be carefully pushed down between the
two edges 50 none remains above the
seam. It should be sewed together with
strong Irvine or thread, with an over
and over stitch. taking up as little Of
the pelt as possible for q seam. This
method takes . good deal OF time and
makes q lot OF work. as the lining and
padding must be removed before the
wrong side Of the fur can be reached.
and for this reason some persons pre-
fer using the less thorough method of
mending tho fur on the right side. This
may be done SO that the seam will

the bran has been removed. Hang out
Of doors for q day or two and the
fur will be soft, fluffy and full Of life.
Cold bran will not do tho work, and
for this reason the bran must be kept
warm all during tho process. This
method will not injure the lining.
TO keep furs Of any kind fresh they
must not only be cared for frequently
during tho season. Brush them thor
oughly and beat several times with a
rattan cane, then air them for twelve
hours. This process will rid them Of
all dust ana loose hair. They will have
to be cleaned several times during tho
season. Every time furs are taken out
OF the closet they should be shaken
several times. This will raise the hairs
up and make the fur fluffy.

season of 1910.
Discussions followed as to the for
nation of a league and the way in
which. 1t should be conducted. 1t was

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Al
LENox COLLEGE.
Students are Taking Interest
Science Of Farming.

The new agricultural Department.
OF the college is progressing rapidly. |
On the first day thirteen students |
reported for work in agriculture. At
the end of two weeks work there are
twenty-one enrolled and the indica-
tons are that this is not more than
one-fourth of what the enrolment viii
be after corn husking is done. All
these students are taking regular
college or academy work in addition
to the agriculture and many of them
intend to complete the four year
course.
The farm crops classes have been
busily engaged the past. two. weeks
in the study of weeds, and of in
sects injurious to crops in this local
ity as well as taking the corn scoring
work preliminary to the seed corn Sc
lection campaign and the general
grain judging and grading to follow.
The class in animal husbandry has
been engaged in studying the market
classes of cattle, and in scoring sbe\
cattle. Free use has been made of
the fat cattle near town and sew
eral days the class of amateur judges
could be seen inspecting before and
after slaughtering the bunch of beef
cattle kept on hand by the local
butchers. The boys will begin the
study of dairy cattle next week and
following that will come sheep, hors-
es and hogs.
The local demand for expert agri-
cultural work is greater than Prof.
Evans can see after himself, and he
is lining his students up for such
work as fast as they become compe-
tent. Today they were selecting seed
corn for Mr.. Richardson in the field
south of town and they will do 9TH
er such jobs as their limited time
will permit.

twenty of the agricultural stu
dents to Delhi to inspect and take
