Purdue UntverSitv
Purdue University was organized
under the Land Grant act passed by
Congress in 1862. John Purdue gave
the institution $4,000 and 100 acres
Of land upon which it is now located.
On account Of this gift, the state legis.
lature in 1869 gave it the name of
Purdue University. Since then the
area has been increased by 30 acres.
The university is in all senses a pub
lie institution, and tuition Is free to
the young men and women Of Indiana.
Greek and Latin are not taught, the
institution retaining its first char.
acter Is an agricultural and mechan-
ical college. It now embraces six
special schools as follows: School Of
Mechanical Engineering, School Of
Civil Engineering, School Of Electrt-
cal Engineering. School Of Agricul-
ture, School of Science and School of
Pharmacy. Ths annual income con-
sists of $4,000 from the United States
government, $65,OO0 from the state
government and about 100000 from
fees. The total income last year was
about $152, 900. The buildings r val
ued at 1851, 900 and the equipment at
$298,000, The library contains 10000
bound volumes and 5000 pamphlets.

The time has gone by when spraying
of fruit trees is considered a task that
can be successfully performed by any
novice. When fruit, growers first real
lied that their trees must be sprayed 1t
was currently supposed that any hired
man could. take q spray pump Of any
make and cover the trees with a spray
solution destructive to the insects and
fungi. but harmless to the tree itself.
This belief was the cause of the many
failures that were, early recorded
against the operators. Spraying is now
recognized as a science. and all of u
agricultural colleges are teaching how
to do the work correctly. The advice Is
now given, "Do not trust an inexperi-
enced man behind the nozzle Of q
sprayer.. Most Of the men that spray
are mere bunglers at the business. hav-
ing no complete conception Of the great
principles underlying the operation.
Spraying Ia rapidly becoming a pro-
fession. and we predict that 1t will not
be long before men skillful In spraying
trees will be in demand both in the
city and country. It IL becoming evil
dent that the owner Of a small orchard
can better pay an expert owning his
own apparatus to do the work than to
himself invest in an outfit and trust
his own experience.

A RAT-TRAP EXPOSITION.
Queer Kind of an exhibition just Closed
1T Copenhagen.

Queer Kind Of an Exhibition just Closed
1T Copenhagen.
The first International exposition of
rat traps recently closed at Copen-
hagen after a most successful display
of rodent discriminating devices. AS
might have been supposed in such a
momentus affair, America would not
be overlooked, and 1t is equally GER
tain that Yankee ingenuity would be
suitably recognized in gold-medal
awards. AS a matter Of fact, two gold
and one, bronze medal actually did go
to American exhibitors. In. all these
were 100 sovereign exhibitors, to whom
five medals were awarded in addition
to the American awards, while all the
makers Of rat traps In Denmark, as
we'll as numerous inventors, took this
unusual opportunity to exhibit their
c~ontrivances. Rats have become such
a pest in Denmark, as we'll As in Swe-
den and part Of Germany, that an ex-
position was decided upon as the only
adequate way in which the public
could, be made acquainted with the
latest appliances. That it wal no sec
ond-class exhibition is proved by the
royal. patronage Of Price and Princess
Christian Of Denmark and the visit of
an official representative Of Germany,
Count Schwerin. Preparations for this
curious gathering had been. undeC way
for over three years. It wase Gran
lied by the committee for. the a
tional determination Of rats in Dem
mark" which for a number Of years
has carried on a crusade against the
rodents. The most successful mea
ure has been the payment Of bounties
amounting to about 3 cents for every
rat killed. In the course of eighteen
weeks 100000 rats were destroyed in
Copenhagen by the bounty claimants.
Sweden offered a similar government
bounty beginning March 1 last, and in
five months 100000 rats have been
killed and paid for in Stockholm alone.
The alarming multiplicity Of rats is
evidenced by the record Of some Of the
smaller towns in Denmark, where rs
many as five rats per inhabitants have
been destroyed in less than two years.

all nurses were bold and forward
creatures, not at for Ted{to meet" Be-

of a man who had married his nurse,
and didn't that prove that all MEM
bers Of the profession take advantage
OF q mans weak and susceptible con-

Notes.

Reports from crop correspondents
indicate that the dry, clear weather
which has prevailed largely during the
past month In the states Of the middle
West has been very favorable to the
maturing Of sugar beets and some
other crops. particularly corn, which
in many localities is giving q larger
yield than was expected. Much Of
the crop wa cut before frost caught it
and the universal testimony is that Q
larger amount has. been shocked and
saved for feed than ever before.
The dryness of the soil has prevent
ed the completion Of fall seeding and
proved unfavorable to termination
and growth Of early sowings. particu-
larly in Missouri. where little more
than half the usual wheat acreage has
been put in. Hessian fly and chinch
bugs are an additional Of delay
to Illinois. Ohio and Michigan farm
ers. In the state last named the area
sown to wheat this fall is 20 to 40 per
cent less than average.
Correspondents continue to report
light crops of potatoes In Ohio and
central and southern Illinois. Irish
potatoes in Kentucky are very poor
and in Missouri the late crop Is prac-
tically a failure. In northern Illinois.
Wisconsin, central and southern Mich
igan and South Dakota, though the
crop will be considerably below a full
average, yields are much better than
were expected, al stubers have made
good growth during the past two
months. Northern Michigan has q
good crop, the yield averaging 113
bushels to the acre.
There has been some improvement
in the pastures Of northern Illinois.
Kentucky, northern and western Mis-
souri, and some portions of Ohio.
Kansas and South Dakota pastures are
generally good and in the state last
named the range west of the Missouri
is pronounced the best in years. AS
haying is still in progress in that
state, live stock are likely to have an
abundance. Of feed for the winter.
Pastures in southwestern Ohio and
central and southern Illinois are short
and poor. ~
Concerning tobacco. Kentucky o r
respondents report a splendid, crop in
the dark tobacco districts of western
counties, all Of which has been housed
and is curing well. The Burley tobac-
CO Of the blue grass district is nearly q
full crop, but some Of 1t was cut too
green and on that account Is curing
badly. Ohio tobacco was housed in
good condition. but as in Kentucky
some of 1t was cut prematurely to
save it from. threatened frost.
The South Dakota fax crop is light
to fair, with a considerable percentage
Of damaged seed.
The Illinois crop Of broom corn has
been harvested and reports concerning
1t are favorable.
Relative to apples. Missouri reports
iniieate that great improvement has
been made and that the principal ap-
p~le-growing counties will harvest a
COCA crop; in Kentucky ssYY,,e trees
are yielding very lightly ara In some
counties there is no crop; in only a
few counties in, Ohio will there be a
fair. crop Of winter, fruit; Illinois re-
ports continue unfayorable, as fruit is
still falling; the crop Of eastern and
middle Kansas is reported good.

MISS Stewart had perfect contrib of
herself and Of him.
During the next year Ted worked
as he had never worked In his life.
and during the last six months the
Importance and the ir%regularity OF his
engagements completely mystifed the
family. The mother understood. She
had been the confidant Of "a frenxied
son during the SIX months Miss Stew
art had sternly forbidden him to call
or to write, $50 you can forget me It
you want to, and / shan't seem to my
self to be taking advantage" When
he explained to his mother that Miss
Stewart had done work in the world
and he had not. SO he must make him
self worthy OF her, the mother could
only mutter bitterly to herself,
Worthy Of a nurse!" When, however,
she watched the spoiled boy come into
his manhood and heard him pro-
nounced q rising young lawyer, the
bitterness lessened.
The announcement Of the engage
ment was a painful occasion to the
family. Ted.s remarks. when he
caught Cousin Lizzie's "a nurse to get
him after ALI" were in no measured
terms.
"will she manage you. Ted?" Alice
asked after the storm.
II hope SO, Lal." he answered. as he
pulled her curls. "You, too, I guess"
The family discussions thereafter
turned into "reminiscences Of Miss
Brooks charms and reflections upon
the danger Of trying to avert another's
fate.
Miss Stewart never understood why
her friend, Miss Brooks, greeted the
announcement Of the engagement with
such rapturous delight.

quality and the Market.

(From Farmers Review Special Report
At the recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Pathological Society. Mr.. Garfield
Of Michigan spoke on the relation of
quality Of fruit to the market. In part
he said:
The taste Of the people should be
catered to- II they like Concord
grapes they should be given Concord
grapes, regardless Of whether the
growers think them the best grapes or
not. The growers Of fruit are small
in number compared to the number of
the consumers. and there is no reason
why the few should not try to grow
the kind Of fruit the many want.
We should, however, try to get as
much quality as possible into our
fruit, SO that people will increase their
consumption of them. We cannot ex-
pect to increase the consumption of
fruit IT, we try to satisfy the present
demand by giving the people the Kief-
fer pears and Angouleme plums. The
prime consideration is good quality,
Some Of our small growers especially
are putting much time and effort into
producing fruit Of good quality.
Professor Waugh-What do we mean
by quality? By it one man means one
thing and another another. A fruit
commission man calls that a fruit Of
good quality that locks well, keeps
we'll and sells well. But what most Of
us refer to by quality is its taste.
This quality 10 a hard thing to obtain
and at the same time get hardness and
large f%ruitfulness. !
