Yale rise from every quarter of the

Experiment Station Thanked.
He thanked the experiment station
for its work in testing forage plants
and in feeding and breeding, but the
real work OF the college lies in making
men and women. Teach the spirit of
patriotism, inculcate the love of home,
and devotion to Wyoming. ANY old
thing is not good enough for the citi-
zens of this commonwealth. Teach her
children to love her hills and dales-
aye, to cherish ven her sagebrush and
~greasewood to the end that they may
follow in the footsteps of the natives
of Ireland and Scotland, who adore
the shamrock and the thistle and the
bonny briar bush of their native heath.
Our Frank says that our state is
the nearest to heaven. Let us all do
sincere homage to glorious Wyoming.
