LARGEST AT U. OE M.
Short Course Glass in General Aeri.
culture and Dairying.

The short course in general agrieul-
ture and dairying opened Tuesday
morning with a registration of 81
with other students expected to arrive
later in the week. A growing appre-
citation of the value of agricultural
education is apparently manifesting
itself in the attendance at the short
winter courses offered by the college
during the past few years. Each year
has seen a slight gain; the present
class presenting the largest percent
lage of gain of any class in the his
tory OF the University, there being ex
IactlY 100 per cent. increase. 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
land some provision will need to be
made very soon for the accommodation
OF students. The forenoon of each
day is given to lecture work, begin
ming at o'clock in the morning and
continuing throughout the entire fore
noon. In the afternoon the students
are divided into two main sections;
section l taking laboratory work in
farm crops. section in dairying. The
laboratory class in dairSinS has been,
on account of its size. again sub
divided into three seetions-one see
ton deVeting its time for the first
part Of the course to the testing of
milk. section to the separation of
milk. and section 3 10 the making Of
butter. At certain periods in the
course these sections will be rotated
SO that when the course has been
completed each student viii have had
experience in all three of the above
named lines. -
For the first time in short course
work the students are being given
laboratory experience in dairy bae-
teriology.
The short courses in fruit growing
and poultry husbandry open February
9th and continue for three weeks. Al
ready a large number Of students have
registered. and il is expected that a
respectable increase in attendance
over previous years will occur.
Any one Interested in either of these
courses can obtain detailed informa-
ton by addressing letter To the Col
lege 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 $4.5o to $500 per
week. Accommodations i'm the dormi-
torX-where good room and salts

words:

who is handing you your check for
your services, or who is giving you
the envelope which contains your pay.
You are not working for that person.
You are selling taeir goods. but, first
and last and all the time you are
working for yourselves. If you fail to
sell a piece Of goods because of your
own weakness or indifference, you do
not hurt the house you are working
for. That is an incident. You pass
out of their existence and they con-
tinue; but you are hurting your
selves. Every time you make sale it
makes you stronger for the next one.
When you are working selling, it is
not for the house. it is for you; and
every time you fail you hurt yourself;
you do not hurt the house you are
working for.

Judicial Wisdom.

Indiana has a good pure food law
and. more important still. it has eff
fieient and active officers to enforce
il. One of the valuable provisions
of the Indiana act was designed to
protect the public from the sale of
impure milk. The newspapers have
Indiana dairyman was found by the
state inspectors to be selling dirty
milk. The officers purchased some
of this milk for the purpose of secur-
ing evidence against the dairyman.
They found the dirt and the dairyman
was prosecuted for selling a filthy
product. When the case came into
court, the attorneys for the milk deal
er maintained that their client was
not guilty of violating the law because
1t must be shown that the milk was
purchased for human food. when, as
a matter of fact. it was purchased in
this instance for purposes of ANALYSIS.
The judge before whom the case came
sustained the motion of the de-
PENDANTS attorneys and held that the
dairyman was not guilty of an offense
under the Indiana Food and Drugs
Act. The Journal of the American
Medical Association reports this de-
eision in a recent issue and says that
it refrains from commenting on this
