which should have meant bachelor of sur

time honored B. A. The scientific course
was indeed inferior for il lacked SUBJ
stance. Gradually, however, even this
despised degree has risen to a place with
the others. Slowly and gru1gingly the
colleges have admitted that the study of
science might be as worthy of recognition
as the study of Greek or Latin. Huxley
says: For the purpose of obtaining real
culture, an exclusively scientific eduaca-
ton is al least as effectual as an ex-
clusively literary education. In our
best colleges and universities today,
science stands side by side with the study
of language and the one counts equally

business Tor when gun cotton or cellulose
is dissolved and pressed through very
fine openings, thread is produced which
when woven into cloth is sold as silk and
only an expert can tell it from the natu-
raj silk of the silk worm. One man in
commenting upon this new kind of silk
says. "To what extent this gun-cotton
silk is relieved Of its explosive qualities
before being woven into laces and dress
fabrics, seems to be somewhat question
able. Certainly young woman gowned
in gun cotton and wearing a dainty nitro
glycerine wrap about her white shoulders
would be most formidable, not to say,
dangerous object. If the new fabric ever
becomes popular in this country il will
plainly be necessary to warn young men
not 10 approach its wearers with lighted
cigarettes or other conbustibles in their
hands. And sparkling will become
most hazardous occupation"
believe that for some years TO come
the American colleges and universities
will continue TO strengthen themselves
along scientific lines. Our country is yet
in its infancy and the public is going to
look to the colleges and the universities
for the trained men who will carry on
the great commercial and industrial en-
terprises that are now so well under way.
Sir Thomas Upton is right when he
says of America 'that il is no exaggera-
ton to declare that at no previous period
of human history has such prosperity
been known to any country"

Remember the poor. The rich we
have with us always
The merry Yuletide prompts us to
hope that you'll tide it over.
With the indiscriminate giving Of
Christmas presents, it is hard to be-
lieve that a fair exchange is no rob-
berry.
Perhaps the reason the holly is red is
because it bushes for the sins Of the
mistletoe
Thank heaven, it isn't only the aristo-
crat who can have a family tree at
Christmas
Be Christmas white or Christmas
green, it's all the same to you, if Christ
mas finds you all serene and doesn't
make you blue.
Lots Of us hang up our stockings only
to discover the next morning that we
have put our foot in it.
Absence makes the heart grow fond
er, but at Christmas it's presents.
1t doesn't take a magician to trans
form small boy into turkey gobbler.
When Santa Claus comes down the
chimney he chases many a man I'D the
spout.
It's the vanity of the Sex that
prompts the female turkey to wonder
how she is going to be dressed for the
Christmas dinner.
A girl asked me what l thought
would be the incest thing to put in her
stocking told her l couldn't think of
anything nicer than what she already

In commenting on the National Corn
Exposition recently held at Chicago,
Orange Judd Farmer says:
There were about 5000 exhibits OF
corn on display. Taking the entire ex-
hibit into consideration, the corn on
the tables was probably the best ever
shown at any exhibition. This Is most
remarkable, considering the unfavor-
able conditions which prevailed through
the growing season. 1t would not be
possible to have anything like corn Of
the high quality shown were it not for
the great advancement in breeding
and cultivation of late. Pure bred va
rieties mature earlier and resist unfa-
yorable weather conditions to a great
err extent than the inferior corn grown
a few years ago. In the class open to
the world the showing was wonderful.
Probably third of the entire exhibit
was in this lot.
The Illinois exhibit, as would natu-
rally be expected, was very complete In
white and yellow classes. Undoubt-
edly, however, the yellow varieties pre-
dominated, the majority Of them being
of the Reid type, This is a remarka-
BILE uniform variety and Of high scor-
ing quality. The white samples were
Just about as numerous, and many OF
them were Of very excellent character,
but as show corn they did not COM
pare quite as well as yellow corn.
Outside Of the white and yellow vi
rieties shown by Iowa exhibitors there
was an exceedingly fine showing of
calico and red corn. In the cattle feed
ing States these varieties seem to be
exceedingly popular.

Angola GnRfa.

All goats are fairly good at clean
ing fields of brush, but the Angora Is
especially adopted to this work. They
seem to prefer the leaves and small
twigs of bushes to grass, and strip
them clean so that they die
writer in Il farm paper tells about
the clearing of a field that had become
oyerrun with hazel and other brush
and which was entirely cleared of the
brush in one season. This was done
last year and this year not a single
living bush can be seen, but the dead
ones are in evidence all over the field.
Now, naturally, the grass has chance
and can make a reasonable growth.
No doubt, it would pay on the average
farm Of several hundred acres to keep
a herd of goats to keep the fields clean.
On many old farms the fields so soon
become foul that it becomes a labori-
Gus as well as expensive undertaking
to clear them. Whereas the goats can
do it and make money for the owner
at the same time.

One of the hoary old frauds that
comes up from age to age is the pro-
duction of the So-called seedless apple
Some nurserymen have doomed the
seedleSS apple as though it was a new
thing, one of the latest scientific dis
coveries. AS a matter of fact, it is
one of the hoariest old frauds that was
ever fosted upon gullible and confid-
ing public, says Wallace's Farmer.
The seedless apple was described by
French pomologist in 1923. 1t was
illustrated in several of the old hor-
ticultural documents of that century.
These old writer's refer to still earlier
ones, like Pliny, who described the
seedless, bloomless- apple about the
time of the Christian era. 1t was de-
scribed in 1868 as having been found
in West Virginia, in 1870 as coming
from Connecticut, with the statement
that the original tree had been bearing
for fifty years.
apple craze occurred in $780, after
which it apparently went to sleep until
quite recently. It will thus be seen
that there is seedless apple, but that
it is no new thing. Professor Hansen,
of the South Dakota Experiment Sta
ton, describes it "as poor as any Ben
Davis keeps well, but when kept no
one will eat it." Other authorities
give practically the same description.

Old farmer Pettigrew was driving
along the pike toward town, his grays
going at a brisk rate.
There's that young Evans walking"
he said to himself; he's dressed up
like he was goin' to catch the train"
"Goln' up the road, Bob?" he said,
as he passed the younger man; I'm
bound for the burg"
Il was going down by train, but
don't mind riding behind your grays,"
laughed the other, climbing in that is,
II you'll agree to bring my stuff back"

the retort. He liked Bob Evans be-
cause he joked and laughed and was
good company. College boy, too. Edu-
cation had never hurt him. Fine farm

'What'll your load be?' he asked
Bob, as the hard mud flew under the
horses feet.
Not much weight" laughed his
companion. christmas gifts This Is
the time when a little money buys a lot
of things to warm the heart"
"Sho," said Farmer Pettigrew, when
you're as old as l am you won't be
spending money for Christmas. Thar's
no one but me and mother now. We'd
look fine making Christmas presents"
That you would" said Evans, heart
lily, land it would make good old Aunt
Pettigrew feel ten years younger"
Nov, Bob" exclaimed the old man,
''air you in earnest?'
Never was more so. She is often
lonely since your daughter moved West.
She would not only be surprised, but
happy. Try it once" he added.
What are you going TO get Addie? 2"
Me? Oh. I've been planning for
months A new dress, for one. Books
Sc wanted. Some little knIck-knacks.
Nothing is too good for my wife. She
deserves more than | can give her. But
/ am getting things for mother. I
wouldn't forget her. Well so over to-
morrow afternoon, and see how happy
she'll be over our presents"
II never did give anything 'cept q
little candy TO the children on Christ
mas" said the old man, but he didn't
discuss crops clear TO town.
About the middle Of the afternoon Bot
Evans hurried into the big dry goods
store after numerous bundles He was
surprised to see old Farmer Pettigrew
sitting at counter near the front
while an ohsequious clerk was holding
up folds of gray silk.
Bob was so pleased he stopped to
help in the selection, and then went on
his way. 1t was nearly dark when the
two men met at the livery stable. Old
Farmer Pettigrew was as excited as q
boy.
Say, Bob, l bought 'er a cheer, too

Bob shook the old mans hand.
I'm glad I came with you. I just
wish l could see auntie when you give
those things to her"
I'll tell you about it, Bob"
But he did not introduce the subject
when Bob went over next week. The
young man followed him out to the barr
lot and asked him about the gifts. Ole
Farmer Pettighew looked at him lons
