crop OF alfalfa hay from u seventeen
acre field sowcd two years ago in Sep.
tcmber. During the dry season Of 'ol
the first year two crops were cut when
the alfalfa stood foot high and the hay
was left on the fields "a mulch.
Early in June this year the alfalfa was
cut, yielding two tons of fine succulont
hay. About forty days, in July anoth-
er two ton crop was harvested. The wet
weather prevented cutting the first Of
September but apout the tenth the third
yield OF two tons was cut, some Of which
Was shown at the Fair.
The field now is covered with foot
growth Of alfalfa which viii yield two
tons if the frost doesn't catch it.
Alr. Hall has proved to his own salts
faction that alfalfa growing in Missouri
is money maker, and has put in ten
more acres recently which is up in fine

AN IOWA COLONY conlNd.

Secure Option on Farms.
John Nichols, Of Asbury is authority
for tho statement that colony from
northern Iowa is arranging to come 10
jasper county this winter to buy land
and locate permanently.
They sent representative here to
select twelve or fifteen farms for them
and secure an option on them.
This representative has been in Jasper
township two weeks. THIS township is
in the extreme northwest corner OF the
county and is rich in agricultural land.
1t is in Jasper township John &. Quinn
has such large tracts of lnnd--so large,
in fact, that in one school district % per
cent Of the pupils are children Of MIR.
Quinn tenants. A. u. Callison teach
cs this school. Mr.. Nichols also owns
1000 acres there.
Land prices have been advancing in
that part of the county for the past year.
Farms that could be purchased six
months ago at $40 an acre have ad-
vanced to S25. But even this rise is said
to have not discouraged the Iowa gentle
man and he has been taking options at
that price.
The reason given for the change is the
long, severe winters of Iowa. II their
new location proves satisfactory, their
representative says many more will fol
low them to Missouri as rapidly as they
can dispose Of the land.
An encouraging sequence OF these
land Gales is that name of tho farmers

DEVELOPING THE CALF.
A Few Pointers To StOckmen On
This Question.

A bulletin of the California Expert
ment Station says: The proper growth
aud development ef the calf is equally as
important as the care Cf the fun grown
COW, for good COWS cannot be made out
Of poorly fed calves. Whether the calf
be destined for the dairy or for the
shambles, the true principle is to keep
it in thrifty growing condition until
the end is reached. 1t is not necessary
that the calf be fat--in fact, it is better
not TO be so. Tho feed should be such
as to produde bone and muscle t. form
a strong framework with which to pro-
duce milk or upon which TO lay fat in
the time Of maturity.
The mothers milk, If it be not too
rich in fat, furnishes tho best food for
the purpose, but in our commercial
dairying butter fat can be disposed of at
higher pric, il made into cheese or
butter and substitute offered which is
cheaper. II the calf is to be raised on
skim milk the principal food it shoul
receive fresh whole milk for the first ten
DAYS or two weeks. Then substitute
skim for whole milk, little at first, and
increase gradually until, by the time the
calf is three weeks old, it may receive
no whole milk whatever. As soou as
this substitution begins add a small
handful of wheat middlings TO the IA
ton and increase the quantity gradually
AS the skim milk is increased. Iaduce
the calf to eat dry graia and hay as soon
as possible, and giyo the milk simply as
a drink. 1t will he remembered that
skim milk is highly Ditrogenous, and tc
make il a perfect food requires the add
ton OF carbonaceous material Nothing
supplies this any better than corn meal
but, oN ing TO its high pric', rolled bar
ley may be used, mixing barley, wheat
bran, and middlings in equal parts an'
feeding from one to two quarts per da!

ties, who do not cheerfully comply with
the regulations of the school, and
whose influence is pernicious, are not
desired and will not be retained.
The school year begins with the fall
term. and students will find it to their
advantage to enter at that time and
remain continuously during the year.
Beginning classes in Greek, German
and geometry are organized only in the
fall term, but pupils capable of doing
the work may enter class at any time.
Discipline.
The rules, few in number. have in
view the welfare and rights of all pu-
pills. Students are expected to be
young men and women, worthy of the
highest honor and esteem, who will
faithfully apply themselves to their
work.
The system of school government
which enforces obedience, simply
through fear of punishment, appeals to
mans lower nature. Upright conduct
is. encouraged as its own reward. APP
peal is continually made to the con-

ladies of the Academy to the students
and the people of the village. They are
recognized as being among the most en-
joyable and educative features along
social lines. This, however, does not
sum up the social life of the school.
Attention is given to cultivating good
manners and an easy, graceful bearing
at all times.
Co-Education.
The Joint education of the sexes is,
in this country, no longer an expert
ment. 1t is found that when young
men and women study the same sub
jects and recite together the classes
study better, the young men are more
manly and the young women are more
womanly than when they study in
separate institutions. AT the same time
the intercourse of the sexes must be
placed under certain restrictions, and
these restrictions found necessary in all
schools of the kind, are strictly en-
forced in Keystone Academy,
The Literary Societies.
The Phi Mu Society is an organiza-
ton conducted by the young men.
Meetings are held every Friday even
ing. The programmes consist of es-
says, declama tions, orations. papers,
debates and the practical study OF par
liamentary law. The society has a
large room in the Cottage, which has
been furnished in a very attractive
style, They now enjoy well-equipped
and attractive society home. The liter
airy part of the meetings is open TO the
public.
The Brysnt Literary Society, COM
posed OF young women, holds meetings
with similar programmes once in two
weeks on Friday evenings. They also
have nicely furnished. pleasant So
ciety room on the third floor of the
Ladies' Institute.
Religious Advantages.
The school is opened daily with devo-
tional exercises. The students also
meet in their respective buildings at
. y. IN. for evening prayers.
In additioli to this, branches of the
College Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and Young Women's Christian
Association have organizations here.
Meetings are held weekly Under their
auspices students prayer meeting Is
held every Tuesday afternoon, during

knowledge can compensate for the loss
OF 1T. Students are encouraged to ex-
ercise freely in the open air, when the
weather permits and they have prac-
tice in light gymnastics. Encourage
ment is also given to outdoor sports,
Attention to the ventilation and cleanli-
ness of rooms is required, and frequent
hints on health" are given.
Arrangements have been made with
Professor G. G.. Croft. NJ. D., LII. D.,
formerly President of, the Pennsylvania

ally, before the students, a course of
lectures upon this subject
Social Advantages.
Monthly socials and receptions are
given in the parlors from to 10 o'clock
on Saturday evenings for students and
teachers. A careful oversight is given
by teachers acquainted with the GUS
toms and requirements of refined So

science and to the demands of true
manliness, Every effort is made to
I, form and to maintain a healthy public
and teach proper moral conduct, and
the Importance of obedience TO its
teaching is emphasized.
Order and Punctuality.
Everything has it's time and is done
in its time. Promptness and eXactness,
valuable to the student in after life,
are taught.
II Is recognized that ideness is the
fruitful source of disorder; therefore
students are given plenty to do and
are held to the strict performance of
the duties assigned.
Nearly all the teachers room in the
institution. Friendly visits are made
to students in their rooms, to render
assistance and counsel, and to see that
the rights of students are not infrlnged.
Attention to such things obviates, to
great extent. the need of punishment.
Examinations.
Written examinations in all subjects
are held about the middle and at the
close of each quarter. Each final en-
animation occupies two hours, so that
ample time is allowed for careful work.
Students are required to attend exami-
nations, and any student who absents
himself receives no report for the work
of that quarter. If student is Obliged
tn be absent. either on account of sick
ness OF for any reason which in the
Judgment of the principal seems sufti-
cient, he may take the examination at
such time as he and the teacher may
agree upon and receive his report for
the quarters work.
Reports.
At the close of each term a report of
work and department is given to each
pupil or sent 10 his parent or guardian.
II these reports are not received in due
time, the parent or guardian should
notify the Principal, Parents are ex-
pected to carefully examine the reports.
Letters from parents asking Informal
tion concerning reports, conduct and
the like win receive prompt attention.

KEYSTONE ACADEMY.
Location.


The Keystone Academy is located in
Factoryville, Pa, forty-five miles south
of Binghamton, N. Y. fifteen miles
north of Scranton, and one hundred
and sixty miles northwest of New York
city, on the main line of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western railroad
The place derives its name from
factory which was located there in
1918, but which has since passed out
of existence. The surrounding country
is mountainous and the climate most
healthful. The pure mountain air is
refreshing and invigoratlng. while the
extended views of glens, dales, brooks,
hills and mountains are most charming
to the eye. The village of Factoryville
contains population of about one
Thousand, and is almost entirely free
from the many temptations and evils
of large towns. Students are surround
ed by Christian influences and have the
advantages of excellent religious privi-
leges. In quiet place. removed from
the noise and hustle of city life, the
best advantages and incentives to
study are obtained. The school has an
ideal location.
Character of the School.
The Keystone Academy was founded
In 1858 and is a trust established for
the education of the people in the arts
and sciences. Its doors are open to
young men and young women on equal
terms. 1t is not maintained as a pri-
vate enterprise for financial gain, but
was established by gifts and is en-
dowed with the purpose of making it
one of the best of academic schools.
The principal teachers are permanent
ly connected with the school, and have
had special preparation and experience
IN their departments, while those who
have in charge the direct management
OF the school are more concerned to
secure select number of earnest,
faithful students than to have merely
long list on Its roll.

study of law, medicine or their life
work. 1t Is recommended to those
whose school education will be finished
at the Academy
The Academic or Classical course may
be completed in three years by very
bright and diigent students, but these
courses are also arranged so as to al
low four years for completion, which
is more satisfactory.
The Business and Scientific course,
requiring only one foreign language,
French or German, includes more of
the Sciences and is especially suited to
those preparing for business pursuits,
or purely scientific course in college.
The completion of any of these courses
entities student to the diploma of the
Academy.
The Commercial course Is designed
for those who do not wish to complete
more extended course of study, but to
prepare for a business life in the short
est possible time. The course COM
prises bookkeeping and business forms,
commercial law, civil Government,
arithmetic, English grammar, United
