FARMING NOW MADE A SCIENCE.
Work That the Colleges Have Done,
and Have Yet to Do.

Agriculture must rise to meet the
college man, declares writer in the
Century Magazine. The leading agri-
cultural colleges are now SO well es-
tablished, and are teaching in such di-
rect and applicable ways, that they
are creating body Of ability and SEN
timent touching country life that has
never been known before. This abil-
ity and sentiment Is bound to express
itself. The influence of these colleges
and experiment stations will surely
remake agriculture and redirect it.
This redirection will not show It.
self in increasing the productiveness
OF the earth only, although this must
be the fundamental effort and result.
1t must consist as well in reorganizing
the business or commercial interests
of agriculture, and in radical change
in the ideals and modes of living. We
shall be able to increase the profitable
ness of farming when we have learned
to apply our science, and to organize
1t as part OF good business systems.
We are now in the epoch Of the lauda-
tion of science ITSELF as If the mere
knowledge Of the laws underlying
good crop and animal production can
make good farmer.

CHURCH USED AS posroEFIcE.
Many Travellers Have Letters Ad-
dressed to Sacred Edifices.

Il had no idea" said the new post
man to q sexton, that churches got
such heavy mail. Who are all these
letters for anyhow"
For strangers who worship here"
said the sexton. This and those other
two churches on your route are well
known the country over. When young
people from other towns make up
their minds to come to New York their
folk at home are pretty badly worried
over them. In their anxiety they re-
member one Of these popular churches
that everybody has read about, and
they grasp at it as last hope. They
don't know Just what the wanderers
will do In New York or where they
will drift, so they say: We will write
you for while in care of Mr.. Blanks
church.
"And they do write here. That
brings the young people around for
the mail, anyhow. and after that, from
a sense Of obligation alone, they come
back to the service. 1t means little
extra work for the sexton to look aft
or all these letters, but the influence
for good in the lives Of the youngsters
more than makes up for it."-New
York Press.

A Good Hunt Rewarded.

An old man in Atchison writes to
the Atchison Globe: In 1866 knew

A Queer ORIGIN.

It is interesting, and sometimes
amusing. to trace the origin Of words
There is the word ""pecuniary," for
example, which, you know. means re-
lating to money Strange to say, Its
original meaning was cattle" 1t
seems that oxen were the medium Of
exchange between the ancient Ro-
mans, one OK being the unit of value.
The first Roman coins bore the image
of an OK, and the word "pecus" meant
an OK or coin, according to how
you used it.

award, Judge James deciding that the
Redondo residence and other buildings
should be regarded as the family home.
Seymour arrived in Los Angeles
from Mexico Friday, and Saturday
morning, before the commencement
of court proceedings, made a trip to
Redondo and return. At the beach
town he surveyed the home premises
hoped might be used to good advan-
tage in his contest with his mother.
The Redondo residence, he said, never
had been regarded by his father as
family home, but merely as a pleasure
resort General Seymour maintained
a residence at Torres, Mexico, he told
the court, and regarded that place as
his headquarters and home.
According to the mother and daugh-
ter however, Miss Marina Seymour,
valuable paintings, silverware, cups
and trophies, the latter presented to
General Seymour during his long SER
vice in the British army, were kept at
the Redondo home, and other facts
were related by Mrs. and Miss Seymour
to prove that the place was always
"home'' to the old army officer.
The late General Seymours estate is
valued at half a million, and consists
principally oe railroads and other
properties in Mexico. BY the terms Of
his will Mrs. Seymour was given the
entire estate during her lifetime, to
be divided equally between the two
children at her death. When the hear
ing on the probate of the will was taken
up it met with a contest by the son,
