Stirring Display at Port Arthur.

London, January l6.-Under date of
January 10. the Port Arthur cores
pondent of The Times says:
Gen. Nogi, attended by his stan, the
divisional commanders and foreign
attaches, reviewed detachments of all
arms in the new town square to-day.
There was stirring display. The gene
rails afterwards marched through the
town, which shows few signs of bonn
bardment. No casualties occurred to
women or children who lived in the
houses through the siege. Champagne
was always obtainablo. There was little
dysentery or typhus, but much scurvy
owing to the lack of vegetables.
1t seems that Gen. Stoessel was re-
sponsible for the failure to fortify Roju
hill. Many of his military officers were
useless, applying for leave on occasions
of attack, and leaving their commands
to sergeants. The naval officers were
useless and generally drunk The whole
navy was demoralized by the death of
apathy. At a conference preceding
capitulation some of the fort command
ers voted for further resistance, but
they were overruled by Gen. Stoessel.
When capitulation became public SOL
diers looted stores of 5000 bottles of
vodka, resulting in terrible orgies in the
streets. Troops sent to quell the dis
turbance joined the revelers. The food
supply was sufficient to last three
months, but there was no meat except
horse flesh. No private stores were
seized. The steamer King Arthur
brought 5000 sacks of flour early in
December.

MaklaE An - Farmsf.

The time wSs in the history Of Mis-
souri,, when 20 send a boy to colleg,
was to spoil a farmer and run the risl
of making something else Of him. But
education then mean a knowledge Of
books that had practically no bearing
upon the problems Of production.
To-day, to educate a boy is to fit hin
10 get the most out Of the life he ex.
poets to live. The boy who expects to
be a farmer is educated best when he
has learned thoroughly the problems
that will confront him as a plain,
practical man Of affairs, living upon
his own farm and c~ullivating his own
soil.
1t is from this standpoint that the
Missouri Agricultural College APP.
proaches the problem of education .
Students are given practical work in
every subject. For example, in stock
judging, horses, cattle, sheep and
swine are brought before the class.
The state farm in connection with the
college is supplied with choice animals
and excursions are made to successful
feeding and breeding establishments
and to noted stock farms. In this
way the young farmer obtains a work
ing knowledge of sto~ckjudging.
In veterinary surgery the same
methods are followed. Each Saturday
afternoon surgical operations are per-
formed and diseases trea. ed before the
class.
In horticulture, the orchard and the
garden are as far as possible made the
class room,
In dairying, instruction is of the
same practical sort. In the afternoon
all dairy students work in the dairy
laboratories. They do all kinds Of
work necessary in a factory, such as
weighing and sampling milk and
cream, pasteurizing cream, ripening
cream, with or without starters, churn-
ing and working, packing and printing
butter tor market.
It is clear that to educate a boy in
this way is to take no risk of spelling
a good farmer and making a second
rate professional man.

One Of the Memories Of James 6. Blaine

Blaine was a wonderful orator +;
which, after all its abuse, and after all
the poor results attained by men who
are always talking, is n Of the great
est gifts ever bestowed. The following
is the closing paragraph of Blaine's
GRAFTON on Garfield, delivered in the
House of representatives February 27,
1882:
"Gently, silently, the love Of a great
people bore the pale sufferer to the
longed-for healing of the sea, to live OF
to die as God should will, within sight
of the heaving pillows, within sound
Of Its manifold voices. With a wan,
fevered face, tenderly lifted to the
cooling breeze, he looked out w~istfully
upon the oceans changing wonders;
on Its far sails; on its restless waves,
rolling ehoreward to break and die
beneath the MONDAY sun; on the red
clouds of evening, arching low to the
horizon; on the serene and shining
pathway Of the stars, Let us think
that his dying eyes read a mystic
meaning which only the rapt and
parting soul may know. Let us believe
that in the silence Of the recedlng
world be heard the great waves break
ing on a farther shore and felt already
upon his wasted brow the breath Of the
eternal morning"

Missouri as a Corn State.
OhIllIch othe ConstitutIon.

Chillichothe Constitution:
In the seth annual report of the
State Board Of Agriculture of Missouri,
Secretary George B. Ellis brings ouI
Missouri's proud position as a corr
state.
The states OF Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri and Nebraska produce
on an average of 80 per cent Of the
corn crop of the world and 81 per
cent Of the corn produced in the
United States. These statistics are
based on a ive-year period, 1899 1908.
For this same period Missouri
produced 6 per cent OF the total crop
of the United States and 16 per cent
Of the total produced by the five states
named.
In the yield per acre Missouri
outranks all the corn producing states
except Illinois, and would beat the
Sucker state if the Missouri mineral
belt could be excluded from the
statistics and only the corn belt SON
sidered.
For the years 1902, 1908 and 1904
the average acreage in bushels Of these
states was as follows: Illinois, S5.S;
lows. SO.s; Missouri, S2.5; Nebraska,
SO.S; Kansas, 25.5.
The average acreage for the whole
United States was 26.3.
In 1902 Missouri's acreage was SO
bushels, a greater average than that
of any other state.
Corn is the great staple Of Missouri,
representing a value greater than all
other farm crops combined, Hay
comes second in value.
