Once upon a Time there were Two

laughed at the Follies of the Mooney,

T'Witt loved T'woo, but he was Wise,
Dead Wise. There were no Gas Bills
for Papa to pay and no Chance Of the

They Wooed and Cooed and Fused
all Night long and then T'witt would
fly away to his Home in the Hills,

whether the Guy had a Hook Worm

Anyway she had another Swell LOCKER

FISHING WITH RAKE.
Experiments Prove Artificial Ponds
May Be Made Profitable.

Experiments Prove Artificial Ponds
May Be Made Profitable.
London Mail: Very interesting ex-
periments in the intensive cultivation
OF Ash are being attempted by a well
known pioneer in cultivation. A SER
les of ponds Is dug and stocked with
coarse fish, which have very steady
sale in the market, and the later results
go to show that an acre OF water may
yield profit Of more than e 90, which
compares well with land, especially the
clay lands In which the ponds are most
cheaply made.
The results are corroborated by a
long established experiment In the
Black country. In the grounds OF a
hospital for cripples 100 years ago, a
pond was dug out in lieu OF well and
fed by pipe from the River Stour. This
pond abounds with roach perch, Dream
and cells, which provide the home with
one OF the staple articles OF food.
The method OF catching the fish is
interesting. The instruments used are
a carriage lamp. an ordinary garden
rake and q bucket or two. Soon after
sunset the lamp Is lighted and turned
to the water, and the fish SO crowd
into the lighted space that they can
be taken to the shore several at time.
Even the cells may be caught In this
way II. the lamp ID removed a little
further from the edge and the fisher
man ID handy with his rake
tt Id a curious thing how easily pond
fiah are cultivated, though once their
cultivation was common; and there Is
no doubt that ponds might make
useful addition to the resources OF
many establishments. There Is no
reason why every other village should
not have les fish ponds as In the days
of periodic feasts, when fish was an al
most necessary article OF food.

Do We Eat Too Much Msata


Professor White believes that we do
and explains his reasons before re-
cent meeting of the Polytechnic. Bas-
ed upon long-continued experiments
with athletes and others, the general
results of reducing the amount OF pro-
tein in the food, in other words, the
amount Of meat eaten per day, has
been,
|. An increase in total bodily
strength.
2. Better general health
g., No reduction of body weight.
The conclusions which the scientists
draw from these results are that the
body does not need as large a guam
tity Of meat as the average man con-
sumes, and that the food taken into
the system should be adapted to the
work of the body, rather than to the
whim of the palate.

The judges will be decided on later.
Last year the Athena society won the
prize banner. If it wins 1t again this
year it will keep it. Great interest is
already manifested by the societies.
Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin de-
bate the same question on the same
night.
Some time ago Illinois made inves-
.tigation as to the number of students
of the agricultural college who either
returned to the farm OF engaged in
work directly connected with farming.
The following, clipped from The Or
ange Judd Farmer, Is interesting read
ing, and is amply sustained by the
records of other farm schools in
Guiding North Dakota
From 1899 to 1909 the college Of ag-
riculture conferred degrees upon 1S4
men. According to occupation. these
men are classified as follows: Direct
ly engaged in farming, lis; engaged
in agricultural college and experiment
tai work, 40; department of agricul-
ture, seven; agricultural newspaper
work, 1; teaching, 16; real estate,
8; religious work, 2. Out of this total
of 1S4, 1853, or practically 80 per cent,
are engaged in pursuits which have
to do directly with agricultural prob
lens. Further than this, all of these
men are well established in their chos-
en- vocations and are making pro-
nounced success of their business. A
large number of the young men who
attend the agricultural college never
graduate. So far as statistics are
available, even a larger percentage of
these have gone back to the farm than
those who do complete their course.
This showing is certainly gratifying
to those who believe in higher educa-
tion for the boys who are interested
in agriculture. 1t goes to show that
the agricultural college of the present
day is accomplishing just what 1t
started, out to accomplish. 1t 1usti-
flies the continued expenditure of large
sums Of. money for equipping and
maintaining colleges and experiment
stations. 1t indicates that farmers, as
a class, are becoming better educated
and thus better. fitted to deal with the
problems Of production and distrbu-
ton, all Of which are becoming more
and more complex as the years so by.
1t justlfes the faith of the venerable
senator from Vermont whose activity
and foresight made possible the splen-
did agricultural institutions of the
present day:
