ing, but 1T is a reversion of the laws of
society. The man is the natural bread
winner, and the woman the natural home-
tender. Any disturbance of this relation
is likely TO end in social disaster.
If the situation be correctly stated, and
it is plausible enough to contain some
truth, it unalterably points to q few con-
illusions. One is that society or the state
must ultimately agree to compel all men
to be specially trained for some particular
work. Another is that the industrial sys-
TEN in the United States needs to be re-
organized. The right OF a husband and
father to the opportunity of supporting his
family should be recognized by a more
active principle than that OF mere ac-
quiescence. Other things being equal. mel
with families to support should be given
the preference over other workers. and
there ought to be some way of making
his rule imperative.

STEER FEEDING IN THE SPRING
+. NJ. Yohe in q letter to Nallaces'

r. NJ. fOhe III q letter to NallaceS'
Farmer. says:
Referring to the inquiry of the Nebraska
correspondent who asked for advice on
handling 70 steers, I will give you q little
of my experience. I nave made more
clear money feeding steers from the first
Of February until May or June than any
other time Of the car. In the fall of
1906 1 started 80 head of steers on feed.
giving them shock corn, hauled out and
scattered I'm the pasture. BY December IS
I had them OH full feed and then began
feeding ear corn. oil meal. and redtop
hay. These cattle weighed about 500
pounds each when 1 commenced to feed
the first of November. On the 22d day Of
January I bought - more steers that
averaged about 1000 pounds each. I got
them on full feed in two weeks and
turned them into the feed lot with the SO
head which had been feeding. I sold
all of them May %. 1906. The 80 head
lacked a little of gaining two pounds per
head per day. while the 12 head gained a
trihe over three pounds per head per day.
The 80 head were as good If not a little
better quality than the IL head. The lat
ter sold for as much per pound. The SO
head lacked $3.50 of paying for what they
had eaten: the last IL paid for what they
ate and about 800 over, not estimating
the gains made on the hogs that followed

university. These institutions may con-
tidentlN expect Incomes far larger than
any privately endowed universities can
hope to enjoy. 1t is clear that state
wealth educated to that ideal is the
most generous and constant source
from which such support can be drawn.
The history of Institutions like the
University of Maine and the Pennsyl-
vania State college shows how quickly
the people of wen the older states re-
spond to the demands of their state
colleges.
1t is not to be expected, or desired.
that the we'll endowed universities and
colleges of New England and the mid
die states will ever seek a closer re-
lation to h state system of educa-
ton. 1t is not unlikely, however, that
other n younger institutions may
find in these older states both 81 wider
opportunity and u surer ground of sup
port in some relation to the state gov
eminent.
There is one feature Of state support
of education which is worth nothing.
In the earlier days the state univer-
for his annual appropriation. In the
better institutions that day has gone
by. The state university president
goes before committees of the legisla-
ture with his budget. He appears
there not as a beggar, but as a state
officer, exactly as the head of a gov
eminent bureau goes before the com
mittees of appropriations of congress.
He submits to whatever questioning on
these estimates the committee desires
to make, but, having made his state
ment. he will, if he be a wise man,
throw the entire responsibility of maxi
ing or refusing the appropriation
asked upon the legislature. His duty
is done when his case is fairly and
fully stated. On the whole this posi-
ton is a far more dignified one than
that of the college president who un-
dertakes to solicit money from indi-
VidualS.

Details Of His Plan for
Talking to Planet.

Boston, Mass, Special: Professor Will
lam Henry Pickering, Of Harva rd. hay
1ivulged more details Of his plan to cOm-
nunicate with Mars next July.
He says OF his system:
My plan of communication would nee
~rssitate the use OF a series of mirrors SO
arranged as to present a single refectinr,
surface towards the planet. OF course ono
mirror would do as we'll. but as the area
necessary for rejecting the sunlight over
100000 miles would have to be more than
4 quarter Of a mile OF glass a single mir,
ror would not be practicable. We would
have to use a number of mirrors.
These mirrors would all nave to be at.
.ached to one great axis parallel to the
axis OF the earth, run by motors and so
timed as to make a complete revolution.
every "a hours, thus carrying the reflect
Ing surface around with the axis once a
day and obviating the necessity of %contin-.
ually r~eadjusting 1t to allow for the
movements Of the planets.
Looking down from Mars. this ref,ec-
ton would appear like a small point of
light upon the surface of the earth.
"Supposing, with such a signal in opera
lion we began a series of flashes. cutting
off the suns rays from the mirror for an
instant and then throwing on the refiec-
ton again-repeating this at irregular. in
ervals. following, say, the telegruphi,
code OF dots and %dashes-I have no doubt
that, providing there were intelligent peo-
pie on Mars, the light would at once at.
tract much attention and would lead
eventually to an answering signal. Once
we received such All answer the rest
would be the comparatively simple matter
OF establishing a code and Transmitting
messages.
These flashes would. of course, have to
be in the day time and would be seen on
the night side OF Mars"

The parish priest
OF Austerlitz
Climbed up in a high church steeple
To be nearer God,
So that he might hand
His word down to his people.
And in sermon script
He daily wrote
What he thought was sent from heaven
And he dropt this down
On his peoples reads
Two times one day in seven.
In his age God said.
Come down and diet
And he cried out from the steeple.
Where art thou, Lord?"
And the Lord replied.

The secretary Mrs. ]. ]. Mayfeld, read
the minutes of the last session, after
which Rev. H. T. Walden opened the
meeting with prayer. Greetings from

now in session, we're read
The president then announced that the
committee of Mrs. r D. Johnson had
been selected by her and was as follows:
Mesdames Rushton, Beeland, Hooper,
FILL, and one yet to be named.
A memorial hour was announced by the
president. Mrs. Sterling Wood paid a
beautiful and touching tribute to those
who had passed to the great beyond and
desired that their names be called. The
clubs which had lost some of their MEM

their names and paid tributes to their
memory The names are as follows Mrs.

The unfinished club reports were then

Check That Cold

1t is a great mistake to let a cough or
cold run unchecked. Aside from the un-
pleasantness and discomfort there is
real danger in the resulting irritation OF
the throat, lungs and bronchial organs,
which leaves them sore and very sus-
ceptible to pneumonia and consumption.
1t is not our purpose to recommend any
particular brand of patent cough medi-
cine. A simple inexpensive and very eff
fective remedy can easily be prepared at
home by mixing two ounces of Glycerine
and half ounce of Virgin OIL of Pine
compound pure with eight ounces OF
pure whisky. This formula is frequently
prescribed and is highly recommended by
the Leach Chemical Co. of Cincinnati,
who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of
Pine compound pure for dispensing
through druggists
1t Is claimed that teaspoonful of this
mixture four times day will break up
a cold in "a hours and cure any cough that
is durable. +

About Tom Lonu's Speech.

Lincoln, November 19.-(Special)-T
following statement has been issued:
This is to certify that we were pres
ent at the speech made at Lincoln, Ala,
by T. L. Long on November IL, 1909. Dur
ing the speech Mr. Long was interrupted
a number of times by several men wear
ing white ribbons. During his speech Mr..
Long said that you could examine these
fellows with white ribbons, claiming to
be "holier than thou" and you could find
spots on them as large as saddle blankets.
Mr.. Long was then interrupted and
charged with accusing everybody who
wore white ribbons with having spots on
them as large as saddle blankets. Mr.
Long stated then and there that he never
intended to make any such statement so
as to include everybody, and that If 1t
was so understood by anyone present, he
then and there corrected 1t. Mr.. Long
further stated that he realized the fact
that there were thousands of good and
pure women in the state who were wear
ing white ribbons. We cannot conceive,
unless for political purposes, how anyone
could have construed Mr.. Longs remarks
about spots on their character so as to
make it apply to ladies in any way. We
sign this statement In simple justice to
Mr. Long and the cause he represented in
his speech, and because of the unjust at
tacks made on him for political purposes
in some of the newspapers in the state
While in our midst Mr.. Long conducted
himself in every way as a gentleman so
far as we know or saw. A. o. Brooks,
