Success In Poultry Raising.

To make the poultry business pay
four things are necessary. The one
embarking in it must have natural
liking for the pursuit; must ascertain
exactly how much capital can be in
vested in the business; must make a
study of the most approved plans and
methods of starting the enterprise,
both as to the breed of fowls selected
and the arrangements for their ac-
cessible markets and the best man
ner of reaching good customers in
those markets, and then proceed to
work with patience and persistence. In
a modified way the same principles APP
ply to poultry keeping on the farm

BAD ROADS DID 1T.


A farmer OLD, SO we have been told,
With team of horses strong,
Drove down the road with heavy load
While singing a merry song.
But his mirth in song was not very long,
For his horses gave leap;
AS he run amuck, in the mud he stuck,
Clear up to his axles deep.
Bad roads did it.
And wheelman gay went out one day
For joyful, merry spin;
With the weather bright his heart felt light
AS he left the country inn;
But he went not far, when he felt jar,
Which started his troubles and cares;
He was laid up i'll. and the Doctors bill
Came in with the one for repairs.
Bad roads Gid it.
In an automobile. of wood and steel,
A millionaire prim and neat
Went out for a ride by the rivers side
In style that was hard to beat.
But alas! he found that the broken ground
And the ruts and the holes SO great
Had smashed wheel of his automobile;
What he said we cannot relate.
Bad roads did 1t.
But were glad to say there shines ray
OF hope that will right this wrong;
When in every state they will legislate
To help the good roads along.
80 the man with his wheel or automobile
VIII never again get the blues,
And the farmer with smiles will travel for
miles
On road that is fit for use.
Good roads will do it.

The increased use of sugar in the
army ration of the German soldier,
of whom great muscular exertion is
required, makes it apparent that the
masses of the people would be greatly
benefited by it's increased use as an
article of diet. The more cheaply
sugar can be produced by improved
methods of cultivation and manufac-
ture, either from the cane or sugar
beet, the more easily it can be placed
within the reach of the consumer,
and the better it will be for the gen
eral health of the working class and

Merton college is the Oldest of the
20, being founded in 1864 by Walter
de Merton. The statutes of Merton
were model for all the more an
Gent colleges, both in Oxford and
Cambridge. The object of the found
er was to benefit the order of secu-
lar priests, and it's first century was
more prolific of great names than
any similar period in any college.
There is, however, another of the.
colleges that disputes with Merton
the honor of being the oldest of the
Oxford institutions, though it has
nothing more definite than traditions.
upon which to base it's claims. That
is University college, which claims,
to date from 1249, though it's first
statutes date from 1880, and none of
it's buildings We're erected before,
the seventeenth century.
Magdalen college Is classed as the.
most complete of oil the institu-
tions, and it's structures are the
most beautiful. It's walls are ivy
grown and embellished with quaint
emblematic sculptures, and it is sur
rounded with beautiful walks and
groves along the banks of the Cher
well river. It's tower, which was be-
gun in 1892, was completed in 1905,
and is one of the architectural attrac-
tons of Oxford The first of the.
Magdalen college buildings were,
erected in 1913 and have been
changed but little since that time
The college was founded in 1456.
Among other of the Oxford COL
leges are the Welsh college, Jesus,
founded in 1871; Rebel college,.
opened in 1870; New college, found.
ed in 1880; Oriel college, founded in
1924; Pembroke college, founded in
1924; Queens college, founded in 1910;
ST. Johns the Baptist college, found
ed in 1855; Trinity college, founded
in 1855; Wadham college, founded in
1910, and Worcester college, founded
in 1888.

An item in Roadmakinr.

1t is common error in road max
ing to endeavor to secure routes COW
ering the shortest distance between
fixed points. For this purpose the
road is often made to go over hill
instead of around it, A road half
way around hill or through val
ley is sometimes no longer than a
road over hill or through valley.
The difference in the length, even
between straight road and one that
is slightly curved is less than man,

in an earlier day, day when the

The kitchens OF the college are among
the curiosities Of oxford. That Of Christ
Church has been in existence since the days
Of Cardinal Wolsey, and in It hangs a great
gridiron which was used by the cooks OF
the cardinal. In entering it you pass by
the cathedral, which is the chapel Of the
college. You go down stone steps into the
basement, entering a great stone-walled
room, with "A ceiling at least sixty feet
high. At one side OF the room is a fireplace

Pretty Plain Talk.

The oxford Point of View of this month
has an article venturing that the foundation
OF the American scholarships may be a mis-
take. It states that "the Americans are
really our friends very little more than tn
French CT the Germans and goes on to
say that where all sentimental cant has
been brushed aside the friendship between
America and England will be found to be
what Ari totle terms a watery friend
ship" owing perhaps to the intervening
seas. 1t says that the Americans are for
cigners and intimates that they are not as
welcome as the Germans.
The Varsity quotes a speech Of d. l..
Savory Of st. Johns college at the Union
Debating society, the chief one of the uni
verslty, in which he says "the American
scholar would have too much money and
this hulking lout would set a bad example
Of extravaganza"
l might add other opinions, but | regard
the most OF them as mere froth and am
prone to believe that the majority OF the
professors and students here are inclined to
be fair, and that when the young Ameri-
cans do como they will be fairly treated. 1t

II is difRcult to get an unprejudiced view
Of the Rhodes bequest and Of the effect il
will have upon oxford. There are a large
number Cf students ami professors who d
not welcome this form of the American in
vasion. The newspapers Of the country
have pretty we'll discussed 1t and Their,
seems to be a < neral fear that 1t will
shake up the dry bones Of the university, t.
the discomfort e the easy-going pc pie
who now occupy it. At present about 600
students graduate from oxford every year
and Of these three-fourths take honors.
The konors are of different grades and il
will be strange II the Americans, picked
men as they will be do not get more than
their proportionate share. | believe that
the students are really afraid OF them and
this thought is strengthened by the un-
pleasant things said about us and the
Rhodes bequest in the several college mag
azines. | have before me the chief period
icals Of this week:
The isis" refers insultingly to America,
saying, among other things: 1T must be
confessed that to many Englishmen, and
particularly oxford men, the scheme is un-
palatable to a degree" The editors laugh
at the idea Of the American papers assert
ing the hope that no American will accept
a dollar Of Rhodes furnished gold,' and
adds: This seems an absolute jest in the
mouth Of the American who too frequently
adopts the Horatian motto-'Get money
honestly II you can. but get it'-and who
applies the principle no less thoroughly
to his foot ball matches than to his stock
jobbing transactions"
Further on the Isis suppos,s the Ameri-
can character will be improved by an Eng
lish education. and that this improvement
will be beneficial to us, but It adds that II
does not suppose the rubbing the angles

One of the most common forms OF enter

lunchCons and wines. There were thirty
luncheon parties last Sunday in Christ
