A Great Farm Laboratory

The State Farm is the laboratory
of the College of Agriculture, where
the student puts into actual practice
the theories that he has been taught
in the class room. He is not Obliged
to believe the book or the lecture;
he can go to the laboratory and see
the reality.
In the class room the student
listens to the lecture on dairying.
He then can go to the State Farm
Ia boratOry and separate the milk and
make the butter and cheese. In
the dairy laboratory $4,000 pounds
of butter are made yearly. While the
student is learning butter making
under scientific direction, he is also
producing something that is market
able. This butter is peddled thr ough
Columbia or sold directly from the
Dairy Building. The average price
is thirty cents pound.
Glasses of freshmen and short
course men, together with those
specializing in dairying, make this
butter. The residue from the but
ter making, skinned milk and but
ter-milk. is sold directly from the
Dairy Building. Several thousand
gallons of skinned milk is sold each
year, with 5000 gallons of butter
milk. Ten cents a gallon is received
for this by-product. In addition to
butter small amount of cream and
cottage cheese is made and sold
at the Dairy Building. AS yet lit
tie buttermilk cheese is made be-
cause there is little demand for it.
Another product of the dairy depart
ment is ice cream. The 5000 gal
Ions of ice cream which the stu
dents eat yearly at the Missouri
Store is all made at the State Farm.
Another laboratory of the College
of Agriculture is the orchard and
garden on the State Farm Here
the student is taught the most scien-

Shakespeare has been pronounced
"Licentious, unclean and objection
able by the young literary critics
OF the Hammond High School at Chi
cagO and they are being backed by
their teachers in the effort to have
the author of THE Tanning of the
Shrew." Venus and Adonis," and
"Pericles" banished from the cur
riculum. The chief literary socie-
ties of the school in presenting the
demand to the faculty, characterize
Shakespeare as cheap grand-stand
player" and 'an immOralist," and
ask that lbsen and Shaw be the
standard toward which the youthful
mind be taught to aim.

/ titic method of fruit and vegetable
culture. In this laboratory as wei
as in the dairy, marketable products
are produced. From the orchard
abOuts3O0 worth of apples areusually
sold each year. Grapes and peaches
this year netted the State $50. In
the garden $3.50 dollars worth OF
celery was produced this year Oh
one-fifth of an acre. This will not
be sold but will be saved for the
banquet of Farmers Week.
To take care of the tomatoes and
beans a cannery is maintained and
! this year orders have been taken
for S1,4OO worth of canned goods.
This year for the first time two hot
beds of lettuce are being grown. This
will be on the market about the
time when Columbians will dearly
cherish green things.

class work is finished on the animals
they are ready for the market and
are sold, new generation taking
their place.
From the department of agricul-
tural chemistry about fifty One-half
carcasses have been sold in the last
four years. One half is used for
chemical experiments and is not
salable. The other is used only
for the making of cross-sections and
photographs, and then sold.
Of course the State Farm does not
pay in dollars and cents. 1t is not
supposed to. and never will. 1t is
not money making proposition. But
it is laboratory in which students
receive scientific training and at the
same time show the public by a small

Some Aspects of Thackeray.

No one can know Thackeray well
without being the better for it, Lew
is Melville, author of Some Aspects
of Thackeray." knows him well.
'"Thackeray had no novelty to
teach in teaching the meaning of
life," he says. The old tale was
good enough for him to repeat. He
would have women good and pure
and men brave and true. He would
as he would have the young rever-
ence their elders. Success is but lit
tie, he preached, for the race is not
always to the swift, and the great
ntay be OverthrOwn and the lackey
exalted; but none the less
-"Or if you fail or if you rise,
Be each, pray God. gentleman. -
For many years Mr.. Melville has
studied Thackeray, his environments,
his works. his message to the world
until he has become known as a
Thackeray expert. He edited Thack-
eray's STORY Papers" in 1901 and
also a twenty-volume edition of his
works. The delightfully."- written
chapters of this book are truthful.
sympathetic and Illuminating. The
interest of the book is enhanced by
pictures of rare photographs and val
liable old prints. All in all, aside
from its intrinsic value as an au-
thoritative and timely book, it is an
essential contribution to the Thack-
cray literature. Little, Brown & Co.,
