has never been altered IN all of the
1874 years since it was built. The
walls, doorways and windows are ex-
ectly as they were nearly two cen
turtles ago. The inside of the old
hall has suffered a great deal of
change. At first II had many small
rooms, not much larger than cells,
for there was need OF economy in
space. After the battle of Lexington
the students occupying Massachu-
sets Hall we're sent to Concord and
the American troops occupied the
hall. In recent years Massachusetts
Hall has been user for society meet

has not been used as a dormtiory

LocUsTIN NORTHERN IOWA AND
MINNESOTA.

c. II. N, Huston, Minn.--There is
quite a difference in the adaptability
of trees to the climates of the eastern
and western portions of southern Min
nesota and northern Iowa. The honey
locust reaches its furthest north in
southeastern Minnesota, and can hard
" be considered satisfactory in south
western Minnesota, although IL will
hold on in that section for many years.
This is a rapid growing tree. the tim
Der Of which is durable and desirable
for posts. The yellow or black locust
however. follows the Mississippi val
ley up as far as, or perhaps little
further north than Minneapolis, is a
much harder tree than the honey
grower and more desirable for general
planting in shelter-belts and for posts
in Minnesota. In growing either of
these trees the seed had better be
obtained from near its northernmost
limit The pods that contain the seed
generally remain on the trees during
the winter In the case Of the honey
locust. l think the form known as
1Inermis.' which has no thorns, il
much the best to grow. This is
found in some places along the Des
Moines river in Iowa. The seed should
beatreated with hot water, so as to
cause it TO swell, just before planting,
otherwise only a small per cent of il
will grow the first year. In planting
this tree tS.sk the best way to do is
to SOW the seed in nursery rows, and
then transplant when they are one
year old The seedlings should be
carefully protected the first year, as
they are somewhat tender when very
young

MiLIET HAY.

Hungarian grass and the millets are
heavy yielders, but judgment should
be exercised In their use as feed.
Many serious results due to their use
havc been reported from different
states. so that much has been written
tending TO show their absolutely poi.
sonous qualities. Professor Bailey Of
the Cornell Government Experiment
Station says that when properly fed
millets may be used without danger,
and are valuable. Animals not accus-
toned 20 green foliage should not at
first be allowed full feed of any
green crop, but should be given only a
part ration of the green material.
Much of the value of millet seems 10
depend upon the time of cutting,
which should be soon after blossom.
ing. II is generally advised to feed
some other coarse fodder when millet
hay is fed to horses. Millet for hay
should be sown by July 4th at least.

KNOW THE WEEDS.

This is more important than Il
seems at first sight. Not until far
mer learns something about the
weeds on his farm; their life, habits
and the injury they are doing, will he
be interested enough TO try and eradi-
cate them, says Prof. l.. r. Waldron
of the North Dakota station. The
quantity of weeds upon many of the
Indians farms in this state is notori.
Gus, and il is here that we find the
knowledge in regard to weeds. and
consequently the interest taken in
their removal, at its lowest ebb. It
is when we find the weed question be.
coming part of his moral life that
we have great hopes for the future of
that mans farm. This can come about
only through the channel of education.
An observing farmer learns in two or
three years the weeds that are most
abundant upon his farm, also those
that are doing him the greatest
amount of damage, He can also
learn the names of these upon inquiry,
or they can be sent to the experiment
station, where information cor corning
them will be cheerfuly furnished. A
piece of land is infested with a Ger
tain kind of weed which becomes more
abundant than all other kinds. The
method of rotation the farmer is using
increases rather than decreases the
weed If he knows the appearance OF
the seed, he will quit sowing grain
containing the weed seed. An exam
pie came under the writer's observa-
ton some time ago. A piece Of land
was infested with wild morning glory
or bindwecd. This weed is a peren-
NAL and spreads by means of deep
seated underground stems. The land
has been seeded for several years in
such a way as not to hinder the
growth of this weed. BY the middle of
Jure the morning glory had almost
complete possession of the field and
from that time the wheat crop was
doomed. Had the farmer known this
weed and the nature of il a few years
ago he could have gotten rid of it
without much trouble, whereas the
land is practically worthless and
large amount of labor will be neces-
sary to exterminate IT. If every far
mer knew the Canada thistle on sight
and kept sharp lookout for it, many
of the thistle patches could be gotten
rid of easily. but the plants become
deep-rooted after four or five years
and difficult to eradicate.

FARM NOTES.

&. In the make up of a successful
breeder of horses patience plays an
important. part.
One reason why creamery butter
sells at SO good price is because of
its uniform quality.
Hogs are so prolific that it takes but
a short time 10 establish a herd from
single trio.
A horse appreciates comfortable
fitting harness as much as he does a
properly fitted shoe.
To attempt Improvement from de-
generate sires is usually found to be
a short-sighted policy.
Three times as much water is requir'
ed by a COW when she Is giving milk
as when she is not
To obtain the best results farm
work must be done in the very best
manner, and at the proper time.
While considerable number of
hogs may be fed together, breeding
stock and young pigs should not be
crowded.
One advantage in raising good
horses Is that they are one product
that the farmer is able to set his own
price on
With pigs Il is of more Importance
that the dams be more matured than
the sires, yet full grown sire is
preferable.
A mar may be number one breed
er and still have poor success bring
ing his stock TO the attention of the
public and selling.
Under what may be termed aver
age conditions, one bushel of corn is
worth nearly three bushels of oats
as food for fattening hogs.
Good digestion is the result of feed
ing enough TO sustain the animal bat
not enough 10 keep the stomach in an
overloaded condition all the time.

Three-fourths of all the hay made
is cut too late Instead of cutting in
the period of bloom the grasses are
allowed to ripen and the main part Of
the nutriment they contain is carried
to the development of the seed, and
about all that is left in the stalks is
woody fiber, almost totally lacking in
nutritive qualities. One might almost
as we'll feed to his stock wood so far
as nutrition is concerned. On late
trip to Northern Missouri we were
surprised to see so many meadows
standing uncut. Certainly more than
one-half of the feeding qualities of the
hay has been lost by this delay in
making hay. These meadows should
have been cut month ago. II is a
great loss TO the farming community
and a loss TO the consumers of hay to
delay to this late period the import
ant matter of harvesting the hay crop.

1888 and left his library OF 26O vol

Two years later the first president of

might not be true of the buildings

them combine both utility and beauty.

days, was built in 1872. and IL stood
alone in the college yard until the

William Stoughton. In the year 1918

CURING AND STORING CLOVER

In making clover hay some pains
must be taken to prevent a serious
loss. The leaves OF the clover viii
dry much quicker than the stems, and
if the hay lies spread on the ground
until the stem is dry. the leaves viii
be lost. The best plan is TO rake Il
up just as soon as it is thoroughly
wited, and put il up in not too large
piles, where it will cure in good
weather i'm from "a to SO hours. 1t IL
not a good plan to let it stand too
long before hauling it into the barn.
It may be a little tough. and apparent.
~ too wet TO keep in the NOV, but II
there is no rain or dew on il, It will
suffer no harm if packed closely in
the haymow. DO not throw open the
barn doors 20 let in air. Keep the
air away from it. and there will be
no white mold or musty hay when
removed. The theory % throwing
open the barn doors to admit air to
hay has long since been exploded. II
is no longer practiced by modern hay
makers. Some farmers salt the hay

to salt the stock by hand as often s.

but the old name of Stoughton was
finally given to it. Stoughton cost
$4,000 and three-fourths of this sum
was raised by lottery authorized by
the state. Stoughton has thirty-two
rooms, and among the men of note
who have occupied some of these
rooms in the past have been Edward
Everett Hale, Phillips Brooks and
Horace Grey.
Holworthy Hall was built in the
year 1872, and again funds were
raised by a public lottery. II was
named for Sir Matthew ,Holworthy,
an English merchant, who had left
the college $4,000 by will in the year
1878. There are "a suites OF rooms
in Holworthy, the suites consisting
of a study and two small bedrooms.
The visitor to Holworthy may see
room u, which was visited by the
Prince of Wales in the year 1860,
and in the year 1871 the Grand Duke
Alexis also visited this room. Both
of these royal personages presented
pictures of themselves to the hall,
and these pictures hang in room IL.

and Robert Gould Shaw lived in Hol-

The present Harvard Hall took the
place of the hall of the same name
destroyed by fire in the year 1864. 1t
was built in the year 1866 by tho
province of Massachusetts. 1t was
here that Washington was received in
1883, and there are many historical
associations clustering around the old
hall, which is now used for lectures
and recitations and contains several
reference libraries.
Memorial Hall is the finest build
ing on the campus. 1t was built as
q memorial to the boys of Harvard
who fought in the great civil war and

of the college. The hall includes a
great dining room, a meeting place
for the alumni, and its cost up to the
time it was dedicated in July, 1873,
was $685. S4, and many additions and
adornments have been made since
that time. At one end is the great
Sanders Theater. given by Charles
Sanders and occupied for the first
time on commencement day In 1876.
The halls of Harvard are filed with
a small army OF college boys and,
with their fun and frolic, most of
them are there for the purpose OF fit
ting themselves for the serious duties
of life. From these halls have gone
forth some OF the greatest and most
useful men America has known, and
Il is only the pessimist and the soured
cynic who believes that no more such
men arc to come forth from the halls
of Fair Harvard"

Especial Correspondence.l

The Pilgrim Fathers builded better
than they knew when, on Oct. ., 1896,
they passed the following vote in the
General Court: THE Court agree TO
give G400 toward a school or col
lege, whereof 5000 shall be paid the
next year. and G200 when the work
is finished, and the next Court to APP

This vote met with the approval
Of Gov. Henry Vane and his success
or, John Winthrop. Et was voted that
the proposed college be established
at Newtowne, and in the same year
the name of the town was changed
to Cambridge because many Of the
colonists had been educated in Cam
bridge in England, and the American
town was given the name of the Eng
