Just TO Remind Him.

A Cleveland man, who visited
friends in Hants, England, last year,
tells the following story of a canny
Scot, beadle. whose habit is to show
tourists the remains of the abbey in
his parish.
One day he had thus conveyed
party through the place, every men,
Der of which had tipped him with the
exception of grabbed old fellow of
his own nationality.
AS the offender left, the beadle
whispered in his ear.

it was to no purpose. He didn't get

pisposlna Of Old Horses.

1t is a much-mooted question as to
what should be done with the old
horses. The veriest horse crank alive
would hardly advocate keeping all Of
them, but in the name of ordinary,
everyday humanity don't keep the
faithful friends until past their useful
ness, and then let them go for a song
to some huckster.

Feed for Growing HOGS.

Growing pigs require different feed
from fattening hogs, though nearly as
much of it, A pig should have food
that stimulates growth, bone, flesh
and muscle forming foods richer in
protein than in fats. Milk, shorts,
peas, oats and clover with a slight
allowance of corn make a good pig or
shoat ration.

Amounts Asked BY Ame. College.

Amounts Asked BY Ames College.
Ames.--After very careful and
an exhaustive study Of the existing
conditions and actual needs OF Iowa
State college the board Of education
has decided on It's asking the legis
lature for the support OF the college
during the coming year. The board
feels that their askings are simply
those that must be granted II the
work is to be kept up to its present
high standard and that any criti
cisms on the grounds of extravaganza
are clearly unwarranted.
The recommendations that will be
presented to the legislature are as
follows:
First-That the special ,und of 81.
90 granted by the Thirty-third gener.
al assembly be made permanent.
Second---That there be renewal
of the appropriation of $500 per an.
mum for department equipment, and
that the appropriation of $3.50 per
annum for sidewalks and grading be
continued. -
The following increases in the sup
port fund are asked: Education sup
port fund, $4,000; college extension.
$1,000; agricultural experiment sta
ton. $4,000; engineering experiment
station, $1,000; good roads, $1,000;
two-year agricultural course, $4,000;
Total, $4,000. ...
Special appropriations are asked as
follows: Additional department equip
ment, including furnishings for DOM
este technology building, gymnasium
and veterinary hospital, 100000; pub
lie grounds improvements, $4,000: eat
ing plant, $4,000; judging pavilion
and ahbatoir laboratory, $4,000; poul-
try laboratory, $4,000; total special
askings, $4,000. e ..-
The greatest increase is asked in
the educational support fund. This
is deemed necessary from the fact
that the college is losing many of its
best men on account Of the low sal.
aries paid them.
