SHOWING THEM.

That which a man sees he believes
says the Kansas Industralist. When q
visitor finds several pens of cattle OF
hogs of the same age and breeding,
but showing, in very striking differ
ence in development, the effects OF
several feeding experiments, that
visitor knows that information of
great significance, of much economic
imp ortance, is being recorded. If ever
he ridiculed science in animal hus-
bandry or sneered at book farming he
goes away converted.
When visitor goes to the conserv-
atories and there sees chinch bugs and
Hessian flies and grasshoppers and
other insect enemies in glass cages.
living in conditions identical as to
temperature and vegetation with field
conditions on the farms where their
species have done so much damage,
another fact has been established. The
visitor knows, perhaps for the first
time, that entomology covers a multi
tude of bugs and that science is
shadowing the enemies of profit and
contentment the better to destroy
them when their habits are no longer
secrets. He sees the growing wheat,
the bugs, the remedies, and the men
who know how, to work right. You
will never hear another word of ridi-
cule from that mans lips. H. knows
what he has seen and that settles it.
Obviously there is nothing so con-
vincing as a concrete demonstration.
Many persons know nothing, except
from reading, of the elaborate meth
DDS, of field tests until they see differ
ent plots on the college farm and hear
the results. They have no conception
of the meaning of engineering until
they see a hundreds boys at FORCES
making tools and machinery used
daily on every farm, or measuring and
saving and hammering in the wood
working rooms creating the things
that every boy and man should know
how to make. Engineering is mys
terry no longer when these visitors find
interested groups of boys around gas
and gasoline engines and traction en-
gines and farm machinery and see
them taking them apart and building
and rebuilding, or making castings of
iron or brass, or drawing plans for
bridges and barns and highways.
These things mean something. Chiefly
and primarily they drive home the
indubitabie fact that the farmers of
the future will have a lot of knowl-
edge that farmers of the past have
missed. And they mean that in a
well managed agricultural college no
student will go away with any con-
fused idea about the relationship be-
tween heads and hands or the dignity
of labor.

In tennis grunt and frown.
Or twist their faces in a knot
And smash their rackets down.

I'm off my game today
But Roland simply plays ahead;
He doesn't sulk, but grins;
And that is why, I've heard it said,
He almost always wins.
