years before his death a prominent

being in charge of the details Of the
experiments in crops and live stock.
He was then elected professor of agrl-
culture in the Pennsylvania state Col
lege and agriculturiSt to the Pennsyl-
vania Experiment STATION, the Ilrst
man in agriculture to be called from
the West to an eastern institution. In
the fall of 1895 he was recalled to MIS-
culture and director of the Experiment
Station, which position he has since
held without interruption.
During the Worlds Fair at St. Louis,
Dean Waters was pressed into service
to collect and make the exhibit IN ag-
riculture for the state which was the
largest and most striking display OF
AGRICULTURAL production and resources
thus far made at any exposition in TINS
country. At the close of the exposition
he was granted leave OF absence Tor
q wear and a half to study in Europe,
fhe time being spent in the universities
of LEIPZIG and Zurich.
Dean Waters was instructor in nu-
triton at the Graduate School OF Ag-
rriculture University of Ohio, 1903;
he was likewise instructor in the Grad
nate school of Agriculture, University
of Illinois 1906. His chief emphasis
has been along animal husbandry lines,
with especial stress on nutrition and
meat production, particularly the pro-
duction of beef. While professor of ag-
TicllIture in the Pennsylvania State
COLLEGE. he emphasized the feeding of
dairy cattle and the production of milk

When Dean Waters went to Mis-
souri, the college was not in touch
with the farmers of the state and had
inst been through a long struggle for
agricultural organization in the state
had passed resolutions against the
management of the college. No state
with the exception of
one years before, had been granted
the college. Since that time the num-
her of students in agriculture has in
creased in a larger proportion than in
sity. Practically all of the buildings
that have been given to the university
bv the legislature since Mr.. Waters has
been connected with the college have
been given to the College of Agricul-
ture. With the exception of the dairy

in the fall of 1895.
short time after Dean Waters re-
turned from Europe he was elected
dean of the college of Agriculture and
director of the Experiment Station at
the University of California at a very
attractive salary, but on account of
contract with his own institution which
could not be released, he remained in
Missouri. He was recently elected pres
ident of the Colorado Agricultural
College but did not accept.
During the past II or IA years the
Missouri Station, under his direction,
has conducted elaborate feeding eX-
periments with cattle and hogs, COW
ering practically every phase of grow
ing, Wintering and fattening these
classes of live stock. In addition to
this, Dean Waters has made a survey
of the methods and underlying prin-
ciples employed by feeders in the Mis-
sissippi Valley in fattening cattle for
market, publishing as the result of
his studies what is practically a hand
book on this subject which is now be-
ing used as a text book in essentially
all of the agricultural colleges of the
country.
In the last few years, under the
Adams fund, Dean Waters has under
taken a piece of fundamental research
into how a beef animal grows and fat
tens and what conditions favor and
what conditions hinder these proc
esses. This experiment involves daily
weights and elaborate measurements of

he 1lfted his cap. and laid his hand
on his heart. When the call came he
spat on his hands, twisted his body
into grotesque shape and made his
first and last throw. It sailed to the
right of the batsman by ten feet and
struck a telegraph boy on the ear and
knocked him down and rendered him
unconscious for 20. minutes.

He was yelled at, but he kept on until
he and the other fielder crashed to-
gether like two carloads of beef. The
last thing Mr.. Bowser heard as he
started for dreamland was the plaud-

his eyes again he was lying alongside
the fence on a horse blanket, and the
doctor who had been called to see if
his life could be saved, was saying:

A Game of Baseball Played for His
Benefit.

Just as Mrs. Bowser was sitting dowr
| to a picked-up lunch the other moor
| she was surprised to see Mr.. Bowsel
| enter the house, but before she could
ask what had happened to bring him
| home at that unexpected hour he ex-
| planned:
| Nothing has busted or gone wrong
/ at the office. There wasn't much do
ing and so came home to have little
SPORT
Are you goin~ to box or swing
| clubs?" she asked
ooh. no. 1 have become a member OF
| the Hercules baseball nine, and we play
our first game this afternoon. I'll eat
a bite of something and then get ready
for it. I can wear my Jockeys uni
form, you know"
But it's rather singular that you
should take to baseball at your age.'
Am I a hundred years old? Even if
I were, I shouldn't see anything singu-
lar about taking hand in almost any
game"
But isn't there lots of running in
baseball?"
And can't I run?'
yes, a fat person can run, suppose,
but isn't there danger to the hearth"
Look here, madam" replied Mr..
Bowser, as he flushed up, don't con-
Germ yourself about my heart, or about
my fat, either. I can take care of
both. It's mighty funny that 1 can't
out your getting off something funny
about my age"
But thought that if you had to run
a good deal YOU might injure yourself
she explained.
IF 1 do I'll get over it without any
of your help. I don't propose to kill
myself, but when the Cherry Blossom
club challenges the Hercules to a game
1 shall be right there and take my
part"
Mrs. Bowser said no more, and after
his luncheon Mr.. Bowser went to his
room and donned the suit he bought
two years ago to fall off a horse in the
first and only time he rode out for his
health. There was a cap, Jacket, knick-
erbockers and CATERS to match, and as
he came down all dressed he waved his
hand and bowed and inquired:
viii it do or won't it?'
81 should say it would replied Mrs.
Bowser as she surveyed him. If you
had told me yesterday I could have
sewed a sign of Hercules between the
shoulders
You may do that some other time,
unless we decide on different uni
form. I feel as light as a feather in
this suit. and I guess I'll astonish some
of the players"
You never played a game, did your
Not as they play 1t nowadays, but it
can be picked up in five minues. Lord,
but how I will bat that ball.
Next moment he was away to the
baseball grounds, where he arrived at
the head of a procession of about 20
small boys, who imagined that there
was going to be a horse race. They
criticised Mr.. Bowser very freely as
they followed at his heels, and the con-
cIusion arrived at was that he was not
a Jim Dandy, but only Rhinestone
imitation. He was on the grounds
early, and he walked up and down and
looked pompous and knowing and wise. |
By and by the two clubs got together
and prepared for the game. Then Il |
was that Mr.. Bowser came to the front |
with the announcements:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-07-10

Gentlemen, if it will be an accom-
mediation to you I will pitch for both
clubs. That will give you more time
to rest and talk"
"Who in thunder is that old moss
back" asked the president of the
Cherry Blossoms of the president of
the Hercules.
That's BOwSer."
But what has he got on that jockey
uniform for?'
ooh, he's little peculiar, but
awfuIly good hearted"
An umpire had not yet been chosen,
and in the goodness of his heart. Mr..
Bowser stepped forward and said;
Gentlemen. 1 can umpire and twirl
the ball at the same time, and if it
will be any accommodation to you I
will do so. I want to see this game go
off tremendously
There was a general laugh at his
expense. but he couldn't see where it
came in, and his feelings were not
much hurt. There was a conference
aside, and then he was asked
Have you had much experience as
a pitcher?"
q have been throwing stones and
clubs and things all my life.''
Then you are the very man want

the bodies of 40 or so steers, daily feed
records, the chemical analysis of car
casses at different stages of develop
ment and a careful study at the same
time of the changes that take place
in the size and number of the fat cells,
the size of the muscular fibers as the
animals grow or fatten, etc. Already
16 animals have been analysed, more
than double the number analysed else
where in the history of the world, and
it is the first time in the history of
the world that animals with a definite
history have been put to this crucial
test. These researches have attracted
attention among the scientists of Eu-
rope as well as of America. DR.. Zuntz,
professor of physiology in the Royal
Agricultural College of Berlin, when
visiting America last year, Travelled
halfway across the continent to see
this experiment and study its plan;
DR.. Hoffman Bang, director of the
Royal Experiment Station of Copen-
hagen, Denmark, made a similar trip,
from Washington to Columbia, to
study the methods employed. The
world has spent much time ard money
in studying in detail the life history
of animals of little economic i'm
portance, like the lower forms of ma
rine animals. etc, but this is the first
time that an attempt has been made
in detail to work out the life history
of a domestic animal.
While these Investigations are fun
damental and in many respects very
technical at the same time many
practical lessons are being learned
from them as they progress. For ex-
ample, the matter of the handling
qualities of cattle, upon what it is
based, what causes "patchiness," lack
of smoothness in show cattle, ETC., the
very basis of judging stock in the
show ring, and the very foundation of
the teaching of stock Judging, all have
been practically worked out and re-
duced to a scientific basis.
p The question of whether the form of
the animal its shape and type, is in
fluenced by the way it is fed or the
way it is not fed during it's formative
period is likewise being definitely de-
termined. In short, by these re-
searches. If they are carried to a final
conclusion it is expected that the part
the breeder plays in determining the
size, temperament, type and functional
activity of the animal will be separated
from the part the feeder plays. In 9TH
er words, for the first time. the in
fluence of nutrition and environment
will be separated from the role which
heredity plays, and we shall then have
our animal production upon a thor
oughly rational basis.

What Swinburne, who was under
stood not to believe in a personal God,
really thought on religious matters, is
the poets intensely interesting letters
to e. c. Stedman, recently published
in the London Times. Having been as
a child and a boy" Swinburne worte,
brought up quasi-Catho1ic, of course
l went in for that as passionately as
for other things, then when this was
naturally stark dead. it left nothing
to me but a turbid Nihilism; for ath-
lest never was. I always felt by in
st1nct and perceived by reason that no
man could conceive of a personal God
except by superstition or else by SUI
pernatura1 revelation; that a natural
God was the absurdest of all human
f1gments, because no man could by
other means than a violation of the
laws OF nature conceive of any other
sort of Divine person than man with
a dffference-man with some qualities
intensified and some qualities suppress
sed-rnan with the good of him ex-
aggerated and the evil excised. Now
of course this is the exact definition
OF every God that has ever been wor-
shipped under revelation. Men give
him the qualities they prefer in them
selves or about them. The God of
the Christians is good for domestic
virtue, bad for patriotic. Again, the
god of the Greeks and Romans is not
good for the domestic Cor personal, in
the Christian sense) virtues, but glor-
iously good for the patriotic. But we
who worship no material incarnation
of any qualities, no person, may wor-
ship the Divine humanity, the ideal of
human perfection and aspiration, with
out worshipping any God, any person,
any fetish at all. Therefore, 1 might
call myself kind of Christian (of the
church of Blake and Shelley" That
is. notes the Times editor, taking the
semi-legendary Christ as type of hui
man aspiration and perfection, and
supposing, if you like that Jesus may
have been the highest and purest sam
pie of man on record.

LucIx of Cards

Cards even possess a folk lore of
their own. in addition to figuring in
our literature. During an inquiring
into an eighteenth century fire 1t was
as the result of the housekeeper's
hinsing a pack of cards in the CRATE
because she had lost three rubbers
running. She explained in evidence
that before taking this extreme step
she had changed chairs, had a fresh
pack, and ordered the pageboy to sit
G. osslegged in order to bring her good
luck. Modern players so1emnly rise
and turn their chairs round three
times, when luck has gone amiss. and
most bridge players choose their
favorite color when they have choice
of cards.-London Chronicle.
