# Some facts concerning the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University. Presented to a hearing of legislative committees. Albany, April 5, 1910/Comparisons with other Colleges of Agriculture

II. COMPARISONS WITH OTHER COLLEGES OF AGRICULTURE
The buildings of the College of Agriculture devoted to purposes of instruction, for laboratories, class rooms and offices, cost the State for construction and equipment $340,000, and furnish 120,662 feet of floor space. With the present attendance of 968 students, this gives a floor space per student of 125 sq. feet. This is much less floor space per student than is provided in any of the other State Colleges of Agriculture that rank with the New York State College. As an illustration of the space per student furnished in other State Colleges, the following may be given, computed from statements given to the writer on a recent visit to these colleges : Wisconsin, 208 sq. ft. ; Illinois, 305 sq. ft.; Minnesota, 223 sq. ft.; Iowa, 350 sq. ft.
The cost of the agricultural buildings and barns in all of the institutions mentioned in the preceding paragraph exceeds the cost of those of the New York State College of Agriculture.
In the New York State College of Agriculture the number of regular long-course students and post-graduate students exceeds considerably that of any of the above institutions, except Illinois, which has only a slightly less number than New York. The higher grades of students would naturally be expected to require more space for their work than the lower grades.
The faculty of the New York State College of Agriculture, now numbering 83 professors, instructors and assistants of all grades, exclusive of student assistants, stenographers and workmen, is larger than that of any other institution.
The Empire State should give more liberal support in the development of its State College of Agriculture. Other Colleges of Agriculture are forging ahead, and if New York is to keep pace with the institutions in other states, and if it is to meet its own need for agricultural education, greatly increased facilities will have to be provided for the College of Agriculture, particularly in buildings for laboratory, class room, and experimental work.

# Some facts concerning the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University. Presented to a hearing of legislative committees. Albany, April 5, 1910/Control of the College of Agriculture

III. ORGANIZATION OF THE NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
Cornell University is founded on the Congressional Land Grant Act of 1862, and agriculture, therefore, has been a part of its work from the beginning. In the early days of the University, the agricultural teaching was given in a Department of Agriculture. In 1896 the University was divided into eight colleges, of which the College of Agriculture was one. By act of the legislature, Chapter 655 of the Laws of 1904, approved by Governor Odell, May 9, 1904, the College of Agriculture was established as a State Institution under the title of "The New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University." This act carried an appropriation of $250,000 for buildings. An Administration Act became a law by the signature of Governor Higgins April 12, 1906, and that year the Appropriation Act carried a maintenance item of $100,000 for the College of Agriculture.
# Some account of Triplosporite, an undescribed fossil fruit

"Some account of Triplosporite, an undescribed fossil fruit" is a paper by Robert Brown, read before the Linnean Society on June 15th, 1847, and first published in 1851 in the Transactions of the Linnean Society.

# St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 2/Nature and Science/Come to Life

Seems to “Come to Life.”
On page 750 of Nature and Science for June, 1904, was explained an apparent quick “growth” of a Spanish onion, due to internal pressure. On page 1036 of Nature and Science for September, 1904, was an observation of movements of dead branches due to varying temperature and moisture.
These remind one of the interesting opening and shutting of the skeleton portions of a plant found in the deserts of Egypt and Palestine. After the death of this plant the softer parts disappear, leaving a hard framework. These dead branches, somewhat resembling the leaves of some evergreen trees, curve inward in the dry season, protecting the still living seeds in the center. The whole plant has but slight attachment to the sandy soil, and is often torn up by the wind and rolled away. In the wet seasons the branches absorb the moisture to a large extent, unfold, resume the direction they had in life, and thus let the “The dead branches curve inward.” seeds out at a time when the sand is wet and the seeds will grow most readily. This motion is not a matter of the growth of life, but is purely mechanical. The plant is frequent carried off by visitors, and is sold by venders and at certain stores as a curiosity. If it is immersed in water, the opening of the branches gives one the impression that it has “come to life,” hence the popular name of “Resurrection Flower of Jericho,” “Rose of Jericho,” and other names.
“The branches opening after the plant has been immersed in water.” The fact that the dead branches hold the living seeds in dry weather, and open to let them out in wet, is truly wonderful. But some dealers are not content with the actual facts. One circular pictures the plant “before wetting” as small and bud-shaped. “After wetting” it is pictured as filling a dinner-plate with luxuriant foliage, and stems extending upward, bearing clusters of beautiful blossoms!
This dealer also states falsely that vermin and mosquitos will not stay where the plant is.
# St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 2/Nature and Science/December

In Praise of December
Some of us grown-up folks, perhaps, have got in the habit of thinking of December more as the last month of the year than as the first month of one of the most joyous of seasons. It is strange that one should ever think of December—the holiday month—as dull and lacking of interests. There have been poets and writers without number who have praised the various months of spring, summer, and autumn, and indeed of winter as a whole, but few have had good words for December. Burroughs writes, “Is there anything like a perfect April morning?” and Lowell inquires, “What is so rare as a day in June?”
Jefferies, a famous English naturalist has written well and at some length in praise of summer. Dr. Abbott has much to say in praise of autumn and claims that “October is as lovable as May.” But I do not recall any of the older naturalists who have praised December. The most of them make but little, if any, mention of it.
​Then, too, there is no end of nature’s attractions. It is not a leafless month. Some leaves, it is true, have ripened and fallen, hut there are plenty on the trees we call evergreen, and on the ground-pine; the fronds of some varieties of ferns also are richly green. In spite of the prospect that snow will soon cover the ground in our northern states, there is plenty of animal life—various birds, four-footed animals, and even insects on the sunlit stretches of the snow. To one in thorough sympathy with nature the December fields and forests are neither dull nor uninteresting, but it takes the young folks to find life and interests out of doors. The older folks regard December as the end of another year, the young folks as the beginning of untold joys.
# St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 2/Nature and Science/The Spider

The spider without a snare.
Whenever we think of spiders we think of webs, large wheel-like stretches or bulky masses or dainty gossamers spread on the grass or in fence-corners. If the spider did not build its snare, how would it get its dinner? Spiders, like boys and girls, are generally anxious about dinner. Spiders are always on the lookout for a hearty meal, and as this means something to eat almost or quite as big as themselves, with somewhat epicurean tastes into the bargain, they must be ever seeking food. The snare-weavers follow best the good, poetic precept,
Seeking a Dinner.
A little jumping-spider, with nest in honey suckle-vine, sneaking on a fly. In this case the fly flew as the spider jumped, and it is doubtful if the little Attus could have held the Musca even if the latter had been fairly caught. Smaller flies, tree-hoppers, larvæ of small moths, gnats, midges, and the like are the common prey of this spider. Sometimes ie attacks insects larger than itself, but is seldom successful with big active flies.
On the sunny side of this tree-trunk, on the old barn door, among the pine-needles, in the crannies of the stone wall, under the projecting end of the wooden steps, amid the evergreen honeysuckle on the south porch, in almost any half-sheltered, half-sunny spot, we shall have no trouble finding the little black jumping-spider Attus, that scientists have recently renamed Phidippus Tripunctatus, though the three spots to which the specific name refers are generally increased to five or more. This is the little tiger of the spider fraternity. So common and so active and so hungry is it that its list of victims grows very long indeed, even in its short lifetime, and generally they are of a kind that makes the little tiger a great and worthy friend of man.
A little black and spotted jumping-spider on guard.
He is between two honey suckle-leaves, Several of the eight bright eyes of the spider are looking at the intruder. The nest contains eggs.
The little black and spotted jumping-spider (Attus) and his nest under the latch of an old disused barn door
The nest in the hole from which the life had been taken was the one in which the spider found shelter, and when a straw was poked in on the other side the small occupant backed out this side, always, as is their habit, keeping its front eyes on the intruder. The nest in the chink between the door and the wall contained a batch of the spider‘s eggs.

Jumping-spiders attract our attention by their short stout legs, bright colors, big eyes. and quick movements.—E. F. B.

In the years between 1904 and now, asbestos has been determined to be hazardous and cause sickness.
A Block of Asbestos.
(On the right and left of this block are shown masses of the cottony form into which the crude asbestos is broken.)
A Fireproofing Mineral.
You have probably heard the word “asbestos” used in connection with theater curtains, and with methods of rendering a theater or other building fire-proof. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that cannot be burned. Chemically, it is a silicate of lime and magnesium. When torn to pieces in a machine made for that purpose, it looks like a mass of cotton, and these fibers can be spun into threads or strings, and then woven into fabrics useful for various purposes. The Welsbach mantles of our gaslights are tied to a supporting wire by a piece of asbestos string.
It is stated that the ancient Greeks made wicks of the fibers and used them in the sacred fires in their temples. It is also claimed that napkins were made of this material, so that they might cleaned be by fire.
The fibers of asbestos have a silky luster, and in color are while, gray, green, or a green-gray.
Various articles manufactured from asbestos.

# Swahili Tales/The Cheat and the Porter

Swahili text: Mtu ayari na hamali

THE CHEAT AND THE PORTER.
There was a man, a cheat, who used to go and buy things, and when he had bought them he did not give those who took them up their hire.
One day he bought a box of glasses, and he sought for a man to carry them for him; and he got a porter and said to him, "Choose either one of two things, to give you your hire, or I will give you three words that will be of service to you in the world." And he said, "I get pice every day. I will carry it for those three words that you shall tell me."
And he carried the box. And when he had got a third of the way, he said, "Master, this box is heavy, it is too much for me; give me one word, that I may get spirit to go on."
And he said, "If any one tells you that slavery is better than freedom, don't believe him."
And he looked hard at him, and knew that "The owner of this box is a cheat, but I had better wait till I get there." And they went, and when they had got another third, he said to him, "Tell me the second word."
And he said, "If any one tells you that poverty is better than riches, don't believe him."
​And they went on, till when they reached the house he said to him, "Master, tell me the third word." And he said, "Put it down." And he said, "I am exceedingly pleased with the two words you have told me; tell me the third, that I may get to set it down."
And he said, "If any one tells you that hunger is better than fulness, don't believe him."
And he said, "Out of the way, master, that I may set it down." And he lifted it above his head and let it fall. And the owner said, "Ah! ah! you have broken my box for me."
And he said, "If any one tells you that there is one glass left in this box that is not broken, don't you believe him."

PROVERBS.
Hurrying, hurrying, has no blessing.
The tongue has no bone.
The destroyer of the country is a child of the country; a stranger does not weigh two hundred-weight.
A new thing is good, though it be a sore place.
Running on a roof ends at the edge of it.
Is not poor work good play?
Wonder not, children of men, at the things that are in this world.
If the Pleiades rise in sun, they set in rain; if they rise in rain, they set in sun.
If a dish is covered, what is in it is hidden.
There is no grief without a companion.
Who will dance to a lion's roaring? ​Patience is the key of consolation.
Continually, continually, the cord cuts the stone.
When two elephants struggle it is the grass that suffers.
Use your clay while it is wet.
He that is drunk with wine gets sober, he that is drunk with wealth does not.
What bites is in your own clothes.
Loud lamentations are not becoming in mourning.
A sand-fly can get through anything.
He has fallen into a well.
# Songs of the Workers (15th edition)/I. W. W. Prison Song

I. W. W. PRISON SONG (Tune: "The Red Flag") By Ralph Chaplin
The pale and dismal daylight falls Through iron bars on prison walls. In chains we came from far and near, And in dark cells they hold us here.
CHORUS
Defiant 'neath the Iron Heel; Their walls of stone and bars of steel! For though all hell at us is hurled, We and our kind shall rule the world!
At us the blood-hounds are let loose, The lynch-mobs with the knotted noose; In legal sanctioned mask and gown The new Black Hundreds hut us down.
To all brave comrades o'er the sea, In chains for human liberty, And all jailed rebels everywhere We say: be bold to do and dare!
By all the graves of Labor's dead, By Labor's deathless flag of red, We make a solemn vow to you,— We'll keep the faith; we will be true.
For Freedom laughs at prison bars Her voice re-echoes from the stars; Proclaiming with the tempest's breath A Cause beyond the reach of death!

EVERYBODY'S JOINING IT! By Joe Hill (Air: "Everybody's Doing It")
Fellow workers,can't you hear, There is something in the air. Everywhere you walk, everybody talk 'Bout the I. W. W. They have got a way to strike That the master doesn't like— Everybody stick, that's the only trick, All are joining it now.
CHORUS
Everybody's joining it! Joining what? Joining It! Everybody's joining it! Joining what? Joining It! One Big Union: that's the worker's choice, One Big Union; that's the only noise, One Big Union; shout with all your voice; Make a noise, make a noise, make a noise, boys, Everybody's joining it! Joining what? Joining It! Everybody's joining it! Joining what? Joining It! Joining in this union grand, Boys and girls in every land; All the workers hand in hand— Everybody's joining it now.
Th' Boss is feeling mighty blue, He don't know just what to do. We have got his goat, got him by the throat, Soon he'll work or go starving, Join the I. W. W., Don't let bosses trouble you, Come and join with us—everybody does— You've got nothing to lose.
Will the One Big Union grow? Mister Bonehead wants to know. Well! What do you think, of that funny gink Asking such foolish questions? Will it grow? Look a here, Brand new unions everywhere, Better take a hunch, join the fighting bunch, Fight for Freedom and Right.

This afternoon, I met with our Ambassador to Iraq, the commander in Iraq, and the overall theater commander in the region in order to get a full update on the situation in Iraq. Key members of my cabinet and senior national security officials also participated in this meeting.
The meeting was productive and I very much appreciated receiving assessments from these experienced and dedicated individuals. During the discussion, I asked the military leadership to engage in additional planning necessary to execute a responsible military drawdown from Iraq.
In the coming days and weeks, I will also visit the Department of Defense to consult with the Joint Chiefs on these issues, and we will undertake a full review of the situation in Afghanistan in order to develop a comprehensive policy for the entire region.
