Age No Barrier.

That age is no barrier to scholastic
attalnments Is frequently demon
strated. 1t often happens that mer
who enter university at the age wher
most students graduate, make better
records than their fellows, Perhaps
1t is due to ripened Intellectual pow
ers, perhaps to the fact that they work
harder and more earnestly and waste
less time. Such a case was that Of
DR.. Phillip Arthur Reppert, who was
recently awarded the Benjamin Rush
medal for the highest scholarship dur
Ing the last four years at Rush Medl'
cal College. He was selected for the
honor from q class of 227. Two years
ago Mr.. Reppert won the Freer medal,
1t is the first time in the history Of the
institution that one student has won
both medals, DR.. Reppert was form
erly a railroad man. For ten years
he was train dispatcher on the Bur.
lington road, afterwards becoming
dispatcher and tralnmaster on the
Union Pacific. When five years ago,
at the age Of SS, he sought entrance
to Rush Medical College, the dean
feared he would not be able to keep
up with the classes and advised him
to take q years preparatory course.

Things Quaint and Curious

| pest, This necessity comes to him
because his father married for love
and not for rank.
When Archduke Ernest chose
wife he selected Hungarian girl OF
common rank. He bought an estate
in Carinthia and he and his wife lived
there in retirement from the world.
A few years ago the Emperor, in
recognition of the way in which the
archduke had kept the disgrace OF
his marriage for love from the world
at large, conferred the rank of barol'
ess on his wife, who thereupon as
sumed the name Of Wallburg' The
imperial decree made no mention Of
her children, but it was assumed that,
as in all cases of morglnatic mar
riage, they would inherit their moth
er's rank and title.
Archduke Ernest died in 1899, and
his wife followed him into the grave
d few months later, but the Austrian
authorities refused to acknowledge
their eldest son as Baron Wallburg
On the contrary efforts were made
by the legal representatives OF the
Austrian court TO deny the legality OF
marriage on the ground that no mem
Der of the imperial family can con-
tract a matrimonial union without
the Emperor's consent.
Baron Wallburg was "a when ne

PREPARING Orchard Land,

An orchardlst of large experience
says: The general work Of preparing
the land for planting an orchard con.
slsts in deep filth, and the more thor
oughly 1t is done the more certain is
success The preparation had best be
done late In the fall, when it will be
ready for early spring planting or for
fall planting II preferred. Many sue.
cessful ochardists, especially In the
Western states, prepare the land by
opening with a heavy pillow a furrow
where the rows of trees are to be set
and then back furrowing the space be-
tween them, making a land section
with tree row in the center. This
method affords a deeper filth under
the trees, and, at the same time, sur.
face drainage into the opening and
finishing furrow midway between the
rows, which will receive and, II prop.
erly graded, carry off any surplus
water which may accumulate from
heavy rainfalls

When Corn Is Too Expensive

When Corn Is Too Expensive.
Bulletin 81, Montana Experiment
Station: 1t may appear to those from
the corn belt that the inability to
grow corn In most parts Of Montana
is strong argument against the busi-
ness Of swlne.raising. In peas, how
ever, we have an excellent substitute
for corn. Bulletins "a Of the Utah
Station by Mills, and 3S Of the South
Dakota Station by Chilcott, both re-
port peas superior to corn for fatten-
ing swine, Barley is reported by the
famous Danish pork producers to be
the best single grain for the produc-
tion of high-grade bacon. Director
Henry of the Wisconsin Station gives
the following comparison between
corn and barley as pork producers,
vix.:
All pounds OF barley meal produced
100 pounds of gain.
435 pounds of corn meal produced
100 pounds Of gain.
Wheat-The results Of several sta
tions show wheat and corn to be
nearly equal in pork producing value,
with very slight advantage in favor
of corn.
0ats-According to Henrys Feeds
and Feeding" the Massachusetts, Sta
ton reports that 20 per cent more oat
feed than corn meal was required to
produce 100 pounds Of gain. Oats are
more valuable as an adjunct to tighten
heavier rations than when used alone.
Rye-The results Of comparative
work show rye and barley to have
about equal feeding values. These
acts tend to prove that our grain
'oods are exceptionally well adapted
% pork making, and at the same time
he use Of these is greatly facilitated
" the possibility Of a continuous sup
,ly Of heterogeneous forage crops during
long growing season, and by root
rops In the winter.

Scientists and practical orchardlsts
are generally agreed on the great value
of well.rotted barnyard manure as
the best for an apple orchard, says q
government bulletin. 1t not only sup
plies humus, but 1t contains large
per cent Of other necessary nutrltive
elements for maintaining health, vigor
and frultfulness Of tree and develop
ment Of qualities for fine fruit prod
uct. But as the stock Of this sort Of
manure Is not always sufficient for the
general demand, other agents have
to be reSorted to- and next In value
and in a concentrated form are I'm.
leached wood ashes, which will supply
to a great extent the necessary ele.
ment of plant growth. 1t is maintained
by some authorities that one ton Of
unleached wood ashes contains as
much plant nutriment as five tons Of
ordinary barn manure, and whenever
obtainable ashes should DO used In
preference to any other fertilizer.
There are many kinds Of manufac.
tured fertilizers, some Of which are !
valuable for special soils, but to de.
termine Just which brand to use Is q
little difficult to decide without know.
ing what elements are lacking In the
soil. The three elements most com.
monty deficient in soil are nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid, and chem.
lcal fertilizers that contain the largest
per cent Of these substances will be
the most economical and beneficial.
A fertilizer containing one and half

Clean Or Dirty MIX.


Some dalrymen think II they do no
get a good price for their milk at the
creamery that the fault lies with the
creamery; but the patrons produce the
butter, the creamery only separates 1t
Patrons should not forget that the In
terests Of the creamery and their own
are the same. Dairy education has
benefited creamery operators more
than 1t has the patrons. The state
ment was recently made by one Of our
best informed dairy and creamery men
that-"Milk does not come to the
creamery In SO clean a condition to,
day as 1t did twenty years ago." Be-
fore the day of the separator, milk was
not accepted unless 1t reached the
creamery in fairly good condition.
Now, II 1t is not sour enough to clog
the separator, 1t Is received at the
weighcan Of many creameries. When
every man made his own butter on the
farm and sold 1t himself, he came into
closer touch with the trade and was
more particular about the clearly
methods Of Its production. Since the
creamery has come In between the
milk producer and the butter market
there Is a tendency to become more
careless in the production of milk.
When milk Is delivered In poor con.
lition at creamery or cheese factory
no butter or cheese maker however
skilled can make the best product
rom It, If all Of the patrons but one
bring milk that Is clean and in good
condition, the man bringing dirty milk
;poils the whole.-Prof. Wilbur J
