able the skins from such crosses will be in this country.
 In connection with the two experi- ments mentioned. about 100 head of ewes are kept. A roomy and conve- niently arranged barn for housing sheep and goats has just been com pleted and will render 1t possible to test methods of winter feeding of hot house" lambs and breeding ewes. Dur ing summer months the sheep are car ried upon a succession of forage crops with view to determining the best plans of planting and grazing forage crops in eastern states.
 For the past few years there has been great interest in the milch goat, which has often been hailed as the poor mans COW. Today, however, goats in this country which are good milkers sell for as much as the aver age dairy COW. On the continent of Europe, particularly Switzerland breeds of goats which are heavy milk CTS have been developed, but on ac- count of the prevalence of animal di seases In continental Europe their i'm portation is prohibited. In order to de- termine the value of the milch goat blood in crossing on our native stock, flock of common does was obtained. and these were bred to Saanen and Toggenburg bucks Milk records were kept of the native does, and such rec ords will be kept of the half-bred does, in order to obtain a comparison.
 A herd of hogs Is maintained for the purpose of studying breeding and feeding problems. A modern, sanitary house has been built, and equipped for conducting this work. There are also number of small portable houses with sufficient space for SOW and lit- ter or two or three mature pigs.
 At the farm house there Is also a laboratory for the study of breeding questions. There are usually about 1000 guinea pigs on hand, represent ing 30 families. The effects of in- breeding are being studied as the re- suits from such Investigations with guinea pigs throw light upon princi- ples that operate in larger animals.
 Results that suggest the existence of laws of inheritance in these small animals can be tested out on larger animals. By using guinea pigs a great saving In time Is effected. It Is possi- ble 10 secure three generations in a year thus showing the effects of any special method of breeding in a frac- tion of the time needed with sheep or cattle and at much smaller expense. The poultry on the farm Is located

COLLEGES ARE MENDICANTS
Bitter Attack by Bishop CandIer on Rockefeller and Carnegie Boards.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Atlanta.-Bltterly attacking John D. Rockefeller's and Andrew Carnegie's educational boards, Bishop W. A. Candler of the Southern Methodist church said that it is time for :hc peo- pie to be aroused to the danger or these institutions
 The republic is threatened by a powerful combination to create and control chain of colleges in no wise responsible to the people through the control of either the authority of a state or church. The apologists and defendants of the scheme are delight ed 10 call these board-fed institutions Independent and free No terms less appropriate could be applied to these schools. They are not 'indepenqent They are as dependent as mendicants upon the doles of these boards. They vii throw off the authority Of church to get money from such a man as Nr Carnegie on the most humihatjnr con dltions. Their subjection is as abiect and servile as that Of a bond slave.

4Prspared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture
 In the summer of 1910 the depart ment of agriculture purchased a farm of AIS acres at Beltsville, Maryland, which is about twelve miles from the city of Washington, to be used for experimental work In animal breeding and feeding, and related subjects. About 190 acres of this are devoted to dairy interests. and the remainder (of which about 95 acres are timber land) to other branches of animal hus- bandry
 On this farm many problems of economic importance to the public, and particularly to the agricultural public, are given much attention. The farm work is done largely by mares. some of which are purebred Percher- ons, and the other grades. These mares are bred to a Percheron stall lion, and therefore not only earn their living by the farm work they do, but in addition produce foals. In the sum- mer of 1913 the imported Percheron stallion Isolant 65096 (7SS59) WE ~ur- chased by the department, lie .s a
