ment.
Vassar College. Poughkeepsie,
Sept. Is, 1914,
To the Editor Daily News;-Capt.
T.. r. Sykes, in the edition of your
paper for September 8, makes the
following statement: at is a fact
that during Hon. A. A. Kincannon's
presidency, three at least of the i'm
subordinates, to-wit: Misses f. and
F., presuming on past conditions, UNI
dertook the same role, but being soon
called to account with a request for
their designations, one of the F's and
Miss p. resigned" We might wish
to assure Captain Sykes that he has
been surprisingly misinformed and to
deny the truth of his statement.
The following letters and predatory
note speak for themselves AT the
time of our leaving the college we did
not publish our correspondence with
the president, nor did we appeal to
the trustee, because we had so full%
determined to sever our connection
with the institution that nothing
could have altered our decision, and
because, moreover. we did not wish TO
embarrass friends who remained in
the college. We sought, of our own
accord. to continue our professional
work under free conditions where ed
ucational interests could not be IN
terfcred with by occurrences such as
those which caused us to resign A
brief explanation and the letters were
published, however, a year later, and
sent to the members of the senior
class of the college when they were
not permitted to carry out their plan
(then under way) Of defeating to us
their annual publication, and when
we felt that they had right to know
the circumstances that led to our re-
signations. Now, after eight years
these extracts must again see the
light in order to prove the falseness
Of statements made against us in the
press.
The presentation to the public OF
these letters now implies no spirit OF
vindictiveness In fact, the whole ep-
isodc is almost too trivial to relate
excepting as dramatic and, in some
respects amusing bit of educational
history.
Tho episode proved fortunate ono
for us and our only regret has been
in the severance Of our connection
with Mississippi students whom foH
eager receptivity and wonderful 10y
atty we have not seen surpassed in

Small Farm Economics.

The evidences of thrift on the farm
are found in the system Of saving and
the economy practiced in cutting down
waste about the farm operations as
often as in its greatest crops and ex-
pensive methods Of growing and hand
ling them, says the Goth Century Far
mer There are many big farming
propositions carried on at a loss to the
owner or operator. 1t is an easy thing
TO buy lots Of costly farm equipage
and employ lots of farm help to oper-
ate it, but it is quite different thing
to conduct such farm enterprises pro
fitably.
It is an interesting sight to ride
through a farm district and view the
various farm properties at this sea-
son Of the year, when the harvest ls
mainly finished, and small grains and
hay crops stacked and otherwise fin
ished up for the feeding season; OLE
stacks raked down, topped out and
made practically new and rainproof
strawstacks nicely built and prepared
for the winter, everything presenting
the appearance of neatness and thrift.
Or we may see the reverse, the old
last years leftover haystacks repre-
senting only heaps Of discolored,
shrunken feed lit onlyefor the manure
pile, a waste, a loss that indicates
carelessness. lack of thrift and eco
nomy in saving what has been produc-
ed and which has a feed value If look
ed after at the proper time.
The value Of feed must be in the
mind Of the manager of the farm. Hay
is worth a certain price in the market.
The hay on the farm is worth just as
much, minus the expense Of putting it
on the market Or it may be worth
even more if fed on the farm. At all
events, everything in the way of crops
on the farm has a commercial value,
and anything that contributes to waste
on the farm results in just that much
loss to the farm account. 1t pays to
save everything that the farm pro
duces and turn it to some account on
the farm or in the markets, 1t is the
saving that gives the farm character,
and this is shown in the system of do
ing things and needs no signboard
posted for the observer. The practical,
well trained eye of the farmer can
read the lesson that each farm is
teaching by its object lessons.
