Bloomington College and an Appropria
ton.

The COURIER acknowledges the
receipt from the Bloomington Uni
versity Of an interesting address de-
livered before the National Edu-
cational Association" in 1900, by
President Jos. Swain, on the State
University, in which he delves into
history and logic to show the ad-
vantages of such an institution to
the body polite OF the State.
The enclosure also includes "a
Review of the Legal History of the
Bloomington University" in its
connection with the State by Hon.
NJ. T.. Forkner, of New Castle. The
latter is very able legal presenta
ton of the University's right to de-
mand pecuniary aid of the State,
derived by taxation OF the People
thereof.
The present Legislature will be
called upon for the usual large APP
preparation, and this argument is to
show the duty of the State to make
it. To the unsophisticated tax
payer, who is compelled to give up
his hardly earned dollars to pam
per an Institution TO which he can
not afford to send his children, il
would seem that the annual appro-
priation ought to decrease annually
in proportion as the endowment
fund, " which he also pays taxes to
raise, is increased. If this was done
he might hope, after few years, to
get rid Of this call for his money
but il is not done, although the en-
dowment fund has now reached
large proportions.
Probably people generally would
not object so strenuously to being
taxed for the State University and
the Normal College, if tuition of
students was strictly as the law Of
their establishment requires, if stu
ition was free, without charge, and
equally open TO ALL But it is a
fact not controverted that each in
stitution virtually costs a student as
much as if he was attending any
other University or college in the
State which does not receive a sin
gle dollar of the public funds-the
matriculation fees, entrance fees,
library fees, laboratory fees, amuse-
ment fees, etc., generally amount to
as much "a the entire sum charged
in other colleges, thereby COMPEL
ing the parent who sends his child
there to pay as much as if he was
paying no taxes for the Institution.
Ii the Legislature makes an appro-
priation all these round about extra
fees should be totally abolished and
prohibited from being exacted by
Trustees or Faculty.

LINING LAND.
Method Recommended by the Ohio
station and Some Results.

Method Recommended by the Ohio
station and Some Results.
A method of applying lime, recon-
mended by the Ohio station, is to pile
unslakcd lime In small piles on land
which has been plowed and narrowed,
slack by wetting and covering with
loose earth and spread with the shovel.
Piles of peck each n rod apart will
give forty bushels per acre, which
would be considered moderate dress
ing.
Slaked lime cannot be easily applied
with the ordinary fertilizer drill, but
unslaked lime, ground to coarse meal,
is now on the market, and this may be
successfully applied in this manner.
The function of lime Is not, properly
speaking, that Of n fertilizer. as its
effect Is not so much due to the actual
plant food which 1t carries to the soil
as to the rendering available Of plant
food already in the soil and of improv-
ing the physical condition Of the soil
itself. Hence the lime should be as
fresh as possible.
In consequence of this effect OF lime
1t should always be followed by liberal
manuring or fertilizing, otherwise its
use will tend to exhaust the soil. But
lime should never be mixed with ma
nure nor with other fertilizers, espe-
cially those containing ammonia, as it
will liberate the latter and cause Its
escape. 1t should be applied as long
as possible before the crop is planted
and Is likely to be especially beneficial
to clover, timothy and other grasses.
In one case half acre Of land on
which wheat is being grown year after
year was treated with a thousand
pounds of lime, freshly slaked and APP
piled broadcast just before sowing the
wheat. The crop Immediately follow
ing showed but little effect from the
lime, but the second crop showed an in
crease of about six bushels per acre for
the lined portion over the unlimed half
acre adjoining.
In another case half of tract of
three acres was lined in the spring Of
1900 and planted in corn. There was
an apparent increase in the corn crop
for the lined part Of this tract over
that left without lime, and in the oats
crop following the corn there was a
further increase of over nine bushels
per acre.
In third case part of n block of al
e. ,,,I yst
on unlimed, with the result that the
lined portion made by far the more
vigorous growth.

SMALL GRAIN FOR HAY.
Sow Wheat, Winter Oats and Vetch
For Cattle Food Next Spring.

Sow Wheat, Winter Oats and Vetch
For Cattle Food Next Spring.
Wheat has recently attracted con-
siderable attention in some sections
as hay crop. If cutsjust as it reaches
the dough stage it isIeasily cured. The
hay is as good as cantbe produced from
any other crop. 1t contains both grain
and forage and is found to take the
place of corn and fodder. Horses and
mules fed upon this hay work just as
well as when fed upon the usual ra-
tons of corn or. oats and hay or fod-
der. 1t is claimed that, they will i'm
prove In flesh and muscle. II these
claims are true, and numerous expert
ments indicate thatsthey are true, then
the farmers duty is plain.
Wheat has many points tin its favor.
The plant is handy and stands the
winter with little risk of damage from
cold. 1t comes in early when most
needed. 1t yields heavy crops. 1t Is
worth about twice as much for hay as
if grown for breadLthat is, the straw
when cut and cured for hay is worth
as much as the grain. 1T can be fed
as forage just as it is cut, or it can be
easily cured and baledI and shipped
and finds ready market at good
price.
Hence our farmers, should SOW large
areas of wheat to be used for hay next
spring, when all kinds ,of cattle food
will be in demand. this choice food
for dairy cows and for beef cattle.
Winter oats are also! desirable for
the same purposes. Theioats are lit
tie more liable to be injured by winter
freezing, otherwise they are very prof
table. BY drilling oats and leaving
them in burrows about two'inches deep
and not filled they withstand the
freezes.
A new plan Is to mix; hairy vetch or
English vetch with the oats and wheat.
They grow well together and make
perfect ration. The vetchess willdo well
if sown singly. but they grow so tall
and slender that they need, supporting.
The wheat or oats furnish this support
and do not in the least interfere with
the growth of the ,vetches. The value
OF the vetch for pasture and4mowing IS
Just beginning to dawn on our farmers.

strates that there is room in the news
paper field for a national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns of
the Commoncr Nj. Bryan contributes
his best efforts and his review OF polit-
ical events as they arise from time to

STORING CABBAGES.
Many Ways of Doing It-GOOd Ven-
tilntiOn the Chief Requirement.

Many Ways of Doing 1t-GOOd Ven-
tiIntion the Chief Requirement..
In regard to storing cabbages, this Is
done in about every conceivable way,
from standing them on their heads on
meadow lands or in woods without any
covering or sometimes little straw or
snow to easements of barn and to quite
elaborate storehouses. When stored on
meadow or woods, in some instances
they keep better and shrink less than
in any other way, but they should be
placed on sloping ground, so that drain
age will be good, and covering has to
be watched, so that they do not get too
warm, as there is little or no ventila-
ton that way, and sometimes they all
rot, writes an experienced cabbage
grower to Country Gentleman.
In Easements of barns bins are ust
ally built like potato bins of Stats, lcav-
ing about three inch openings be-
tween them, commencing about Il foot
above the ground, and another, say
three feet above that, and so on up TO
the ceiling This applies to regularly
built storehouses as well as old base
ments, but there is space left about
two feet wide all around between walls
and bins, and heads are piled in
carefully, not exceeding two and one
half feet deep in bins. so that there Is
plenty of air to circulate all around
the bins. The bins may be made as
wide as convenient to place cabbages
in-say, about four or five feet-and
any length if there is plenty of air.
There should be plenty of windows.
and they should be kept open all the
time when there is no danger of freez-
ing, the best results being obtained
where they have best ventilation and
are not allowed to get chilled. All
modern storehouses have large ven
tilators on the top of the building tc
carry off the damp vapors that arise
and to make circulation.

Rice wheat, while lacking showiness

qualities and, judging by appearance
and quality of seeds, is rated as the
very best among thirty-three varieties
tried.
Kansas Mortgage LITTER yielded more

Turkish Red differs from all the 9th

Director Thorne of Ohio draws the
lesson from some of his experiments
that clover alone will not furnish sufii-
cient nitrogen for maximum crop
yields in long rotations like a five year
rotation of corn, oats. wheat. clover
and timothy and that. while it is not
profitable to add as much nitrogen and
potash as would be indicated by the
composition of the crops, yet we can
not afford TO dispense with them alto
