THE RISE OF LEAHpeR CLARK.

| The small college, endeavoring to
become great institution, exerts much
the same effect upon educational and
cultural advancement that the indi-
vidual with small capital, horse sense
land Industry endeavoring TO get ahead
in The world" exerts upon business in
general. The hustler is an asset in
whatever line he affects. He can not
hustle without agitating the atmos-
phere. jogging others into activity and
pushing things ahead and aside.
Leander Clark College at Toledo APP
pears TO belong in the hustler class.
1t gave the best evidence of this as
sertion when ii burned its mortgag es
the other day and looked the educa-
tional world in the face with level
eyes and a justified hope.
Not many years ago Leander Clark,
then Western" was struggling lit
tie college in a little town. II had hard
work 10 live. 1t was a United Brethren
pioneer in the west. 1t came and en-
leIeu-uIuef homestead rlSHl anu
prepared TO grow UP with the coun-
try. 1t was poor, very poor. Some good
men came 10 its presidency Beard
shear came Western began 10 take on
somewhat of the character of its lead
ership.
After came the endowment by
Leander Clark and the change of
name. The college reached out for one
OF its own graduates who had made
his first year al Western on an ex-
pend!ture of SSi, who had sawed wood
for the price of his board and paid
for his room rent by doing chores"
He was a preacher of force. peculiar
success as business man. both for
himself and the church. He had
made money in lands and had built
big church in Kansas City mainly
on the strength of his own will. He
came, saw, and il would appear, has
conquered At any rate Leander Clark
and President Brooke burned the mort
cages.
Leander Clark is making a strong
bid to the future Good luck and good
management to the institution.

FROM THE SIDE Ines.

The New York Sun, which never
misses an opportunity to turn into
ridicule anything concerning western
men and their actions. recently had an
editorial entitled, Beauty and Great
ness in the West" Some of il is in
teresting to Iowa readers.
The trail in Washington of Mr.. Jules
NJ. Waterbury, alias Julius Ford, is
developing a reasonable amount of
merriment. 1t appears that Mr.. Water
bury, alias Ford, approached num-
Der of our national statesmen with a
scheme to furnish them with lifelike
photographs and purely non-partisan
biogra phical sketches. Some of these
pictures and articles were to be placed
in various newspapers, and the others
held in reserve for great emergencies
by the blushing beneficiaries.
The testimony so far developed by
the trial goes to show that Waterbury
did a thriving business am ong our
great men at Washington, particularly
among those of unusual physical
beauty and notable achievement in
craftsmanship. For example, he caught
the Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows, senior
seNdloT ITOUl LOT ABOUT pl2V.
The Hon. Richard Bartholdt Of Mis-
souri, fell for $50.
There too was the Hon. John A. T.
Hull Of Iowa, not much to speak OF as
regards mere bulk, but fair as any
midsummer nights dream for those
that have eyes to see. Chairman of
the house committee on military af-
fairs. he lives up to the role. His
whiskers are cali to arms, and con-
temptation Of his legs leads on to
gaudam cerlaminis in its most I'M
bridled shape. Waterbury, alias Ford,
caught him for s5S; whether coming
or going we do not know. nor does it
greatly matter. He caught him as he
caught Burrows, Bartholdt, McHarg
and others, with still others to be dis
closed as the trial proceeds He held
out not the ordinary fly paper of COM
merce, but fly paper smeared thinly
with nfolasses, and patriots and states
men in considerable numbers alighted
on it and found their check books an
chored.

Keeping Eaa..

In a new process OF keeping eggs in
cold storage, according to the Scientific
American, 500 eggs are packed in a tin
box, and a little calcium chloride is
added to insure dryness. A lid having
a hole one fifth inch In diameter IS
then soldered on, and the box with a
number of others, is placed in a large
iron cylinder, from which the air is
then exhausted. BY this operation the
air and carbon dioxide dissolved in the
albumen are removed, as we'll as the air
which surrounds the eggs and fills their
voids. The cylinder is next filled with
pure carbon dioxide, and a pressure
slightly above that of the atmosphere
is maintained until the constancy of
the manometer indicates that the eggs
are saturated with the gas. But as eggs
do not keep well in pure carbon di-
oxide, a certain quantity of this gas is
next withdrawn from the cylinder and
replaced by nitrogen, obtained either
from the cylinders in which 1t is sold
in compressed state or by passing air
over red-hot copper. When the eggs
have become saturated with the mix
ture of gases the boxes are removed
from the cylinder, sealed and placed In
rooms where the temperature is kept
between 80 and Sc degrees F. By this
process the eggs are kept in an atmos-
phere which contains no ree oxygen,
and in~which the proportions OF carbon
dioX,de and nitrogen are the same as
exist in the albumen of fresh-laid eggs.

The Strawpile

ferson Bee the following record of the
accomplishments of Mr. Mills, a mar
he knows very we'll, on his eighty
acre farm in Putnam county, taken
from q local newspaper. Mr.. Cutter
assurI5 us that the story is a true one
and it certainly possesses large sig
nihcance to Iowa farmers:
"Mr. Will l.. Mills. of Putnam coun-
~, has had the following income from
his eightyacre farm:
'1906-Four cars of western sheep
sS53.63; native. sheep and wool, s23273:
hogs, SALTS; corn, s564.29; oats. ssS-
35, horses. $3.50: butter, poultry, eggs,
fruit, etc, $112.01. Total, $2,71379 or
1882 per acre.
'l907-Hogs raised and bought, $751;
90. three cars western sheep, $307.50 !;
milk cows with calves sold. $l22.15;
oats. s424.70; butter, poultry. eggs. etc,
S214.66. Total. Si,s21.9l, or S2.11 per
acre.
-190s-Three cars western sheep.
s741.6s; hogs fed and raised. $4,000;
COWS sold, s213S;- horses, s4I5; oets
s2S7.45; poultry, eggs. fruit. outside
work, etc, $22735. Total. s2,I40.07, or
S26.75 per acre.
/ The writer understands that these
are nearly net incomes. while large
items of income have been left out
the fruit, vegetables. poultry, eggs
and meat grown on the farm and used
| in the family, and the butter and milk
| consumed.
Such results have come from a
resolve 20 be wholly honest with this
land to return fully as much plant
food as the crops take off, and from
most careful plan to get high results
with the minimum Of labor In DIVERSE
fed farming.
Twenty acres are in permanent blue
grass pasture, and the other three
equal fields are rotated to corn, oats
and clover The clover is all fed on
the place, and only about three years
in twenty has corn in any quantity
been sold More corn is bought than
sold. Half of the twenty-acre field III
corn was MANFRED last year and the
other half this year; eighteen acres in
all were covered with manure, includ-
ing clover straw, this year. The fifty
eight acres of cultivated land was
covered with thirty-one tons of ground
rock phosphate in the spring Of 1907,
or 1910 pounds per acre. The corn
promised eighty bushels or more per
arce when visited by the writer The
oats yielded sixty bushels per acre and
a fine catch crop Of clover. Other
recent years the oats on this farm
yielded forty bushels per acre while
the ordinary yields OF the neighborhood
We're but twenty to twenty-five bushels.
Sheep are a prominent factor. Last
year 800 western lambs were brought
in the middle Of August at cents,
and put on grass. A month later they
were turned into twenty acres of corn
where they remained until December.
They got few ears at first, but Mr..
Mills estimates that they ate 400
bushels in all. They also had catch
crop clover and tni:d crop clover, be-
sides eighteen tons of clover hay, and
made a gain of twenty five pounds per
head. The selling price was $7yl5 AMI

The agitation Of the rural school
question is the best evidence that
something is wrong or weak or ineffec-
tive in the rural system. The fact is
We have grown away from our method
of conducting country schools. There
hasn't been any considerable change
in country school systems for many
years. We have raised the standard OF
teachers by raising the qualification
Standard. Some large Improvement
there has been in the country school.
We build better houses than we used
to twenty-five years ago, we heat
better teachers as regards educational
qualifications and most of our teachers
have had some s,nattering. at least of
peda gogical training. However, all
that has actually been accomplished is
in very small part attribu table TO the
systematic change The Improvement
IS local, individual. more than in the
system
In districts within Marshall county
and even within a few miles of the
county seat teachers are begging I'M
availingly for even decent heating
stove. One old cannon stove which
had heated one of the first business
houses in MarshalltoWn and been
thence transferred at a. cheap price to
schoolhouse, where it remains in use
today, holds the fort against success

Marshall county which would give it

build business block twenty years
ago. But II stays and is an illustra-
ton Of much that stays in the common
country school system because those
most interested refuse to change it.
OF suggestions there is no end. much
that is good, more that is unavailable.
But the change is needed. 1t should
come. Legislators should shake off the
fear OF losing some belligerent farmers
vote and do something.
Changes are needed. Make them.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

EDes Moines Register and Leader.l
Regarding the high price Of butter
observed State Food and Dairy Com
missioner Wright, there are a few
figures from the market quotations
which may be Of interest to those who
insist that a high tariff is good thing.
The New York quotations on butter
during the past few weeks have been
just 10 cents higher than the quata-
tons in Montreal. canada. When but
ter was 30 cents in New York it was "a
cents in Montreal. And it stands that
way all the time. The tariff on butter
is cents, practically prohibitive. and
it is impossible to bring in the butter
from Canada. Creamery journals IN the
east are commenting on this fact and
advocating a lowering of this tariff. If
it We're removed the price OF butter
would go down"
