ATTRACTIVE SUBJECTS TAUGHT
At AMES SUMMER SCHHOL.

Everybody is becoming interested
in agriculture and domestic science
and there is great demand for more
information regarding these popular
subjects. Busy people anxious to
study them but unable to leave their
work or homes during the regular
school year have been urging the Iowa
State College at Ames to offer a short
course in this work after college closes
in June which they have now decided
to do.
This summer school will be held at
the college June II 10 "a, 1911. and
will be preceded, followed and accom-
panied by conferences, conventions
round tables, etc, that will be OF
great interest to all who wish to know
more of the subject matter OF these
sciences and of the promotions OF
home. farm, garden, school and life
Coming at this time of the year it
is believed this summer school work
will appeal strongly TO teachers, min
listers, and housekeepers, so special
plans will be more TO suit their needs
Opportunity will also be given to
others whether professional men and
women or those interested largely in
agriculture as business to study any
chosen line or lines of work, the pur-
pose being to use the magnificent
educational plant at Ames for the
benefit of all who may find it possible
to be present.
Faculty.
The regular college faculty includ-
ing the extension department will
furnish much of the instruction. TO
these will be added specialists from
other institutions and states, and un.
usually successful educators from our
own state.
Subjects.
Glasses will be organized in the GER
tilted subjects and in various depart.
ments of agriculture, nature study,
and domestic science. Special atten.
ton will be paid to soils, botany.
dairying, fruits. vegetables, flowers,
grasses, weeds, insects, corn land

sanitation, decoration, management
etc.
In addition to regular class work
there will be lectures, demonstrations

THE PIONEERS
OF The PAST
The Covered Wagons, OK Teams, the
Old Brass Kettle, Are to be Re-
membered by Few Only.
OLD-TlME MILLER A CHARACTER
All Over the West Are the Old Home
steads Made BY Forefathers
of Long Ago.

What a jolly, tough lot of fellows
were the old pioneers, they that went
west in covered wagons, and took
the old brass kettle, the andirons, the
lynchpin wagon and the OK teams
with them, camping out nights, wad-
ing through the mud, fording streams,
climbing mountains, looking for
homes in the west, each hoping to
better his condition and find a new
colorado. The "wanderlust" was on
them as they blazed the trail to new
civilization. They also took along
those boys and girls that were NOR
ally the salt of the earth and physi-
cally so tough you could kick them
ten feet and they would rebound to
the starting point. These children,
who today are the parents of the very
bone and sinew of the nation, born
to prudent and careful saving, school
ed in the times of adversely, their
first lessons in life were the ones that
have made them a national bullwark
against danger
Tell big stories did you say? Yes,
many of the old fellows tell things
that sound strange to people OF today.
OF course they do, but life itself in
those old pioneer days is big story
as now truly related.
How many went into the wilderness
of prairie and forest, followed some
purling stream until they struck some
beauty spot of nature where woodland
and prairie met, or perhaps into the
heavy timbered country where each
must carve out his own home with al
axe before he could get his living
from the fruitful soil. Bubblins
spring afforded him an abundance OF
the finest water in the world, tuel
was there ready for the axe and sc
was the timber for their log houses
and cabins that were cosy and warm
! if not so very Ella borate or built or
strictly architectural lines. The
forage was cut for the stock and the
stubborn glebe" was turned an(
made ready for the crops on which
all depended for their provisions.
All over the western country are
the old homesteads made in this man
ner by our forefathers, and all ove1
the east TOO, but generation farthe
removed.
The pioneer was a daredevil
sort of fellow or he would never have
braved the dangers OF wild animals
and wilder men to get what, at mos
for the first generation, was littl'
more than brave livlihoOd.
Schools, churches and roads cam'
later on, these were all matters o
evolution that have been improved
simplified and systematized by TIM
and experience. Cities have beef
built on the sites of these old home
steads where the log houses used t.
stand with it's stick chimneys, roaring
fireplaces, and the strings OF apple
drying on the rafters and the hung
beef drying in strips over the Gimme

life was usually persuaded to return
further east where life was not so
strenuous and where people were not
so particular there was no room for
that kind OF people in those times.
The west, where is it? Originally
it was the west part Of Massachusetts
and Connecticut to the Pilgrim fathers.
later it was New York and Pennsyl
vania and the far west was beyond
thule to the York staters" 100 years
ago. The "wilds Of Illinois and
Wisconsin seventy years ago, across
the Mississippi was the home OF the
wild man and the buffalo sixty years
ago. Fifty years ago the Dakotas,
Kansas and Nebraska was the west,
the transcontinental roads pushed their
way through and there was no west
In California the comforts OF civil
cation are as plenteOus and bountiful
as they are in Maine today. The tim
bered countries settle slower and de-
velope slower than does the prairie
country, but homes, homes, homes,
are the rule of the entire land now,
one must leave the railroad far be-
hind and plunge into the forest to find
a log house, now or a specimen Of
the old time pioneer either
Verify, we live in great land,
and a great country of homes, from
the little necks in the mountain to the
wide stretches of the plains, where
the school house and the church have
crowded the tepee into circumscrib-
ed quarters, and fifty years from now
they will be known only as reminis-
cences of the past.
The future pioneer will have to go
either north or south, the west has
been reached. The United States is
now a nation, and her last wilds and
solitudes are being brought into civ
ilization by the railroad, the tele-
graph, the telephone and the mail
route, and by the march of progress
which for so many years has been
following the star of empire as west
ward it took its way.
And, what a grand heritage has
been left to their children by the pi-
oneers from Plymouth Rock to the

mantel. Old men of today remember
those old time homes and renew their
youth while relating scenes of toll and
danger. and withal, the social scenes
where true hearts and bright eyes
RESPONDED to each other as they
always have and always will so long
as time continues to roll.
And then came the old time miller
who followed the pioneer and hunted
out mill site where water power
could be conserved, and then told their
hired men to dam it," and a few
weeks later on the machinery would
come for the old fashioned grist mill
with it's two run Of buhr stones to
grind out the old fashioned flour of
the family" while you waited.
Sometimes it was a hard matter to
tell by the size of the sack which was
toll and which was grist, but it made
the bread of our forefathers, and they
had less sickness, fewer doctors and
enjoyed as good health as they do at
the present day, if the word of the
old pioneer can be trusted. But the
miller's daughter always had little
nicer hat and the miller's boy had the
best pair of skates when the winter
schools opened.
p 1t was an old saying, always let
the miller finish his story if you don't
want to be 'tolled' but once" and
another proposition was, while the
farmer told the story the miller tolled
the grist.'
In the school houses of rough logs
was taught the three RS and the
old hickory stick put more life into
the dull boys than weeks OF clodding
and moral suasion has ever done.

pioneer settlement, and the man who
was too lazy to hunt for the game or
catch the fish necessary to support

two or three farms in his whole coun-
ty that are now owned by members
of the same family that owned them
when he was a boy.
All this indicates that people do not
appreciate the value of farm life and
the possibility of getting a good living
from farm work Mr.. Marsh then
proceeded to bring out some of the
in modern farm oper-
ations. He said that one COW like
Rough I'd of Brickfeld would produce
six times as much food in year as
a two year old steer. He then drew
a comparison between the fertility re-
moved from the farm by selling the
grain and by feeding it to dairy cows.
He said that $4,000 worth of butter
removed exactly as much fertilizing
material as does SIG worth Of corn.
1t shows poor management he thinks,
for a farmer to sell his grain and ship
away the strength of his land when
he could just as we'll keep it on his
farm and at a greater profit.
Smaller farms and better farm
ing" is Mr.. Marsh's hobby. He be-
lieves that Iowa farmers should take
some pointers from the farmers in
the Guernsey island where they think
that ten or fifteen acres we'll titled
is great big job for a great big
man." Mr. Marsh is enthusiastic over
the chances for young men who are
taking up farming as a permanent oc
cupation.

the story of a certain family on the
island of Guernsey who mad lived in
the same house since 1910 and who
absolutely refused to sell certain Of
their COWS because they descended
from certain blood lines that had
been owned by the family for many
years and had been noted producers
Of show animals MI Marsh pointed
out the fact that our present system
of farming tends to mine the soil as
was done in the eastern part of this
country during the last century. He
believes that the fertility of the land
cannot or will not be properly main
tanned until the people build better
homes ana live on the same land for
a longer time, taking greater interest
in the cultivation of the crops and
the maintenance of soil fertility He
said also that there were nearly 100
men in his factory whose fathers
owned land in the county, and good
land at that, land that would be worth
1925 an acre at the present time
