4 recent bulletin from the Agricltl-
tural College experiment station tells
of the "skim milk calf This is a
timely warning as the present feeling
in the State is SO prosperous that
farmers are liable to feed pure cream
and raise gouty herds.
The wheat experiment station at
Halstead, maintained 10y the govern
ment. promises to he place OF some
note i'm the next few years. The de-
partment OF agriculture is seeking to
lind the ideal variety of wheat for this
country and for that reason nothing

toothed old pelican We ever saw. HeI
legs are as crooked as those OF a
raw-dad-while her head, neck and
shoulders look like 80 cents. Huh"

vertised that he would meet members
of local religious sect ''in friendly
way in the opera house, without any
expense to them and discuss any OF
all points they might choose on the
subject of their belief, and to over
throw their explanation of God, of al
creation, of the Immortality of the
soul, and to show the incorrectness o
their explanations of heaven, hell anC
life after death" He didn't show VI
