Mrs. I. j. Hough entertained
thirteen boys today at an elab-
crate four course dinner in
honor of her son Willie's thir-

been great profit to the institution.
 The agricultural building, which was given by the John F. Slater fund, makes new feature in the institution in the line of teaching agriculture, dairying, horti- culture and other branches of industry along that line.
 Work assigned to young women is laun- dering, domestic science, In the line of housekeeping, cooking. nurse training and the fine arts, such as dressmalxing, plain sewing and millinery.
 A canning factory Is one of the features and this has proven remarkably success ful, giving employment to a number of women and children. Even the cans are made by the students. The training here received is bound to prove valuable to the fruit growers of the south.
 Gardening, horticulture and flora cul- ture receive special attention.
 Bee culture, poultry raising and silk 1, culture are speeialties, though the latter Is only now in an experimental stage
 Stock raising-horses and mules-is re- ceiving particular attention and the insti- tuition owns about 15O head, some of which are highly valued thoroughbreds
 Agricultural Experiment Station.
 In 1896 the state legislature of Alabama provided by enactment for the location and establishment in connection with this
 
 and appropriated $500 annually for this purpose. It Is provided by said act
 That the trustees of the said Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute shall fur nish for the use of said station and school all the necessary lands and build ings, and that for such use they shall make no charge gainst the state of Ala bama.
 That the board of control must cause ,such experiments to be made at said sta ton as will advance the interests of sci entific agriculture. and to cause such chemical analysis to be made as are requested, to be under the supervision of the commissioner of agriculture, by the chemist of the agricultural department without chnrge.
 That said board of control may adopt such rules and regulations as they may deem necessary for the. purpose of carry ing out the provisions of this act so that the colored race may have an opportunl- ty of acquiring intelligent, practical knowledge of agriculture in all it's various branches.
 That 1t is the purpose of this act to appropriate to the support of the expe- riment station established by this act; the sums appropriated in this act are ap- propriated only for the purpose of nlain- taining and operating experiment stations with the view of educating and training colored students. as herein named, in sci entiflc agriculture

tive offices now have place in a new building.
 Olivia Davidson Hall-A three-story, brick structure, the greater part of which is used for dormitory purposes for young men. It also contains reel tation rooms and the office of the com mandant of cadets.
 Science hall is a handsome, three-story brick building, with recitation and well equipped physical and chemical labora- tories on the first floor, recitation rooms on the second floor, and sleeping rooms for young men in the third story. It is one of the best arranged buildings on the grounds, and well suited for present uses.
 Cassady hall Is now used as a dormi- tory for young men. A large sum of money has recently been spent in trans forming 1t into a nicely arranged dor mitory
 Alabama hall contains rooms for teachers and most of the girls The dining room for both teachers and stu dents, and the bakery, are in this build ing. Alabama hall is a substantial, four story brick structure. Near it are Ham ilton cottage and "The Annex" both used for dormtory purposes for the girls and their teachers.
 Huntington hall is the gift of Mrs c. P. Huntington. It contains twenty-three rooms, with basement and attic, and is also used as a girls dormitory. It is built of brick, and is two stories high.
 Rockefeller hall, a boys dormitory building. has been completed during the current year. It is three stories high, brick with bath rooms, lighted with elec- tricity and heated with steam. It Is used exclusively for dormitory purposes, pro- viding for 160 young men.

The Tuskegee institute bank and the branch government postoffce is also located therein. It is two stories high with attic.

of the quiet unassuming young Negro man from Virginia, Booker T. Washing ton. for the purpose of establishing a school for the industrial education of boys and girls of his own race, his object being to civillze and uplift the Negroes l who dwell in the heart of the Black Belt, according to the gospel of labor. The in- stitution was established under the name of the Tusgekee State Normal school by an act of the Alabama legislature in 1Ss0 and an appropriation made of 5000. The school was opened for it's first ses- sion, July 4, 1884, in a rented shanty church, with thirty pupils in attendance, and with one teacher. In 1883 the state appropriation was increased to 5000 and in 1893 the institution was incorporated under the name of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. During the first fession of the school the present location, sconsisting at that time of 100 acres, with &three small buildings thereon, was pur- chased by northern friends of the insti- tuition.
 From the small beginning, under the present energetic and worthy effort of Prof Booker T. Washington, the progress of the great work has been wonderful, and today the following is a pen-picture of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute:
 Property and Valuation.
 One hundred and seven buildings, of which uumber twenty-one are handsome brick structures.
 Two thousand six hundred and thirty one acres of land.
 Twelve hundred head of live stock.
 Sixty-fve wagons, carriages and other vehicles.

and cheese There are twenty-six male pupils receiving instruction daily-both scientific and practical-in this depart ment, and it's aim is to turn out persons who are able to go out and take charge of d frst-class dairy.
 Truck gardening is taught very exten- sively, also horticulture. The institution aims, as near as possible, to supply itself with vegetables, fruits, etc., raised on all of its land Besides the plots that are used for truck gardening. the institution owns an 800 acre farm about three miles from the school site, where large grain for feeding stock, sweet potatoes, peas and sugar cane is raised on a very large scale. In fact, the. syrup used in the in- stitution this year was raised on this farm. Hog raising is made specially and is very successfully done. The insti- tuition has about 400 hogs and pigs The hogs have been fed wholly on acorns, bought in the early fall to the amount of 800 bushels from people in the country and swill that accumulates from the boarding department. Hog raising has

fattening value, measure per measure, as that of corn. Now, two crops of sunflow- CTS may be grown per year at about sixty bushels ger acre, so one may readily see the value of sunflowers over that of corn.
 The third experiment consisted In test ing the fattening value of iacorns. The school owns about 400 hogs, all of which are being fattened and prepared for the table solely on acorns and kitchen slops, except so much corn as is necessary for cleansing and solidifying the flesh, and for several weeks the acorns have been fed with great success to milch cows and it is found that they possess wonderful feeding value, and have no detrimental effect on the milk and butter. It is hoped to fatten the beef almost, if not wholly, on acorns.
 Much attention has been given during the past year to growth of best forage plants, and quite a number show consid- erable promise. Crimson clover has done and Is doing exceptionally well, and as fine is grown on these grounds as in the east or west. Orchard grass, Bermuda, chess or cheet, has made most excellent winter pasture. Red closer, sweet clover and alfalfa have done quite well here on the limited areas of the school grounds. Quite an extensive series of tests will be made upon these this year.
 Cotton is cultivated on the farm lands ,of the institute only in an experimental way, and corn is grown only in small quantities and for use in it's green state in the silos for stock-feeding,s The small CT grains and the grasses receive most attention.
 Acorns to the Front.
 Speaking of the use of acorns as a food crop for hogs. Professor Carver states to the writer that when he heard of the old plan of the southern planter in turning out his hogs to feed upon
