It is high time that hazing, now
80 common in colleges, should be
stopped. A citizen in New York
has inaugurated plan which, if the
court does its duty in the premises,
will establish q precedent which if
followed, would put an end to the
barbarous practice. His son, while
at college, was pulled out Of bed on
o very cold night by a number of
students. He was not allowed to
dress and with no clothing on but
his night gown was compelled to
run the gauntlet and beaten as he
ran. The boy finally fell from ex-
haustion and became i'll because Of
his brutal treatment. The boys
father appealed to the college auth
critics, who refused to take any ac-
ton against the perpetrators OF the
outrage. and the1eupon he brought
action for $4,000 against the col
tlege for the injuries sustained by
his son. We fully agree with the
Des Moines News, when, referring to
this case it says: "a legal prece-
dent is needed, and it is to be hoped
the New York case will make it. II
the trustees of an institution are held
responsible in damages for the in
juries sustained by q pupil during
the hazing process, the crusl prac-
tees will be stopped. A college ia
the last place for the teaching OF
brutality. Young men are not sent
| TO schools to learn to be savages."

The farmer pays but little atten..

to it, and has not good judgment as
to whak it will do for him. A few
years ago neighbor had a fine four
year old Guernsey bull that he want
ed to sell to prevent inbreeding.
All that the stockyard people in this
city would pay for the animal was
$40. We told him that the stock
yard was no market for breeding
animals. The men to sell that kind
of stock to were the men who want
them for breeding purpose. We
suggested a small advertisement in
the "Dairyman," but when we told
him it might cost him $500 he
took fright at once. He could not
look beyond that five dollars. Final
ly we coaxed him to try it and he
received bushel Of letters finally
selling the bull for $40, and he had
to send back several drafts to those
who were too late with their money.
He made $25 by investment or 500
per cent. Last autumn we had 400
bushels fine two rowed Bavarian
barley to sell. All the buyers in
this vicinity would pay was 55 cents.

What the Farmer Should Learn.
Portland Oreeonian.1

The farmer must learn to place a
cash value upon his own time and
labor and know where they are ex-
pended and what results they pro-
duce. He must learn to think of the
dairy COW as machine for manu-
featuring clover, ETC., into milk-a
machine that will do its best work
when kindly treated, sheltered from
storms and fed balanced ration.
The small plots of idle ground
should be made to produce some
thing that will sell in the market or
supply the family table. The waste
products of orchard, garden or grain
field should be turned into pork,
mutton or poultry, while everything
that can serve no better purpose
should, if possible, add fertility to
the soil. Rotation Of crops should
make summer following unnecessary
and $40 worth Of apples should not
be lost for the want of 81 worth of
spray.

Dairy Notes.

1t is a surprising fact, when one
comes to think about it, that the
Danish farmers can outclass us when
it comes to supply the English mar
ket with butter. The Danes are
farning,on land which isworth $500
an acre, while we are beginning TO
complain of high prices when land
values go up to $75 or 800 per
acre. After all, would it not be well
for us to draw a lesson from the sue
cess Of the Danes and conclude that
high priced land and the dairy in
dustry go well together? One Of
the secrets of success Of the Danish
dairymen is the fact that they CO.
operate. These people are running
cooperative creameries, CO operative
establishments for selling eggs and
co operative slaughter houses.
From September IL to September
25 is the time when dairy tests and
beef tests will be carried on at the

interested in cattle, that will be an
opportune time to attend the fair.

city who had each half dozen or
so nice Jersey and Guernsey calves,
to advertise them. Answers came
from a dozen states, and they all
went in a bunch to purchaser in
Idaho. Farmers don not often enough
try to cooperate in the way. Some
ltody must come along and urge
them to do it. Good profit can oft
en- be made on products Of the farm
like seed, grain, dairy cattle, we'll
bred pigs and fowls by advertising
them in a good farm paper, and es-
pecaally in local paper. The pap
er is go-between and should be
used more more than it is.-Hoard's s

A vital Point Of Difference.

7. F. Baer, president of the Read
ing railroad, told the interstate COM
merce commission the other day
that the price of anthracite coal was
not fixed SO much by the cost ofmin-
ing and transportation as by the
willingness of the consumer to pay
what was asked. And to the attor-
ney who was questioning him he
added: "You sell your legal lservices
in the same way, presume. The
important difference between the
two cases is that the size of the at
torney's fees is regulated by COM
petition, while there is practically a
monopoly in the anthracite coal busi-
ness. Apparently Mr.. Baer doesn't
realize that the failure Of COMPETE
tion to regulate certain monopolistic
holdups is one reason why there is n
trust problem in the United States.

Before setting the hens, be sure
to prepare clean nests for them and
see to it that they are free from lice.
If you are troubled with eggs that
are not fertile, look about and see if
your hens are getting enough exer-
else and plenty Of wholesome food.
They should run with vigorous
males.
The hens that lay the golden

Glass on the Face of the Dead.

In order to preserve the features
Of those whohave died it is proposed
by a Russian to embalm corpses by
casting around them solid mass Of
glass. This would be perfectly
transparent, and as no air could get
in the features would be preserved
indefinitely. Of course, it is not
possible to pour molten glass direct
ly on the body, so it is first coated
with a thin coating of so-called "liq-
uid glass;" OF codium silicate. This
is allowed to harden and forms a
protective coating. The body is
then put in mold and melted glass
poured around it. When this is
hardened we have a solid, transpar-
ent mass inclosing the body. The
inventor Of this process hopes that
some day we will have a large mus
cum filled with the perfectly preserv-
ed bodies of the great men Of their
times for future generations to gaze
upon.-C Collie,'s Weekly.
