I like to be "called out," in a friendly spirit, and am glad of the opportunity to tell more fully what I mean by "scientif ic farming." I was born and bred a farmer and shall never forget the long weary years of my youth, when all the work was done by hand, and a day of labor was from sun to sun." I was very anxioa then to get away from the farm ; I sigh now and wish I had one to go back to. There is in one of Moliere's plays an amusing character who expresses great surprise on being told that he had been speaking prose for more than 40 years Mow, of course in so far as G. W. B has been successful as a farmer, there is no doubt that he has been doing "stientiflc farming" for more than 40 years. Farm ing is really successful only so far as it is scientific. The man who took $700 or $S0O from one acre of ground in farm produce must have been a scientific farm er whether he was conscious of it or not. What is science? It Is knowledge and understanding of the laws of nature. Science is based upon facts proved by ex perience. Scientific farming is the ap plication of known and verified princi ples to the cultivation and management of a farm. Let us be more particular and quote from the great Century dictionary : "2 Knowledge gained by systematic obser vation, experiment and reasoning; knowledge co-ordinated, arranged, and systematized." "4. Art derived from precepts or baaed on principles; skill re sulting from training; special, excep tional, or preeminent skill." Science is the knowledge of facts and the princi ples embodied in them ; and art is .the skill with which the principles of science are applied to produce results ; in raising potatoes or in the building of ships or in making cotton cloth. Again, from the Century dictionary : "The theory of agriculture is a science comprehending in its scope the nature and properties of soils, the different sorts of plants and seeds fitted for them, the composition and qualities of manures, and the rotation of crops, and involving a knowledge of chemistry, geology and kindred sciences. Practical agriculture, or husbandry, is an art comprehending all the labors of the field and of the farm yard, such as preparing the land for the reception of the seed or plants, sowing and planting, rearing and gathering the crops, care of fruit trees and domestic animals, disposition of products, etc." I used the words in their general sense as iucludirig everything that enters into the problem of successful agriculture: Climate, soils, fertilizing, irrigation, the use of machinery, the storage and pres ervation of crops until wanted for use, or while waiting for the demands of the market ; and even the disposition of pro- II if" a DA aa tn inenra o .nonr.n.,KU . " "UUUI iiruiio, Co-operation in buying and selling, and the making of good roads to shorten the distance to markets should be included. Science means knowledge, skill, econ omy, success and happiness. It is op posed to that which is merely traditional, heresay, haphazard, and in part at least, a failure. Science is really good com mon senFe working hand in hand with nature. You don't plant beans in a bog, nor raise corn In the shade. There are wheat lands, potato soils, grass grounds and a time and place for all that grows. It is not scientific to set apple trees and never prune, cultivate nor fertilize them and still expect fine fruit. It is little use to grow and gather a large crop of ap ples and dump them Into a bin to rot be cause they will not sell at once. Q. W. B. knows how to preserve them until they are wanted at a good price, and so far at least, he is "scientific." (This is heresay." It Is not scientific to farm work by hand so that corn and potatoes cost more than they will bring. The cost of pro duction must be reduced by the use of machinery until it will pay to raise them for market. Yes, the farmer needs lots of falth,and a love of nature, with a hearty good will to work. He must learn to toe the mark and be cheerful. Some farmers grumble loud enough to stunt the growth of, cab bage. Tramps and details can wait O. O. Wright. Mrs Andrew Falls, who dislocated her shoulder recently, Is able to be about again. Mrs Horace Barpum Is entertaining relatives from Pennsylvania. Arthur Reynolds is at home from Wil- liston seminary, Eastbampton, Mass. having been obliged to leave school on account of illness. . Mrs Tousey Piatt of Hopewell district, 1 the mother of Theron E. Piatt, is report ed quite poorly. IHB APPOISTHEST OF US BRUSH. Editor Byington of the. Norwalk Ga zette writes from Washington : Chester H. Brush, of Danbury, who will reside in this city for the next four years as fie corder of the General Land Office, was a posteffice inspector under President Har rison, and made a good record. He is between 35 and 40 years of age, and well connected with several old Connecticut families. Prof Brush of ale Is a near relative. The entire Connecticut delega tion indorsed bis application. Mr Brush takes the place which has been held un der the last administration by Lucius Q. C. Lamar, son of the late Hon L. Q. C. Lamar, formerly Secretary of the Inter ior and at the time of his death a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr Lamar was permitted at his own request to take an S1S00 clerkship under the classified service, where he wiU be no longer subject to political up heavals. Danbury News. Mr Brush Is a son-in-law of Robert A. Clark of Hawleyville. MBS MARTHA YARD STILLS0I. Martha Ward Stillson, the widow of the late William Stillson, died on Thurs day afternoon last at about 4.30 o'clock. Mrs Stillson is survived by four sons, George, Abel, John and Frank, a sister. Mrs Huldah Peck, and a brother, Mr Ward of Oxford, also survive. The funeral was attended on Sunday at 2 p.m., Rev George T. Llnsley officiating. The pall bearers were Messrs William andC. B. Johnson. Lester Oolemnn an Will Northrop. A theater party from Hawleyville, con- isting of Mr and Mrs S. A. Blackman, Mr and Mrs J. A. James, Mr and Mrs A. G. Baker, Mr and Mrs Amos Camp, Mr and Mrs F. B. Drew, Claude Blackman and George Bakjr visited Danbury, last week Wednesday night, and attended the performance of "The Sowin of the Wind," at the Danbury Opera House. Mr and Mrs S. A. Blackman and Mr and Mrs F. B. Drew were amone those who eDjoyed the turkey dinner given by Myrtle lodge, Daughter of Rebekah, in Danbury, last week Monday night. f Daniel Reardon, who had his toes cut ff at Botsford and has since been at the Bridgeport hospital, comes home occa sionally for a stay of a day or two. K Mr and Mrs F. tt Piatt welcomed a 10 pound boy to their home in Hopewell district on Monday of last week. f; Theron E. Piatt is disposing of quite a ! quantity of seed potatoes Jthus far this , spring. With 125 varieties on hand J backed up with his large experience in potato culture, farmers are pretty sure j to get the right kind of seed. Q Miss May Huff is spending a few days at Burr Hawley's ia Stepney. Mrs Susan Short of Bethel passed,Sun- ' day as a guest of her brother, John H "j Blackman. Reuben H. Smith, who has for some '. time been the editor of The Religious . Herald, has become the proprietor of the ' paper, buying out D. B. Moseley. Mr Moseley and his father, the late D. B. Moseley, have been connected with the paper for years. With the enthusiasm j and earnestness which will folllow with the new management, it is safe to say the , paper will take a prominent place among ' the religious journals of the state. Mr ' Smith's friends in this section will cor dially wish him success in the undertak ing. fV Lawrence Mitchell Is a happy father, a 12-pound boy having arrived in his home on Thursday last. m Mrs William Falrchild of Taunton dis trict has been suffering with a. severe cold, but is better. Dwight Sharp of Monroe has taken a position with John B. Blackman, New town's well known marketman. Master Charles Jonas passed Sunday with his father at Torrington.
