Agricultural Colleges

Agricultural colleges generally had
their beginnings in the bin introduced
by Senator Morrill, of Vermont in 1862,
which some time later was enacted into
law, providing that lands be set aside
oy the government as they had been
for the construction Of the Pacific rail-
roads, from the proceeds Of the sale
OF which schools should be established
Tor agricultural instruction. It is In
terestng to note, says Harper's Week
~, that in this same year. when most
OF the white men folk were away on
southern battlefelds, the Sioux Indians
OF the state Of Minnesota uprose and
massacred some 500 of the frontier
settlers and in the white mans repri-
sal thirty-eight of the leaders were
hanged on q single scaffold In the town
OF Mankato So It may readily be be-
heVed farming at that time had not
been reduced to a pedagogic form, and
Atue was done in any of the states
Tor years except to provide few lee
lures on bucohc subjects, for the pur-
pose OF hanging on to the appropria-
ton. When at last President Farweu
organized a real course of instruction,
according to the lights Of the time, it
was impossible to secure any student
to pursue it, even by dint Of bribery,
which the worthy instructors industri-
ously tried.

culed by every old-fashioned or "prac-
teal" farmer, as 1t is in the way

this day. If boy wanted to be law

there was some excuse for his wasting
time in studying books, but farmin'"

All foods for plants must be soluble

high selling price does not lessen

Concentrated foods should always
be fed with those more bulky.
1t needs faith in your occupation to
bring about complete success.
1t rarely pays to feed for merely
possible increase in price.
Undertaking stunts growth and
overlooking is waste Of food and OF
time
There is more profit in growing an
animal than in fattening one already
grown.
Profitable feeding consists In giving
an animal all that it will eat and al.
gest properly.
1t is not the hardest labor. but the
best directed labor, that accompIlshes
the best results.

Profit in farming depends upon three
factors-the cost Of production. the

AN INCOME lax.

The question of an income tax is be-
fore the senate. there being two amend
ments to the tariff bill with this pur-
pose in view. Senator Bailey Of Texas
is the author of one Of the amend
ments and Senator Cumm rs of Iowa
the other Most Of the Democrat tic
senators and a dozen or more Repub-
licans in the upper house favor the
tax. Aldrich and the other mem bers
Of the finance committee are against.
The Democrats during the short
time they had possession Of ali
branches of the government passed an
income tax law over the strenuous op-
position Of David Bennett Hill. then a
senator from New York Mr.. Hill
raised a constitutional point against
the measure and his view was after

has always been regarded as more or
less political and it is claimed that by
a slight change in the wording a new
bill will pass muster so far as the SUI
preme court is concerned. President
Taft. who has been on the federal
bench and IS credited with knowing
much about the law. referred to the
matter in his speech Of acceptance July
IS. 1905, as follows:

President Taft does nc believe that
an income tax is neces sary at the
present time for the purpose Of rails

ago. The movement in favor Of such
8 tax, however, is pretty strong and
the president viii readily acquiesce If
either of the two amendments now
under consideration should be enacted

the obliteration of party lines that has
been accomplished by the prospect Of
spells through tariff privileges. Osten-
sibly a Democrat. coming from a sec
ton which has been devoted to the sup
port of Democratic traditions, Mr.. Sim
mons takes as strong ground for his
particular part of the tariff loot as if he
hailed from the Home Market clubs
sacred precincts. What he offers in
support Of his pet duty is immateriaI
since it IS the same argument that any
protectionist would furnish. although
he attempts to justify it as d revenue
duty. Where he fails in the effort TO
convince is in his assertion that there
is no trust in lumber.
IF by trust is meant an actual con-
solidation of the properties operated
such as the steel trust. he may be hon
est; if he means that there is no COM
bination of lumber operators which
fixes prices. controls the output and
acts in harmony TO the injury of the
consumer. he presumes on the credulity
OF his audience. There IS no stronger
monopoly in any product than the COM
bination which controls the lumber and
most Of the standing timber in the

RosToN's EXPOSITION.

Boston proposes to celebrate the three
hundredth anniversary OF the landing
of the Pilgrim fathers by holding a
worlds exposition in 1920. Eleven years
for preparation is certainly long
enough, and the Bostonians should be
in position to eclipse everything here
tofore attempted in the exposition line.
The recent celebration Of the settlement
of Virginia was not a success fnan-
cially, but the failure was mainly owing
to the fact that It was not held in some
large city. The Worlds fair at Chi
cago was an immense success. and the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St.
Louis was also up to expectations.
while the centennial celebration at
Philadelphia thirty-odd years ago
marked an epoch in the history Of the
new world.
The cavaliers settled in Virginia in
1907, and the Dutch were trading with
the Indians on Manhattan island some
years prior TO the advent Of Brewster,
Carter. Bradford and the rest Of that
famous band of pilgrims who sought
religious freedom on the rock-bound
coast Of Massachusetts. But while the
names Of Captain John Smith and Po-
cahontas and old Peter Stuyvesant will
ever adorn the pages Of history, q. far
greater amount OF interest attaches to
the landing of the Mayfloyver pilgrims
he IA -
Therefore the tercentenary Of this great
event TO be celebrated in Boston should
attract people from all over the world
During the ten years to elapse before
the gates Of this worlds fair are thrown
open much will be written concerning
the pilgrims and of the settlement of
New England. including the Danish
ment OF Roger Williams on account Of
his religious belief and the burning Of
the witches" al Salem. and the thou
sand and one other episodes which go
to make UP the history Of the colonies.
It is also quite probable that new light
viii be shed on many occurrences in
Massachusetts, colony which have not
been fully covered. Then there are
many relics to be shown. including the
sword of the TedOubtable Miles Stand
ish and the John Alden rife. as we'll as
the cradle Of Perigrine White. the first
white child born in the colony. All tn $
will rebound TO ths general good and
at the same time advertise the expo
sition.
The Pilgrim fathers landed in 1920 In
1897 but two remained alive, John Cooke
and Mary Cushmau. Cooke died in
1898 and Mary Cushman the year fol-
lowing. seventy-n'ne years after the
Mayfiower came to anchor in Plymouth
harbor. so a woman has the honor Of
being the last survivor OF the little
band.
The coming Of the pioneers to Utah
sixty-two years ago resembles in some
respects the settlement Of New Eng
land by the pilgrims. and the hardships
and privations endured during the first
few years in this valley certainly
equaled those passed through by the
hardy settlers on the eastern coast
three centuries ago. II may be that in
1947 the one hundredth anniversary Of
the settlement Of Utah will be ceIebrat-
ed here in Salt Lake, but that's long
time to look ahead. Still, the Boston
exposition is ten years in the future
