From the Outlook.
The Outlook recorded with pleasure
the fact that the Uncle Remus Me-
mortal Association has secured the
''Wren's Nest" home of the late Joel
Chandler Harris, as a monument 10
his memory. Few writer's have been
so deservedly beloved as the spokes-
man of Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Fox.
His death was a loss not only to Amer
ican letters but to American life as
we'll The same association is now
hoping to add to its present holdings

Fancy sewing baskets. needles and

many coIored knick- -knac,ss have been

the children they have bright red sleds

for the little fellows UP North who are
used to the heavy woolen sledges bound
together with sinews.- There care also
two barrels of stick and fancy candy of
which the Eskimos are fond. As far
as could be learned there were no gum
drops. the confection made famous by
DIR. Cook.
With all the gayety aboard, and the
hustle and hurry Of preparation. there is
still a note of sadness. because Of the
fate of the man for whom the expedition
is named. George Borup. He was a
companion of Macmillan. and was with
Peary in his polar trip. Borup was to
have headed this expedition, but was
drowned last year while canoeing or
the Connecticut coast. He planned the
present expedition. and did much of the
actual preparatory work for it. One
cannot speak to Macmillan Of Borup
without seeing that the former feels the
loss Of his companion deeply. But scien-
tific research does not stop for death.

Hog Serum Plant Enlarged

Columbia, NO., June 9.-The COL
lege ofagriculture has announced that
it is now prepared to supply hog
cholera serum in any amounts to the
farmers of Missouri at the cost of pro-
duction. The last legislature made
an appropriation for additions to the
serum plant and these additions will
make it possible for them to meet an
ordinary demand for hog cholera
serum. The college is now sending
out approximately one thousand doses
Of serum per day. The enlarged IA
cilities for manufacture will make It
possible to increase this output to
meet any ordinary demand. The
serum is sold at the cost Of produc-
ton, which averages about thirty
cents for each animal. Orders for
hog cholera serum should be sent to
the college veterinary department.

water boils, skim carefully and cook
slowly, 20 that the fish leaves the
