"a bleak afternoon in October-5,OO0
men and women made their way to
the mountain top. In the town of
Sewanee, at the foot of the mountain,
there We're not nearly enough houses
to shelter them for the night. Tents
were pitched in the forest, and there
the visitors rested. There was an i'm
mense barbecue, and the occasion was
one long to he remembered.
Several wooden structures were put
up for the workmen, and the work of
building the University of the South
was soon begun. Then came the civil
war. The Seventh Illinois troops one
day, in travelling from Nashville to
Chattanooga, came upon the crude
university huts. The work of putting
up the stone buildings had not been
started
The soldiers saw the marble corner.
stone and at once became inquisitiye.
The stone was blown open with gun
powder, and the papers that Bishop
Polk had placed there were abstarct-
ed. The wooden huts were set afire,
and nothing remained to mark the
site Of the Sewanee university but
ashes.
During the war Bishop Polk, at the
head of Louisiana regiment, was
killed. When the war was over the
trustees again took up the work of
building the university. They found
that the fortunes of those who had
promised the 100000 of endow-
ments had been dissipated. There
were no funds with which to continue
the work. =
Discouraged, the trustees concluded
to abandon the.idea. Under the grant
by which they came into possession
of the forest land, they would lose
title if no buildings were put up by
the fall of 1868. Bishop Quintard,
whose brothers now own the Quin-
tard iron works, of this city, real
lied that Sewanee was doomed un-
less something was hurriedly done.
Three days before possession would
have passed from the trustees, the
bishop and two others went up to
the mountain and planted rustic
cross, after the fashion of the war
riors under William the Conqueror.
The next day they hastily nailed to-
gether two rough huts, and the day
after that the University of the South
was an established fact.
The bishop and his two confreres
sent for their sons, and for year the
boys were the only students of Sc
vance. In the meantime the trustees
had got more funds and stone build
ings were beginning to assume shape.
Inside of two years there were halt
a dozen fine structures in that wilder.
ness, with several professors and so
students.
Now Sewanee has an average of $50
students, every year. It's domain has
been beautiful until to-day the grounds
are among the finest to be found in
the world. There are magnificent
residences for the professors, while
many of the friends or alumni of the
university have houses on the
grounds and live there the year round.
One of the things Oh which Sewanee
prides itself is this community. The
university population, outside of the
students, is over 1000.

,AsPROFIT CON-
The Experi-scc Of One Man Nhs
-. ~. NJ Made It Pay.

I live in the outskirts Of small
city and have an occupation that takes
most of my time.s l find opportunity,
however, to take care of two COWS,
which ] find very profitable, writes
correspondent of Farmers Review.
Probably they would not be SO profita-
BILE if l made dairying my business.
But as am content to keep the two
COWS as a side issue, find the returns
largely profit.
l got into the business by accident.
A neighbor was going to move away
and had an exceptionally fine cow
with calf at foot. The COW had no
pedigree and belonged to no particular
breed, but she was one of the kind we
often meet with among the COWS of
no pedigree. She was perhaps six
years old, though no record existed OF
her age. | judged by her horns
was little doubtful about the wisdom
of buying her. but found out by ex-
perience that had no reason for that
kind of a feeling. Her milk was rich,
and l thought then very rich indeed.
AS l never used the Babcock test I
do not know just how large per cent.
Of butter fat there was in it. think
it must have been at least five per
cent. milk. The yield was large, run
ming on sonle days to more than Is
quarts, which l hold is good yield
for COW. In this connection l wish
to say that I have heard a great many
people tell about their COWS giving 20
and more quarts per day, when l
, have felt sure that they we're guess
ms at the amount their COWS were Civ
ms. One of the popular errors among
farmers and others that own COWS is
to believe that their COWS give more
milk by so per cent. than they do.
The COW above mentioned gave on
the average perhaps ten quarts of
mill, per day, but she gave it the year
around, for balance up her short dry
time with the flush time after calving
! when she gave a very large amount
| of milk. Some of this milk was set
! for cream out OF which to make but
, ter, but most of it was sold to people
that came for it. In 3k months the
COW and calf had paid for them
selves, and after that we fire.
quently tool. in for milk from that
COW about $40 per month, besides hav-
ing what we wanted to use on our
| table.
That led to the buying of another
COW, and after that the purchase of
two more. That proved to be too
many for me to care for, and we cut
the number down to two. l think it
is more profitable to have two good
cows than four COWS OF Indifferent
value.
One of my neighbors became so in
terested in the matter of milk produc
ton that he went in too deep and
failed to make very much money. He
had seven or eight COWS at one time
and he was not engaged in dairying as
business either. He did not have
enough COWS to justify him in keeping
a hired man, and so his wife had tt
turn in and help take care of the COWS
| am sure that it became an elemen
of contention in the family and led t,
much unhappiness. One should know
where to draw the line. If one is con
tented to keep two good cows it il
better than half keeping four poo
ones, and there is more profit in it.

THE HElFER AND HER CALF.
Patience and Good Judgment Needed
to Avoid Difficulties.

1t might prevent much profanity in
thought and word, and great deal of
Impotence, If the dairyman and farm
err, face to face with the unbroken
heifer and yonng calf problem, would
keep in mind this advice by an insti-
tute worker in the state of New
York:
- Fix things so the calf can never
suck it's dam, and when the COW has
mothered it few hours-don't be in
too great rush about it-milk about
three quarts of her milk into a pail,
put it up under the calls nose so as to
touch it, and in a minute it will drink
from the word go, and you have won
out. calf that has never sucked will
drink as readily as it will get the hang
of finding it's own dinner. BY the same
rule heifer should always be hand
MIXED, and then knows no other way.
Let the calf run with her a few days,
and then milk her, is, in her way of
thinking, robbery of her calf, and you
have to break her, which often is
quite vaudeville show, and often of
somewhat unpleasant memory, From
the start play that you are heifer's
calf-and make her believe it; and to
the calf, be it's god of the feed dish,
and the rest is pleasant pastime.'
BY the way, these suggestions as to
a calf's meal may be timely in this
connection: One part pure ground fax
seed, two parts finely ground corn
meal ;,sifted, two parts of finely ground
oatmeal sifted, and the whole mixed !;
then boil and allow to stand for IL
hours, covered. Begin with one-fou1th
pound per day for calves month old
new milk for the month, previous
and no solids. Increase the amount
of solids as the calf grows older, but
not to exceed a pound day. Keep
fresh, second cutting of clover or al
falfh hay before it,

HONEST COOPERATION.

Anent our public school imbroglio,
it seems that School Superintendent
Eddy had gone so far as to select
successors to the present trustees,
Messrs. Bragg, Comins and McDon-
aid. Just why this step was to have
been taken has not been made clear,
and probably most of the signers of
the petition presented to Superin-
tendent Eddy praying for their dis
missal would be at a loss to give a
satisfactory explanation to them
selves for their action.
The present trustees have worked
long and industriously for the better
ment of our schools They have la
bored for greater facilities and i'm
proved accommodations for our in
creasing school population, and not
without results. They have given a
good part of their time to this field
and without any financial remunera-
ton. They have done SO simply be-
cause they are good citizens and have
the welfare of the community at
heart.
The fact that District Attorney
Eddy has notified Superintendent
of Schools Eddy that the latter can
not Dust the school trustees until
1908 does not right the wrong that
has been done them.
We have no doubt but that those
disgruntled petitioners have the well
fare of the school children of Ely
district at heart as well as all other
good citizens of this city, but feel
that they took ill-advised action in
the matter What we would like to
see is complete harmony every where
in all matters pertaining to the edu-
cation of our children. which is the
first and foremost consideration. The
highest results can only be attained
by honest and thorough cooperation

The genial old gentleman, in re-

1t appears that the general and all

the Turkish language, and expert
enced some difficulty in making
themselves understood. This being
the case, the services of competen!

were taken to secure one.

WIDER FRANCHISE.

The women of England are encour-
aged to believe that they are about to
receive important legislation in their
favor A bill making women eligible
as borough councillors, aldermen and
mayors has just passed the house of
one AS the house of commons some
time ago passed a similar measure by
still larger majority, and as the
favors the bill, it is probable that the
hopes of the women for a wider fran
chse are about to be realized. AS
women already serve on the parish,
urban and rural district councils, as
well as boards of law guardians, with
results which commend themselves
to both sexes, the belief that better
government will come through their
cooperation in it's administration,
seems to be well founded Notwith-
standing the mistakes made within
the last year or two in pushing their
movement for a wider recognition as
voters, the women of England seem
TO be making more progress towards
an influential position in matters of
franchise than do their sisters in
America. Is it possible that the sense
of fair play and the absence of preju-
dice, in matters of sex, are more
marked in England than in our own
country?
