The new style OF graduating at
Yale, which does away almost en-.
tirely with public speaking and COM
pletely ann hilates the amateur
orator, is step in the right direc-
tion. The young man who "boned"
through his entire course to attain
the honors of the vaiedictorian,
usually finished with an accumula-
ton OF cad knowledge acquired at
the expense of physical strength and
that more practical information
which helps the man of action
through the world, Yale has broken
from the traditions but she has
started the movement which will do
away with the brief prominence of
the self conscious young man with
broad cuffs, t0rtuous collar, unmau-
ageable hands and abnormally de-
veloped feet.

AMONG KANSAS CHURCH PEO-
PIE.
ItInerants' Club.

Capital
The meetings held in Topeka last
week under the auspices of the timer
ants club, proved Of great value and
interest. To begin with the club gath
cred in Topeka some Of the most able
and noted divines enlisted under the
banners Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, in this country.
Among the most prominent gentle
men present and taking active part in
the services we're: DR.. T. B. Nicely, of
Philadelphia, lecturer, writer Of Christian
books and leading spirit in church work,
is one Of the most gifted and eloquent
ministers along the Atlantic seaboard.
With energetic views, yet withal an ear
nest and attractive manner, his lecture
on "Elocution and Oratory" was full Of
interest and highly instructive.
In DIR, S. F. Upham, president Of the
Drew Theological seminary, of Madison,
N. j., the Itinerants have secured a
great man, theologian and divine, sec.
ond to none in the work. He lectured
on "The Growth of Sermon"
Another noted divine and Christian
gentleman is Dr. Emory Miller, of Iowa,
who lectured on "Short Studies in The
ology."
The club announced that the night
lectures were not theological in any
sense, but general and of interest to all.
The sessions were held at the First M.
E. church, DR.. Jesse Bowman Young
lectured on the "World of Today" A
magnificent audience greeted DIR. Young
and certainly proved an inspiration, for
his remarks we're instructive throughout
and we're often brilliant.
The altar chancel was appropriately
decorated with potted palms surmounted
in the center with magnificent bou-
quet Of La France roses intertwined
with smilax. After an organ prelude,
song and prayer, the orator was intro
duced by Rev. A. S. Embree, as editor
of the st. Louis Advocate and man ia
miliar to western Methodist audiences.

nallet, driven down about ten feet

One advantage the driven we'll has
over a well that is dug and walled up

Calf Feeding.

There is an impression with many
farmers and dalrymen that skim milk
Is n rather thin diet for calves, and we
see constantly in the dairy papers rec
concentrations that 1t should be rein
forced with flaxseed meal or jelly made
from the ground seed or cake. SO far
as the oil or fat is concerned, this addi-.
ton is all right. But flaXseed, and es-
peclally the ground cake, is exceeding
ly rich in protein, and this is just the
trouble with the skim milk. 1t is de-
ficient not in protein, but in carbo-hy-
drate-fat and starch. The best single
addition to skim milk for calves as soon
as they can eat is corn or oats.-Farm-
ers' Home Weekly.

The Use of the Harrow.

inc use OI IhC narrow
The harrow has never been used to
anything like the extent to which it
ought to be in our systems of agricult-
ure.. The necessities of some of the
prairie soils of the far West are COM
pelling many farmers to do what sci
ence and good judgment should have
taught them long ago. We refer to the
narrowing of the grain after it has ap-
peared above the surface of the
ground. Owing to the persistence with
which they have grown wheat on the
same lands from year to year, those
lands are becoming very foul with
weeds. Two ways of cleaning them
have been resorted to- The first is
through the fundamentally of the bare
fallow, and the second is through the
free use of the harrow after the grain
has appeared above the surface of the
ground The latter practice has not
been resorted to very generally, but
some farmers have tried it, and with
results that are most encouraging.
When land is to be thus narrowed after
the crop has appeared above ground,
the grain should be sown with the drill.
Were it sown broadcast, some Of 1t
would become rooted so near the sur
face that the teeth of the harrow would
probably drag it out. The depth to
which grain should be sown will de-
pend-frst, ON the character of the soil,
and second, on the kind of grain sown.
On prairie soils of light, loose and
spongy character the grain should be
sown deep, and, if possible, with the
press drill to firm the ground uuder-
meath the seed and above it, otherwise

Corn Stalks Heating in Winter.
There Is large amount of moisture
In corn stalks early In the winter, no
matter how thoroughly they may seem
to be dried. The rafting Of the leaves
only shows that they are dry, but they
are comparatively small part Of the
whole. When cut before severe cold
weather comes, the cut stalks will go
into much smaller space, and If in large
masses will heat very rapidly. For
this reason it Is not best to cut the
bulk of the corn fodder very
early. 1t Is easier to cut the
stalks all at once by horse power early
in the season and make only one job
Of 1t. But when this is done the after
labor of turning the pile of cut stalks
over every day to keep It from spelling
offsets the advantage. Most good farm
ers who cut their corn stalks by horse
or steam power have also a smaller
cutting box operated by hand power
for cutting stalks early in the season.

Resubm.ssIon Opposed.

At meeting Of the Topeka Minis,
terial Union it was decided to circulate
petitions throughout the state in OPP
position to the proposed resubmission OF
the prohibitory liquor amendment to
the constitution.
An effort will be made to secure 100,-
600 signatures to the petitions, which
are to be presented to the Legislature.
A committee consisting Of j. B. McAfee
Richard Wake and j. @. @. Owens was
appointed to have charge of distribu-
ton and collection of the petitions.
The Ministerial Union takes this ac-
ton in view of the fact that the State
Temperance Union is not in condition
to assume the work. A meeting has
been called for January II, to reorgan-
ize the Temperance Union, but as that
date will be too late for circulating the
petitions, the Ministerial Union will
take charge of the campaign.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Contract Let for Brick sidewaIk-Asssss-
ment Ordinances Paid.

The special meeting of the city coun-
ell last night was uneventful. 1t was
called to dispose of routine business, so
that at the regular monthly meeting
next Monday night the time of the city
law makers would not be taken up with
business which requires very little at
tention on the part Of the members.
Councilman Pattison of the First ward
and Fellows of the Fourth ward were
absent
There were eight bids for the three
miles and a half Of brick sidewalk to be
built The successful bidder was John
Richie, and a resolution was passed Civ
ing him the contract The bids were all
considered as unusually low. They were
as follows per square foot: g. H. Griggs,
So cents; John Richie, $50; W. H
Barnes, 619; H p. Winens, 8; James
Ramsey, $50; c. J. Rasen, 6; J. G. Moore,
So o. Swanson, 81.
Instead of certified check for 500.
which was required as security from
those who made bids, Richie turned
800 in money over to the clerk. This
apparently SO surprised the city fathers
that several of them begged to be al
] lowed to look at the money. aud they
