Experiment Station Moscow.
A sudden impetus was given the
agricultural interests of the Univer-
sity of Idaho on the 10 of December,
1907 when the students of that de-
partment organized an agricultural
club. 1t consists Of students deeply
interested in. agriculture, who are
doing all in their power to build up
a strong agricultural college in the
university. 1t is with keen sense
Of the needs of Idaho that the move
ment is begun. Idaho is one of the
most rapidly growing states of the
union. Over 100000 acres of land
have been added within the last year
or two to the grants covered by the
irrigation companies. This will fur
nish room for thousands of beautiful
homes in the near future. 1t is OBJ
vious that scientific skill will be in
demand under the conditions
brought about by this extended sys-
tenn of intensive farming.
A publication known as the Idaho
Student Farmer will be the clubs
main method of interesting the farm
ers of the state in the work of the
agricultural college, and 1t is hoped
by this method to get great many
students from the farms. 1t is prob
ably the only student agricultural
paper published in the colleges of the
northwest. The first and only num-
ber of the present scholastic year
will come out in week or ten days.

spond with the true spirit OF an ener-
getic commonwealth. Send in your

Graduated from the Bible.

Octave Thanet tells story of an old
darky in Florida who was anxious to
earn to read, so that he could read the
Bible. He said that if he could read the
Bible he would want nothing else. A

read. Some time afterward she visited
his cabin and asked his wife how his

Fencing Cures Awlwardness.
Fencing is an art that not one per
son in one hundred thousand under
stands. You watch stage duel. per-
haps. The chances are that the actors
themselves know little more about
fencing than does their audience. The
average actor is ignorant Of fencing
and, in his stage duels, merely goes
through a set of motions he has been
taught for the occasion. His stage op-
ponent is going through supplement
tary drill, to match the first mans.
And the audience falsely imagines 1t Is
witnessing a fencing match.
A famous actor once asked me TO
teach him certain fencing trick,
which he wished to employ In the duel
scene In Hamlet" I did so. and
found, to my surprise, that he was al
most totally ignorant Of the simplest
rudiments Of the art.
"Why don't you learn to fence?" I
asked him. "Your stage duels would
be much more convincing"
What would be the use?" the star
said, YEARLY. THE other fellow prob
ably wouldn't understand fencing,
even II did. And besides, nobody in
the audience would know the differ
ence."
Yet fencing should be studied by
everyone. 1t gives the wrist and arm
the strength and pliability Of Damas-
Gus blade, makes one graceful and
well-balanced, and lends a suppleness
and symmetry to the figure that no
other exercise can impart. BY learning
to fence with either hand, and doing
so as often with the left as with the
right the danger Of becoming unevenly
developed is averted.
One precaution that no fencer
should ever forget is the wearing OF a
mask. Not even the briefest bout
should be fenced unless both contest

instant, but the heel first. The heel
should be first to touch the ground and
first to leave 1t. Rise on the ball OF
the foot. Spring from the toe for
the next step, after the heel has been
raised. Do not turn the toe out or
in, but keep the foot straight. Do not
swing the leg outward In taking a
step, but move 1t straight forward so
as barely to miss the other leg In
passing. In this way you not only
avoid awkwardness and extra work,
but you get over the ground faster.
Your legs Especially the calf and
ankle) may be a little sore when you
try It at first, for you bring into play
many leg muscles that otherwise
would 60 undeveloped. The Indian
walks as / have just advised, and he
can cover twice as many miles a day
as can most white men.
Keep the shoulders squared, the
head well up and the mouth closed.
Let your arms swing little If they
do 80 naturally, but avoid the habit Of
so many boys Of swinging both arms
far forward or backward at every al
ternate stride like the sails Of q wind
mill. You waste strength to no pur-
pose In doing this. Keep the knees
timber and just far enough apart
when one leg passes another to avoid
striking them together. Breathe nat
urally in deep breaths. such as I de-
scribed in the preceding lesson.
Don't lag one minute and walk your
legs OF the next. Strike quick, even
gait and hold 1t without variation. In
this way you will get over more
ground than you would believe. 1t is
the unconscious lettering and then the
spasmodic hurrying that tires most
walkers. When once you have accus-
toned your leg muscles to the new
way of walking and have learned to
maintain uniform, swift gait you can
walk for hours without the slightest
fatigue.

Few persons know how to breathe,
to walk. Next to proper breathing,
walking is the athletes best form OF
training. You have been walking ever
sinc1 you were a year old, but ! do
not believe you know how to walk
correctly. There is as much dif.er-
ence between correct and incorrect
walking as between good and bad
breathing. While all sorts Of walk
ing are Of more or less benefit in ath-
letic training. the correct manner OF
doing so is ten times as beneficial as
the ordinary method.
Here are few hints on the subject
which you will do we'll to follow:
Art Of Walking Correctly.

might otherwise put out an eye or
knock out tooth.
Beware Of Football.
Football Is q sport that comes rs
natural to the healthy boy athlete as
swimming or running. Although 1t Is
grand exercise and full of excitement,
1t has another side which renders 1t
of doubtful value. More football play
ers are killed yearly in this country
than from all other athletic sports
combined. No matter how well
trained a player may be, there Is al
ways the peril Of fractured bones or
internal injury. There Is no rule
whereby these accidents may be
wholly averted, under the present foot
ball system. Their chances may, OF
course. be greatly lessened by proper
training, and by keeping the bodily
health in perfect condition. ]. myself,
played football for years. But / do
not advise the American boy athlete"
to do so. However, I'm afraid my ad-
vice will not greatly affect his plans
for continued playing. So confine
myself to begging him to make sure
he is in excellent training before he
goes into such q game. The football
season Is so short and the time for
regular preliminary training 80 limit
ed that the boy who goes In for It
ought to be in first-rate physical con-
dition before beginning the fall foot
ball practice. A totally unframed boy
runs grave risks in playing football;
the boy who trains for only Q few
weeks runs almost equal risks.
