Agricultural Education.

Professor Henry p. Armsby, dean Of
the School Of Agriculture Of Pennsylva.
MIA State college, says that the agricul-
tural products of Pennsylvania exceed
the total iron ore, coal and oil products
of the state by $4,000, 900. He also
makes a strong plea for agricultural ed
ncation. Whether we like it or not, I"
he says, eve are face TO face with new
problems and new conditions. In this
process of evolution, by which agricul-
ture is adjusting itself to its new envi-
ronment, as in every other process Of
evolution, the fittest will survive. The
community or the individual farmer
that can successfully readjust its agri-
culture TO these new conditions will
continue to prosper, while the farmer
or the community which fails TO do this
will be borne down by forces rs pitile~
aud as irresistible as gravitation.

Cost of House BuiIdins.

There is mistaken idea very preva.
lent that a small house that shall be at
tractive enough for man of taste can
not be built for less than $4,000 OF
SO, 900. Less than half that sum is suf-
ficient if it is judiciously expended.
Any amount Of money can be squander-
ed in noncssentials and in decoration,
that are as useless as inartistic. In the
main one only requires from a house, as
from a man, that il perform its duty
well, and do the things it was intended
to do in the best way and be pleasing
and graceful in doing it. A model
home, if it be skillfully planned, car
be erected for surprisingly small sum
in these days. -ChicagD Record.

C0lleqe Department.
Devoted to the Interests of
Alma College.

The founders room has been fitted
with a slate blackboard and will be used
by Pres. Bruske and Mr.. Beckner.
1t is expected that tennis will share
with football the chief popularity as a
fall sport this season. Although at
present the Orient is the only active
club, the other courts will undoubtedly
be occupied in the near future.
Great preparation has been made foI
the opening reception this evening at
Ladies' hall. Everybody should come
and get acquainted. Refreshments will
be served and, likeall other college re-
ceptions there will be no charge.
Both christian associations rendered
impromrtu receptions at the close Of the
prayer meeting Wednesday evening,
the Y. w. @. A. in the reception room,
the Y. M. c. A. in the chapel Nearly
every student was in attendance at one
of them.
A large and enthusiastic mass meeting
Of students was held in the chapel yes
terday afternoon. The tone of the meet
ing was distinctly enthusiasm along the
line of athletics thoughtful and in
structive address being delivered by DR.
McGrew of the Sanitarium. Other
speeches were made by faculty and stu
dents, all combining TO form a most
happy Introduction to what everyone
hopes will be most successful year in
college athletics.
Patrons of athletics will be pleased to
hear of the entrance in Alma college of
Mr. Geo Wells of Ithaca, all round
champion Of the Michigan Inter-colleg-
late Athletic Association. Until the ar
rival of football coach who it is earnest
ly hoped may soon be procured, Mr.. Wells
has consented to take charge Of athletics.
Besides coaching the football candidates
he will introduce the military system
of gymnastics which he learned at the
NJ A. 9. on which institution he was
in attendance last year. From long ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Wells, we can
testify to his ample ability in every
branch of athletics TO which he also adds
most genial personality.

A Humorous Tramp.

The tramp III real life, bcreft of the
picturesque atmosphere with which the
comic papers surround him, is by no
means "a hideous creature, but n sub

one with vein Of humor which would
bring JOY to the heart of the comic par

she told him he could have some dinner
If he would first saw some wood. This
the tramp agreed to do and repaired
with the saw to the wood shed. After
half an hour had elapsed and the hobo
had not come TO claim his reward my
wife determined TO investigate. Going
to the shed, she saw that both tramp and
saw had disappeared, while the wood
pile was undisturbed. a piece of dirty
paper pinned to the door caught her at
tention, and after considerable difficulty
she deciphered the message, which read
as follows: Just tell them that you saw
me, but you did not see me saw. ~

The Temperlng Of Spring..

It u q nice job to temper a steeo
spring properly. Like many other
things, the preparatory work should be
well done, or tho tempering proper will
never be n success The forge work
should be done with a rather low tenn
perature and gentle taps. Smiths are
beginning 20 understand that very
many bits of forging have the life
pounded out of them by heavy and con-
tinuous beating. Light taps smooth the
surface and create what is equivalent
TO q cuticle over the metal. This should
be carefully preserved. Light hammer
ing consolidates the PARTICLES Of steel
and toughens the forging. 1t il said
that continuous, steady and light blows
with a hammer will magnetic steel.
It seems to put life into it. If it is nec-
essary to grind spring, do 1T at the
outset and before much Of the hammer
ing is done. Do not put it on an emery
wheel. 1t breaks the cuticle and de-
stroys the integrity of the metal. The
hardening may be done by heating a
large piece of iron to red heat, then
putting the spring on the iron until 1T
is heated through.
Another way is to hold the spring
over bright fire until it is sufficiently
hot. 1t should be kept some distance
from the fire. so as not 10 heat too
quickly When it is Of light red and
all of a color, plunge it into cool water
Do not use ice water, as Is so often sug-
gested. Be careful in putting in the
spring that the sudden cooling of one
side does not draw it out of shape. If
1t is put in slowly, it is warped by the
sudden cooling Of one portion. When
fully tempered, polish the spring with
emery cloth until it is thoroughly clean
and bright. Saturate piece of paper
with oil, light it and allow the smoke
to collect on the spring until it is en-
tirely coated with the black. Then heat
it over the forge fire very slowly. Do
not let one part burn off clean while
the other is still black, but let it dis
appear all over the spring at the Same
time if possible. The perfection Of tenn
per comes from slow and careful haIr
ding and the utmost deliberation in
heating and hAsamering. New York
ledger.
