IT PAYS FOR ITSELF.
Some Substantial Reasons for Main.
tanning X. s. A. @.

Manhattan, Jan. 25.-The expert
ments made by the agricultural col
lege to determine the best kind OF
wheat, corn and oats to plant in the
various parts of the state more than
pay for the colleges maintenance.
1t has been proved that the var
iety of grain that makes a fine yield
in the southern part of the state
will fail in the northern. The kind
that is best for the east will not do
for the west, where there is less
rain.
Much good is being done in other
lines. At present the animal hus-
bandry department Is carrying on an
experiment at TT. Riley in connec-
ton with the U. S. war department
to find the best combinations Of food
for horses. The experiment will take
year. More than seven hundred
horses are used in the experiment.
The veterinary department is also
doing good work in investigating the
causes and finding cure for cholera.
The department has found a serum
which prevents cholera.
The engineering department 10 car
rying on an Investigation Of cements
made by several companies and under
different conditions and proportions.
This is an important undertaking, as
the coming building material Of the
farm will be cement.
The dairy department has super
vised the building Of 35 cement silos
throughout the state in the last year.

TROUSERS FOR G. a. CASE.
But 1t is Feared They VIII Not Reach
Below the ''PateIla."

Some twenty-five Of the friends
and constituents Of Representative
@. A. Case. desiring to show their
sympathy with him in the recent
misfortune which befell him while
acting as peaeemaker in the Hodges
Ganse affray in the state treasurer's
office, have drafted resolutions to
that effect and have forwarded them
to Mr.. Case. together with sub
stantiaf token Of their sentiments.
The misfortune referred to con
sisted in the almost total destruc-
ton Of fine pair Of trousers. When
Mr.. Case waded into the battle be-
tween the two Democratic senators,
trying to restore order, the trousers
we're new and beautifully creased.
when he was fished out from under
meath the belllgerents, there was lit
tie left but the crease. The memorial
lists have therefore sent Nj. Case
a beautiful new pair OF trousers.
they are about ten inches Ions. made
Of white muslin trimmed in lagen-

Onicers OF the local typographical
union have received interesting booklets
from the technical education commission

pamphlet exploits the educational work

instruction is given by correspondence
and inculcates the principles that un-
derlie good typography. which have been
developed after many years OF expert
mental work by the inland Printer.
The course Is endowed by the Inter
national Typographical Union to such an
extent that 1t is sold to students tor less
than the actual cost Of tuition. In the
booklet are specimens OF work done by
students before they took these lessons
and specimens of the work they are doing
now. The comparisons prove that a
compositor can benefit greatly by instruc-
tion through correspondence. There are
also comments by students some OF
them In the forties-that substantiate
what the book shows regarding the Inn
provement in their work. Several report
that their wages have been increased. an

Ia Guicciardi. The great composer tells
OF the love which consumes him as fol-
lows:
Dearest Heartily letter is gone. I
only posted 1t yesterday. and already
am overcome with remorse-ferce and
litter remorse-that / should have writ
ten to you of the grief of separation and
the inner desolation Of my soul caused

last thing I would wish for Is to appear
In your eyes. I want to appear great
In your eyes. divinely blessed, and there

Truths Child.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
In the ancient mythology truth was a
goddess and the mother Of virtue. She
wore garments as white as snow; her
looks were serene, pleasant. courteous,
cheerful and yet modest: she was the
pledge Of all honesty. the bulwark of
honor and the light and Joy of human So
ciety.
Such was truth, which In these days is
much abused. We are SO apt to think II
we have truth on our side we have q
right to be proud, arbitrary and even in
solent; but when We act that way we
may be sure that the truth Is snot our
ally. Truth is not rude and unkind. 1t
does not bawl and below and shake its
fist under our nose. Truth Is friendly.
and when 1t isn't IT is q lie.
There is another thought one gets
from the NEUROLOGICAL faith. and that is
this. that virtue is the daughter Of truth
So II q mans life is presided over by
truth. 1t is necessarily virtuous and
honorable life, and II II isn't that kind
of a life he may know that 1t is born
Of error and wrong. When we see a man
attacking another or another's cause with
prejudice. hate and angry words. we turn
about and COUP street in sorrow. for
that man who has never learned that
there can be no truth not born of virtue.

Unionist Future Black.

In domestic politics, the leaders Of the
conservative party have begun to realize
that unless they succeed in winning q
large number OF seats in Scotland. the
unionists. the G. 0. p. Of Great Britain,
will never be sufficiently strong In num-
bers to return to Westminster to real
and lasting power.
The unionist success in Scotland at the
1895 election was attained chiefly on the
home rule issue; but that issue will not
again bring such good results The union
list majority in Scotland in 1900 was
the outcome Of war fever-a cause which,
1t Is hoped will never again be operative.
Thus, Of the causes which contributed
to the greatest success OF the unionist
party In Scotland one must be ruled out
as a negligible quantity and the other
regarded as diminishing force.
Mr.. Balfour, with whom / had talk
In the Constitutional Club the other day.
gave me an idea of what the causes of
Scotland's devotion to radicalism are. The
first one. he said, Is hereditary.
"A large number Of Scottish radicals -
he continued, "are radicals because their
fathers and grandfathers were SO. and
with their radicalism it is difficult to deal.
1t must be left to die out with the men
who confess 1t and it's future operation
be stopped by the education OF the young
and coming generations in the true
principles and benefits of unionism.
