Bio Fish Story.

1t is not often that a fish is large
enough to stop the progress of a
steamer, but an incident of this nature
occurred recently off the coast of Aus
tralia when a huge sunfish became
wedged under the port propeller Of the
steamboat Fiona. The engine, as the
account states, was brought up all
standing and the steamer stopped to
investigate the cause of the trouble.
1t was impossible to extricate the fish
at sea. and the steamer, which fortu-
nately was provided with twin screws,
proceeded slowly on her way with only
one engine working. The fish was re-
moved at Port Jackson and found to
weigh two tons fourteen hundred
weight-Museum News.

Season Closed.

The hunting season. on all sorts
of game, including rabbits and
squirrels, closed Saturday, Sep
TENDER 18th, until the quail season
begins on November Is. A few
years ago the Legislature passed
a law prohibiting any hunting of
any kind during the two months
preceding the season for quail
This was done because many peo-
pie would go out hunting under
the preteXt of killing rabbits, and
squirrels etc., and would also kill
quail before the law was out. In
order to stop this the law was
passed and it is now regarded
as primafacie evidence of guilt
to even be caught in the field with
a dog or gun DUNG the two
months.
Reports from the country indi-
cate that there will be a big crop
of quail this year, the spring and
and early summer months being
unusually dry, thus giving the
young birds a chance to grow up
quickly.

be the best in years.

ROMANCE OF THE FARM.
Three Institutions Have Made the Till
er Wealthy, Wise and Comfortable.

IHTCc NdoC tTC
er Wealthy, Wise and Comfortable.
The story of agricultural education
in America. like that of all science.
can be traced page after page in the
great book of evolution, and the amaz-
ing developmentof the industry in the
United States has been due to three
factors-frst, the state agricultural col
leges; second, the national department
of agriculture; third. the farmers IN
stitutes.
The American agricultural colleges
had their beginning in revolt against
the so called classical education, but 1t
was never intended, as their eminent
founder pointed out, that they should
be ASSOCIATED from broad and liberal
university training. Mr.. Justin S. Nor
rill, the author of the Magma Charta
of Higher Agricultural Education"
more than once stated the real purpose
of his bill. 1T is perhaps needless to
say that these colleges were not estab-
nshed or endowed for the sole purpose
of teaching agriculture. 1t was q
liberal education that was proposed.
Classical studies were not to be ex
cluded and therefore must be includ-
ed"
The number of agricultural colleges
now established is sixty-fve; the pres
ent value Of their permanent funds
and equipment is S1O0,000,0O0. re-
cent census showed 1888 students,
with 6,997 teachers.
The rise of the United States depart
ment of agriculture Is a romance OF
the last century. As far back as the
year 1922 strong effort was made to
transform the mall-some 200 acres
Of land which surrounded the capitol
buildings-then practically a barren
waste. into an experiment farm In
which to propagate new and rare
plants. But 1t was not until forty
years later that the United States de-
on the selfsame spot which had pre-
, yiously been sought as an experiment
farm.
The alpha and omega of this great
organization is the practical applica-
ton of modern science to the service
of the farmer. 1t can perhaps best be
summed up in a homely remark of
/ Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
on assigning new duties to an expert
said: Don't tell me now about your
D 10 horatorioS Toll mo what VOu are
doing for the man at the pillow, out
In the fields, with his coat of,
Then come the farmers institutes.
These Wonderful societies are scat
tered all over America and boast a
members roll of more than million
mature men and women. These insti-
tutes may be defined as societies es-
tablished for the promotion Of agricul'
ture among the farming population
and they came into being in order to
make the college teaching more prac-
teal and more in sympathy with the
needs of the farming community. They
have proved a great success and have
done much to speed forward the agri
cultural industry. Lectures are given
by agricultural experts and practical
farmers. and the meetings last only q
day or two at most. In this work the
farmers wives and daughters take g
prominent part. and women's insti
tutes are now established all over the
United States and Canada for the
study of household science.

Tim. to Spread Gypsum.

Gypsum. or "land plaster" ought to
be spread on meadows early in the

It available; therefore on lands that

potash which r. not very available

Says Hes Conservative.

Judge O'Rear says that he
is conservative.
What do you think Of that?
O'Rear conservative. That is
about the best joke of the sum-
mer. If there ever was a radi-
cal it was O'Rear when he first
begun his campaign. Has the
Judge found that radicalism does
not pay in Kentucky? Has he
determined that the public wants
none of him, as radical, and
therefore concludes that he had
best adopt the other end? 1t looks
that way; if, as he says, Judge
O'Rear is a conservative.
The truth is that Judge O'Rear
simply is trying to be all things
to all men. He is playing all ends
against each other. In con-
sentative community he poses as
a conservative. In Western Ken
lucky where he thinks radical
ism is popular, he outsteps the
most radical. He is trying to be
Prohibitionist, Populist, Republi-
can and Democrat, and reminds
one of the lightning change art
list who works in vaudeville cir
cults.
Judge O'Rear reminds one of
of the fleaIwhich was described
by the Irishman after this fash
ion:
Put your finger on him and
he amt there"
1t was a great surprise and
shock in Frankfort when the
News was received that Judge
O'Rear was a: conservative. 1t
was thoughtsthathe would make
his whole campaign on a radical
platform of his own making. He
has promised to turn the State
governmentgover and inside out

In the shaking process the bust
