AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.

1t should need no argument to prove
that an agricultural school-even as a de-
partment of Il great university-shorld
teach agriculture, and in that broad term
we include livestock husbandry, as there
can be no continued successful tillage of
the soil without maintenance of fertility,
which is best supplied by a wisely regu
lated system of stock-growing. And yet
there is not a little well-grounded COM
plant that at some of our agricultural
schools the scientific specialist has large
ly usurped the place of the teacher of
practical agriculture, and there has also
been disposition manifested in some in
stances to make the school of agriculture
rebound, even to the extent of its finances,
to the glory of the colleges of liberal arts
and sciences. 1t is needless to remark
that this is not what it should be, and it
is not what it will be if the farmer once
wakes up to the situation. Most of these
State institutions are susceptible to po-
litical influence, and it is quite within the
limits of possibility that the agricultural
element may be compelled in time to take
hand-and large hand, too-in the
regulation and conduct of their affairs.
If a proper appreciation of the magnitude
and dignity of the agricultural industry
is constantly present with those in charge
of the administration of these universe
ties, there need be no difficulty in carry
ing on a course of instruction which will
fully meet the demands of the situation.
1t is a simple matter thus to order af-
fairs. The prime consideration is the
employment of competent men as pro-
fessors. Without them it is worse than
folly to attempt to conduct an agricul-
tural school. And it is respectfully sub
mitted that scientific training alone does
not constitute qualification for the dis
charge of such duties. Upon the scien-
tific arm of agriculture much reliance
may be placed, but even as one
armed man falls short of full
rounded, physical manhood, so does an
agricultural school fail of its full meas
ure of usefulness without the presence
of men trained in practical tilage of the
soil and the care of live stock The

HOW TO SERVE ORANGES.

y word or two as to the methods of
serving oranges AT table may not be a
miss here. \ simple way is to remove
the peel from the top and bottom of the
fruit, leaving Il girdle about an inch wide
all about the equator; sever this at one
side and carefully separate the sections
from each other, leaving them all attach
ed To the strip of skin. Another fashion
which is effective for table dressing is to
cut the skin on the lines of longitude.
leaving the sections attached to the south
pole. In making up a dish of or
anges prepared in this way some
of the points of the peel may be
bent forward under the orange and others
be allowed TO stand loosely away from
the fruit. Carefully done this makes an
orange look like a large yellow flower
with white center. Sliced oranges is
too familiar dish to require any COM
ment, but very palatable modification
is to alternate in the dish layers of sliced
banana and sliced orange, and cover the
whole with a frosting of dessicated CO.
coanut. The oranges do not look quite
so pretty if the slices are cut parallel with
the core rather than across it, but every
housewife knows of dozens of ways for
fixing oranges for the table. After all
an orange is something like watermel-
on. However beautiful and palatable
F it may be when prepared for the table,
it never tastes quite so sweet as when

1t would seem that exhibitions of temper
do not characterize the members of the
animal kingdom alone. Australia is the
home of a species of acacia known as the
angry tree. 1t slightly resembles the cent.
ury plant, has ii rapid growth, and often
reaches the height of eighty feet. One Of
these curious trees is to be seen in Virginia
New, where its vagaries have interested
many persons. When the sun sets the
leaves fold up and the tender twigs coil
lightly, like pigs tail. If the shoots are
handled the leaves rustic and move un.
easily for "A time. If the plant is removed
from one pot To another it seems angry,
and the leaves stand out in all directions,
like quilts on porcupine. a most pungent
and sickening odor, said to resemble that
given off by rattlesnakes when annoyed,
fills the air, and it is only after an hour or
so that the leaves fold in the natural way.
