SPANISH WAR VICTIMS.
Statistics Showing the Death Rate in
Battle and Camp.

The Chicago Tribune prints statistics
showing the number of soldiers who have
been killed in battle and have died of dis
eases in camps during the war with Spain.
The Tribune says: while $50 officers
and men have been killed in battle or died
Of wounds received, there have died of
disease in camps between 1920 and 1000
volunteers and regulars. The Tribune
has secured the names of ], 2S4 who died
in camp, on transports or at home after
contracting the dread malady at one Of
the camps. There is no doubt about the
1924 whose names have been secured.
Neither is there much doubt that there
are hundreds dead whose names could
not be secured on account Of lack Of rec
ords and the liability or unwillingness of
army officers to furnish lists of the dead"

storrs.

An interesting and ipstructive farmer s meeting was held in College hall last Fri day afternoon and evening. Dr N. s. Mayo, professor of veterinary and physi- ology Ut the college. presided. President Flint cordially welcomed the convention, but regretted the small number present, owing, he said, to the bad travelling. but those present be assured, would be amply repaid for coming, as it was the beginning of a series of good things, intellectually. Dr. Mayo then introduced Dr Winton of New Haven, who spoke at some length on the "Adulteration of foods" He con- graduated this institution upon its mar velous growth, saying it was better equip ped to-day than the largest of similar institutions few years ago, and promises to become the leading agricultural college of the United States and become an inn portant factor in bringing back to New England deeper interest in agriculture. "Adulteration of food" he said. 'origin- ated early in civilization, and has increased enormously. Adulteration is not destined to keep pace with circulation for while science discovers modes of detection, and as the work of adulteration is carried on in close secret, it is left to us to examine by the aid of chemical knowledge. But without good laws against the evil, but little progress can be made toward lessen ing 1t, and our country has but few laws to protect its people from the evil" He was followed by C. H. Manchester of Win chester on "How to raise good potatoes He said we should and can raise potatoes of the highest quality and can compete with the West, but to do this we should study three things, soil, seed and culture. It all involves hard work but hard work achieves success" A stereoptican lecture on birds was given in the evening by Prof. Mayo, which was well received.
