pigs. These seemed to be all they
had, though they advised us to raise
stock and cattle. These were all we
could find.
Then to the chicken yards. Well,
there was not feather of chicken
in the yards. They said they had
gone out of the chicken business, but
they told how to raise them at a
profit.
Then to the experiment ground.
They told US how TO save our ground
by terracing it, but we found theirs
all broken and badly washed-worse
by far than ours ever gets to be.
Then we next came to the flowers.
Of course they were all around the
professors houses and nowhere else.
Then to the farms. They claim one
hundred acres in one bottom. 1t is
in the worst fix of any corn we saw
between here and there.
Talk about appropriations, two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
doesn't hardly keep the yards Of the
professors in good fix, so the farms
are neglected. Then we come to
Agricultural hall. They exhibited
in one room of it some fruits, onions,
etc., but / do not think they raised
them, as / did not see where they
came from.
Then we went to where they had
been making some butter. The super
intendent said it was for the pro.
fessors. 1t was in cold storage and
looked nice, but scarce.
Well, night came on, so to the
barracks. The manager told us they
were deserted, but no, they were
not. They were still there, but very
poor and ready for business. Some
of the boys said they were so thin
you could not mash them, but il
seemed everything else had deserted,
for there was nothing but them and
the cot in the room. Well, we killed
some of them and fought balance
until morning.
Then we took another tour around.
to see the beauties round the pro-
fessors' houses, for there were no
attractions anywhere else that we
could find. Some of our Lancaster
friends, especially N. B. Small and
G. L. McManus, thought that the
appropriations ought to be divided
between the professors and the
farms, but that won't do. If that
were done the appropriations would
have to be twice as much, for they
say there is not enough appropriated
now.
/ would like for more of the Ian
caster farmers to go and see and
hear them talk. They can tell you
anything you want to hear about
farming, on any branch you would
like to follow or anything you want
to raise in the way of crops, stock,
cattle, hogs, poultry, fruit, vege-
tables or anything you can think of.
If you go, be sure to go to the pro-
fessors' houses, for there are the at
fractions. J. II. Hance.

alton of Steele Hospital.

Denver, Nov. 22.-After a careful
investigation of the charges made
against the management Of the Steele
hospital, the State Humane society
through Agent Kerr gave out the fol-
lowing statement YESTERDAY:
I'VE have the statement of six wit
nesses, four of whom are adults, who
have spent some time in the hospital
and who are willing to make affi
davits to their assertions. The ma
jority of the witnesses agree on the
following items of criticism or CEN
sure:
There are too few nurses and
proper hospital supplies and appll-
ances are deficient or lacking alto
gether.
Several witnesses agree to the
presence of vermin on the bodies and
heads of children who were not so
AFFLICTED when they went there.
There is no disagreement among
witnesses as to improper and immoral
associations between the boys and
girls while there. or as to more or
less constant neglect to properly walt
upon sick children and as TO care
lessness with convalescents.'
The statement goes on to say that
some of the nurses are efficient while
others are Indifferent.
According to Secretary Whitehead
if the statements are true they bring
the treatment of children in the hos
pital within the law defining criminal
neglect and the management is liable
to prosecution. What further action
the board will take is not known.
