TEACHING FORESTRY
At PULLMAN COLLEGE
A Short Winter Course Value OF
Trees in Farming

In the United States we are slowly
Learning what they have known for hun
ereds of years in Europe-that no coun-
try is so purely agricultural in its re-
sources that it would not be benefited
by having forest covering on from
fifteen to twenty per cent of its area.
More crops can be produced on eighty
per cent of the land of any country if
the other twenty per cent is forested
than can be grown on one hundred per
cent without the influence OF forests.
The farmer is in position to take adj
vantage OF this fact in nature.
Because forestry and farm manage
ment go hand in hand, the forestry
courses at the college are planned to
assist the farmer. The winter school,
commencing January Q and continuing
for six weeks, offers this year number
Of forestry courses adapted to the needs
of farmers. Forest planting for pro-
tective purposes is emphasized and the
planting and management of the farm
woodlot is encouraged. Other phases
OF the work in forestry are especially
designed to train men for positions in
the national forests, some Of the tech
nical subjects being, forest history, sill
viculture, forest measurement, lumber
ing, national forest administration, for
est regulation, forest surveying, forest
botany, minerology and forest insects.

Printing in the United States

What the printers and publishers of
the country are doing has been made
the subject Of a special bulletin by the
census bureau, which finds that there
are %, 143 publications in the country,
with an aggregate circulation Of 1885,
458, 100 copies per issue. OF these
2,602 are dailies Exclusive of Sunday
with an aggregate circulation of a.
217,12 and 1907 are weeklies with
an aggregate circulation of 40, 822,o65.
With all due respect to the census bu-
reau if it has really established these
facts it has done something no other
agency has been able to accomplish.

Movable Agricultural Schools

The month of December marked a
new and important step in the develop
ment of practical agricultural education
in this state. The people of Lynden,
Whatcom county, in cooperation with
the agricultural extension department
of the state college, held six-day
dairy school. In like manner the peo-
pie of Cashmere conducted horticul-
tural school. The college furnished the
instructors and the communities furnish
ed the local accommodations, equip
ment and supplies. The Great Northern
railway furnished a car for the trans
portation of apparatus and equipment.
Both the schools received the en-
thusiastic approval of their respective
communities and both paid out fnan-
cially. Better still, each of them left a
strong and permanent influence for
better agricultural and improved rural
conditions.
At Lynden, December 11-16, over
200 farmers and farmers wives enrolled
for the school. The average daily at
tendance was $50. Several farmers
drove from eight to twelve miles
each morning and evening, while
others come in on the train.
A number of the rural schools
excused their older pupils and al
lowed them credit for attending the
course. Nearly every man had COWS
to milk and chores to do, but they
hustled and every morning the lectures
began promptly at 9:20. The laboratory
and demonstration work concluded at
3:45 each afternoon. Five members
of the college staff and one assistant
gave instruction in dairying, soils,
poultry and home management. At
the close of the first days work several
men said, well, that lecture on soils
and this afternoon on cattle judging
have been worth the cost of my ticket
for the whole week"
At Cashmere, December 1928, 800
people registered for the course, while
the average daily attendance was above
200, and just the week before Christ
mas. There the work was in charge OF
seven members OF the college staff and
instruction was given in the various
phases of fruit growing, orchard pests,
soils, fertilizers. poultry and home man
agement. Special sessions devoted to
fruit marketing and irrigation were adj
dressed by the leading authorities
of the state on these questions. Lee
lures began promptly at $3.50 each
forenoon, while the afternoons were de-
voted to practical field and pruning
work in the orchards. AS at Lynden
the interest was intense.
The sole purpose in all work of this
sort is the rapid and permanent i'm
provement Of agricultural conditions in
our state. The movable school has
demonstrated its value and the extern
sion department of the state college
hopes to conduct several such schools
in different parts Of the state during
1912.

COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.

We are behind all other parts
of the world in furnishing an OPP
portunity for a practical COM
mercial education. The chamber
of commerce of London took this
matter up a number of years
ago and now conducts examina-
lions all over the world. where
applicants can go through the
examination and receive a GER
tifcate of proficiency. according
to their merits. Throughout the
British empire the merchants
have agreed to give precedence
to the holders Of such certifi-
Gates. II we are going TO extend
our commerce to the West Indies
and to South America we must
have people here who can speak
the commercial languages of
those countries. and something
must be done to encourage stu
dents to take up and study those
languages.-A. Barton Hepburn,
President New York Chamber of
Commerce.

DEWEY SAW THE POINT.
He Paid Up After His Dog Had Been
Kicked Around.

Kicked Around.
Admiral Dewey had an English bull
dog of which he was very proud. So
marked was his affection for the dog
that an atmosphere Of "love me, love
my dog" had sprung up around the ad.
miral and the canine. 1t is further re.
ported that the animal came near caus
ing trouble between the head of the
navy and the late "Fighting Bob" Ev-
ans.
Admiral Dewey while on a tour Of
inspection when he was in command
of the Pacific squadron took the dog
along with him. He lost sight of his
pet on Evans ship, but in few min
utes saw him hurled skyward from the
companionway as if shot from a cata-
pult. With blood in his eye Admiral
Dewey rushed over to see the reason
for the sudden ascent, surmising cor
rectly that some one had kicked the
dog. He saw Fighting Bob" at the
foot of the steps.
Sir" roared the admiral, what do
you mean by kicking my dog?"
Sir" roared Evans in return, I'D
have kicked that dog if he had been
the property Of the president Of the
United States! He chewed the legs off
two pairs Of fifteen dollar trousers and
destroyed an edition de luxe of the
navy regulations
Dewey saw the point and paid for
new uniform trousers.-New York

Stamina Wood Dark Hues.

The appearance of walnut may be
given to white woods by painting or
sponging them with a concentrated
warm solution of permanganate Of
potassa. The effect is different on diff
ferent kinds of timber. some becoming
stained very rapidly. others requiring
more time for this result. The per-
manganate is decomposed by the woody
fiber. Brown peroxide of manganese is
precipitated. whichs is afterward re-
moved by washing with water. The
wood. when dry, may be vanished
and will be found to resemble very
closely the naturally dark woods.-Har.

OUR WORLD AS A MOON.
Fine Display Full Earth Would Give
to the Selenites.

Were we transported to the planet
Venus peculiar set of views could
be obtained Of our earth. enabling US
to see ourselves. to some extent at
least, as others see us. Venus Is about
the same size as the earth. Is some
what closer to the sun and has more
atmosphere than the earth. When
the earth and Venus are nearest to-
gether they are, of course, on the same
side of the sun, and in consequence Of
this the earth does not see more than
q very small part of Venus illuminat-
ed. but Venus. on the other hand. sees
all of one side of the earth illuminat-
ed and is therefore able to claim she
has something that takes the place of
a moon. for the earth to Venus at this
time looks very large and bright. al
most as much so as our moon does
to US.
If we could see all the Illuminated
surface of Venus on these occasions
we should have quite distinct sec
ond moon. When we do see all Of her
Illuminated surface she is on the op-
posite side of the sun from US and
consequently at an enormous distance,
vet she Is so brilliant as to prevent US
from seeing her surface distinctly.
But to our own moon we appear in
the best light as a moon. A full earth
as seen from the moon. according to
Todd and other astronomers. Is n very
inspiring sight. 1t can at once be
seen why this is necessarily true. The
earth Is several times larger than the
moon and would appear in the heav-
ems as q disk about fourteen times the
size of the moon. 1t would probably
shine with variable light. due to the
shifting clouds Of the earth. though
the light is. of course. reflected from
the sun. and the reflection Is due in
part to the upper surfaces of the
clouds.
The outlines of the continents Of the
earth appear very clearly to the moon
as if they were formed in PAPER
mache on n globe. Cities of compar-
atively large size could be made out
with ease in case observers were there
to make them out. The intensity Of
the reflected earth light would be as
much as fourteen moons and would
enable the Selenites. If such there
were, to read or work in comparative
daylight.-Harper's Weekly.

THE WALK TO THE WINDOW.

If your world needs you it will find
you.
1t will hunt you up and come to your
doorway and knock.
Or if you do business at Il window,
as does A. II. Clark of Mount Sterling.
ILL.,, it will find its way to your WIN.
dow.
1t is a much frequented walk, that
walk to Mr.. Clark's window. He has
a front door to his house with a ce-
ment walk leading thereto. And be
has another walk, but narrower, that
runs diagonally to the corner of his
house and thence to a window.
Right under this window the narrow
walk gets larger. 1t affords standing
room for two or three men.
And Mr. Clark's world comes to his
window Almost there is procession,
and when you stand near the window
you can see that Mr.. Clark is reclining
on his bed.
This is why:
Twenty-Five years ago the lower half
of his body was paralyzed. To all APP
pearance that was the knockout blow
for Mr. Clark, for he was a farmer and
stockman.
Nevertheless
Instead of this affection ending his
career it was rather the beginning of
greater activity and prosperity and USE
fulness.
He used the window and the walk
to the window
Usally Mr.. Clark feeds about 500 cat
tie every winter. He never sees one
of them. but he sees and knows the
men who do. Lying on his bed and
using his brains-and other men-he
has been unusually successful.
Moreover
He is acutely interested in the world s
affairs and in the affairs Of his neigh
borhood. He is devoted member
and supporter of his church. On Sun
day a telephone catches for his eager
ear every word of sermon and Of song
that enters into the worship of the
day.
But, best of all
he is mentor ana cOnnOant OF tne
men and women and children who al
all hours of the day come over the
walk to his window for counsel and
encourag cement. Seldom do they GO
away unhelped.
There is the picture: With hearty.
smiling face inside his window. where
the walk enlarges and ends. lies the
who CriyaS homo and ahnCr
His world needs and finds him.
