HoLwoRTHY HALL.
Historical Incidents Concerning q Build
ing at Harvard University. a

Ing at Harvard University. q
w rooms are to be let in Efolwor-
thy Hall at Harvard, with big bonuses
offered for the takers, which offer tells
something unheard of in the century's
history of this old hall. Since 1912,
when the famous hall was put I'D, there
never has been a room to let. Now
men who hold two rooms are Offering
bonuses to get rid of them. In this
hall some of the most famous men who
have attended Harvard have lived.
Once its rooms were let to seniors only.
Up to last veal no freshman was al
lowed to apply for a room there, and
though some freshmen had lived there,
1t was by error only. The hall was
the prize hall of the college. Others,
more luxurious. with better convent
ences and more comforts, had been
Dullt. There were many that cost
more, but there were none so popular.
Never has a Holworthy room been post
ed on the official bulletin board long
enough for the ink to get dry. Holz
worthy stands across the north end of
the old yard at Harvard. 1t is a plain
brick building, with a slightly tilted
roof, four stories high, without orna-
ment or break. 1t is oblong, with
small, sixteen light windows, and is
divided into three entries, with eight
rooms in an entry. The rooms are so
arranged that big square studies are in
the front of the building, and from
these two room bedrooms open run
ming through to the rear. In. two of
the entries the rooms have light on
three sides. It is these large rooms
that have made the place a favorite for
a century. Formerly men of wealth
lived here. A suite that cost $3.50 was
too steep for the average undergradu-
ate seventy-five years ago, Rooms
were to be had for from $50 to $50 then.
Matthew Holworthy, an English mer-
chant, left in 1878 to the college or
university in or of Cambridge in New
England $1,000 for the "furthering of
learning and PRONUNCIATION of the Cos
pei in those parts" 1t was not until
the early part of the century that the
work was begun. President Kirkland,
the head of the college, didn't have
money enough to put up the building,
so a lottery was opened, and the pro-
ceeds supplied the balance of the fund.
1t was finished and opened in 1912 by
President Kirkland.-New York Press.

Managing Young noars.

AS it is now time to use young bears,
for the benefit of young breeders | will
give my method of managing them.
The young boar should be put in a lot
by himself, entirely away from other
hogs, as he will fret too much and not
eat enough If allowed to u nea
otner hogs. Some times it is good to
put a pig or two with him for COM
pany and for an appetizer. Often a
young boar that is a little tasty about
eating will eat better IL there is q pig
or two with him; he will eat his feed
to keep the pigs from getting it--hog
like. Then the young boar should be
frequently handled; if he is not tame
he should be confined in a small pen
so he can't get away, and rubbed and
handled to get him tame, and then
let him out in his lot; and he should
be taught to drive and to know his
master. He should be driven from
his lot to the breeding lot and back,
so that he can be driven anywhere and
handled like a bull. We have our boars
all trained so we can drive them any
where and handle them as we please;
and they have to be broken to handle
when young. He should have a good
warm bed and plenty of pure water
and have free access to wood ashes
and salt. The feed should consist of a
variety of food. The best feed would
be shorts and skim MIX, supplement-
ed with pumpkins and sugar beets or
finely cut clover hay with a little corn.
Now for breeding: Every breeder
should have a breeding lot or house,
with a breeding crate. A very cheap
breeding crate can be made by making
it six feet long and two feet wide and
three feet high; nail a few cross Stats
across the front end of the crate. two
feet back and leave the balance of the
crate without a top. Then make a
bridge three feet long and two feet
wide and five inches high; put this
bridge at the real Of the crate. After
the SOW is put in the crate put a rod Of
iron across the crate behind the sow
to keep her from backing out. Then
let the young boar serve the SOW and
then return him to his own lot and let
the sow remain in the breeding lot or
house till she goes out. unless the lot
is needed to breed other sows. The
young boar should be allowed to serve
a SOW but once, and he should not
serve over three or four sows per
week. The young boar should be we'll
fed and kept growing all the time. In
this way he will get strong, healthy
pigs.-Old Breeder.

THE EAST GAINS.
Causes OF Changes in Population During
a Decade,

0SN0P
In summing up the results of the
last census DR.. Albert Shaw says in
the Review of Reviews: THE period
from 1870 to 1880 was marked by the
great development in population Of the
rich wheat and corn lands that were
still open to settlement under the
Homestead and Presumption laws in
Minnesota, Iowa, Western Missouri and
contiguous regions. In the period from
1880 to 1890 there was a rush still
further west into the Dakotas,, Mon
tana, the Puget Sound country, west
ern Nebraska and Kansas, Colorado
and southern California. The period
just ended, from 1890 to 1900, has been
especially marked by the growth of
manufacturing population in the older
states. Thus New jerseys gain of
80 per cent has been principally due to
the growth of manufacturing towns
and Of the Jersey suburbs of New
York city. New York's gain of more
than 20 per cent is accounted for large
ly by the growth of the great metropo-
lis at the eastern end of the state, and
of Buffalo and its commercial and in
dustrial environs at the western END
Northern New England has gained
very little, and would have lost decid-
eddy but for the immigration of French
Canadians and others. Massachusetts
has gained about rs per cent, which is
evidence enough that her manufactur-
ing prosperity is not a thing of the
past. The gain Of little Rhode Island
in ten years has amounted to twice
the population of the state of Nevada.
Connecticut has now COS, 900 people,
and has gained 1852, 900 in ten years.
This growth, like that of Rhode Island
and Massachusetts, is due to manufac-
turing progress. There would seem no
reason in the nature of things why lit
tie Delaware should not have more
people than little Rhode Island; yet
Delaware has not quite 1876, 900, while
Rhode Island has more than 42S, 900.
Manufacturers make the difference"

The Englishman has found death in
his pot of beer. 1t appears that some
of the brewers have been "trating" the
national drink with sulphuric acid
made from iron pyrites, which con-
tains arsenic, and that the poison has
passed with the sulphur into the brew
ers' sugar, a product of starch, in guam
tity sufficient to produce serious con-
sequences and widespread alarm.
Many cases of alcoholic neuritis have
been traced to this cause in Birming-
ham, Liverpool and Chester, and nearly
800 are reported from the district Of
Stafford alone, of which sixty-one have
proved fatal. The growing use of min
eral chemicals, In the preparation of
foods as well as of drinks. may
threaten civilization with a new brood
of diseases.

Alarm without batteries.

A new variety of electric fire alarm
has been produced in which no bat
teries are used. The system is intend
ed for small towns and cities and is.
very thoroughly worked out. In each
alarm box is a masneto machine, SINH
lar to that used in connection with the
telephone as a call bell, which is con-
nected with a powerful clock spring
through appropriate Gains and levers
so that when the box is opened by
means Of a key the armature Of the
magnetic machine receives a definite
succession of short, quick half-turns.
Each of these sends out ove the cir
cult in which the box is connected an
impulse of electrical current which
may be Of considerable power. This
is received in the usual way on gongs
and registers.

Range Horses in Wyoming.

J.. B. Sparks of Greenriver, Wyo.,
in discussing Wyoming range horses,
is quoted as saying:
81 cannot say how the supply is cast
Of Wyoming, but in that state as well
as Utah, Oregon, Idaho and Washing
ton l find fewer animals than last year.
You see, when buyers come out to the
ranges, as they are doing now, they
clean out about everything in sight
from the ranchman, make a contract
for the whole business, colts, mare and
stations, with the result that some of
the smaller owners haven't got enough
horses left to run an automobile; in
other words, have sold everything.
They are generally stocking up again
from the big ranches, but neverthe-
less the drain Is heavy, and l think is
in excess of the breeding. The range
grass is not extra at present, but horses
and sheep are both in Sood condition.
In Idaho l think they have had more
rain, and a better season, on the whole,
for live stock than they have had for
years."

Modern science is extremely exact.
The engineers who have been consid-
ering the problems arising out of the
proposed Nicaragua canal provide for
a waterway nine inches deeper than the
draft of large ocean steamships. The
reason is that as fresh water is not
SO dense as the water of the sea, a yes

horticultural observations.

Something should be done by repu-
Of orchard trees lot true to name. One
man mentions, in an exchange, that he
ordered a large number OF winter va
rieties of apple trees, and among them
only ten summer varieties. When the
trees came into bearing he found that
he had 225 trees of summer varieties.
This is very discouraging TO the plant
er of orchards, and it reacts on the
nurseries. If the farmers were sure
always of getting the trees they buy,
they would plant far more extensively
than they do at the present time.
A western fruit grower tells a new
plan for stopping the formation OF
wood in the fall. He deals with prune
trees principally. He says: The
scheme was to twist the limbs so as to
break the wood and not crack the
bark or break the limb off-so as to
check it's growth and not let it bleed.
Inis, Mr.. Porter says, would permit
the limbs to grow in thickness and not
in length. This was done in August.
l note the effect and believe it would
be beneficial for all trees that grow
SO tall and spindling to twist them
back in season SO as to permit the
wood to mature and the body to grow
before the winter sets in. This treat
ment is not expensive and the effect
can be noticed by anyone trying it.
Last season 1 tried it on a few trees
and the effect was marvellous. l can
now go and cut just below the twist
and give the top a perfect bell shape,
being careful to twist them properly"
= .
The people that advocate the plant
ing of apple trees along the roadside
are very philanthropic-by proxy.
They are willing that farmers and
other men interested in the growing OF
fruit should purchase trees at their
own expense and set them out to grow
fruit for the public. But we know in
what manner such philanthropy is re-
paid, AS soon as the trees get large
enough to blossom the limbs are bro
ken off by whoever comes along, for
the sake of having the bloom-laden
branches in the home for a few brief
hours. What is left of the tree ulti-
mately bears fruit that is picked be-
fore ripe by some man who is afraid
if he leaves it some other man will get
it. The public, in such cases, ruth
lessly plumbers and destroys. The man
that has set out the trees can hardly
be expected to go to the further ex-
pense of putting a guard over them
Moreover, fruit trees set by the way
side are, in this country, almost in
variably set in sod, and are uncared fol
in the respect of cultivation. The
farmer cannot afford to spend precious
time %cultivating trees that are to beal
fruit for others, nor can he afford tt
spread around them manure that ht
needs on his fields. Altogether the
idea of setting out fruit trees by the
roadside is not n that appeals I'd
the men thaS understand all the cir
cumstances Of the situation.

GOV. GAMBLER MIsLEADs PUBLIC

Theirs has been great amount of
splitter made by one the Atlanta pa
pers, criticising the cold bloodedness
of some of the Macon politicians who
exhibited undue haste IN applying for
the Sollcitorship of the Macon
circuit made vacant by the
death of the lamented Hope
PolhilI. Governor Gambler was report
ed as very emphatic, as he usually ap-
pears to be, in his denunciation of the
want of decent observance on the
part of the brother lawyers of the dead
solicitor And the Governor was quot
ed as saying that he most certainly
would go out of Macon to find Solicl-
tor to fill the vacancy, but did the Gov
ernor do what he said? Not much
The Atlanta Constitution, the Govern
ors personal organ, IN commenting
upon the various candidates who were
after the dead mans shoes, says:
"There is one thing, however, that
has pleased the Macon people greatly
and that is that Governor Gambler
turned down every man who was after
POlhill's official shoes before his body
was placed in the grave [ am told
that Brunson was not an applicant for
no nj hot E.
the position was due to Governor Can
dler's fine sense of propr1ety The gov
ernOr was loath to give the Office to any
man who opposed Polhill and was
equally loath to give it to any man who
came begging for it before the dead
man was buried SO he gave it to a
man who was PolhilI's friend and who
was mourning over the victims body
while others were begging for his
| shoes. Governor Gamblers action IN
this matter has done a great deal to
make him popular IN Macon"
Mr. Brunson might have been mourn
ing, just as the writer about town of the
Constitution reports But the Times
Recorder does know that his law part
ner, Judge A L. Miller, and his next
friend, Judge w D. Nottingham, did go
to Atlanta IN person at the earliest pos
sible moment after PoIhill was cold in
death, and then and there did make
application to Governor Gambler to APP
point Mr. Brunson to the vacancy, and
Governor Gambler made the appoint
ment IN time for the Monday morning s
papers to announce Mr. Brunson as
PoIhilPs successor.
Mr.. Polhill was buried Sunday after
noon, and it would seem that his sue
cessor was determined upon by the
Chief Executive of the state before the
dead was under the sod. In all truth
it is not matter to wrangle over, but
it is time Governor Gambler and his or
gans should cease trying to stuff the
public Truth and honesty of purpose
should always come from such high
sources.
