the break Clabby used his right with
good effect on the jaw and followed
up with some telling blows on the

ropes. At the end of the session they
were sparring in the center of the

Gardner appeared to be slow in the
clinches and the stories that he was

substantiated by his work.
In the following round Clabby did
most of the leading, but few of his
blows worried Gardner. as the latter
showed beautiful defense. Gardner
started a haymaker, which Clabby side

the most execution in the round.

CULTURAL COLLEGE.
really come to fill the place for which
they were designed At first the idea
Of educating farmer was laughable
to many people who rejoiced in a lit
tie learning. Even the farmer him
self did not realize the advantage of a
college education to man who must
make living from the soil. Ii took a
good many years to bring people to re-
aliZe that college education is as val
liable for farmer as for doctor or
a lawyer. The main difference is that
the law compels a man to get a col
lege diploma before he starts to prac-
tice medicine, while he may start
farming with nothing but team and
a pillow.
Even at the present time there are
many men both on the farm and In
the cities who doubt the value OF a
college education for the farmer.
Many a farm boy Is squarely con-
fronted with the problem Of choosing
between four years In college or start
ing to farm at once. Four years Is a
long time to a young man. Fifteen
hundred to $1,000 is a large sum OF
money to him. To spend both for a
college education requires a great deal
OF courage and faith In the future
The amount of money necessary to
pay four years expenses In college
will enable the young man to start
farming on a rented farm. The four
years will, II he is industrious. enable
him TO earn enough to make a good
sized payment on a farm of his own
If he goes to college he will have

have put this question squarely TO
dozens OF men In their last year az
an agricultural college. Without ex-
ception they say that It is worth the
outlay. Not one regretted the time
or the money which he had bartered
for his education. Few of them placed
1t on a money basis alone, but even
from that standpoint they considered
that the chances were in favor Of the
college man.
The boy who starts farming for him
self without any education Will run up
against good many snags which the
college man will miss. He Will learn
by experience many of the things
which the college man learns in
school. In doing so he will pay much
dearer for his knowledge. The old
prejudice against book farming IS
fast disappearing People are coming
to realize that book farming is merely
the fused experience Of successful
farmers everywhere, explained and
illumined by the light of science Prob
ably in no one respect is the advan-
tage OF the college man more clearly
apparent than In the case OF soil fer

est all lovers Of the popular bev-
.~s. and surprise many who inn
l-.., that all the coffee they
yut.hase under the label "MOcha"
- the genuine article. Mr.. Mas
terson explains the limitations
upon the growth of Mocha and the.
care that is taken by the local au-
thorities to prevent other coffees
from being substituted and
shipped from Alden as Mocha. He
says:
II suppose of all the many kinds
of coffee grown the one and only
kind of all that is unable to com
pete with other coffees is Mocha
No matter how much greater and
better the facilities are for ham
ding puttingcoffeeo on the mar.
ket than in the past, or how much
more the growers may know
about the best way of raising cot
fee, the output of Mocha coffee re-
mains the same, or even less, az
the years go by, and until q com
plete revolution comes about in
the way this crop is handled the
output will remain the same or
! gradually grow less.
unlike the raising of cOffC' in
other countries where we can,
about each crop, how much /. will
without much difficulty, know all
likely yield and the condition of
each growing crop, the raising of
Mocha coffee is done by Arabs out
in the mountainous country Of
. Arabia, where no white man AS
ever been, and statisticians md
crop fOrecasters are unknON 4.
There are no extensive planta1
tons out there as we know of
them in other places, but each
3 Arab has his own few bushes
around his little house and raises
enough coffee for his own use and
I a little for trading for other COM
modities. 1t thus becomes a diff;
! cult and slow process to collect
from hundreds of people enough
to load a caravan. The market of
Alden and Hodeida are several
hundred miles from where the cof-
fee is grown, and the journey to
these markets takes several
! weeks. -. z e%g
"In passing through the sever.
al districts under control of some
native sheik or Turkish official
, this coffee is always subjected to
Il levy toll or tariff from each of

grain being carefully looked over

ready for packing and Shipping.
Anyone can see that coffee raised.
handled and marketed in such a
fashion can never compete with
coffee raised under more favor.

be seen that Mocha coffee is bound
to be of a higher price and that
