how to handle farm machinery; how
to keep farm books and accounts;
what rural improvements are needed
and of how much Importance farmers
are as citizens. Every member Of the
class is required to choose a type OF
farm and plan the work on it for
year, keeping an account Of the bust
ness transactions necessary to run it.
Recently the boys have sheared the
college herd of 105 head of sheep.
Some of these boys never saw a sheep
before they came to college, but they
often do as neat a job Of shearing as
more experienced persons. These
boys do not use the oldfashioned
sheep shears, but a sheep shearing
machine. as shown in the illustration,
such as is now used on nearly every
sheep ranch OF course on the ranches
the shears are run by power which
is much cheaper than when two men
are required to operate them.
The boy who intended to shear the
sheep caught it and set on its rump
on a platform He kept the sleeps

What clever prankishness was that
Of the boys of West Lafayette college,
Ohio, who put oil in the milk for the
girls dormitory, causing twenty Of
the goods to become so i'll as to re-
quire the attendance of physicians!'
They were nearly as daring as the
young men of the Pacific coast insti-
tuition of learning who raided the
girls dormitories and frightened
some Of the occupants into Mysteries
by pulling them out of bed. The
twentieth century young man does
many things that would hardly have
occurred in any earlier age. Is it be-
cause OF the disappearance of the
birch as an aid to education?

The reason that Kansas is not
ranked with the best dairy states is
because the COWS are lacking. Farm
ers carry on dairying as a side line.
They do not care whether the COW is
making them a profit or not, If it pro-
duces enough milk for home use and
is making the grocery bills a little
lighter 1t does not cost any more
to keep a good COW than II costs to
keep a poor one.

GEORGIAN HEADS COMMISSION
Judson c. Clements Becomes Chair.
man Of If Interstate Commerce.

Judson c. Clements, of Georgia, sem
ior member of the Interstate COM
merce commission, and a democrat,
has been elected chairman of the COM
mission, in succession to Martin A..
Knapp, of New York.
While the commission is composed
of four republicans and three demo-
Gratis at present, it has been the uni
form policy of the commission since
it's creation to elect its senior men,
ber as chairman, entirely irrespective
of his political affiliations.
The election of chairman of the
commission is highly important, not
only to the transportation companies,
but by the shippers, and also to the
public generally.
The chairman is eX-officio one of
the mediators under the Erdman act,
which provides a means Of adjust
\ ment of controversies that may arise
between common carriers and their
employees.
MI. -C!cmcnts Is native OF Geor-
gia, born in 1S46 He was appointed
to the commission by President Cleve-
land, in March, 1892, and has re-
ceived three successive appointments.
He is regarded as one of the conserva-
tives of the commission, although for
many years he has advocated vigor-
ously, in public speeches. and before
Congress, the adequate supervision
and control by the government of
comomn carriers.
His efforts have been directed, as
shown by his decisions, to the protec-
ton Of stockholders, investors and the
public against practices declared both
legally and morally evil.

TO REAPPORTION STATE.
Bill introduced Providing for New
Distribution of House Members.

The loss of one representative by
each of six counties and the corre-
spending gain by each of six other
counties, in the membership OF the
State House of Representatives, are
provided for by a bill introduced by
Senator Lide, of Orangeburg. The re-
apportionment is to be made in ac-
cordance with the census of 1918,
which showed many changes in the
relative population Of the various
counties of South Carolina.
The counties which will lose one
representative each, according to the
terms of the bill, are: Charleston,
Berkeley, Beaufort, Aiken, Chester and
Fairfield.
The counties which will gain one
member each are: Anderson, Green
Vile, Dillon, Orangeburg, Richland
and Spartanburg.
