SEVENTY YEARS OLD AND EARN.
ING A GOOD LIVING.

In the Live Stock and Dairy" de-
partment of the current issue of Farm
and Fireside a contributor tells, as
follows, about an old gentleman and
his wife who are making good living
in the dairy business:
Rev. w. l.. Patterson and wife, my
neighbors here in Texas, both of
whom are over seventy years of age,
are making a splendid demonstration
of what people well along in life can
do in the dairy business.
when Rev. Patterson's eyesight
began to fail he gave up the ministry
and went to work to make a living
from his little farm. He started in
with two or three Jersey COWS, and
he has gradually increased his herd
until he now has about fifteen head
of high grade Jerseys
"At first Mr. and Mrs. Patterson
found slow sale for their butter, not
realizing more than fifteen or twenty
cents pound for it. Mrs. Patterson
soon learned that the best was what
people wanted, and she set in to make
the best. She succeeded
"She puts printed slip, bearing her
name and address, in with every
pound of butter that she sends to mar.
ket and her customers accept that
slip as guarantee
MIR, and Mrs. Patterson now sell
about thirty pounds of butter a week
at thirty cents pound.
MIR. Patterson used to have to drive
six miles to the nearest shipping point
to send his butter to market, But
parcel post has removed this bugbear
He can now send it from his own gate
direct to his customers at very small
cost.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson do their
own milking and butter making. How
many other people over seventy wears
old can boast of such achievements ~

CUTTING Out a Meal.

Physicians are commonly advising
patients whose troubles arise from
overeating- these are legion-to
cut out one meal, preferably break
fast The London Lancet remarks that
the reason for this Is that after a
nights sleep the bodily strength, nerv'
Gus and muscular. Is at Its highest, and
work can be carried ON without food
The machine is running strongly and
no fuel is required for the time being"
Men engaged in literary or intellectual
work can often do their very best In
the early morning before breakfast.
The Lancet deprecates the heavy
breakfast and advocates the coffee
and rolls" which are all that is eaten
for breakfast on the continent OF Eu-
rope. especially for men whose work
is Of the brain rather than Of the mus
cles These men. 1t says. should 'rele-
gate anything approaching a hearty
meal to the period Of relaxation. the
evening""

WOULD HARMONlZE THE UNIVER
sITY AND A. G. M. COLLEGS.

Maurice Hirsch, in an article ap-
pearing in the Daily Texan, published
by the students of the State Univer-
sity, makes strong appeal for har-
mony, between the University and the
A. & M. College, and places his plea
on high and patriotic grounds.
Among other things he says:
"The students and alumni of the
University of Texas are credited with
as loyal a spirit and as deep a love
for the University as any institution
of learning can pride itself on. This
loyalty, though admirable in every
respect and not one iota to be dis
couraged, has in itself retarded the
advancement of the University. 10y
atty and love should not make blind
partisans of us and thus cause a mar
rowing of our ideals. 1t is, of course.
to be realized that the struggle for
the attainment of a limited ideal is
the natural struggle, and especially is
this true when that limitation is co.
extensive with that with which we
have our closest association and de-
sires. A Texas Congressman is, for
instance, very much more enthusiastic
in support of a waterway project in
Texas than in support of a general
plan for the development of water
ways throughout the country. But
this localized spirit should and must
yield to the broader ideal; and par
ticularly when 1t is understood that
the local attainment is more easily,
quickly and effectively accomplished
through the advocacy of the more uni
versal plan.
"ln Texas we have seen a striking
example of the futility of extreme
craftsmanship in the antagonism be-
tween the University and the Agri.
cultural and Mechanical College.
Each has conceived of itself an iso-
lated combatant in the struggle for
improvement, and has even turned its
efforts against the other The sup
porters of the University and of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
should by now have profited by their
dearly purchased experience. It is
only when they shall forget that they
are the chamnions of On in,.;.,,.;
and learn that they are in reality the
champions of cause that each shall
succeed in satisfying its needs and at.
tain the realization of its hopes"
