Normal Reception For the Summer
Students is Great Success


The reception given by the faculty
of the State Normal school to the
summer students Friday night was
an unusually successful affair. No
pains had been spared to make the
evening a notable one and various
rooms in the building had been
beautifully decorated for the occas-
ion. The psychological labratory
where the refreshments were served
had been converted into bower by
the use of cottonwood branches and
the effect of the clear. glossy green
that is at its best at this season of
the year was enhanced by liberal
illuminatiOns. A more conventional
note was struck in the other rooms
by the massing of palms and terna-
There was An abundance OF flowers
used. carnations and roses. The red
light IRON. shaded candles made little
spots of beauty in the greens that
predominated the decorative scheme.
The faculty received in the En-
glish rooms and in the receiving line
were President and Mrs. Y. X. Sny-
der, Miss Hannum. Professor and
Mrs. Abbott and Professor and Mrs.
Hays. Miss Elizabeth Cannell pre-
sided in the lower room where the
refreshments were served.
In the chapel musical program
was given under the direction of Mr..

who has been studying in New YORK,
contributed to the entertainment
and Miss Winnifred Sibley. who mas

Miss Vivian Abbott, who has been

solo. Miss Elizabeth kendel accom-
panied her sister, Miss Mary, and her
brother, j. C. Kendel who gave
solo. Miss Earle. the violinist. de-
lighted everyone with her selection.
Almost all the students were IN
attendance. The registration is very
large this year and there are indlca-
tions that the list will reach the 500

PROTECTING APPLE TREES.
Make Your Own Shields Of Lath and
Wire.

Apple trees need to be protected
against rodents, but the safest way is
to use lath held together by means of
wire. Any farmer can take lath and
wire and make the shields himself,
and this will remove the necessity Of
paying high prices. for patented ar
ticles. The lath should be brought as
close together as possible, so that not
even mouse can get between. The
shields thus made for the tree should
not be so small that they will inter-
fere with the growth of the tree If
they are left on, but should be large
enough to permit growth and also to
permit the air to have free circulation
between the tree and the lath. These
lath shields should be placed about the
trees at once and pushed down in to
the soil around the trees, SO that no
mice can get under them. The sooner
this work is done the better.

FOREST TREE PLANTING.
a Matter Which Is Receiving Inereas-
ing Attention by Farmers.

The matter of planting forest trees
as well as fruit producers on the farm
IS rapidly becoming more common in
all sections of the country. The fact
that there are now few areas Of nat
ural forests left and that the available
timber supply is very low has at last
>:aused even the farmer to recognize
the needs OF the hour Judicious
planting now means timber and wood
or the future, and while it may be in
:, way providing for the next genera
ion, it is a plain duty nevertheless
So far, it has been mostly the large
corporations and investment compa-
aies that have given any serious con-
alteration to the planting of forests,
out we are now finding the private
citizen coming to the front in the
work. Authentic reports show that
about $4,000 acres in all have been
planted to forest trees In the New
England states this year by private
citizens. Surely this is good show
ing in the work of reforesting this old
section Of our country, and the same
ahould be encouraged by ALL The
practice should become contagious
and affect other sections as well as
New England. In time we believe it
will.

CLEAN THE ORCHARD.
If Nna Have not Already Done So Do
Il Now.

No orchard should be allowed to go
into winter with the ground covered
with weeds, cornstalks, straw or any
thing else under which mice can hide.
This has been the undoing OF many an
orchard. Sod often produces a growth.
of grass late In the fall that mats to-
gether and makes a good hiding place
for the field mice. From their hiding
places they sally out and attack the
trees. making paths under the snow to
the trees The burning of the dry
grass and the narrowing OF the soil,
II 1t be plowed, will do away with the
refugees of the mice. The danger does
not come from mice far from the or
.chard, but from mice in the orchard
Especially is 1t undesirable for the
grass and weeds to be allowed to
grow up Immediately around the trees.

INFLUENCE OF THE SIRE.
One Of the Most important Factors In
Successful Dairying.

A writer illustrates this principle
very well this way:
IF the bull be of inferior breeding
1t affects all the calves of his get,
more or less, in the entire herd. But
if there Is single cow that is in.
ferior, the loss extends no farther than
her own calf"
This is true, declares Hoard's Dairy.
man, and it emphasizes the truth Of
the old maxim: The bull is half Of
the herd for good or bad" When farm.
ers get this idea into their minds full
size, there will be less fooling with
inferior bulls or sires of any kind.
In reality 1t Is this low, cheap esti.
mate of the value of good breeding In
the bull that Is at the bottom Of all
the poor, improbable cows that we
see. OF course, If man has a poor
estimate of the value of the sire, he
is apt to set a poor estimate on what
he should do in other things. It is
true, as Hiram Smith said: "A good
bull Is q great educator"
There Is another mistaken idea
which prevails very largely with farm.
ers who have not looked into this Ques-
ton Of breeding as they ought.
They think that II they have a good
cow she will bring a good heifer no
matter how she is bred. 1t Is that
over confidence in the mother that
makes them so Indifferent to good
qualities in the sire.
We may have the best soil in the
world. but If we use poor seed we har.
vest disappointment.
Then, again, If the mother Is q
grade, and Of course of mixed blood,
there is just as good a chance that she
will breed from the inferior elements
In her nature, as from the superior, un.'
less she is always coupled with su.
perior male.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that a
good cow of inferior breeding is there
by qualified to drop good calves. We
must look desper than her performing
power at the pail for her ability TO
give as profitable heifers. Her veins
must be heavily stored with the blood
OF high performing ancestors and she
must be bred. IL possible. to a sire of
still richer inheritance. This puts us
on constantly ascending grade, and
then we have reverses enough.

II this chute were rooted over, the
doors could all be left out and no
