THE A. & M. COLLEGE OF TEXAS
The Object, Purposes and Magnitude Of This
School Of Learning Agriculture
Taught To All Texas

line has been reduced from an al
most total loss to per cent that is so
slight as to be of no Importance. Thus
the Fat Stock Show may be held in
Fort Worth, the fairs over the State
conducted and fine cattle exhibited
without a fear of their falling vic
tim to the deadly fever which has its
inception in the fever tick.
But DR.. Francis did not stop there.
He and his associate, DR.. R. p. Mar
steller, have put in years in compound
ing a serum which will deliver the
knockout blow to hog cholera, the dis
ease that has reduced so many men
from plenty to want. Already this Sc
rum has resulted in the saving of
thousands of dollars to Texas farmers
and stockmen and the great men have
not stopped their labors.
The A. G NJ. College serves as an
information bureau to hundreds Of
citizens. The agricultural department
answers yearly 10000 letters, the State
experiment stations record runs even
higher the textile, civil, chemical and
electrical engineering departments
solve hundreds of problems for the
Texas people and Texas institutions
and answer literally thousands Of
questions.
DR.. G. S. Traps, state chemist, anal
Uses soils, fertilizers and feeds and
prescribes fertilizers for wasted lands
The plant pathologist, DR.. Blodgett,
discusses problems Of plant produc-
ton; in fact, anything that a Texas
farmer, gardener or live stock grower
wants to know can be answered at the
A. & NJ. College, either by the college
instructors or by the staff of experts
maintained at the experiment station.
For the student the A. & NJ. College
offers an amazing variety Of work. For
the mechanically inclined youth there
is the school of mechanical engineer
ing. Under E. ]. Fermier, head of that
department a hoy is given instruction
in carpenter work, blacksmithing and
in fact all work that will fit him to de-
sign, construct and erect machinery,
power plant equipment, and to operate
this with the greatest degree of effici-
ency at the lowest possible cost.
The electrical engineering depart
ment is one of the best equipped de-
partment in the school. Prof F. c.
Bolton, practical electrician and cap
able instructor, heads this department.
The college has its own power plant
and the cadets are taken there often
times for practical applications. Grad
yates of this school are to be found

Who A. & N. Students Are

SHOW me an alumnus OF the A. and
NJ. College and nine times out of every
ten I'll show you a man who Is making
good in his profession" says Presi-
dent Miner of the big State school.
And the figures justify this optimistic
statement by the head of the school.
On the farm in the civil electrical,
and mechanical engineering worlds, in
the textile mills, in the big labora-
tories chemical graduates of this
school are to be found, and they are
all making good. Many former A. and
NJ. men stand at the top rung Of the
ladder of their profession, and prac-
tically all A. and NJ men are making
creditable records in their work and
casting a favorable light on the work
done at the college.
While more than 10 per cent of the
graduates of the school of agriculture
are following that work; over 80 per
cent of the electrical engineering grad
yates pursuing that line, and so some
odd per cent of the civil engineering
graduates engaged in that field, still

given.
To the end that the A, & N. might
fit men to become city chemists and
fill positions in the big laboratories of
manufacturing industries the depart
ment of chemical engineering was
added to the college curriculum. I'm
der the direction of j. C. Blake this
department has grown into well es-
tablished division of the college. The
laboratory is equipped with every
modern convenience.
In other articles something is said
Of the departments of textile engineer
ing and the architectural school. Suf-
fee it to say here that these depart

ments are thoroughly equipped and are
headed by capable and experienced
men.
Now for a word about the agricul-
tural department This is the depart
ment which has sent back to the farm
or contributed to public schools and
higher Quotations of learning as In
structors in agricultural studies, sew
enty per cent of its graduates. 1t has
disseminated knowledge on important
farming questions to thousands of Tex
as farmers.
1t hasn't been many years since the
agricultural school was the little end
of the horn, so to speak, at the Texas
A. & NJ. College. But you can't keep

in the highest positions in the cleo
cal field.
Jimmie Nagle and d. w. Spence
have turned out more capable civil en-
gineers than any two men in the
South. Men who are instructed by
these two are to be found in every
quarter of the globe. The department
is we'll equipped and before another
year has passed a hydraulic laboratory
will be constructed. Instruction along
the lines of highway construction,

ton levees, irrigation and drainage ca

The Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas has a three-fold purpose
to conserve: 1t must train the army
of young Texans who each year en-
roll as students; it must carry the col
lege and the training to the farmers OF
Texas, and it must conduct investiga-
tions with the idea in view of devel-
oping the State and its reources. All
of these things the college must do to
be a successful A. and NJ. College.
That the College is succeeding in
this first mission is readily shown by
a glance at the positions held by the
graduates of the school. Important
posts in the field covered by the A. &
M. are held by her graduates not only
i'll Texas, but in other states as we'll.
More about the graduates is said in
another article in this issue.
Sufficient funds to permit the prop
er instruction of those who cannot at
tend school have never been given by
the State and consequently that work
has been hampered and greatly cur
tailed. The organization of an extern
sion department and the employment
of a capable man, an A. & NJ. gradu-
ate, by the way, to head that division
two years ago has resulted in the ac-
complishment of much good along this
line. Demonstration trains have been
operate, instructing thousands of
farmers on farming questions, prob
lens of road building and domestic
science; short courses have been con-
Quoted where farmers could be given
much practical training in very short
while, and corresponding courses
wherein farming, dairying and such
questions are laugh by experts, have
been organized and are offered free
of all costs save sufficient fees to
cover the actual expenses. But the
work of that department is also eX-
planned in another article.
AS to the research work. Discov-
cries by DR.. NJ. Francis, at the head
OF the veterinary science department,
have mennt saving to Texas live
stock growers that triples in value all
the money ever given to the A. & NJ.
College by the State. When DR.. Fran
els discovered that a fat steer, fine
animal for exhibit purposes, a regis
tered COW, could be vaccinated against
the Texas fever tick and brought be-
low the quarantine line without dan
ger or loss, he performed a greater
service for the livestock interests
than any man, any set of men, or any
institution has ever performed. The
death rate of cattle shipped below the

a squirrel on the ground and neither
could the intelligent farmers of the
State be kept from realizing that their
sons could not succeed as farmers un-
less they fitted themselves properly to
perform that calling. So the enroll
ment in this chool has grown with the
years and instruction on every topic
of possible interest to the farmer is
now given. Four separate courses are
offered: Agronomy, Horticulture, Ami
NAL Husbandry and Teachers
course
instruction in soils, farm machinery
and farm management, crops, dairy
farming and creamery management is
given in the Agronomy course.

branch of the G. q. G. Germania
Mutual Aid society will no doubt be or
ganized in this city, B. Korn Of Milwau-
kee, trustee of the society, being here
Wednesday for that purpose and ROherl
II. Radtke appointed as organizer. The
Central Verein of the G. U..G. Germania
was founded. organized and incorporated
July 10, 1883, and has been in successful
operation since that date. The object of
the society is to grant mutual and fnan-
cial aid to members and their families
in case of sickness and death, and is al
present composed Of the CentralVerein
and SO branch societies with a member
ship of over 5000. 1t is purely fra'er
nal association and is not connected III
any manner with any religious Organi
cation and knows neither password.
grip nor signs, being simply business
association for the benefit OF the mem
bers and families. The rates for insur-
ance are low as it Is on mutual basis
and it is seldom that an assessment is
levied. The society Obligates itself as
far as sick benefits are concerned to pay
to every member $500 week for rs
weeks, and after the same having already
received aid for 26 weeks at $500 a week
from his local society. The ages of ad-
mission to membership are from IL to
so years and medical examination is
required from each and every applicant
for admission. Since the incorporation
of the Central-Verein July 10, 1888 until
January 1, 1909, there was paid to fami-
lies and relatives of deceased members
1887 1921 and there is now on hand in
the treasury S276, 1880. The rates are
low and it is society in which all can
provide for themselves against sickness,
and for their families against death at a
very moderate monthly payment of
money.
