In Breeding Up Farm Animals
Mr.. Gwaltney advanced number of
good ideas. Pc said that the idea
that two pure bred animals will make
a pure bred animal is false impress
sion, from the very fact that their
power to transmit their good quail
ties causes them to be at war with
each other and prevents their blood
from uniting and producing animals
of unit orm character. As thu result of
this antagonism of good qualities the
bad qualities of the two are reproduce
ed. The idea that a pure blood is the
result of mating half breeds is mis-
take also, said Mr.. Gwaltney. The
only way to breed he said, is to
breedup. This should be done by select
Inc the best female and the pure bred
male.
Mr. Lockridge spoke briefly OH Con-
tinuous Growth-the Law Success. In
speaking of plant life he said that
enc requisite for.continuous growth is
plenty of water around the plants.
There shonld be so percent. and we can
get AZ per cent The first way to get
this is by early spring blowing, as
there is more water m the earth in
the spring than at any other part of

Friday Evening.

W. R. Polk, of Tobinsport, made a
good talk on Horticulture. He laid
stress on the fact that Horticulture Is
of special Importance to the farmer
and that the farmer should know how
to do his own budding. The greatest
need for advancing the knowledge of
this branch of husbandy is horticul-
tural societies in every community
to teach the farmers when and how
to spray. The dry spray, he said.
is preferable and the universally one
year-old trees are the most profitable.
Mr.. L)cKridge, in speaking on the
Farmers Golden Opportunity, COM
psreb the opportunities of the farmer
of today to the struggles of his fore
fathers, when the forest had to be
cleared and other difficulties over
come, and many sacrifices made.
After Mr.. Lockridges talk, Miss
Verna Allen, of Tobinsport, sang The
Songs We Used to Sing, in very
creditable manner. Next two essays
were read, one by Miss Ethel Carr, of
Derby, on The Best Crop on the Farm
The Boys and Girls, and the other
by Miss Mary Frank, of
Tobinsport, on How to Eliminate
Drudgery from Farm Work. Both
were well prepared and showed care

do justice to them it would be necess-
airy to publish each one in foll. When

MAKING THEIR OWN WAY.

The hopeful characteristic of the American colleges

education get it, if he wants bad enough The truth of
this being demonstrated clearly than before
There is complaint that the poor boys chances to
get ahead in the world not what they used to be- This
not borne out by the facts in any department of life
Since the beginning young have worked their way
through colleges Poverty has been no bar.
The growth of the practice indicated by the report of the
Secretary of Columbia College committee employment of
students from which appears that Columbia students during
the ast earned $3l 4O1 increase of $4,000
their earnings for the year before.
The number of vacation workers this year nearly 10
per of the entire university attendance The occupations
engaged in ranged variety from truck driving the opera

What the wageearning student loses from the college
he makes practical application of his talents to the
real work of life He is better prepared perhaps to step into
his chosen occupation when college days than is the
fellow student whose has heen made and who knows
nothing of the difficulties to be encountered
The boy who works for his education learn, what edu
cation for and places it in its proper prospective in his view
of life

Friday Morning Session.

This session was opened with the
song, my Country lis Of Thee :,
which was followed by the invocation
by Rev. Abel Powell.
The first subject. The Pasture, was
assigned to Philip Smith, OF Prospero.
Mr. Smith said that it is a poor bust
ness to winter more lean, common
stock than one has pasture provided
for In the spring. Plenty of spring
pasture, he said, is beneficial, becaus.
poor cattle go begging in the market,
crowd out the better cattle, and cur
tail prices. The pastures is undoubt-
eddy blue grass sod and the longer
1t is the better. Not much should be
expected from an old field unless you
give II something to make it produc-
tive
A. o. Lockridge. of Greencastle,
Ind, in speaking on The Fertility of
Our Farms, gave his plan for OBJ
tanning such. He depends on nature
as far as possible to keep up. the fer
tility OF bis farm. In the fall he sows
wheat and then clover in the spring
He keeps his manure in a compact
form, TO prevent loss of strength, and
finishes up manuring with eiover,

ing fertility up through the soil. roots

is necessary 10 have blue grass and
this he sows ON his worst land. One
good way to get fertility Of sill is
for the farmer to Keep his land in a

j. Fl. Gwaltney, Of Poseyvills,
came next with Cod Clover Crops

important thing, he said, is to secure

The best time to SOW, he said, in
when the earth is frozen just enough
to be honeycombed, carly in the
morning, because the seed goes rolling
into little holes and are covered up
by the soil when it thaws. An impor-
tant thing during wheat harvest is to
cut the stubble as high as possible
so as to leave plenty of mulch to feed
the clover during dry weather. But
the most impor' at thi ng at this
time is to cut the clover blooms with
the mower, because clover stops grow
ing when the bloom is matured and
there is period when 1t rests. When
the plo m is clipped there is oppor-
tunity FOR more root growth, which
prevents heaving up. II manure Is not

by mulching poor points with straw,
