The Modern Emigrant.

The financial ability of the mod
ern emigrant is one of the marvels
of the modern movement of the land
seeker. 1t is the greatest evidence
of the progress made by the Ameri-
can farmer in recent years. The
men who went west in the seventies
and early eighties were poor men.
They had either been unsuccessful
in their efforts to secure a compet-
ence in the East, or were unable to
see an opening. Thousands of them
had lost good years in the service of
the army, and came out to find lit.
tie chance for start at home
They heard of the opportunities
where land was cheap, where home
Ateads could be obtained for the
asking, and they started on the long
journey. When they arrived they
had little with which to begin the
making of a new home. That they
succeeded as they did is a wonder;
that they were able to conquer the
untamed soil and, without the ad-
vantage of all that modern expert
ment and scientific study of soils
and products have accomplished,

Better Earning Power.


The Pennsylvania State College
has five winter courses in agricul-
ture beginning November 80, 1909.
The object of these courses is to
assist young men in increasing their
earning power through study in the
State School of Agriculture during
the winter months. These courses
are devoted to practical instruction
in general agriculture, horticulture,
dairy husbandry, dairy manufac-
ture and poultry keeping. The stu
dent may select any one of the five
courses. The mornings are devoted
to lectures and recitations, and the
afternoons are given to practical
exercises, such as livestock judging,
corn judging, field study of orchards,
greenhouse work, creamery practice,
and a score of other lines of practi-
cal work, each student dealing with
the subject in his own course.
1t is the experience of former
winter course students that twelve
weeks given to association with other
students and to study of fundamen-
tai principles in the care of soil,
plants, animals and dairy products
is very helpful. 1t gives one a bet
ter basis for successful work in life.
Our well-equipped School of Agri-
culture, which has 25S men enrolled
in it's four years courses, and II
men in it's two years course, makes
special provision for these twelve
weeks courses. Our institution is
maintained by the state because it
serves those who want to fit them
selves for better work. Young men
who can give only the winter months
to study of agriculture have the same
right to aid as that enjoyed by stu
dents in longer courses.
A free winter course bulletin gives
information concerning the courses.
All people interested in a better ag-
riculture may do good by sending
us the addresses of young men who
should have the benefit of this in
struction. There will be room for
one hundred and fifty winter course
students this year.

LICE, NOT CONSCIENCE.

Before the deacon went to church,
He gathered up the eggs.
He feared the rats might make a
search
And leave him in the lurch.
The text was of the Pharisees
And hypocrites and such.
And all who watched the deacon's
pew
Could see he twisted much.
He wiggled all around the pew
And wiggled to the wall.
His visage changed to deathly hue;
He seemed about to fall.
Whats wrong with Deacon Good
to-day?"
Said Miss Tabitha Ann.
"His conscience must be troubling
him.
Perhaps he killed a man."
But, no; his conscience was all
right.
The sermon didn't hit him,
His armor, too, was shining bright,
His heart was free from sin.
But down his spine chicken-louse
Took a toboggan slide,
And DER his bald head ten red mites

OLD AGE DELAYED.
Prof. Metchnikoff's Discovery -
Death Caused by Bacteria.

Publication of the astounding
discovery of Professor Ellie Metch-
niffoff, head of the Pasteur institute
in Paris, to the effect that old age
constitutes an actual, definite dis
ease emanating from the large in
testine, was received with great in
terest in New York.
Professor Metchnikoff as the re-
suit of experiments has developed
the theory that death is a disease
due to the formation of putrefactive
bacteria. These bacteria form in
the large intestine, and their effect
is to poison the blood. If an anti
dote powerful enough to combat
the poison is found Professor Met
chnikoff and his associates are con-
fident that death can be warded off
indefinitely.
Professor Metchnikoff's discov-
cry forms an epoch in the annals of
medical SCIENCE" said DR.. Raymond
l.. Ditmars. "It is a discovery
which scientists have been hammer
ing away at for years. have no
doubt that many could live indefinite
ly if the large intestine could be
cut out safely"
DR.. Peter j. Gibbons was enthusi-
astic over Professor Metchnikoff' S
discovery.
"The large intestine can truly be
called the mother of old age," he
said. Nearly all the troubles that
afflict the human race to-day come
from that one source, the putrefac-
tion of the large intestine. I have
no doubt that If a powerful agent
can be found to destroy the fatal
bacilli, human life will be indefinite
ly prolonged"
DR.. F. Mortimer Lawrence said:
Professor Metchnikoff is on the
right road to discover means of rid
ding the intestines of bacteria with
out harm to the patient. The pro-
fessor has suggested it might be
possible to replace the harmful
bacteria with others whose presence
would be a blessing rather than a
curse.
"Such an organism was at first
found in Russia in the kephir bacil-
lus, and since then other even more
powerful varieties have been found.
Recent Investigations at the Pasteur
institute seem to demonstrate there
is some ferment totally distinct
from lactid acid, and Investigations
are being conducted of this ferment.
Recent experiments seem to in
dicate that this treatment is capable
of destroying deadly bacteria which
cause suppuration and blood pois-
oning.
