We had the opportunity of watching the progress of an agricultural college in India. We heard its splendid founder (an Englishman) called a mad man" because he dared to plough the ground deeply and release the " bots" (spirits) to tortureeman for disturbing them. Waving wheat and golden corn was the result of the deep ploughing, and it made an_ impression. The ery of "mad man" became less shrill When later the unwieldly buffalo was lured into capri and a dairy established, student began to find their way to the college. When sanitary equipment and scientific feeding necessary to clean milk reduced typhoid and like diseases in the community to a minimum, the cry of "mad man" had ceased entirely, and over 200 students were enrolled. In fact the enrolment only ceased with the lack of accommodation. This lack has since been dealt with and many students have been added to the list.
Two months ago The Liberty Dairy Farm Ca., Ld., was started here in Shanghai by Mr. T. M. Vu. a graduate of Cornell Univerity. Whatever may be said about other subjects taught at Cornelt University, we are not prepared to judge, but we know that the agricultural subjects considered at this university are as thorough as any in America.
