FARM BOY AND COLLEGE.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat discusses
the boy and college as follows:
Should the boy who is and wants 20
continue to be a farmer go TO college?
That depends on the boy, but, ninety
nine times out of a hundred, yes. What
shell he study? The very thing he is to
uBe-farming It is a mighty good plan
20 fit boys for the life they will live.
T have before me a little pamphlet tell
irg about our state agricultural college at
Columbia. This college had Its origin in
the beneficence of our national and state
government Its object is to mt boys for
lives of happiness and usefulness on the
farm. Dairying. horticulture, veterinary
science. entomology and mechanics are
the principal courses offered.
A thorough course in the handling Of
milk and butter and in the feeding and
care of the dairy cow constitutes the
foundation of the work in dairy hus-
bandry. In the laboratory the milk is
tested. the cream is separated and ripen-
Ell and made into butter. always under
the careful supervision Of the professor
in charge.
The horticultural department has splen-
didly equipped laboratories and a large
experimental orchard. and this equipment
makes 1t possible TO give thorough courses
in commercial and farm orcharding. The
proper methods of planting. cultivating,
pruning and marketing are systematically
considered. Landscape gardening, the
identifying of home grounds and noricul-
ture are prescribed subjects in the agri-
cultural course.
Veterinary science Is considered with
special reference to the prevention of
disease and the hygienic treatment OF
farm animals. Emphasis is placed on the
prevention and treatment Of the import
ant contagious diseases, such as cholera
biackleg, CHAMBERS, tuberculosis, Texas
fever. etc. Veterinary clinics are held in
which the students are given opportunity
20 perform simple surgical operations
Sufficient knowledge Of systematic en-
tom slogy IS given TO prepare the student
for idenuncation of ordinary injurious In
sects The insects which cause SO much
damage TO farm crops and garden crops
are the subjects of special study and
methods Of combating their ravages are
emphasized The principal methods Of
prevention and treatment of the insect
diseases Of animals are also explained.
Agricultural students receive special IN
struction in carpentry and blacksmith
ing. The shops are splendidly equipped
and the training thus SECURED in these
subjects constitute one OF the most valu
able features OF the whole course. Such
an education is OF inestimable value Il

The COW demonstration proposed as one
feature of the Worlds Fair cattle ex-
hibits at st. Louis next year has been
definitely arranged, and on a much broad
er scale than anything of the sort here
tofore attempted. 1t has been designated
as cow demonstration. because, while
not in any way neglecting the dairy test
idea developed at former worlds fairs,
1t is Intended to illustrate in a compre-
hensive way the practical adaptabilities
of the pure-bred COW. The strictly dairy
breeds are given opportunities to make
e large showing, while features not in
the least conflicting with their privileges
enable the dual-purpose and beef produc-
ton. This means a demonstration rather
than a competitive test, and will enable
each breed participating to show its own
peculiar advantages

JUIcINEss IN CHICKENS.

It has become quite fad with writers
on poultry to state in regard to the
breed discussed that their flesh is juicy,
or more juicy than that of any other.
This IS plainly an infringement on the
hereditary domain Of the cook, for the
dryness or juiciness of the cooked chicken
depends more upon the skill of the cook
thap any popularity Of the fowl

POULTRY COMFORTABLE.

The fact that eggs are produced much
more freely in warm than in cold wealth
er shows that warmth has more to do
in this matter than food. If you have
not been getting eggs during the past
winter it is because your poultry house
was not properly built TO protect your
fowls.

HOW TO FEED MEAL.

A poultry journal says: Meal should
be fed dry, since it causes disease when
FED wet A common dung hill rooster
has more sense than the author of the
above quotation, especially as to chicken
feeding. declares the Farmers Advocate
Meal should never be fed dry to chickens
old or young, because it is wasteful and
irritates the breathing apparatus as Is
shown by their sneezing to clear the pas
sage Of the troublesome particles.

MANAGING SWARMS.

II increase in colonies is what you want
you need not expect any amount of sur
plus honey. 1 only use the first swarm
for the making of honey and the parent
colony for making the increase in divid-
ing into from two to four nucleus. First
I would let the old colony swarm once
and hive them from the tree or bush
they decide TO settle on and would be
careful not TO give them any honey until
late in the evening II II be a time when
no honey is coming in. as It would cause
serious robbing and perhaps the loss of
the swarm.
If honey is coming in you need not
give much honey, as swarm leaving the
parent hive will carry enough honey with
them to last until the next day. when
they can gather more if the weather is
good. but If not they will need feeding
l am not in favor of hiving swarms until
the honey flow commences. which should
be now. Then in six or seven days after
the first swarm comes out go to the old
colony with as many empty hives con-
tanning comb as you desire TO make.
Each nucleus should have two good
frames OF brood and bees with one or
more good queen cells on. Give each nu-
cleus honey enough 10 last until they
get strong enough TO gather their own
living. II this is done in the first part OF
the swarmins season all the nucleus so
made should be strong and in good shape
TO go nto winter quarters. IL they have
had honey to keep them rearing brood.
The first swarm should be the one 70

have supers. or set OF upper story

But II honey IS what you are working

but cut out the queen cells every eight
days. which does not seem 10 stop work

then went west on his hunting and ranch
ing experiences In 1856, the first real
reform of recent years in New York
City started. 1t was Root who proposed
the mayoralty nomination for Theodore
Roosevelt. and aided much in securing
it. Together they made a great fight,
but the president was defeated-the only
time he ever was defeated. Two years
prior, in 1884. Root had assisted Roose-
Welt to become one of the delegates-at-
large to the national convention that nom
mated Blaine for president. When the
second reform movement in New York
City succeeded in 1895, Root secured for
his young protege the position of police
commissioner of New York City, which
did much to bring the future president
favorably before the public at large. The
president had then been for six years
in 1859 by President Harrison. In 1897,
Roosevelt returned to Washington as
assistant secretary of the navy and again
made a record. In 1898 he went TO war,
with the Rough Riders, and in 1898, Roo:
again had chance to help him when
he was nominated for governor Of New
York Root went as a delegate to the
convention. and made a famous speech
for his friend. In 1900, Root suggested
to President Mckinley the availability of

and regret.
