Whether or not it would pay to

question in the mind of E. T. Dolly,
who for years has been in the cigar
business in the Fries estate build

The question first arose several
days ago. when it was discovered that
there was a flowing oil we'll in the
basement Of the building which he
now occupies. Oct II, the fireman
drew some red hot cHnquers from the
furnace and dropped them upon the
floor nearby, and in so doing started

the hole from whence came the flames,
and when some one suggested that the
flames were oil flames, a sample of the

examination. There it was learned
that the liquid was nothing else than

what elements are lacking and how
they may be replaced at the least
expense.
! In fruit growing, the planting.
propagation, and marketing of
berries are discussed.
Weeds are discussed and classified
into the ANNALS, bj-annual or per-
RENAL varieties. the means Of dis
tribution and of eradication are
considered.
Every farmer should know how to
tie granny, square weaver's and
bowline knot. also know how to
make a rope halter. as we'll as splice
rope by the short and long splicing
method.
In plant propagation, the method
of grating trees is taken up, and
also the care of injured trees.
There is no school on Monday
but the day is spent in either doing
extra work or visiting some place of

Chamber of Commerce. In the after

As some readers Of the Tribune
may be interested in knowing just
wha, work is being done at the Far
mer's Short Course at the School of
Agriculture, I will give a brief
review of, the work during the first
two weeks.
There are at this date two-hun-
dred and thirty-fve enrolled in the
short course, most of whom are
middle-aged men. There are five of
the students over fifty years and one
of these is eighty six years old.
The cost of the course is five dol
lars for the four weeks. Most of us
room down in the park and take
our meals at the dining, hall with
the rest of the students. Board at
the Hall is four dollars per week
and rooms can be had at one dollar
and quarter per week, per person.
Classes are called at 8:l5 in the
morning and except for an hour fer
dinner, continue until half past four
O'Clock in the afternoon. We have
taken dairy lectures, chemistry of
soils, fruit growing, weeds, rope
splicing, and plant propagation.
For the benefit Of those who are
not familiar with these terms,
shall explain the different subjects
in detail.
In dairy lectures ring consisting
of four COWS is brought before the
class. Each one is then given a
card on which he writes down the
name of the COW he considers best
and also gives his reasons and 81
on until all are placed. Then the
professor places the cows correctly
and gives his reasons for placing
them in the order he does. In this
| way each student is shown were he
made his mistakes and is enabled
to do better placing next time.
Some Of the COWS produce 500 pounds
of butter each year while others
produce only 40 pounds and thus
barely pay for their fed.
The milk is weighed and tested
twice every day from each COW.
Every day her feed is also weighed
and thus an accurate record can be
kept and one can at any time till
whether there is loss or gain.
