AS teacher, Prof Purinton was
ever at his best. Fairiminded, cam
did and patient, he had the respect
and confidence Of every student.
He was hard student and never
appeared before the class without
the most thorough preparation. He
never attempted to force his views
upon any student, but was always
ready to meet objections with the
purest English and elearest logic.

Possibly one Of his strongest points
as q teacher was the fact that he
made study Of methods Of teach

structors pay much attention. His
constantly changing the manner of

hood and young manhood were pass
ed in his native state. After attend
ing the schools Of his native county
Of York, he went to Jefferson college,
graduating with honor in the class
of 1927. He was a member Of. the
Presbyterian church and, for a time
after graduation, devoted himself to
the ministry. Soon, however, his at
tention was turned to teaching, the
profession inAwhich he was engaged
during the most of his life. /. -
l. DR.. Scott was principal of Lipsly
Institute, at Wheeling, and p}esi-
dent of Washington College, at
Washington, Pennsylvania, occupy
ing the latter position for u years.
He was afterwards principal of
Woodburn Seminary, at Morgan

versity-known until Jan. 80, 1868,
as the West Virginia Agricultural
College-was established, and DR..

Vice President. After the resigna-
ton of President Martin, DR.. Scott

.indefatigable worker.
For the position of college president,
he possessed many qualifications.

morning for some days. But one day
she was surprised to find that it few up

PRUNING TREES N WINTER.

Notwithstanding many sag that winter
pruning Of trees is injurious, I contend
that it is not. If done when the wood
is not frozen, and the wounds (anY over
one-fourth Of an inch in diameter) be
cemented over or even coated with
boiled linseed oil, there is no danger of
black spots o. the fat headed borer tax
ing advantage Of it. The covering OF
the wounds can be done q month after
the pruning, as By that time it will have
dried SO as to take the oil or cement the
better. | have already done some prun-
ing this fall. There is another advan-
tage in pruning now, where the rabbits
are plenty, as the green brush will give
them something to bark, instead of their
attacking young trees, much to their IN
jury oft times. IF young trees are prop
erly trained from their infancy there
need be no other tool needed than a
good pocket knife. The pruning of
trees in June, as some recommend, Ide-
lnur most emphatically, as from all my
experience, where it becomes necessary
from the effects of storms, the result was
injurious. It stands to reason that when
. tree is in full growth that any foliage
taken from it, the result is a check, and
cannot be otherwise than injurious. -

from eighty to 120 pounds, are the most
desirable weights for shipment" said .
leading dealer In Faneuil Hall Market.
ssYou ask the way to dress calves said
he; there is only one way. The head
should be cut squarely off. In some cases
the head is scalded and dressed and sent
to market, but in most cases is over
looked and left at home. The legs should
be cut off at the knee joint. The entrails
should be removed, excepting the kid
neys. The liver, lights and heart should
ba taken out. Gut the carcass open from
the neck through the entire length, from
head to crotch. If this is done they are
not so apt to sour and spoil during hot
weather. Do not wash the carcass out
with water, but with q dr. cloth. Do not
ship until the animal heat is entirely ont

under fifty pounds should not be shipped,

TO WALK,

During the winter after the rush of
che work is over is a good time to break
the colts, Get them accustomed to
light work in the winter SO that If need
be they can be used to some extent dur
ing the more pressing work in the spring.
One item is of great Importance in break
ing the colts, and that is TO train them
TO walk well. A larger part of the farm
work is done in a walk and it will make
considerable difference In the amount of
work done whether the team are good
walkers or not. One item in doing this
il TO only work them with horses that are
good walkers. One of the best plans of
managing a colt is to commence walking
il with q good gated but steady
going horse that will take whatever load
they are hitched to without difficulty. If,
however, he is slow, the colt will soon
learn the same gait, and little care in
this respect at the start will make a con-
siderable difference in a short time. Be
sure at first that the horse used in break
ing the colt is naturally agood walker
and then see that the colt is well broken
beside him and an important point will
have been gained. -G Chicago Tines.

A DOGS Table Etiquette.

pictures of animals, you note the deli
caey Of a dog that has been properly
trained in the matter of taking his food,
says a correspondent of the New York
Times. My little dog is not only most
dainty in that particular, but strictly OBJ
serves the courtesy, which is natural, not
taught, of beginning his dinner (served
on white napery that is never soiled)
until his master begins his own. No
amount of coaxing on the part of the
ladies (they do not waltz will induce him
to eat if | am late; he merely consents to
have his muzzle taken off, inspects his
dinner, and then seeks his masters room,
where he waits to accompany him in Or

now TO FEED FOR RICH MILK.

There can be no question among prac-
Gical dairymen, however much scientific
men may doubt it, that rich food will
produce rich milk-that is, food rich in
fat will add to the fat in the milk. The
common practice among the best dairy
men is to feed the COWS fully with such
food as is given under ordinary circum-
stances, and then either change a part
of it or add to it some other kind which
contains a large quantity of fat. Thus,
. COW fed on clover hay, with as much
cornmeal as she will eat, may have two
quarts of the meal changed for two
quarts Of cottonseed meal, which contains
nearly three times as much fat az the
cornmeal. This change of food will al
most always result in the production Of
more butter without increasing the
milk-that is, the milk is richer in fat.
"a cow that is fed on hay and bran will
increase in butter if the bran is displaced
by cornmeal,-NeW York Times.

Il warm than If small and close to the
head. The comb indicates the con-.
dition of the bird. If it is of a bright
scarlet red it denotes health, but if the
points turn black you may depend upon
It something is wrong. When the comb
becomes frosted all that portion injured
rots off, and the bird suffers pain. If

comb is healed, while a cock with a
frosted comb becomes unwelI and un-
