FARMERS’ CLUB

L.L.D. Agriculturists - It seems that some of our Eastern professors — those who occupy high places in colleges and other institutions with an L.L.D. or an A.S.S. attached to their names — have all of a sudden discovered something noble and elevating in the study of agriculture. They are filling the rural journals with articles, and they treat their subjects with as much knowledge as a cat has of a steamboat. In a very recent publication we find an article on potatoes. Thoroin the Professor states that they should be soaked at least 24 hours before planting. We advise the Professor to place his head in, soak at least that length of time before he undertakes to write on such a subject again.
