appreciation of the value of agricultural
education is apparently manifesting It.
self in the attendance of the short winter
courses offered by the college during
the past few years. Each year has seen
q slight gain; the present class present
ing the largest percentage OF gain OF any
class 10 the history of the university,
there being exactly 100 per cent in
crease. The facilities of the dairy
building for conducting dairy laboratory
work are being taxed to the utmost, not
only for the short course students but
for the regular classes in dairying. In
fact the building is already outgrown
and some provision will need to be made
very soon for the accommodation of
students. The forenoon of each day is
given to lecture work, beginning at 8
O'Clock In the morning and continuing
throughout the entire forenoon. In the
afternoon the students are divided into
two main sections:-section taking
laboratory work in farm crops, section 2
in dairying. The laboratory class In
dairying has been, on account Of its
size, again sub divided into three sec-
tions-one section devoting its time for
the first part of the course to the testing
of milk, section 2 to the separation of
milk, and section 8 to the making OF
butter. At certain periods In the
course these sections will be rotated so
that when the course has been complet-
ed each student will have had expert
ence in all three of the above named
lines.
For the first time in short course
work the students are being given labo-
ratory experience In dairy bacteriology.
The short courses In fruit growing
aud poultry husbandry open February
9th and continue for three weeks. Al
ready a large number OF students have
registered, and 1t Is expected that
respectable increase In attendance over
previous years will occur.
Any one interested in either Of these
courses can obtain detailed information
by addressing q letter to the College OF
Agriculture, Orono, Maine.
There is no expense attached to any OF
the short courses other than the railroad
fare, board and room. Board can be
secured for "a so to $500 per week.
Accommodation In the dormitory-
where q good room and satisfactory
board will be furnished-will cost $500
per week.

Corner in Altar of Roses

As result OF short crop, restrict
ed harvest through heat and conse-
quent high prices for the flowers, the
price Of altar OF roses is likely to be
unusually high this season. Private
advices give the Bulgarian crop at
$4,000 ounces, against 10000 ounces
last year, but other authorities con.
slider this estimate to be overstated by
a very large per cent.
At any rate distillers have to pay
as much as 5l1 cents a pound for the
flowers, as compared with 31a cents a
pound last year, and new season s
altar is being quoted at $2l.9O net an
English ounce. II Is estimated that
225 pounds OF flowers will be required
TO produce one ounce OF altar as
against the average requirement OF
100 pounds Local attempts to cor
ner the supplies threaten to advance

To the Editor Of The Times:
Nonr article the other day on the

all other games of chance looking
like ping-pong | defy President
Hutchins TO get on north-bound
Woodward car In front of the Pent.
chartrain in less than three trials,
the last one to include a Marathon
and a fight with the conductor. The
only rule that seems to be applied
with any regularity whatever is that
II the would-be passenger stands well
up near FOREST, the car stops half
way between the Pontchartrain and
RAILS II. on the other, he stands
well down in front OF the hotel, the
car runs up until the fender inter
feres with traffic on Fort-st Apply
ing this rule | have doped out sys-
TEN that seems TO beat the game
perez ntage when the motorman can
see you coming
Surprising then, that you are accom-
panied by lady or ladies, and chill
drel, you must allow one car TO go
by; merely observing where the rear
door rs when IL stops. We will say
that this car stopped two or three car
lengths from Fort-st. Then you place
the ladies and children as near Fort
st. as possible, having them stand
well back in order not to excite the
suspicious OF the motorman. Then
you take your stand down street
exactly where the last car stopped,
and when you see car coming put
on a little moving-picture-snow agony
to Indicate TO the motorman that you
are on important business and must
get that car or die in the attempt. OF
course, he will turn on the power and
run by as far as possible; when the
conductor will open the door, look
surprised that there are no pas
sengers. and give the signal to go
ahead as he closes the door. But right
here is where you get him. At the
instant he opens the door the most
active OF your party (who should be
specially .rained), PUSHES from the
curb and gets far enough inside the
door to prevent II closing. In the
meantime you arrive from the rear,
pick fight with the conductor, and
keep him SO well occupied that he has
no time to close the door until all
your party are aboard.
