BLUE GRASS PASTURE

+ Y. r. of Minnehaha county, makes
the following inquiry: What amount
of blue grass should be mixed with a
bushel Of timothy seed for pasture?
What is the difference between Ken
lucky and Canada blue grass
If YOU use nine pounds of timothy
seed with five pounds of blue grass,
you will have about the right amount
for pasture.
If rainfall is ample, you would per-
haps do well to SOW this with one
half bushel of early oats per acre,
probably cutting the oats for hay,
especially if the rainfall is light. If
rainfall is abundant, you could let the
oats ripen for grain if you so desire.
Kentucky blue grass is botanically
known as Poa p~ratensis. Canada
blue grass is Poa compressa, and as
the name of the latter indicates the
stem is compressed or fiat and this
may distinguish it from Poa praten-
sis.
Kentucky blue grass has more abun-
dant leaves and is a darker green than
Canada blue grass. Canada blue grass
also is tougher and mor recumbent.
1t has vigorous running root stalks
that look a good deal like the running
root stalks of quack grass. In locali-
ties where Kentucky blue grass will
do we'll, it is a better pasture grass
and a more highly yielding crop than
Canada blue grass. A. n. Hume, Ag-
economist, State College.

REVISING THE TARIFF

The democrats will attempt a re-
vision of the tariff. Too much should
not be expected along this line. Presi-
dent Wilson has given it out that the
revision would be one that would not
disturb business interests. Now, these
interests are so diversified that some
interests must be disturbed" if We are
to have anything but a revision up
ward. 1t is to be hoped that the agri-
cultural section will get some kind of
a prize out of this lottery. And what
the farmers of the northwest need is
an opportunity to buy what they need
on the same basis on which they are
forced to sell. This talk of doing this
or that for the farmer is generally
political wind. The farmer doesn't
need help. He is abundantly able to
take are of himself if given a fair
opportunity. The farmer sells his
grain in competition with the world
he sells his stock on a market where
a "gentleman's agl cement" prevents
competition. Give him an opportunity
to buy his timber, farm machinery
clothes, fuel, ETC., on a market equal
to that on which he must sell his pro.
duce and the farmer will ask no more
1t seems as if he was entitled TO this
without the asking.--De Smet indie

NAVAL TRAINING FOR STUDENTS

The navy department has proposed
to college presidents a plan by which
students in their vacation months
may obtain the splendid training dis
cipline aboard a warship affords with
out enlisting for a term of years in the
service. The department hopes to
thus increase and improve the person,
mel of the reserve available in emer-
gency. The university officials who
have thus far made comment on the
plan-including President Lowell of
Harvard who Is responsible for the
idea declare that it promises to give
young men an invaluable experience
under military regulations.
Students recommended by the uni.
versities where they are pursuing stu
dies, will be embarked on battleships
and armored cruisers under the COM
mand of one of the senior line officers
OF the vessel for a period of about two
months. Not more than twenty will
be taken aboard each ship and each
will be required to bind himself to
observe all the laws and regulations
governing enlisted men and to obey
all persons placed in authority over
them. They must be at least eighteen
years of g and one will be accepted
who have not completed at least two
years of their work in college. Train.
ing will be given in engineering, cleo
tricical work, gunnery, navigation and
boats besides general regulations and

has left prison, riding to his ather
office on a street car, instead or In the
automobile to which he had been &C
customed, and resolving to work in his
fathers factory at a small wage, Is
proof OF the value OF the experiment
If more fathers could steel them
selves to be a little harder with way
ward sons, there would be less mis-
chief in the world. Much that is label
ed sympathy and kindness is nothing
but pride apd ~selfishness. The instinct
of the average man with regard to
weak members Of his own family is to
protect and shelter them the effect OF
this being to make the weak still
weaker and more and more reluctant
to accept any responsibility in the
world. The Chicago man apparently
had a real sense Of duty. 1t would
have been much easier for him to pay
the fine, but in refusing to do so he
took away the crutches on which his
son had been leaning, and forced the
youth to find within himself the
strength that will enable him to walk
like a man.-Washington Post.

Observation-Disclosures" or bacteria, In
distinction from virus-vaccines. These
Observation-Disclosures are employed not
only for inoculating the healthy in
diyidual in order to protect against
infectious disease, such as typhoid
fever. the plague or tuberculosis, but
also for inoculating the diseased body
in order to stimulate the production
of protective substances when the
processes Of nature apparently are not
working sufficiently active toward re-
covery.
Tuberculin, Of which there are a
considerable number of varieties, is a
preyaratlon made from the germs~of
tuberculosis, so treated that the
poison ordinarily produced by these
bacilIi is killed or rendered %innocuous.
Tubercuiin is really a distinct kind of
bacterial vaccine used in the treat
ment of tuberculosis, and has been en-
pIoyed both for therapeutic and pre-
yentiye purposes.

INAUGURATION OF LINCOLN

The most dramatic Inauguration
was Lincoln's first. Every one realiz-
ed that civil war was imminent, pas
sion ran high, open threats had been
made that the hand of the assassin
would defeat the will of the people
and Lincoln would not be permitted to
take the cath as president. Many
members and senators had thrown up
their seats in congress to sit in the
congress of the c~onfedracy, many
clerks in the department were so de-
fiant and so contempuous of the power
of the government that they f%iagrantly
Haunted secession badges. Under
circumstances, and with no one know
ing what the day might bring forth,
Mr.. Lincoln took the historic ride
along Pennsylvania avenue that was
to lead to Valhalla. According to Gus
tom then fairly we'll established, Mr..
Buchanan, the outgoing president,
called for his successor at Wizards
hotel, where Mr.. Lincoln was staying,
and in an open barouche they drove to
the capital. So great was the fear that
an attempt would be made to assas-
sinate Mr.. Lincoln that a company OF
German sharpshooters was stationed
on the roofs Of the highest buildings
on Pennsylvania avenue Ball car
tridges had been served to them, and
their instructions were to fire if any
hostile demonstration was made. The
carriage was surrounded by a swarm
Of detectives and secret service agents
who kept the people at a safe dis.
lance. Mr.. Lincoln delivered his in
augural address from a platform in
front Of the capital, and near enough
to sweep the entire plaza with a bat
terry of light artillery, it's ~caissons fill
ed with grape and canister, the gun
ners at attention and ready for &C
ton. This force was under command
of Lieutenant General Scott, and the
veteran, who vas not mounted but
sat in a low carriage from which he
could see everything that went On,
would not have hesitated instantly to
have turned his guns loose had any
attempt been made to interfere with
the proceedings. AS every n knows,
they passed off without m~isadventure,
but tension w2s not relieved until the
new president returned to the white
house.-Harper's Weekly.

| routine of shipboard life. The fol-
lowing excerpt from a letter written
to college officials by Capt. G. G..
Marsh, u. S. N, explains certain re-
quirements of entry to this short
course in naval training:
"All students in one ship will be
messed together, in the general mess,
at a cost Of about forty cents a day
each. They will berth and mess in a
compartment set apart for them. The
outfit required TO be purchased will
consist Of a suit of blue dress uniform,
two shirts OF white undress, two white
hats, two or more undershirts of uni
form pattern, one blue flannel shirt.
one suit OF dungarees, a hammock
mattress and two mattress covers.
The cost of all the articles, which must
be obtained on board, will be about
$22. Until funds shall be appropriated
for naval reserve purposes all expense
incident to this naval training of stu
dents must be borne by themselves
There is, therefore, a s TO the
student in this enterprise of the navy
department. How better, though,
could the amount be expended by the
YOUNG tOlltS lldU wiz must OlutI-
wise idle his time away during the
summer vacation months? The plan
offers healthful employment with more
rigid exercise than college men are in
the habit of taking when not actually
in gymnasium or track training and in
addition there Is the disciplinary eX-
perience for which many youth enlist
for a term of years in order to obtain.
1T must be understood" says Capt.
Marsh, that this is no yachting trip
or summer excursion. 1t will involve
hard work, without much regard to
the hours of the day or night, for such
is the custom on board ship"
SO much the better. College boys
will enjoy to the utmost the vigorous
work they are compelled to do in sur
roundings so novel and that it will do
them vast good is a certainty. Mean
while the plan is an excellent device
to fit young men for service in the
event that they are called upon to de-
fend their country.-Sioux Falls Press.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SERUM
AND A VACCINE

THE Nature of Vaccines, Sera and
Tuberculins with Special Reference to
their Use in the Treatment of Tuber-
culosis" is the title of a timely article
which will appear in the April number
of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, the
Anti-Tuberculosis Magazine New
York; The article Is written by a we'll
known authority On clinical pathology.
The author states that the use of
meteorological preparations, such as
vaccines and sera is twofold, both for
the purpose Of producing immunity
against certain diseases and also for
the purpose OF assisting in the cure OF
certain disease processes. They are
used both upon healthy and upon sick
persons.
A serum may be defined as a fluid
separated from the clot of blood of
some animal which has previously
been immunized against the germ or
poison of a certain disease such as
diphtheria, or hay fever. 1t is admin
istered to cure q disease process In the
human body after the disease has
already developed and is not designed
as a preventive.

disease gu h as smallpox or hydro

some other animal afflicted with the

cast on, becomes sttenuated. Then.

A SENSIBLE FATHER

The Chicago manufacturer who per-
mitted his son to serve &c days in
prison when the payment of a fine of
$25 would have freed him may not
take with the Romans who sentenced
their sons to die so that equal justice
might prevail, but he deserves credit
for his common sense. Most rich
fathers do not love scapgrace sons
enough to let them go to Jail for their
follies. 1t is because they love them
selves and their pride better than their
sons that they pay the fines and try
to hush up the matter. Thus feeling
sure that the old man will protest
them, the sons go merrily on their
way without the slightest concern
for their offenses against society or
themselves.
Evidently the Chicago manufacturer
loved his son enough to let him go to
jail when he was convicted of having
insulted a young girl on the street. 1t
would not have benefited the young
mans character to protect him from
the penalty of his offense. He would
have felt himself above the law and
would have continued to trade upon
the parental weakness that had been
displayed toward him. 1t required
courage and considerable pocketing of
pride to do what the Chicago manu-
facturer resolved to do. 1t is hard for
any father to see his boy go to prison,
to see his name dragged in the dust,
and to steel himself against the plea
of his own flesh and blood. And yet
the spirit with which the young man

Helpful Hints on Bread Mdking
Have materials all at hand

Have materials all at hand
Silt three times, -four, salt and baking
powder, mix thoroughly.
Bake slowly enough to allow the bread
to rise before it crusts over, using q COW
cred pan to keep the surface soft. Re-
member that baking powder breads do
the greater part of the rising in the oven
and that baked bread can not rise. Let
it rise before baking.
X C Baking Powder is particularly
adapted to bread baking on account OF
Its long sustained action. 1t begins to
rise % soon a3 moisture is added, and
under the influence Of q gentlo heat, it
continues to give off its leavening gas for
fully half an hour. You cannot expect
the same results from old fashioned quicL-
acting baking powders. With K G Bal
ing Powder you are assured of u light,
palatable loaf.
Never, never knead baking powder
bread as n does yeast bread. Turn
from the mixing bowl into the baking pan.
Follow mixing and baking directions
carefully. Remember failures are not
simply bad luck, but bad ways. There
is a correct, scientific way for building
baked foods the same as for building
houses, and unless these rules are followed,
results cannot be perfect.
