An Opportunity For Farmers Sons.

There are some young men on Mich
igan farms who for one reason or another
were unable to complete public or high
school courses and who have not been
brought in touch with Agricultural Col
lege teachings or Experiment Station
investigations. The time comes in every
young mans life when he is disinclined
to 90 back to the unfinished school work
and he realizes his lack of preparation
to enter college or university. The
Michigan Agricultural College is en-
deavoring to meet this demand by offer
ing six short courses for farmers sons
and others during the winter season
when farm operations are not pressing.
The work given is also useful to those
reared in cities or trained for scientific
or professional pursuits, who desire to
engage in agricultural pursuits.
Last year over two hundred men and
women were registered in these courses.
In the same class were to be found the
farm hand and the capitalist; side by
side were sixteen-year-old youths and
men whose hair was tinged with grey;
the university graduate was there also.
AS the object is to teach practical agri-
culture, wide variations in preparatory
training of the individuals of class
does not present the unsurmountable
barrier that would arise in connection
with purely scientific or classical train
ing. No entrance examinations are re-
quired. Anyone who can read and
write ought to derive some benefit.
The following are the subjects in
cluded in the First-year General Agri-
culture; viz: Stock Judging, Carpentry
and Blacksmithing, Veterinary Science,
Soils and Crops, Stock feeding, Fruit
Growing and Vegetable Gardening,
Business Arithmetic, Bookkeeping and
Correspondence. The second year Cen
eral Agriculture includes advanced work
in some of the subjects named, with
Dairying, Farm Engineering, Concrete
work and Agricultural Chemistry and
Soil Physics in addition. The course in
Creamery Management, Cheese Making
Poultry and Forestry are equally well
suited in their arrangement.
Eight hours constitutes the prescribed
days work, at least half of which is
spent in training the hand and eye, in
addition to the mind in shop and labora-
tory. A large, well equipped library
and reading room is available when
classes are not in progress.
These courses begin January 4th, 1910.
except the Cheese course which begins
six weeks later.

Modern Witeheraft.

Says a correspondent Of the London
Chronicle: This writer knows of a
west country English farmer. a hard
headed business man. who uses the
latest machinery on his farm. yet holds
the belief In pixies as firmly as any
article Of his religious creed Having
been visited by series OF minor mis-
fortunes. he cOnfided to the writer In
the utmost seriousness his fear that he
had offended a plxy by inadvertently
stepping into a fairy ring and stated
that he intended going on the morrow
to the white witch at Exeter TO get
further misfortune averted. And this
level headed business man took a day
from his farm in the busiest time Of
the year and journeyed TO Exeter and
back-a matter Of some sixty miles
for this purpose. On his return be vas
as one who had cast OF a heavy bur
den. But the white witch's mysteries
no persuasion could induce him to Fe

II red blind usually select blues as well
as violets. If he is green blind, he will
select green or gray. with possibly
some blues and violets of the brightest
shades. Violet blindness is rare. To a
red blind person the American flag ap-
pears to have green and white stripes,
while the white stars appear on a viO-
let field. To a green blind person the
stripes have the proper colors, but the
field for the stars is red violet To a
violet blind person the stripes are nor
NAL, but the stars appear to be set IN a
dark brownish gray field. To a person
who is totally color blind the blue of
the flag appears a light yellowish
brown, while the red stripes seem to
be a darker brown.

same time the Hotel Nelson was alst
crowded to its utmost capacity.
| Mr.. Nielsen has retained much O
the old help Of the hotel and his new
chief is man of experience in some
OF the best hotels c. the country. II
will be the new proprietor's effort tc
maintain the high standard Of the
hotel in every respect. 1t will be a
commercial hotel, catering to the best
Gloss of trade and neither tie
scale of service meals or prices will
be lowered, save that reasonable
rate will be made for regular patrons.
Mr.. Nielsen is now being urged en-
all sides to retain the management of
the Nielsen house also. The hotel has
a fine patronage and good will which
it seems too bad to abandon. 1t is
money maker and will be, no matter
if Denison had a half dozen cor ne ;.
cial hotels. The two hotels could Le
economically managed and Mr.. Nielsen
would then be able to meet all class
es of wants.
1t is more than twenty-five years
ago since Mr.. and Mrs. Nielsen came
to Denison. Their assets were strong
and willing hands and hearts, indus
try, thrift good Management. The CAPT.
tai with which they first bought the
Carstens Hotel was the result of wears
of hard work and, economy From the
first their hotel venture prospered.
Making a sale Of his corner lots to
the Bale Brodersen Co., Mr.. Nielsen
showed his faith and courage by in
vesting his all and going into debt to
build the handsome hotel Nielsen.
Again he prospered, the debts were
wiped out and now again he has in
vested his all and gone into debt to
show his faith in Denison and its fu-
ture by maintaining first-class hotel.
We believe it would be wise were he
to retain the management of his old
hotel. He has splendid patronage
and it is like breaking home ties for
many of his old time boarders and
friends to see their home abandoned.
We believe Mr.. and Mrs. Nielsen
will make success. We say Mr.. and
Mrs. advisedly, for Mrs. Nielsen has
played and will play an important part
in the success. We feel that every
Denisonite should be willing to help
and be ready to boost for the Hotel
Denison.
