Agriculture and Dairying.

Iho OdlI
Immediately following the winter
holidays, the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallis, will give free of charge
two popular short courses of iustruc-
tion-one in agriculture, the other in
dalrying. These courses consist chiefly
OF lectures by specialists from the Fac
ulty and from abroad, combined with
work in the laboratories, where stu
dents have access 10 the apparatus of
the College and Experiment Station.
The lectures are designed for busy men
and women who desire to advance with
this progressive age, but cannot avail
themselves of the full four year course
OF instruction; hence the courses of
lectures will come at the most conye.
nlent season of the year for combining
pleasure and recreation with profitable
study. Those familiar With the short
course system of lectures speak of it as
a rare opportunity for practical men
and women to familarize themselves
with the more salient points touching
their business, and to gather such gen
eral information as will enable them to
live that higher industrial life possible
to every farmer and housekeeper.
The instruction, which is simple, is
adapted to the literary attainments of
all; hence no educational test is re-
quired for admission to either of the
courses. The schedule of lectures will
be announced in due time.
The course in agriculture will begin
January 9th, and continue ten davs.
Some of the subjects TO be discussed
are Horticulture, Plant Breeding Bac-
teriology, Chemical Elements, How
Plants Work, Budding of Plants based
upon Plant Culture, Hints on Farming,
How to Conserve the Fertility of the
Soil, Drainage, Soil Moisture, Rose
Culture, Veterinary Surgery, Rotation
of Crops, Roadmaking, Fertilization
and How to Make the Old Farm Pay.
The course in dairying will commence
January 2l, and continue six weeks.
Students will meet for work six days OF
the week. The mornings will be de.
voted to practical work in dairy rooms,
two days will he devoted to butter max.
ing, two days to cheese making, and
two days will be spent in the dairy lab
oratories. In the afternoon of the davs
except those devoted to cheese making.
lectures and recitations will occupy
two or three hours. The lectures will
treat of Soil Chemistry and Physics,
Feed and Feeding, Dalrying, Bacteriol
ogy, Breeds and Breeding, and Chem
istry of Dairy Products.
There will be no fees except the
breakage deposit of three dollars.
This deposit is intended to cover break
age OF glassware in the laboratory, and
the actual cost of material used hence
part OF this fee will be returned in
case OF no breakage. Books will cost
about three dollars. Rooms with board
and lodging will cost from SO to $3.50
per week.

UNJUST CRITICISM OF
GOVERNOR pOCKERY,

The present Governor OF Missouri,
like all men, no doubt has bis faults
and short comings, but among them
is not that of faithlessness TO the in
terests OF the people. 1t is not ex-
aggeration to declare that no Cover
nor In the history OF the State has
struggled more persistently and stub
bornly to secure economy In the ex-
pendlture of the public moneys. He
has laid himself open TO the charge of
parsimony In his efforts to enforce re-
trenchment in the operation of the
State government and OF the different
State Institutions until thtre have
been those who have declared him to
have exceeded the prerogatives Of his
office In these directions, says the
Columbia Herald.
He vetoed, during the last two gen.
eral assemblies, more bills involving
the expenditure of money and tending
TO increase the peoples burden, than
has any Governor In the history OF
the State, and he incurred resentment
from members Of the Legislature for
his continued recommendation Of leg
| islation imposing taxes on franchises
and upon beer and whisky, whereby
many thousands of dollars have been
added to the State revenues.
1t is not improbable that underly-
ing and behind the assaults now being
made upon him are grievances in
Cured by his strenuous activity in
protecting the public credit and In
securing the imposition OF taxes upon
the liquor and other big Incorporated
interests.
The States credit was never higher,
its institutions we're never so literally
supported and while this is true every
dollar of Indebtedness has been paid
off during his administration. For
all this he deserves a large share OF
credit.
While there has been Doodiing In
certain quarters, not breath Of sus.
picion attaches to him or to any men,
ber OF the executive department OF
which he is the chief.
These are plain and stubborn facts
worthy to be considered by some OF
those thoughtless and unconsiderate
newspapers and critics who are at
tacking him for outrages committed
In St. Louis over which he could
haveino possible control.
Let not the partisan calumnies Of
Republican newspapers mislead Dem
ocrats In unjust asperation OF an hon
est and faithful Democratic governor.

New Burlington Route.

From the Martinsburg. Mo-, ENTERPRISE.
II. B. Scott and j. A. Elliott were
in town last week and made us a
pleasant call. The gentlemen are
buslly engaged in promoting the
growth of the different towns along
the line of railroad and are doing
some very extensive advertising In the
northern and western states. The
advertising matter explains the di-
rection followed by the road and the
towns passed through. The Burling-
ton certainly passes through the most
beautiful country to be found in Mis-
souri,. 1t is expected that trains will
be running regularly some time in
June. II win be short line from
Kansas City to ST. Louis and will be
used as a fast passenger road, and ex-
cellent time will be made between
these two points. A large force OF
men and teams are now rushing work
from Old Monroe to st, Charles and
the road is paying good wages to men.
Those contemplating moving along
this .line can learn all about 1t by
writing to j. A. Elliott, Bellllower,
Mo, who has been given charge OF the
advertising department.

CORPSE sCARES ELEVATOR
MAN OUT OF HIS WITS.
He Loses Control Of His Car and
Mixes Up the Quick and
the Dead,

CINCINNATI, Apri 26 William G
Isaacs, a stenographer Of Chicago. at
the Morgue to-day Identified the body
OF the man found dead yestciday Ia
the Columbian Hotel ais that Of his
father, Isaac lsaacs, machinist, Of
Chicago
Owing TO the narrow and abruptly
winding halls OF the hotel it was found
impossible TO convey the body on a
stretcher from the room in which 1t
was found, SO the dead man was set
upright In chair and carried to the
elevator in that position.
Eugene Sacre, the man in charge OF
the elevator, did not get full under
standing OF the situation until ali
were aboard, Then he caught a
glimpse OF the white face and rigid
form Of the occupant Of the chair and
the shock made him lose control OF
the elevator, which dropped for three
floors before Sacre recovered his senses
sufficiently to bring 1.-THE car to the
regulation speed, and then the eleva-
tor was stopped with crash which
threw the passengers, including tbe
corpse, in a heap on the floor and
alarmed all In the building.
