nounced to begin with that it was his
purpose to present fine plays in fine
way without regard to his own ap-
pearance in them. This laudable pur-
pose has been lived up to by Mr..
Faversham, with the result that he
has been warmly commended In
putting his artistic instinct above his
personal advantage as an actor, Mr..
Faversham has set an example which
it is hoped that others may follow. A
finer performance than The World
and His Wife," it is generally conced-
ed. has not been seen in recent times.
The company which will support him
in this act is the same as that which
was seen with I'm when the play had
it's premier in New York. This fine
company includes Julie Opp, H.
Cooper Cliffe, Harry Redding and
Lionel Belmore.

A. NJ. Bingham. who for many years

All the different grasses have
grown in their perfection this season,
one Of our neighbors having cut his

two tons to the acre. Others are

We have ran across one fifty acre
patch Of peanuts, another of forty
acres and many small patches of
sweet potatoes of two and three

Acreage property is worth about
the same as in North Dakota but the
improvements in North Dakota are
more expensive which secures for
many an emigrant a bargain here.

OFFERS GOOD FARM
HUSBANDRY
COURSE
The Agricultural College Will
Give Young Men Special
Opportunities

North Dakota Is an agricultural
state. The farm is almost the only
source Of wealth which she has. Our
young men must husband and devel-
op that great source of supply if the
commonwealth prospers. The rural
telephone and the daily mail delivery
have eliminated the two most objec-
tionable features of farm life. Farm
owners have the most safely invested
property of any class of business
men. The most economic class Of
farm machinery-to the man who I'M
derstands its use-is eliminating the
features of drudgery which harrassed
earlier generations of farm produc-
ers. -
No other business is so healthful
and no other worker is so independ-
ent as the farm owner who lives on
his land. The successful farmer of
today must not only understand the
requirements for the growth, the
habits Of field crops, and the nutri-
ton of live stock, but he must know
the demands @sbf the market as to
uniform size, color, flavor and degree
of ripeness of his product; he must
know something of the action and
training of horses, etc., all of which
adds to the interest and to the grade
of the business which he carries on.
Diversified farming has become ne
cessity even in this new state and
diversified farming requires an init
mate knowledge of many rather in
tricate lines Of production in addi-
ton to an understanding of crop and
soil requirements.
The farm husbandry course of stu
dy Is offered by the agricultural col
lege to accommodate a class of young
men who are not prepared to pursue
a regular college course of study, re-
quiring four or five years effort, yet
who desire, nevertheless, technical
training and a practical knowledge of
agriculture, veterinary science, to-
gether with fair knowledge of the
common school branches. such as
grammer, arithmetic, civil govern
ment, etc. 1t will require three brief
years to finish. So far as capacity Of
students permits, the technical work
in agriculture is nearly as complete
as that of the regular collegiate
courses. But there is lack of time
to get the culture and the better re-
suits of wider scientific study. The
very definite aims of the course are
open to the eyes of our young men
to prevailing conditions in the state
and to train their hands and faculties
Systematically for the Industrial oc-
equations they must subsist by SO
that they may know how to bring the
forces of nature to aid the processes
of production; in short, to put brains
into the common occupations of life. y
Young men who expect to farm for
a livelihood can make not better in
vestment than the time and expense
necessary to complete this three year
course of five months each. 1t opens
October IL and closes March 20.

NEVER OPENING FLOWERS.
A Large Number of Plants Bear cIeis-
to9amous Blossoms.

A Large Number of Plants Bear Cleis-
tosamous Blossoms.
The never opening flower, or, as bot
anists call II, cleistogamy, is well Illus
trated by the case Of the common
sweet violet The familiar purple,
sweet scented blossom, which to most
people is the violet flower, hardly ever
produces any seed. But altogether un-
seen by most people it produces a
number Of minute, scentless and col
orless flowers which never open.
These are self fortified and produce
abundant seed. The word cleistog-
amous expresses the fact that the
fertilization takes place without the
opening Of the flower and hence with
out the agency Of insects. Such never
opening flowers occur in a large num-
Der Of plants, sometimes along with
blossoms OF the ordinary sort and
sometimes without them. 1t is a dis
puted point, however, whether there
is any slant which in all circumstances
win produce nothing but Heterogeneous
flowers.
There are nevertheless a number
which normally produce nothing else.
AS reSdroS IertAdIy, Tue SeSuS Pro-
duced by the cleistogamous flowers are
never inferior to those Of the ordinary
blossoms. In some cases they are SUI
perior and In others they are the only
seed produced by the plant
1t has been found that the amount OF
cleistogamy varies with the height Of
the plants. The shortest bear cleis-
togamic flowers only, and those lit
tie taller have a few small open flow
ers In addition to the closed ones. The
fullest plants have larger open flow
ers, with only few cleistogamsc.-

New System OF Writing

The teachers of the Newark School
ARE concentrating their efforts on the
subject of writing. The school is about
to adopt the Steadman System of Pen
manship. The effect of the vertical
writing i'll Togue in all our schools a
lew years ago, is becoming more and
more apparent in the business world,
and is causing much trouble owing
to the lack Of individuality, as a result
OF this system. The business man asks
for change, and the school endeavors
to meet the demand. In the system
under consideration the teacher fol-
lows the idea OF the mus;cian-devot
ing many lessons to the acquisition of
touch" Exercises to bring about the
