President Rankin, ofHoward Univer
sity, has forwarded to the Secretary OF
the Interior report of the institution
for the year ended June 80 1900 The
students have aggregated 80, from
forty different States and Territories
and ten foreign countries. During the
year the University expended about
", 600 for the repairs of buildings, of
which $4,000 was appropriated by Con-
gress. The appropriation of $500 for
the law and general library was ex-
pended under the direction of the sever.
al faculties. The sum of 500 appropr1-
ated for chemical apparatus was used
by the professor Of chemistry. physics,
and natural history, after submission
of the proposals to the Secretary of the
Interior.
The medical department of Howard
University has opered with bright pros
poets. Alatge number of students have
matrioulated, and the secretary reports
that there will be over 200 students In
the medical, dental and pharmaceutic
colleges of the University.

he wended his way to Wilbertorce
University at Xenia, Ohio, and for four
years he diligently prosecuted his stud

for his future usefulness. He went to
Terre Haute, Indiana, wherehe entered
a business college and remained until
he graduated with credit and honor.
1t was business that was uppermost
IN mis- mind as is shown In his career.
He served as corresponding secretary
to Major Defreese OF the U. 8. A., at
the Grand Army Encampment Of the
State of Indiana in 1898, an exalted po.
sition for young man, and especially
colored man. In 1894 he accepted
the editorial chair of the Ultimatum,
published at Hot Springs, Ark. and
the paper grew and prospered; was
read by thousands and was greatly ap-
preciated. He severed his connection
with the paper and in 1898 he formed
the firm Of Wilson & McLendon, whole
sale and retail liquor dealers, and this
house is one of the largest in the state.
They enjoy fine trade and their cheek
will be accepted for as many thousands
Of dollars as they choose to give. They
are rated in the commercial world at
$4,000. Mr.. McLendon was present at
the Boston meeting and made a pro-

affecting our race. It was an exposl'

he brought forth wealth as solution
to this vexing, troublesome question.

as well received as It was delivered.

Intelligent Cross Breeding.

Not little of the trouble in grading
up herds of live stock comes from in
discriminate and ignorant cross breed
ing. New blood is necessary for every
flock, and some introduce it with ven-
gence. That is, they cross with about
everything that comes along. They
seem to take certain amount of plea
sure in introducing the blood of nearly
every breed-good, bad and indiffer-
ent-into their hocks. Some will de-
fend their position by saying that they
are experimenting, and that the work
is all done in the interest of scientific
breeding. They will even point to
some accidental discoveries of fine
breeds produced through cross breed
ing Unexpectedly. They are wrong in
this logic, for the accidental discoveries
have not been produced by indiscrim-
mate cross breeding. Breeders were
conducting line of experiments with
certain animals for certain results, and
accidentally obtained something else.
They were using every cross for pur-
pose, and were thus intelligently con-
Quoting experiments in the interests of
science.
1t is very different from the indis-
criminate cross breeding which has no
object or aim, and is carried on in a
haphazard style. 1t only leads to con-
fusion and generally to the degenera-
ton of the flock or herd. Vicious and
undesirable qualities are pretty sure to
be introduced in this way and in the
end there will be absolute loss
Intelligent cross breeding is of the
utmost Importance on our farms, and it
is something that can be carried on by
every farmer. All that is necessary is
au intelligent desire to improve the an
imals and clear aim in view. A cross
should be made only with superior aui-
mails to the live stock on hand. A
neighbours bull may have some merits,
but the chances are that they are not

Ill Balanced Fertilizers.

An ill balanced or incomplete fer
tilizer is one which does not supply all
three elements of plant food-phos-
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash.
Sometimes material may furnish one
or even two of the essential ingredi'
ents, but if all three are not present the
mixture may be regarded as incom-
plete, and what the plant fails to find
in the fertilizer it must look for in the
soil, with the result that if the soil does
not contain it the crop has to suffer &C
cordingly. On the other hand, if the
ingredient which is missing in the fer
tilizer is present in the soil it will
gradually become exhausted through
continued dropping, and the yield nat
urally falls off in proportion.
1t is an established fact in fertilizing
that one element of plant food cannot
replace another. Each has its special
function to perform. To illustrate: II
there is enough phosphoric acid and
nitrogen in the soil TO produce 200
bushel crop of Irish potatoes, and only
enough potash to produce 100-bushel
crop, the yield would not go above the
latter figure. The element present in
the smallest proportion is what regu-
lates the extent of the yield. In other
words, we meet, in feeding plants, the
old maxim, "a chain is not stronger
than its weakest link"
From what has been said it can be
seen at once that it is both wise and
economical to feed crops like animals.
No one would think of giving horse
or COW one-sided food and expect to
get full days work from it. Every
hard working animal must have proper
food and plenty of it.
AS said before, the three ingredients
to make up complete food for plants
are phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
potash. Manufacturers embody all
three in their mixtures, and the pro-
portions vary to suit the crops, some
requiring more of one than another.
The principal point to bear in mind is
that one sided fertilization seldom, il
ever, pays in the long run. 1t is much
easier to keep up the fertility of soils
by using what is needed annually to
meet the demands of the growing crop
than TO build up land which has become
run down or exhausted. George K
Wilson in Fruit Growers Journal.

Live Stock Market.

There were on the market at Brighton
last Tuesday 1906 cattle, $50 sheep and

and 300 pounds of poultry
For Northern and Eastern beef cattle the

For milch cows and springers the market

sparingly and milkmen hardly at all.
Veal calves were in active demand at

until fed her some small potatoes in
her mess; now have no trouble"
Many believe that the milk secret
ing organs are stimulated by the pro-
cess of milking, and that the flow of
milk is largely increased thereby. If
the COW has something to eat of which
she is especially fond it is reasonable
to believe thst she will "give down"
better than if she is hungry and wait
ing to be fed. Mix few roots or veg
etables with the mess of meal or grain
as relish. Fruit or vegetable refuse
is eaten with avidity. Reserve the hay
or roughage to follow later. You will
find the COW will show her gratitude
and appreciation of this method OF
feeding by "giying down" her milk
and doing her level best to increase the
contents of her pRil.-Sarah E. Wilcox

AGRICULTURAL.
Maturity OF Swine.

Professor Thomas Shaw says: 1.-THE
maturing qualities OF Berkshire swine
are what may be termed OF the plastic
order. Maturity means completed de
velopment. Early maturity is COM
pleted development at an early age,
and late maturity is completed develop
ment at any age later than the average.
Elasticity in maturity means the capa-
bility of being matured at periods of
development varying from an early age
to one considerably later. When an
animal possesses this quality in an emil
nent degree 1t can virtually be made
ready for the market at any age,
though not in all instances, with equal
facility, for in all animals there is an
age beyond which they may be more
easily ripened than at an earlier period.
The claim that Berkshires have plas-
ITCHY OF constitution in an eminent de.
gree is abundantly sustained by COM
mon experience. The writer has pre-
pared Berkshires for market at nearly
all stages as occasion might demand,
and has found no difficulty in making
what may be termed fine finish.
"The ability to mature easily is usu
ally looked upon as the great consider
alton by the average grower of meat
This view has been fostered and dis
seminated, if, indeed, it has not been
created, by live stock writers who have
but partially grasped the whole subject.
Those men have contended that the
more quickly an animal can be grown
and matured, the more cheaply can it
be produced. They have built their
theory on the eternal truth, that under
average conditions an animal will make
daily gains which continually decrease
as the birth period is receded from,
Notwithstanding a continuously in
creasing consumption of food. While
that is truelit is not true that earliest
maturity is aptagonistic to large size;
second, it is prejudicial to the highest
breeding and nursing quantities; and
third, 1t compels marketing within a
certain age. That it is antagonistic to
large size is amply evidenced in the
small maximum growth of the earliest
maturing breeds, as, for instance, the
small Yorkshires, the Suffolks and the
Essex. That it is prejudicial to the
the highest type Of breeding and nurs-
ing qualities is evidenced in the small
average of the litter of those breeds as
compared with the litters of the large
improved Yorkshire and Tamworth
breeds, which are much later in matur-
ing, and in the less marked ability of
the breeds first named to sustain an
undiminished milk flow for a long pc.
riod.

Feeding at Milking Time.

l have, l believe, been a careful OBJ
server of cows, of their habits and
idiosyncrasies, have noted the effect of
food as to quality, quantity, manner
and time of feeding, and am decidedly
of the opinion that to feed at milking
time has favorable influence upon the
flow of milk, The flow of milk Il refer
to what is usually termed "giving

NAL. Unless arrested by unusual and
untoward influences it ordinarily goes
forward uninterruptedlg, A sudden
alarm-and in the case Of sensitive,

times retard or check the flow.
Feeding time is supreme event in
the life of an animal, as it is in the
lives of some person.. Observation
and experience teach that person is
not in condition OF tranquility while
waiting for dinner. 1t has been said,
"Never ask favor of hungry man."
and shall we expect more from COW
than we do from her master? The high
est animal enjoyment is experienced in
the qualification of appetite. To make
an animal happy you must give it
something TO eat. Note the eagerness
of the COW for her anticipated ration
and her evident Ell joyment of it. There
is an attitude of supreme content that
augurs favorably for the milk pail. If
the accustomed dainty is withheld, dis
appointment is as forcibly expressed as
it would be by speech, for factions
speak louder than words"
One dairyman says: Il had at one
time two COWS that would not give
down their milk; after l fed them
something they liked at milking time
could get all the milk. l have now a
