A Free Course in Agriculture.

In order to encourage the study of al
vanced dairy methods the Missouri
State Board Of Agriculture offers a scliol-
arship OF $780, 90 for the purpose of pay
ing the expenses of a young man inter.
ested in dairying, during the Short Win
ter Course in Agriculture at Columbia
which begins November l, 1911.
The scholarship is to be awarded to
the winner of a contest in which those
who enter will be required to keep a
complete record of the mount OF milk
and butter fat produced by three or
more dairy cows during the month of
September. In determining the winner,
the record made by the cows, together
with the completeness of the report is to
count one half. The other half is to be
based upon the accuracy of an essay,
telling how the cows were fed and cared
for during the test and how the contest
ant would proceed to select cows fol
dairy purposes.
The contest is open to all bows In Mis-
souri, between the ages of 10 and 20 year!
who have not already attended an Agri
cultural College, 1t is hoped that
large number of boys will enter the con
test. The lessons learned during TN
one month of keeping records of botl
feed eaten and milk produced will ampl.
pay any boy for his time and effort.
The records Of each COW and the essa,
must be submitted before October Il
1911. Blanks for keeping records, di
rections for testing and any further in
formotion wanted will he furnished b

Ed, who did lot dare risk going to
bed for fear of missing the train,
agreed to sit up with him, so they
repaired to DIR. Bowline's Office.

hours with funny stories, etc. At

but alasl no Mrs. Nelson and chill

The Art of Embalmina.

The modern embalmers have not re-
covered the secret Of the art as prac-
ticed by the old Egyptians and prob

known to us as "mummies" buried
1900 or 1000 years ago are still In a
state OF perfect preservation. Back
Of the ancient art lay religious creed.
The ancient Egyptian believed that
after many thousands OF years the
soul came back to find its body and
that II IL was not found the soul wan
dered forever In misery and wretched-

sary to preserve the body. and hence,

SEEING THE FAR EAST.
II Should Be Viewed Through the BIZ
bile and ARABIAN Nights"

Die ana ARABIAN Nights.
The best books on the east, as every
one knows. are the Bible and the Ara.
bian Nights" and yet / found most
travellers were saturating themselves
with simplify descriptions of monu-
ments and places, with tabloids of his
tory, with technical paragraphs on ar
chitecture and the ethnic religions,
with figures about the height Of this
and the length of that or condensed
statistics of exports and imports and
the tonnage through the Suez canal
and dates about the Pharaohs and the
Mughals. No wonder they see nothing
know nothing, enjoy nothing and come
home bringing few expletives, adjec
tives and photographs which can be
had for small price In either New
York or London.
The first thing to do In going to the
east Is to turn your education out on
your desk so that you can get at the
bottom of II, and there you will find
the Bible and the ARABIAN Nights"
and the odyssey" and "Iliad' and
Virgil" and "Herodotus" and "Xeno-
phon," and you will realize what a
fool you were not to have devoted
moee time to them when you were
asked to do so. Guide books can get
you to the east, but they do not get
you inside 1t is temperament, not
trains, that counts.-Price Collier in
