, While schools OF agriculture we're
established In several states in the
middle OF the last century, the agri-
cultural college originated with the
Morrill, act. The Michigan A%gricultu-
raj college graduated its first class in
'61. In the early days the college Of
agriculture had little equipment and
few instructors and still fewer stu
dents. There was no science OF agri-
culture taught from the stand point OF
approved practice. Young men went
TO the agricultural college to study the
best practice. The field was new and
the methods OF the farmer were those
OF the pioneer. From the limited
class room and few instructors and
the study OF approved practice, We
have gone to the laboratory. the sci
ence OF agriculture. the extension de-
partment with its special train. dem
onstrations. and short r for
practical farmers and agriculture in
the public schools for boys and girls.
The modern agricultural college Is
broad In its scope and purpose There
Is no longer a serious attempt TO teach
the art of agriculture requiring years
OF experience 10 master the details
necessary 10 success. but emphasis is
placed upon the principles underlying
successful practice as determined by
careful experimental Investigation.

best evidence Of the value and sue
cess OF modern agricultural education
is found in the large number Of agri-
cultural college men who are actually
succeeding on the farm. The gradu-
ates OF the agricultural colleges are
usually enthusiastic business men and
much Of their success and profit Is a
result Of the Improvement Of the
wasteful methods OF the pioneer. In
addition TO the regular college work,
provision is made for a class Of stu
dents who. for one reason or another,
cannot inter on a four-year course In

instruction must necessarily be of a
more practical nature and deal with a

TO FORCE EARLY MOULTING
Fowls Should Be Confined for About
Ten Days and Given About One
Quarter Of Usual Ration.

To bring about early moulting. con.
fine the fowls in their various quar-.
tiers about August l. and for ten days
only allow them one-fourth Of their
usual rations. During this time they
lose flesh and stop laying.
Then liberate and feed them all the
corn. oats. peas. sunfower seed and
wheat they will eat. This auses a
rapid moult and the new feathers
start at once. The hens soon recover
from the process and begin to lay reg
ularly about October l..
The ration for laying hens should
not be too heavy. but should be varied
at frequent intervals. With your grain

flesh meat and bones. is essential,
Some green food too must be given.
Experiments at the New York station
showed hat the product OF eggs from
hens fed on corn meal was from 2s &c
81 per cent. greater than from hens
kept on a more heterogeneous ration.

Hog Feeding Experiment.

The animal husbandry department
Is conducting a feeding experiment
on hogs for the purpose OF testing
out the value Of grinding corn for
dry lot feeding with hogs of different
nges. The hogs are divided into lots
weighing 40. 100. $50 and 200 pounds
respectively. One lot Of each weight
OF hogs receive ear corn and tank
age. one lot Of each receives shelled
corn and tankage, and one lot Of each
receives corn meal and tankage. This
makes twelve lots of hogs Of four
different ages by means Of which the
relative value OF ear corn. shelled
corn, and corn meal may be tested.

TO HAVE SERVICE
 FOR DR. HANDLEY

After the meeting of the Pastors union yesterday morning the memorial commit tee of the Handley Memorial association held a meeting and announced a service in honor of Dr. Luman s. Handley for next Sunday afternoon at the Presby- terian church.
 The Rev. A. J. Dickinson, who is chair man of the committee, said yesterday that full details of the meeting to be held next Sunday had not been mapped out, but were being arranged, and would be announced as soon as completed.
 It is said to be the intention of, the com mittee of ministers to prepare one of the most interesting memorial programmes ever held here in memory of their dead associate. With the meeting it is planned to launch the movement to erect monu- ment to the memory of Dr. Handley.
 The organization to build the monument or to erect the memorial has been com pleted, but no formal declaration has ever been made to the citizens of the city as to the movement.
 At the memorial meeting it Is expected that the address which is being planned will be ready for distribution, and this with the meeting will formally introduce the movement and its plans to those who attend
