundance of food and clothing for all be provided and the children educated. To assist in keep ing up and increasing this kind of farms agricultural colleges are kept up by states. The best thinkers of the age are engaged in collecting all the known facts that assist the farmers in making their fields produce more abundantly with the least possible wear of human muscle. To accomplish this the young farmers are taught not only how plants grow, what elements of earth and sky they remiir. but the laws of mechanical motion are illustrated so that farm machinery can be and is used more and to better advantage tnan ever before .In the history of the world. All this knowledge can now'be found in the books and because of the helpfullness and usefulness of these books to modern farmers the prejudice against book learning is fast falling away.
