The horn Is more often cut too high

cut the horn too close. and the horn
cuts easier low. The wound also heals

Short Course for Women

January 6, 1912, is the date an
nounced for the opening of the Short
Course for women at the Missouri
College of Agriculture. This is one
of the new courses established by the
University last winter. Its purpose
Is to offer to the young women of
Missouri the same chances that are
offered to the young men through the
Two Year Winter Course, which in
the past two years has been attended
by over 600 students. The Short
Course for Women continues for sew
en- weeks, in which time all the most
practical and fundamental facts relat-
ing to the economy of the farm home
are considered. It is a fact that good
management in the home is of as
great Importance as good manage
ment of the farm. There is large
field for this new course for womb
and present indications suggest that
many of the most enterprising women
of the State will hasten to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity. Full in
formation in regard to the course may
be obtained by writing to the College
of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.

Two new courses are offered by
the College of Agriculture, for the
period of seven weeks, beginning
January 9Th and closing February

Course in Dairying and the Special
Poultry Course. The former is
planned especially to meet the needs
of men who wish to become creamery
operators. The special course in
poultry raising is intended primarily
for persons who wish to specialize in
raising poultry. Information in re-
gard to either of these two courses
may be had by writing to the College

1t need not be inexpensive matter
financially to develop such a herd.
They should be made to pay their way
and more too in the sale of dairy prod

build up great reputation in year
He should first of all bring his herd
to position where it deserves to be
we'll known. Then he must see that
it is brought to the attention of the
people of the state.
AS to how rapidly herd will in
crease, it might be said that the pres.
ent herd of Holsteins at the University
of Missouri, owned by the dairy de-
partment, now numbers 35-head These
are all descendants from four cows
which were purchased by the writer
in 1902 at cost of $3.50. Animals
have been sold from this herd for
breeding purposes to the amount of
five times the cost price, and we have
over 80 females now which are worth
at least ten times the cost of the
stock.

where no young stock is raised AL
though this Is bad practice, it should
be taken into account as one of the
factors that operates to keep up the
price of cattle.
The great mass of the cattle that
supply the market with dairy products

on who is situated to undertake the
breeding of pure bred cattle. and it
would be mistake to over emphasize
this line of farming. In fact. it is
more often necessary to warn the be-
ginrers against spending too much
money and expecting too much from
pure bred cattle. than it is to urge
them to take up this line

BELGIAN KINGS.

The drst@king@ of Belgian was Leo poldssI-. Prince of Saxe- -Coburg, who was born 123 years ago to-day, Dec IS, a7eO, acceded to the throne in 1884, and died in 1865. He married Princess Louise, daughter of King Louis Philippe of France. Their son, the late Leopold IT., notorious for his connection with the Congo atrocities and his rnorganatic matrimonial alli- mnces, succeeded. to the throne in 1865 and was called to his reward four years ago%come tomorrow. He was succeeded by his nephew, Albert l., the onlyson of Leopold IT, having died at the age of ten. Prior to the es- tabIishment of the monarchy and the founding of a new royal house, Bel giuzn was the southern portion of the Netherlands, and at earlier periods in its history had been ruled by Ger many, Austria, Spains Burgundy, France and Rome. The separation from Holland in 1880 followed suc- cessfuI revolution, which began in Brussels and swept over the coun- try The crown was offered to the Duke de Nemours, but his father, the French king, refused his consent. Leo poId, Prince of Saxe-Coburg, was then offered the crowd, and, accepting the honor became the founder of a new dynasty.

Prof Edward Emerson Barnard. who discovered the fifth satellite of Jupiter and nearly score of comets, was born in Nashville, Tenn, fifty six years ago to-day. From his boy hood he was interested in the study of astronomy. He was the astrono- mer of the Vanderbilt University Ob- servatory while still an undergraduate at that southern institution. in 1887 he became astronomer at Lick Ob- servatory in California, remaining there until 1895, when he went to Yeskes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis His discovery of the Jupiter sa- teIlite in 1892 gave him a worldwide fame among astronomers, and he was honored with the gold medals of the French Academy of Sciences and the Royal Astronomical Society of Great Britain, while degrees were conferred upon him by the University of the Pa ci1c. Queens University and other ed- ucationaI institutions.

been oppressed but because they have
 been or are to be deprived of the
 privilege of expressing others. When
 the manufacturing trusts, the concen-
 trated money power and the combined
 railroad interests of the United States
 agree to be miserable they have the
 power to extend their wretchedness to
 many others.
 The trusts want to be let alone. The money power wants a central bank. The railroads insist upon higher freight rates. Is any one of these as- pirations to be realized as a result of hard times? For the first time in more than
 generation the people have prospect of equal laws honestly administered, of wrongs seemingly invincible in the way of correction, and of public bur dens long unfairly apportioned ad- justed with regard to reason and right.

NEW LORD ASHBOURNE, 45
 TO-DAY, WEAKER OF KILTS

Kilts are usually considered the dis tinctive gorb of the Scottish High flanders, and few know that the mas culine petticoat'' was once a part of the national costume of Irishmen. The new Lord Ashbourne has not forgot ten this fact, however, and he often appears in public wearing the saffron coIored kits which adorned Erin's sons many centuries ago. Baron Ash bourne, who was the Hon. William Gibson until he acceded to the barony on the death of his father last May, will pass his forty-ffth milestone to- day, so his adoption of the ancient garb is no mere vagary of youth. In addition to his predilection for the old Irish dress, he speaks the ancient lam guage of the Emerald Isle He is an enthusiastic Nationalist and Home Rule advocate, and is a convert to Catholicism His evident desire to become the most Irish of Irishmen was not pleasing to the late Baron, who, in his will, cut off his eldest son and heir to the title with only S4,O0O, the remainder of his fortune about s45O,OOO, going to his second son, Ed ward Gibson. The late Lord Ash bourne was a noted Unionist leader He was Edward Gibson until he was created a baron in 1885. He was At torney-Genera1 for Ireland from 1877 to 1880, and later was Lord Chancellor of Ireland, with a seat in the cabinet, for three times under Conservative governments. He was the originator of the land purchase legislation to fla cilitate the sale of Irish holdings to tenants The late Baron was as ar dent Conservative as his son is a Nationalist.
 The second Baron Ashbourne was educated at Dublic University and a, Oxford He is the author of ''The Abbe de Lamennais and the Liberal Catholic Movement in France" and a frequent contributor to magazines and reviews on Irish affairs
 The fourth Earl of Craven, who married Cornelia, daughter of the late Bradley Martin, the American capital ist, was born forty-five years ago to- day, Dec. 16. 1888, and succeeded his father in the earIdom thirty years ago. The Earl and his American wife are leaders in English society, and the former was recently given the honorary office of Lord Lieutenant of the County of Warwick. Coombe Ab- bey, the ancestral mansion at Coven- try, contains many rare art treasures, including the collection of the late Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. The ancestors of the Earl have been barons since 1885 The ear1dom was creat- ed in 1901, and the first Earl was also made Viscount Ellington, a title since borne by the heirs to the earIdom. The Earl married Miss Bradley twenty years ago, and a son was born to them four years later.
