DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING STRONG At W.sC.

equipped with monstrous 2oo ooo
pound motor-driyen Reihle Universal
testing machine, two cement bri-
quette testing machines. vicat needles
ana other apparatus for making the
standard specification tests of cement
and cement mortars This labor.
atory occupies two floors of the aas+
end of the Hydraulic building. Unon
the larger machines on the main
moor, specimens of iron, steel. cast
and malleable iron, rope wire and
cables may be tested in tension. Col
umn tests of steel, concrete and wood
compression tests Of concretes wood
steei cast iron, etc, cross bridging
tests OF concrete, steel or wood NAV
also be made upon these machines
The making of the various tests Is
made possible to large extent by
the design and construction by mem
bers of the department of several spe
claI dial extensionmeters. compresso-
meters, deflectionme ters, etc.
During the coming year a Torsion
testing machine of so or 60 thousand
pound inches capacity will be added.
The department has been expand
ing so rapidly that a new building
has become necessary. The College
architect is now preparing plans for
it and work will commence on It in
side of the next year. When it is
completed the present mechincal
building will be re-fitted entirely as
shop building, new cupulo will
be added to the foundry and new pat
tern shop will be made out of the
present drawing room, one end of
which will be used for a vanishing
and finishing room for the wood
working department One of the
other rooms will be turned into an
automobile hospital.
The traction engineering work:
The department has a gasoline tract
or, new to these parts, of the
caterpillar type, manufactured and
loaned to the College by a California
firm 1t also has a gasoline tractor
of another type resem bling in appear
ance the ordinary steam tractors. of
which there are two or three. In
connection with the work of operat-
ing the tractors the students are
taught to set, line up to and belt
these tractors to threshing machines,
of which there are two full sized ma
chimes. 1t is very interesting sight
to see the various crews in hill climb
ing coupling contests. This course
has proven very popular among stu
dents of the Agricultural department,
many of whom elect it every year.

might have made from their impov-
erished land.
"A very admirable Lutheran
bishop, Grundtwig, saw that the
Danes must be kept at home, but that
they must be so educated as to make
their country fit for them to live in.
He saw that patriotism on an empty
stomach would not work, and he be-
gan to form the high schools, of
which there are some 1900 in Dem
mark today, which fostered and made
possible the idea of cooperation.
From 1S48, the year in which,
under the new constitution, it was
possible for the poor Dane to own
land in fee simple-the constitution
meaning the breaking up of the feu-
dial system of land tenures-until
1863, when Denmark lost Schleswig-
Holstein to Prussia. the Danes strug-
gled against terribly adverse circum-
stances, and then, under the impetus
which the high schools had given
them, they began to cooperate. In
the high schools, which are open only
to men over the age of 20 years, the
Danish farmers learned to trust one
another; they also learned that with
impoverished land and no capital
they could not compete there with the
great land owners who were begin
ming to sell great quantities of but
ter and hogs to England and Ger
many.
"The tendency in Denmark was
and is to constant increase of the
small farmers, but the small farmer
was practically nothing as an indi-
vidual. To control the British mar
ket for fresh butter and the colonial
market for canned butter it was
necessary that their product be the
same in quantity all the year and al
ways the same in quality To stand
ardize any product one must have an
enormous quantity of that product
and the power of controlling its quail
ity The Danish farmers, in order
to do this, began to form cooperative
societies.
This movement, fostered, as l
said, by Bishop Grundtwig's high
schools, began by the organization of
small societies of farm rs of various
districts. In these each man was al
lowed one vote, but he guaranteed
that he would supply to the cooper
alive creamery just so many pounds
of butter fat-butter fat being the
commodity in which he dealt-and
make himself liable Independently,
plus the unlimited liability of the CO.
operative society to. the government
bank for the amount of the capital
borrowed. The province of the bank
in this transaction is not the main
thing to be considered. The bank
must make a fair profit, but the bank
really exists for the benefit of the
farmers through the cooperative So
cieties, which they themselves
formed and which they themselves
govern.
To-day the Danish farmer buys

Education-practical education a
perfect system of cooperation, and
the intelligent assistance of the gov
eminent.
For instance, the only means of
living which the Danes have is agri-
culture. Denmark, like julius Gaze
sar's Gaul of ancient days, is divided
into three parts-butter, bacon and
eggs. Now, the government being
dependent upon the farmers does
everything in its power to increase
the number of small farmers, and
this it has done by making money as
cheap as possible for the farmers. 1t
controls a great series of banks, man
aged somewhat after the manner of
the Credit Foncier
IAN agricultural laborer in Den
mark who has worked on a farm for
five years, who is poor, and who has
a character so good that two reput-
able members of his commune will
certify to it, may obtain from one Of
these banks a loan of about 1882
in our money He obtains this solely
on his character and ability and not
by any material security he can of
fer With this money he may pur-
chase a farm of from 3 4 to IL acres
This farm means live and dead stock
on the land and the necessary imple-
ments for the working of it. The
amount loaned by the bank covers
probably nine-tenths of the value OF
the farm-not of the land, because
land in Denmark is never sold mere
ly as land. The farm is judged by
the value Of it's production for, let us
say. at least seven years in hard corn
which represents its ability to sustain
dairy cattle and hogs. This is an eX-
ample of the way in which the Danish
government encourages the multiple
cation of small farms.
"Now as to the question OF educa-
ton. 1t is compulsory. 1t has been
compulsory for many years and the
awakening of Denmark to the careful
use of its natural resources is due to
two things-the Danish sense OF the
practical value of practical education
and A series of disasters.
"The first disaster occurred in the
late '40's, when the discovery was
made that the Danes had SO impoV-
erished their soil by the continuous
growing of grain that bankruptcy
threatened, even the great landown-
ers being in danger. Then came the
closing of British ports to Danish
grain and the growth of American
competition, which killed OF what
ever prospects of profit the Danes

nothing individually. He uses no
| seeds till they have been tested by
the experts furnished by the coop
erative society. He buys his fertil-
izers, soya beans from Manchuria;
cotton and meal from the United
States, through the cooperative So
ciety. He never kills his own hogs,
though there are 500 hogs to every
1000 persons in Denmark, but sends
them to the cooperative bacon fac
tories, which were founded some time
in the SOS, when Germany refused
the Danish hog because of an out
break of swine fever The Danes in
stantly founded, with the assistance
of the government, large cooperative
bacon factories. In order to make
dairying possible the Danes had to
regenerate the land exhausted by the
lack of scientific treatment.
Denmark is not good grazing
country. The climate for grazing
purposes is probably the worst in the
world. There are only IA weeks in
the year when cattle can Craze ia the
open. In the COS and '70's the
Dane-lately in possession of his
land-found that he must root or
die, or become an exile, as the Irish
were, for the lack of assistance from
an intelligent government. He root
ed. That is, he saw the roots-the
tuBnip, the carrot and, above all, the
great sugar-beet root--could be used
not alone for feeding his dairy cattle,
but could be made most useful in re-
storing his exhausted soil; but he
did nothing at haphazard.
Being an educated man, he was
an open-minded man and he induced
his government to furnish scientific
experts who could finally answer any
question he might ask. AS an ex-
ample, let us take the small farmer
with three COWS, three hogs, four
head of small cattle, and horse or
two. He farms perhaps IL acres.
Now, it is a question with him as to
the rotation of his crops it is a ques-
ton as to the amount Of butter fat
each cow should produce. He has
through the cooperative society, the
use of a scientific expert, who visits
his farm every g days and answers
all these questions after consultation
with him. Furthermore, he keeps
duplicate set of books for the farmer
so that the farmer knows exactly the
am cunt of butter fat each cow yields
every week, when the cows are ex-
pected to calye, the value of the serV-
ice of every bull in use, and the exact
position of the farmer economically
and agriculturally. For this service
the farmer pays the expert 80 cents
yearly per COW, the government pay
ing the rest of the experts salary
the expert being attached to the
Royal Danish Cooperative Society.

prises Is, 900 square miles, which is.
I suppose, about four times the size

Miss Parker Deeds
Whole Estate In
Trust to Carter

Content to live on a very comfort
able and practically assured income,
and unwilling to burden herself or
her prospective husband with the ad-
ministration of great estate, Annie
Thelma Kahiluonapuaopiilani Parker,
the richest girl in Hawaii, yesterday
decided her entire property over to

cably.
Not only does Miss Parker place
practically the absolute management
of the big Parker Ranch in the hands
of her former guardian during her
minority, but she does it in a way
that she herself cannot undo. She
and her mother are guaranteed gen
erous monthly allowance from the net
income of the property, and in case
IF her death she may direct by will
the disposition of this income. AS to
the principal of the estate itself, she
may provide for such disposition of it
as she sees fit--after the death of her

ing by wet weather. AS a result the
vegetable is commanding a top price
on the coast and Honolulu is consid
cred fortunate by dealers in securing
large supply.
Onion culture in the islands, it is
thought, will receive an impetus
through the demand for the product,
as it is estimated crop raised here
can be sent to the coast in time to
command the highest prices each
year.
The market division of the depart.
ment of immigration, labor and sta
tlstics has succeeded in interesting q
number of gardeners in raising
onions and has found a ready mar.
ket for all produced. r, d, Wall, now
in charge of the market division, is
of the opinion, however, that attempts
should not be made to raise onions
on a large scale until experiments
have shown all conditions in the parti
cdlar section to be satisfactory.
