the Opinion of others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics of the Day.
I n k Caicasiam has -made too
effort for a Clinton park. One
was met with indifferenco, the
other with strong opposition.
We arc glad to see that our es
teemed coiomporary, the Wil
mington Sta", is also cranky on
this point. It says :
"There in one thing that our
.Vwitli Carolina eities seem to be
Insintr i'ht of in the march of pro
(ius. ainl that is public parks.
Cli.ii lutte, we believe, lias taken
-nine t h in this direction, and
KaW ili hits done something, but
with these exceptions we do not
know of a city or town in the State
where there has been any movement
,(r this kind. The longer the selec
tion of sites for parks Is deferred
the more difficult it will be to select
eligible ones in growing cities, and
the higher the cost of the land,
w hirh enhances in value as the cities
expand, making very difficult and
rosily years hence an undertaking
which might le cheaply and easily
accomplished now. In every city
or town that has any future before it
provision should be made for one or
more parks, and they will be found
to be in the future among the beet
investments ever made by city or
town."
The Star overlooks the Eccles
I'.irk, of Fiiyetteville, and the
l'nriott Park, of Kinston. liut
to come back to the main issue,
shall we not have a park in
Clinton? A park cannot be
made in a day. If We commence
now it will be years before it
amounts to much.
Catalogue of the N. C- College of Ag
riculture and Mechanic Arts.
The College is manned by a
faculty of ieven professors, as
follows : A. Q. I loll id ay, Presi
dent; J. R. Chamberland, Pro
fessor of Agriculture, Live Stock
and Dairying; W. F. Massey, Pro
fessor of Horticulture, Arborcul
ture and Botany; W. A. Withers,
Professor of Pure and Agricul
tural Chemistry; D. H. Hill,
Professor of English and Book
Kceping; J. H. Kinealy, Profes
sor of Practical Mechanics and
Mathmatics; , Assistant
Professor of Practical Mechan
ics, with 15. S. Skinner, Superin
tendent of Farms and Gardens;
J. N. Hubbard, Stewart; Mrs.
Sue C. Carroll, Matron.
Tho first steps towards this
College were taken by the Wa
tauga Club, of Raleigh, in 1885i
when it memorialized the Leg
islature and secured the pas
sage ot a bill to establish an In
dustrial School. This action
was followed by two large mass-
meetings of farmers in Raleigh
during the month of January,
1SS7, who secured the passage
of an act, March 7th, 1889,
amending the above act to es
tablish a College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. It provides
that the College shall be gov
erned by a Board of Trustees)
consisting of a Board of Agri
culture and nve other persons
appointed by the Governor. The
Governor appointed W.S. Prim
rose, S. B. Alexander, Henry E.
Fries, N. B. Brough tort and Elias
Carr. On July 12th, 1882, Con
gress passed a bill entitled "An
act donating public lands to the
several States and Territories
which may provide Colleges for
the benefit of agriculture and
the mechanic arts' North Car
olina s share under this act is
$125,000, the interest on which
at b per csut., is 7,000 per an
num. This amount, which has
been going to the University,
was converted to the College
togother with about $15,000 o
the tax on fertilizers, and it is
on this fund that the institution
will be run.
A general idea of the objects
and aims of the College can be
gotten 11 om the following ex
tracts, which we make from the
catalogue :
"One of the creat objects of the
College is to foster a higher appreci
ation of the value and dignity of in
telliirent labor, and the worth and
rcfipectai ility of laboring men,
Iwy who sees nothing" In manual la
bor but mere brute force despises

self, comes the ability and willing,
iiess to recognize skill in his fellows.
v hen once he appreciates skill in
handicraft, he regards the workman
with sympathy and respect.
"There is no conflict between the
practical education which will be
given by the Agricultural and Me
chanical College and the established
collegen aud the University of the
State. Taking onr College as one
department of learning and the
above named, institutions as another,
their spheres are widely different,
and thoy should be of practical ben
efit each to the other and both to the
commonwealth.
'Brains, skill and pluck are need
ed to develop these interests, and
the College proposes to do its full
part in the education of the youth of
the State as far as it can reach them,
In these all important factors.
To make agriculture profitable is
one of the great problems of the age.
With its collateral pursuits it not
only has been, but always will be,
the most important industrial calling
of mankind.
'The College is intended, not to
produeetheorists,but practical young
men, who will become intelligent
farmers, horticulturist, cattle and
stock raisers, dairymen men who
will be interested in their work, and
who will make their work profita
ble "
The building is 60x170 feet,
three stories high, situated f of
a mile west from Raleigh, upon
62 acres of land, donated by R.
S. Pullen. The cost per year to
county students is $100 and to
others $130. First term opens
October 3rd.

3rSo many agricultural pa

one for Sampson. It states that
Rep. W. E. Stevens, of Clinton,
is raising Jersey cattle, Merino

are certainly other farmers in

You can raise your own bacon
cheaper than to buy it at any
price. Instead of using so much
corn, we should feed them on
vegetables. Such as turnips,
beets, potatoes, squashes, pump
kins, cabbages, collards, which
should be boiled. No one has
any idea the amount of pork
that dan be raised on an acre in
vegetables, who has not tried

Those who do not wiah to bny

per hundred would do well to
heed tl e advice of Commission
er John Koninsonasgiveu in the
last issue of the North Carolina
Bulletin of Agriculture. We
give an extract: .
"Every farmer should recog
nize the fact that forage for next
year will be unusually scaxce,
owing to the great destruction
of hay by excessive rains during
the past two month.. It is very
probable that the scarcity of
long forage for the year 1890,
will be greater than has been
experienced for several years
By beginning in time, and sow
ing clover and rye upon well
manured lands, xarmers may
correct this shortness to a con
slderable extent Both clover
and rye should be sown in Sep
tember, to insure a remunerative
crop from fall sowing."
If you have not enough fod
der on hand to carry your stock
through ' the winter, make pre
parations for putting your corn
fodder up in good shape. Why
not save all the latter anyway ?
Yon could sell some of your hay;
you know, to good advantage if
you should find you have more
than yon will need lor your
stock. American Farmer.
Don't sell your hay. Keep
0
more stoat and . raise more
home-made manure.
