FoR rRLEGRApH sRRyIcE.

Perth Amboy ought to be able to
take advantage Of the present rate
war which has been declared be-
tween the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the Commercial Gable
Company. which Is the sea-going
relative to the Postal Telegraph
Company.
1t seems that the Western Union,
since 1t has been bought up by the
telephone monopoly. has decided to
cut rates In half for cable service.
The Postal Telegraph has met this
by a similar cut. Both sides are
defiant. and there Is every reason to
believe that KEEN competition
exists.
Both the Postal and Western I'm
ion have Offices In this city. The
postal, however, has always been To-
Gated In the railroad station and,
therefore, has received but scant
consideration on the part of public.
Within the last month or two the
Western Union has, to some extent,
curtailed It's accommodations to the
public here and has practically de-
fed the city in the matter of all
night service and other improve
ments which have been asked for.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
would 1t not be q good plan to put
the matter squarely up to the Postal
Telegraph Company, giving them to
understand that. II they will give
Perth Amboy the accommodations
asked for, they will be given a bulk
of the service from this city,
1t would seem as IL the Postal
be glad of an opportunity to
retaliate the cut in rates made by
the Western Union in as many ways
as possible. BY coming Into Perth
and getting the bulk of the
business here we believe that 1t
would be able to deal another blow
with telling effect. The time is ripe
Tor the trial, at any rate.

Blair scrutinized the clump OF

But the gardeners never come

Blair than before
He shaded his eyes and looked more
closely. A low ripple Of laughter ac-

Blair obediently dropped his hand
and turned toward the light that
came from the small door of his cara

eyes and the dreamers whimsical

Molly looked at him with grave
eyes for moment. What are you

Most farmers are confronted by this
problem, in a serious manner because
OF the short crops Of the past dry sea-
son and the present high prices for
feed stuffs. In wintering farm work
horses one of two extremes usually
prevails. The lover Of good horses
saves the best NOW Of hay and the
best bin of oats for his horses during
winter when they are producers as
workers, thus rendering their cost OF
keep very expensive. On the other
hand, however, too many horses are
wintered in the barnyard on straw and
corn stalks only, going into the spring
work weak and thin and untitled to
undergo the severe strain of the seed
ing work. There Is a medium be-
tween these two extremes by which
coarse cheap feeds in sufficient variety
can be used in wintering the horse
cheaply and satisfactorily.
If the horse is In moderately good
condition and doing no work it can be
wintered on corn fodder, straw and en-
silage with small feed Of mixed hay
daily. If there are no nubbins Of corn
In the fodder a few ears may be fed
daily. Under these conditions the run
of yard during the day with ample
stall or shed protection at night is de-
sirable. If the horses are being EN-

Michigan experiment station bulle-
tin No. 254 gives a description Of the
methods employed in wintering work
horses engaged at moderate labor on
the college farm during ten weeks OF
the winter of 1908. Six horses averag-
ing 1884 pounds consumed daily IL
pounds of oats and 20 pounds timothy
hay at cost per day Of 1914 cents. An
other six horses averaging 1921
pounds consumed daily Sc pounds

roots, AZ pounds hay, 81 pounds grain
and AZ ear corn at a cost of 1878 cents
per head daily. Both lots Of horses
worked between forty and fifty days
out of the seventy of the experiment.
Those on the cheaper feeds gained a
few pounds in weight over and above
the others and were in equally good
trim to go into the hard work OF

Increasing Popularity of
Agricultural Education
By r. S. SHAW,
Dean of Agriculture

The enrolment of students in the
regular four courses at the Michigan
Agricultural College for the year 1911
and 1912 presents some interesting
data. Up to October 5th the total
number enrolled was 1,278, divided as
follows, viz; agriculture. 571; engi-
neering, 452, and home economics,
255. These figures do not include any
short course students, which number
from 400 to 500 annually. The require
ments for entrance to the freshman
year are graduation from accredited
high schools or other institutions
with equally good training.
Ten years ago only about twenty
five per cent. Of the male students
entering this institution enrolled in
agriculture, the number this year
exceeds SO per cent Not more than
20 per cent of the graduates in agri-
culture returned to the farm decade
ago. The past few years nearly all
who had farms to go to returned to
them.
Some influential factors have been
at work bringing about these changes.
Agricultural colleges have succeeded
in winning the confidence and respect
of the farmer. High prices of farm
produce has had an effect. Men of
national reputation politically and in.
| dustrially have been speaking and
writing in behalf Of agricultural de-
velopment. The daily and weekly
paper and even some Of the largest
city papers have used agricultural
matter freely while the movement has
been popularized by the magazine

REPAIR WORK
- ON THE FARM

By r. J. BALDWIN,
Michigan Agricultural College
b<4e41%@%~%1>1%o 1%o1~&c>%%o%o%<

The successful management of
modern farm depends largely upon
the care and repair of the equipment
with which the work is performed.
This implies the necessity Of housing
all implements when not in actual use
and their repair before needed again
To do this there must be q suitable
outfit of tools on the farm arranged
in shop where work can be con-
veniently and comfortably done. AL
terations and repairs on buildings and
fences are required from time to time
and If there are not tools at hand
suited to Shis purpose the work VIII
not be deA we'll, if at all.
The question of how far to attempt
to do repair work on the farm de-
pends upon the distance from town
and the tastes and training Of the
farmer himself The regular work OF
the farm should be the first consid-
GRAFTON and anything that will inter
fere with field work should not be un-
dertaken In many cases the work OF
a trained mechanic is more satisfac-
tory than that done at home, and we
must always depend upon the village
blacksmith for many things. All ordi-
nary injuries to machinery can be re-
paired on the farm, and this. In add
ton to the work which must be done
about barns stables and fences, make
a repair outfit an important part oil
the farm equipment.
The general overhauling OF machin
cry should be done at time OF year
when no other work is pressing and
when IL may be done as a rest or
change from other farm work. II
farm implements are stored during
winter in places not easy OF access OF
left In open weather they will prob
ably be out Of repair when needed
again; bssh II they are housed in 9
building 6s,e corner OF which is

more attractive and the work Will be
more liable to be done before spring
FREQUENT applications OF some metal
II paint such as Venetian red and
raw Hnseed oil does much TO improve
the appearance Of implements and
adds greatly to their lasting qualities
The use of tools IS OF great educa
tional value, especially when the worl
Is carefully performed. The boys OF
the farm should be encouraged IN th'
use of tools. but should be held re
sponsible both for the care OF th'
tools and the character OF the wori
performed with them The tool out

WON BRIDE
IN HONOLULU

Chronicle: Morgan A. Jones, a
wealthy manufacturer of New York,
and we'll known in San Francisco and
the Hawaiian islands, left this city
on the Sierra, bound for Honolulu, on
February 4th, a mere bachelor. He
returned on the same steamer yes
terday, occupying the bridal cabin and
bringing with him as bride one of the
haole bellies of Honolulu.
He met Mrs. Clarice Bodefeld at
the house OF mutual friends the sec
ond night after his arrival in Homo
lulu. He met her several times after
that, and the open-air life of the ISL
ands gave every opportunity for the
rapid advance from acquaintanceshiT
to friendship, and then to love.
Jones had to get back to New YorE
and his business, and had arranged
to return on the Sierra. -Four days be
/ fore the Sierra sailed he proposed tC
Mrs. Bodefeld, and it was arranged
/ that they should be married before
he left so that she could go back witt
| him 10 his home.
Mrs Bodefeld was formerly Miss
Clarice Weaver. She married Lieu
tenant Bodefeld in 1902. and obtainec
a divorce four years ago. Since tha
time she has been living in Honolulu
with her mother, Mrs. Eleanor Weav
err known and loved all over the coun

Mrs. Jones is a charming blonde
still young, and was a great social faV
orite in Honolulu.
The couple will stay for a few days
in San Francisco, and then will prc

WILHELIMINA
MAY GET MAILS

Many people were exercised in their
minds this morning as to why the
Wilhelmina had been brought in at
such a late hour last night instead Oh
coming in this morning on her sched-
ule time.
Inquiries on board showed that Cap
tain Matson had some business on
hand that he wanted to get to, but
what it was, of course, did not develop.
Some people said that Captain Matson
hurried the boat up merely as an ad-
vertisement, and so that he could say
that the flagship of his fleet had made
the journey in five days ten hours and
forty minutes, which is favorably COM
parable to the best times made by
some of the crack Pacific liners. 1t is
known that an effort was made to get
the vessel through last night, for the
health authorities were wirelessed to,
and asked whether they would pass
| the ship If she came at night.
The reduction in the time of jour
ney was not relished by all the pas
sengers, for they, it is said, WIRE not
J all pleased at having to remain up
until midnight to meet the doctor,
when the boat was not due until the
| next morning.
There would, however, seem to be
a motive underlying the speeding-up
process, and that is said to be in the
fight for the carriage Of the mails. Had
the p. NJ. S. S. Asia got the mails on
this occasion, it would have meant
a loss of about $1,000 to the Matson
company At least this is the com
putation made by some. The Wilhel
nina carried 1928 bags of mail, and the
rate is four cents a pound.
1t is thought by some that the chief
point is to try and obtain the carriage
of the mail to San Francisco on March
20. On that date the Sierra leaves
at the same hour as the Wilhelmina
J Previously when these two vessels
have left together the Sierra has car
ried the mails, so it is asserted tha
the Wilhelmina's burst of speed wal
but a preliminary effort to capture thi
portion of the trade.

BILL. CHANGED

The Senate immigration bin, with
important amendments, passed second
reading in the upper house this morn
ing.
This is the measure which seeks to
establish a department of labor, immi-
grafton and statistics, and the amend
ments placed in the bill on it's second
passage are significant and as impor-
tant as anything can be in the matter
of the territory's progress.
Originally the bill provided that in
the event of any complaints from i'm
migrants who had been brought to
these islands by the board of immigra-
ton, there should be an investigation
by the same board; but the most i'm
portant of the three principal amend
ments, provides that in the event of
any complaint from an immigrant, nc
matter whether that immigrant was
brought here by the board of immigra-
tion or by other means, it shall be the
compulsory duty of the commissioners
of immigration to investigate such
+ complaints, with a view to making
conditions here as satisfactory as pos.
sible to newcomers and future citi.
zens.
Another amendment specifies tha
the new commission is an institution
for immigration and not for emigra
ton, that it is the privilege and dut!
of the commission to bring people here
to man the agricultural land, not Il
send them back to their own countr,
from whence they came.
Some emigrants seem to have thu
idea that they can get a free trip t.
these islands and back again, Nithou
any other effort on their own part bu
eating and drinking. The amended
= act provides that an immigrant can
not become an emigrant except upol
his own responsibility.
He will be treated right when h.
arrives here and if he does not lilI
the country he can go back at hi
own expense.
The bill passed second reading Il
the Senate without any contest.
