conviots COLLEGE Students.

Mo- e than fifty conviets are enrolled
at the State Agricultural College al
Manhattan, taking the various courses
offered at the college. They are, so
far as is known, the only convict col
lege students in the United States.
Few, if any, of the convicts have ever
seen the college building, and it will
be some time before any of them can
see it, but nevertheless they are en-
rolled students doing regular work.
All the convict college students are
inmates of the United States peniten-
tiary here. They do their class work
in their cells and mail their lesson pa
pers to the college for correction.
Some of the convicts are studying ag-
riculture, some civil engineering, 9th
ers mechanics, and some are studying
dairying. Nearly all of the students
enrolled in the agricultural or dairy
courses are men employed on the
prison farm or in the dairy-Leaven-

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchs-ee truthfully ss.s
"The West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has pus an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
age by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because Of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra.
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 10000 a year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number max
ing total of 100000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. It Is net only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory Of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There is
( cfilI ard IN
the West. The work of mans hands,
even in the cities With their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on journey
through the country. Nature is still
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
| The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universe
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no DISPOSE
ton to regard the country as a tenn
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar-

MEmORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with 1t.
The drug-cadeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.

did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou-

Fig. 1 shows one good attachment
for the bride. OF course, the kite is
noWn other side up, with the bride
underneath. A good way of attaching
the bride is to slip the loop end
through a fancy-work ring, loop it
over itself, and then tie the loose ends
to sticks A of the framework. The
vertical distance between the ring and
the kite should be about feet Three

Then measure the proper length for

SOWING SEEDS TOO THICKLY
Practice Should Be Discouraged as
O~ercrowding undernines Guilt
walton of Plants.
lRv w. r GILBERT

Thick sowing must be guarded
against. Each seed should have room
to grow without crushing or injuring
its neighbour
Over-crowding undermines the cult
walton of plants at the start and it is
long before, if ever, they outgrow it.
OF course, small plants or seeds may
be sown more thickly than the larger
ones, but relatively they ought really
not to be sown thicker.
Each plant should have sufficient
room to develop its coyledons and one
leaf before 1t is thinned or pricked
out.
Every year vegetable crops are much
injured by being sown too thickly and
perhaps it is hardly too much to affirm
that most gardeners would be the
gamers were only half the seed sown
that there is now.
AS to what to SOW the seed in, the
lighter the seed bed the. better.
Few seeds will vegetate in lower
temperature than 40 degrees and in
the range of 20 degrees all seeds will
grow.

Julius Rosenwald, Chicago phiian-

civic righteousness.
To politician who defended GER
tain underhand political methods, Mr..
Rosenwald said the other day:
That's plausible defense, but it
doesn't hold. It's like the defense of
the .piggish little boy.
"A piggish little boy always used to
take at breakfast the bottom piece of
toast, which was sure to be kept extra
warm by the hot plate beneath It and
the hot slices above.
"One morning, as he slipped out the
bottom piece as usual, his mother said
reproachfully:
"'You must stop doing that Sup
pose everybody did that-what would
happen them
Why, then said the little boy,
everybody would get bottom piece. "

Rape See dina.

In seeding rape broadcast from
three to five pounds of seed are re-
CURED to the acre. If sown in drills
from one to two pounds of seed are
sufficient. The quality and condition
of the soil will give the exact amount,
lighter seed being used on rich and
seed bed should be fine, firm and
moist.
A light top dressing of manure may
be applied and the crop responds very
readily to such treatment. AS a soil
ing crop, it is desired to secure all
the growth possible. so the more
perfect we can make the conditions
the greater will be the results.
