College Of Socialism Ready.

Announcement has been made of the
opening, Oct. 1, of the new college of
Socialism at New York, endowed by the
late Elizabeth D. Rand, mother of Mrs.
George d. Heron. Algernon Lee, who
was the Socialist candidate for Mayor of
New York last year and editor of the
leading Socialist organ, the Worker, is to
be president of the new college. Its home
is a four-story, brown-stone building at
112 East Nineteenth street. The course
is to be divided into three groups-frst in
which the lighter foundation subjects Of
political economy, history and sociology
will be taught by lecture and textbooks
second, the lecture conference course in
which the free discussion of theories and
principles of social reform and ethics will
be encouraged, and third what might be
called applied Socialism or lecture courses
on labor unions, child labor, woman suf-
frage, age pensions, immigration and 9th
er practical subjects President Lee says
that the object is to furnish a scientific
basis for socialistic thought rather than
to run q propaganda. There will be moth
ing but evening classes at the beginning.
The other officers are Morris Hilquitt,
and w. J. Client, secretary.

Use Good Tools in Spraying.

Those who do spraying On a consider.
able scale fully realize the Importance
of the very best outfits for the purpose.
Those who have but little spraying to
do will find smaller implements which
will answer the purpose, but will no.
tice that there is a great difference in
the prices for the same capacity imple-
ment. This difference represents the
difference between something valuable
and something made to sell, the only
value such latter implements have Is
for use in the small agrden where but
q few trees or bushes are to be sprayed.
Better pay double the price asked for
the cheap sprayer and get something
that may be depended upon to do the
work properly and effectively and
which will not be worthless the first
time the metal comes in contact with
the chemicals.

Don't Neglect the Stables.

Many dairymen who are inclined to
be exceedingly clearly about the sta
bles during the winter give them lit
tie care during the summer when the
COWS are largely MIXED In the pasture,
a plan Of milking many follow. There
are days and nights during the summer
when the COWS must be housed and the
milking done in the stables, hence if
they have been neglected the milk is
surely to absorb any undesirable odor
that may exist.
We find it an excellent plan to clean
the stables thoroughly just as 10 as
the cows are turned out to grass, and
this thoroughness consists in washing
the walls with q strong solution Of car
bolic acid, then going over them thor-
ughly with w~hitewash. In this man
ner all germs and odors are destroyed.
This is by no means all, for each eek
the stables are thoroughly purified, so
that there will be no possible odor to
spoil the milk.-EXchange.

An excellent mode Of planting carrot
and parsnip seed is to drop the seed in
small quantity, six inches apart in the
rows, instead Of scattering the seed in
the row. BY this method the plants
will come up. in stools. and can be
thinned out Of too thick, whereas If the
seed Is scattered the plants may come
up struggling, as the seed does not ger
inmate very easily under adverse condi-
tons. Extra plants taken from the

The Germ of Rheumatism.

DR.. Lewis Frissell, attending physician
to the Seton hospital at New York, claims
to have isolated the germ of rheumatism.
He says it looks a good deal like other
disease microbes, but has a special affinity
for the joints. DR.. Frissell thinks this
Is the real cause of the disease, which,
however, may be brought on by exposure
to dampness. He classes rheumatism as
an infectious disease which occurs in cpl
demic form. He attributes both pleurisy
and rheumatism of the heart to the newly
discovered germ.

The necessity of a continual water

ed point, says Farm and Live Stock
Journal. We are unable to find any
definite and decisive data on the ques-
ton and think it would make a good
topic for our experiment stations.
There are many farmers who would
like to know whether the p%asturlng of
sheep at any or all seasons of the year
in a lot where water is not accessible
experiments would prove that it is, as

different from other stock as not to re-
pay attention to their water supply.
