located on a tract of 5000 acres at Palo
Alto, the gift OF Mr.. Stanford. The
buildings are on an elevation above San
Francisco bay and at the base OF the
Santa Cruz mountains. The site IL sur
passlngly beautiful and the surround
ings make it the ideal home for an edu-
cational institution. BY the time the
university opens in September the
twelve buildings constituting the inner
quadrangle will be completed. They
are of the Moorish style of architecture,
one story high, and connected by a con
tinuous colonnade. The material is a
buff -colored sandstone. A workshop in
the mechanical engineering department
and the museum are finished, as also is
Madrono hall, the dormitory for young
men. a beautiful stone building four
stories high, which will accommodate
for young women, and the gymnasium
will be completed in a few months.
For 1891 80 instruction will be given IN
mechanical and civil engineering, math-
ematics, physics, chemistry, geology,
botany, zoology, physiology, philosophy,
ethics, history, political science, Eng
lish literature, German, French, Latin
and Greek. Other studies will be added
as rapidly as possible. DR.. David S.
Jordan, the brilliant young educator
from Cornell, who has been called to the
presidency, says in sketching the scope
of the university: The fact is recog-
nized hat an institution of learning,
however broad it's plans and noble it's
purpose, must be a growth and not a
creation, and that if its growth is to be
healthy and continuous it's beginning
must be modest. 1t will be the first
aim of the university to secure and to
retain the highest talent IN it's faculty.
Every effort will be made to fill its chairs
with men who are successful as teachers,
and who are also original investigators
in the field of knowledge which they
represent" With such a spirit animal
ing its organizers and with an endow-
ment of many millions to enable them
to work out their purpose the future
greatness of this noble institution is as
sured. Its upbuilding will be observed
and studied by educators, scholars and
mon of letter the world over.

Be it remembered that the Montana
state fair opens Aug. %. Every citizen
should do a little something to help the
exhibition along. Our merchants
might offer a few special premiums that
would advertise their own business and
make some one happy by winning the

Journalism is more important than

inches iameter is fixed at each end
as sho in section at Fig. 2. The
shaft OF the lower, upon which the
driving pulley is fastened, extends two
feet beyond the body of the elevator,
and rests at its outer end in a block
mortised into the two-inch foundation
piece. (See Fig. ~ The pulley on
this shaft should not be more than
two and one half inches in diameter.
Within the elevator, extending from
one roller to the other, is a smooth

end followed beneath that it may fit
closely to the roller; but it should not
be made to touch. (Sec section, 2, A.

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.


why ran iasturlnS OF meadoWS Is NOT u
Profitable Practice.
It is common practice in many
parts of the country to turn the cattle,
horses and sheep upon the hay fields
after the crop of hay has been gathered,
and the second crop, or ''rowen," has
appeared in luxuriant growth. There
is a strong temptation to such a course,
because at this season of the year the
pastures have begun to dry up, aud the
stock has begun to look less thrifty,
while the yield of milk from the cows
has very materially diminished. But
like all temptations to do unwise things
for the sake of temporary advantage,
this one should be resisted. 1t is to be
presumed that the great majority who
practice fall feeding of meadow lands
do not comprehend the extent of the
injury that comes from such a course.
They see only a little increase of
growth, a few more quarts of milk per
day, but fail to reason back from effect
to cause when succeeding seasons show
a rapidly decreasing yield of hay, or
other crops upon these fields, some
considerable part of which is surely
due to this fall pasturing.
Most plants require for vigorous
growth a soil, not hard packed, but
fairly light and well drained, with
roots left undisturbed when once they
have begun to stretch out through the
soil in search of food. Moreover. it is
the habit of grass plants to form a
thick mat or carpet over the ground,
which serves as protection for the roots
against the washing of heavy rains, the
alternate thawing and freezing of early
spring, and the scorching heat of late
sumE4r, When meadows are cropped
by cattle, many plants are torn out
broken or loosened and exposed to the
frost, rain and heat. In addition to
this, the feet of the stock are constant
~ packing the soil solidly around the
plants, which binders free drainage; or
making foot holes that become basins
for water and ice. But the actual in
jury to the grass plants is not abby
feeding off the second growth natures
plans for protecting the grass during
the cold of winter are thwarted, and
very much of winter killing is the
result Where SHOWS lie deep and con-
parent, but even cold climates are sub
ject to open winters, which are suffi-
