OF the history OF the mint bill, and
other interesting articles and editorials.
Professor Cottrell contributes some
practical suggestions on building cheap
milk room and keeping milk in warm
weather, which will interest every
farmer. It will pay you to write for a

President Will says, regarding the at
tendance at the Agricultural College:
"A count Of the students enrolled up to
the middle Of the first week In October
shows that there were present 75 pre-
paratory students, 2O8 hrst years, 149
second years, " third years, SO fourth
years. Is specials, and IL apprentices a
total Of 594. Compared with the attend
at the same time in previous years, this
number is 175 greater than that Of 1894,
1913 greater than that of 1895, about so
greater than that Of 1896, and 8 less than
that Of last year, a shortage that is more
than accounted for either by the failure
Of our student volunteers to secure re-
lease from military service, or by the
difference in size Of the classes Of '98
and '99. The attendance is so nearly
that OF last year that we may come out
ahead by the close Of the term. None Of
these totals include the postgraduate
students who are always slow to get
their complete assignments"
