FLINT, Charles Louis, born in Middleton, Massachusetts, 8 May 1824. His ancestors were among the early settlers of Salem. He was brought up on his father's farm, and obtained a collegiate education through his own exertions, graduating at Phillips Andover academy in 1845, and at Harvard in 1849. He studied law, but, having acquired some distinction by his contributions to agricultural journals, was appointed secretary of the Massachusetts board of agriculture, which office he held from 1853 till 1881. He was one of the original organizers of the Massachusetts agricultural College at Amherst, was its secretary for nearly twenty years, and for one year served as president. In addition to fulfill and valuable annual reports, he has published "The A agriculture of Massachusetts" (3 vols., Boston, 1853'4); "Treatise on Grass and Forage Plants" (New York, 1857); "Milch Cows and Dairy Farming" (Boston, 1859); a new edition of Harris's "insects Injurious to Vegetation "; and, with George B.
