Short Courses In Agriculture Pay.

The time has long since passed wher
the value of the short courses in agricul
ture could be questioned. The invest
ment 10 small, made up only Of the rail
road fare, board and room while at Oro
no. The returns are immediate and
lasting.
The short courses in fruit growing
and poultry management open February
4th and run for three weeks. Lectures
will be given during each hour of the
forenoons, and the afternoons will be
occupied in actual practice work. Are
you interested In fruit growing? II So
it. will pay you to take the short course,
1t is intensely practical in scope. l,
does not deal with theories. 1t intro
duces for detailed study those orchard
practices which are recognized as mod
ern, scientific and economic.
If you are planning TO establish new
orchard, or renovate an old one, most
certainly many problems will present
themselves. 1t Is important that they
shall be settled right. Always there are
problems Of pruning, spraying, grating,
fertilizing in orchard management; there
are problems of varieties of fruit to pul
out, of packing and marketing. These
problems will be dealt with in detail ir
this short course.
The course Is 80 arranged that tht
most important lectures in the poultry
management course will be open to the
students in this course.
Arrangements have been made witt
prominent fruit growers in the state to
deliver lectures during the course II
fruit growing, and every effort is being
made to give the best short course the
college has ever offered.
Circulars giving full details concerning
these courses will be forwarded on ap

clergyman in regard 10 sickness OF one OF
his children from which quote as follows:
"Our t'yo-year-old baby was very sick
a two I,tfeIent times and we came near
losing her. We had the best doctors,
but they did not know what the trouble
was. In the FIRST sickness she had high fever
for several days, and the doctor said il acted
like scarlet fever, but as there were no other
cases he did not think it could be. After
wards she broke out in rash all over her
body. The last sickness was similar and
the doctor was puzzled. She was very
nervous and we feared we would lose her.
Your DR.. True's Elixir was recommended,
and after two DAYS use she passed several
worms from two TO three inches in length,
and is now we'll and strong and sleeps at
nights swithoutfret,ing, tossing and starting
in fright as she did formerly"

cares 10 write to me.

POETICAL FEATS.

Difficult Rimes Had No Terrors For
Browning or Byron.
Poets may be baffled In their search
for rimes, but 1t takes a great deal to
battle the doggerel rimester. Charles

''porringer." The reward was claimed
with the following marriage announce
ment:
The Duke Of York daughter had.
He gave the Prince Of Orange her.
30 now your majesty will see
I've found rime for porringer.
Browning's Preparations In rime are
probably unique in English poetry.
Here is a couplet from "Sordello"
which no minor poet would dare te
print for fear Of blasting his reputa'
ton:
Chirrups the contumacious grasshopper;
RustIes the lizard and the oushats chirre.
In the same poem he rimes "sulk'
ed" with "mulct," flag" with "quag,'
"abhors" with "valvassors." But he
reached the climax surely in the cou'
plet:
You trample our beds Of ranunculus.
And you Tommy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
cle'' Us.
The worthy and reverend author OF
the "Ingoldsby Legends" was fond OF
such rimes as:
A long yellow pinaforc
Hangs down each chin afore.
or such riming gymnastics as:

But I'm out on visit, and nobody has II
