AN ACT OF A HUMANITARIAN.

Mr.. James Cantonwine Is a freighter
between Saratoga and Encampment
and has a number of fine horses. Among
his horses is a mare with a colt and
this colt delights in making the trip
with its mother. One day last summer
1t became lame, from travelling over
the rocks and rough places along the
road. Its owner at first was at a loss
to know what to do for the little one.
but the thought occurred that "coltie'
might just as well have shoes as its
mother, and SO it was shod all around,
thereafter making the trip to and fro
as usual.
The president of the Wyoming HUI.
name society is now in receipt of thu
following letter from Hon. ]. F. Craw'
ford of Saratoga, accompanied by one
of the shoes for the archives of the
society:

PARLIAMENTARY PRAcTIcE.-1t will be
the aim of the faculty, to provide en-
ployment for students in this course for
their entire time. Each Friday morning
at II o'clock there will be an interesting
lecture in the Assembly ROOM, which all
students attend. A Farmers Club, or
Debating Society, will be organized for
the double object of learning the best
parliamentary practice, and for discuss
ing subjects that will be of interest and
importance to the students of the course.
M1L1rARY.-Students may elect to take
military drill one hour a day for four
days in the week.
Saturday afternoons, where practic-
able, will be devoted to excursions to
some Of the ranches in the immediate
vicinity of the University, where ranch
management may be studied and live
stock inspected in the natural conditions
prevailing on we'll managed ranches in

the state who could take advantage of a
popular course in Agriculture at this
time of year, the institution is offer
ing this opportunity. Instruction will
be given in Field Agriculture, including
Soils, Crops, and Fertilizers; Breeds of
Live Stock and Stock Judging; Dairy
ing; Veterinary; Irrigation and Drain
age; Farm Machinery; Blacksmithing;
Agricultural Chemistry; Agricultural
Botany; Domestic Economy; and Study
of Wool. 1t will be the aim in every
department to so arrange the instruction
that any person, whether prepared fer
college work or not, may take any or all
of the branches taught. 1t will, there
fore, not be necessary for the applicants
for this course to be prepared beyond
ability to read, write, calculate in simple
arithmetic, and understand the ordinary
terms necessary to use i'll the lectures
and instruction. The instruction will be
given by teachers of the University and
others who are specialists in the several
lines of the course. AS the courses Of
fered may require more time than any
n student is able to give, o m will be
required to take. everything that is
taught. The aim will be, however, to
occupy fully the time of every student.
The plan of conducting short courses
in Agriculture is not by any means a
new one. The older agricultural states
have been doing this work with remark
able success and satisfaction for a num-
Der of years, and it is Our aim to arrange
and teach a curse which will be APP
plicable to the needs of our state, and
which will satisfy the requirements OF a
large number of men and women who
are unable to take the regular course in
the Agricultural College of the Univer-
sity.
ExrENsEs.-An incidental fee of $3.50
is charged every student enrolled in the
University. Beyond this, students in the
winter course will be to no other ex-
pense than that of securing a few text
books and board and travelling expenses.
Good board and room can be obtained in
Laramie at from SIS to $22 per month.
Below we give a brief outline of the
work in the various classes:
FIELD MISUNDERSTANDING with
the study of soils and subsoils, their
origin, physical properties, and chemical
composition, the work will be followed
by the study of soil chemistry. soil baete-
ria, humus, tillage, the various processes
of nature carried on in the soils, and the
means by which these processes may be
checked or promoted; fertilizers, direct
and indirect; their action upon the soil,
and the means of providing and ap-
plying the same, including farm ma
nures, green manures, and commercial
fertilizers. The farm crops adapted to
Wyoming agriculture will be discussed
in the order of their importance, and the
means Of preparing the seed bed, cultivat-
ing the crops, and harvesting the same.
, 1907-11-12

CHEM1sTRY.-The study of the ele-
mcnts which have an important. bearing
upon agriculture will first be taken up,
followed by the study of some typical
compounds. Special stress will be laid
upon the composition and value of fer
%tilizers, soils, and feeds, and their rela-
ton to each other and to the final
products of the farm. Lectures, recita-
tons, and laboratory practice.
AGRICULTURAL BorANy.-This short
course will be adapted to the needs of
those who have had no previous training
in the subject. Except for a brief survey
of the main plant groups, the time will
be given to. consideration of the seed
plants. Among the topics studied will be
the following: Plant structure; the
sources and character of plant food, and
the way in which it is taken; seed selec-
ton; plant breeding; adaptation; plant
diseases, etc. AS much attention will be
given to the economic side of the subject
as time will permit. aa1ari
The Domestic Economy Department of
the University of Wyoming is planning
to give a short lecture course in the
following subjects in the winter term,
which will be open to all students in
the winter course in Agriculture:
FooD EcoNoMIcs.-This work will in
clude a study of the evolution of society
as affected by food conditions; a study
of the food principles and their classical
ton; the relative nutritive and money
values of foods; standard menus and
food combinations for various classes of
individuals, considering age, occupation,
climatic conditions, etc. +
HOUSEHOLD MANAcEMENr.-This work
will include a discussion of home ex-
p%enditures; the general necessary OPP
Grating expenses; buying of supplies,
furnishings, ETC.; household accounts I;

INGENIOUS BUT NOT INVEN-
TIVE.

Women have great ingenuity in adj
apting old contrivances to new ends,
but little power for new inventions.
The Patent Office at Washington
contains, to be sure, many models
from feminine hands, some useful and
some fantastic.
For example, one woman who
wished to combine gardening and
poultry raising, invented an anti
scratching appliance for the feet of
her hens; but it is to be feared the
condition of the feathered flock suf-
fcred from lack of their customary
relish of worms Most of the popu-
lar and effective conveniences of per-
sonal and domestic life have been
made by men
A woman can do more things with
a hairpin than man would ever &C
complish She will pick lock, ex-
tract a bean from a babys ear or
nose. run a string into curtain hang
picture or button her boots with the
useful hair-pin. But in spite of the
frantic demand for practicable peck
ct, she has not invented one; and she
still washes and wipes by hand the
family dinner dishes
a woman's ability to make the best
of things as they are is distinct
characteristic of the sex 1t would
be sadly missed if it were to be sup
planted by even high order of orig
inal inventiveness. For this easy
rapid adaptation of inadequate means
to desired ends is applied by woman
not only to the machinery of the
household, but to the human forces
among which she lives The ingenious
wife adapts even a clumsy husband
and an inexperienced cook to the pro-
duction of domestic harmony

be about like this Howard Gould
married an actress, against the wish
es of his family. Now he is trying
to divorce the woman, apparently
with the consent of the same family.
And the lady objects to being di-
vorccd. SO there is nothing unusual
about the matter. But Mrs. Gould

grounds for his divorce, has resort

that efforts have been made to drug
her while out shopping, that she
might appear intoxicated. and that no
method of poisoning her reputation
has been left untried
The News has no intention of
prejudicing the case. though we may
rs we'll remark that the charges made
by Mrs. Gould seem to be in part, at
least. borne out by the confession of
Delaney Nicoll, Goulds lawyer, and
the resignation of Captain McLaugh-
lin OF the New York police, who is
said to he party to the conspiracy
What the News does want to call
attention to is the work of the priv
ate agencies.
For there is no longer any doubt
that at present nine-tenths of these
agencies are bureaus. not for IN.
covering crime, but for furnishing
any evidence of crime or misconduct
that patron is prepared to pay for.
Kipling tells lis that in India you
can buy murder case complete, in
Guiding the corpse, for 81 rupees. We
have not come to that pass yet but
recent developments make one won
der if the difference is not one OF
price rather than morals. In the
Gould case these vampires have been
employed to ruin the reputation of
woman. and such is often their oc-
cupation In other cases they are
used to collect or manufacture evil

some man whom any political or IL
nancial interests" want put to sill

used in campaigns against the credit
of firms or individuals. There is no
work that they will not do for pay.
1t may be work requiring the vilest
treason, the rankest perjury or the
most heartlcss cruelty. 1t may be
work that would turn the stomach
of slaughtcr-house rat. Whatever
it is, there are agencies in this
country that will take it. if the price
be high enough.
"The News submits that the ex-
istence of such bureaus is menace
to every decent citizen. Just what
ought to be done about them is diff
cult to say; for the getting of evil

For Beauty in the Garden.

The dahlias should be set out this
month-rather the early part.
Nothing is lovelier than the deutzias;
perfectly hardy and low growing.
One of the loveliest things for an odd
corner, or to train over trell1s Is the
microphilla rose-literally covered in
the sping with tiny white or pink roses,
full of fragrance, followed by clusters
of red berries
Plant a row of hollyhocks along the
path to the barn; keep them growing
and see them bloom next year.
If you have a nook in the hotbed, start
your flower seeds there, transplanting
as they grow until the ground Is warm
enough to set them out.
If you cannot have the hot-bed, plant
seeds in boxes in the house for trans
planting.
Get one or more packages Of the
mixed seeds Of perennial and biennials
and plant them in rows or beds and
see what they will give you.
Don't go too strong on the novelties"
unless you have time and money to
throw away. Many Of them are worth
less.
Stick to the old stand-bys for the
main crop, and touch the novelties
lightly. Some of them are fine, how
ever.
Plant a paper Of Everlasting-fower
seeds. They make beautiful winter
decorations, and can be dyed many col
ors. There are many kinds
Seedsmen offer mixed packages Of all
kinds with ornamental grasses for about
thirty cents a lot. The fresh flowers
are fine.
Plant Gamma and dahlia seeds in the
hot-bed or boxes now. They are easily
grown, and make fine showing of
flowers the first year.
For dahlias and cannas, the soil must
be good, with warmth and plenty OF
water. AS easy started as field corn.

Hints for Wash Day.

When taking clothes off the line fold
smoothly the washcloths, bath towels
and hose and lay them away without
ironing. They are just as good for use
as though they were ironed and the
farmers wife needs to save her time
and strength whenever possible.
Always iron embroidery on the wrong
side so as to bring out the pattern.
A tablespoonful Of kerosene in starch
will keep it from sticking.
If you scorch an article badly when
ironing, moisten it with lemon juice,
rub. in some salt and lay it in the sun
shine If it is only a slight scorch the
sunshine alone will remove 1t.
If possible, sprinkle the clothes the
night before ironing day. The dampness
will be evenly distributed and they will
iron easily next day.
Black goods will not look shiny and
the white starch will not show on 1t
if it is ironed on the wrong side.
To make an article very stiff add
of powdered borax to the
cold starch.

THE HOME
Baking Hints.

A little of the outer part or lemon
or orange peel, grated over cake be-
fore the icing is put on, will flavor the
cake all through.
If pies are allowed to remain in the
pans in which they were baked until
cold, the under-crust will be much more
crisp than when taken from the oven
and placed upon cold plates.
Never put a pan or paper over cake
in the oven, as it is almost sure to
cause the cake to fall. If the oven is
too hot, place a vessel of cold water
therein This will cause the tempera-
ture in the oven to fall several degrees.
Butter should never be melted before
being added to cake mixtures, as 1t will
spoil the cake every time, a soggy cake
being the result. Always rub the butter
and sugar together until cream is
formed, using for the purpose cake
mixer or wooden paddle.
Sponge cake and all others made with
cream instead of butter, require salt, no
matter whether it is used in the d1rec-
lions or not. Some people are sure to
forget this. Remember to add salt to
all cake mixtures in which butter is
not included. A half teaspoonful of
salt to a quart of batter is about right.
The salt contained in butter is usually
sufficient.
In cake baking, always use the best
brand of baking powder. If good
brand cannot be procured, very salts
factory powder may be made by sim
ply mixing soda and cream of tartar
together, the proper proportion being
one part soda to two of cream of tar
tar Take one-fourth pound of baking
soda and one-half pound of pure cream
of tartar, sift together several times
and place in an alright can for use. .
To make delicious crisp cookies, take
a quantity of pie crust made In the
usual manner, add to it some brown
sugar moistened with a little cold cof-
fee, a pinch of soda, a generous spr1nk-
ling of ground cinnamon, and flour to
enable you to knead the mixture we'll,
if too soft to handle. Roll out in
sheet about one-fourth inch thick, cut
with a cookie cutter, and bake in
rather quick oven. In making pie crust,
if boiling water is used for moistening
the ingredients, instead Of cold water,
the crust will be more crisp and little
less shortening required.
