Four-Year Course In Agriculture

The New Jersey State Agricultural
College at New Brunswick has made
marked progress in developing not only
its short course in agriculture. but also
its four year course. At the present
time there ale somewhat over one hun
dred students pursuing the four year
course in agriculture.
The larger enrolment of students has
led to a reorganization and improve
ment OF the courses themselves, to an
increase in the number of instructors
and to additions in material equipment.
Emphasis has been laid upon The course
i'll fruit growing and vegetable garden
ing. IL is proposed also to develop very
strong courses i'll general farming. in
poultry husbandry, and in certain of
the sciences to which agriculture is
intimately related. A number of new
appointments have been made to the
faculty of agricultural school and ad-
ditional appointment are to be made in
dairy husbandry and vegetable garden
ing. These men assisted by members
OF the Experiment Station staff. who
are also members of the faculty. will
devote their entie time to teaching
work.
The new agricultural building con-
tanning classrOOms and laboratories and
a large auditorium will be available for
use this fall. The collection of dairy
animals and swine has been augmented
by purchase aud natural increase. while
the poultry department will be re.or-
gained on a much larger scale. Scien-
tiic apparatus, agriculture machinery
and miscellaneous supplies have been
purchased and a large quantity of new
material has been made available for
use in tbs fOur.year course in agricui-
ture.
Recent graduates from these courses
have found attractive positions at rela-
lively large salaries and a much larger
number OF young men could have been
provided with attractive positions had
they been available.

MISSED The DINNER
BY STELLA SCHMIDT.

Though the moon might vary its
time of rising and the stars might
grow tardier and tardier each night
in making their stealthy journey
across the sky, old Mrs. Searson never
varied in any respect the details OF
her daily life.
In the daytime she read her newspa-
per. She read 1t slowly-read the
political news, the society news. the
murders and the advertisements. She
began at the beginning and she read
on and on steadily to the end. She
neglected no part The political news
had not the slightest significance OF
her, the personal gossip and the so
ciety notes were absolutely unimport-
ant from her point of view. the ad-
vertisements whetted no desires, for
she had no desires to whet- She mere

could never know again Neither
could she ever know again desire or
ambition.
On summer evenings after her meal
was over she sat out on her porch
and watched the passers by. She
watched them without taking any in
terest in them. She could see little
of her neighbors and she heard less
Every now and then the woman
who lived across the street tried to
talk to her. The woman who lived
across the street was lonesome. Her
dead we're still dead to her, and she
longed to see them and kiss their lips
She often looked over at old Mrs
Searson and felt old Mrs. Searson's
loneliness, too The woman who lived
across the street did not realize what
a potent anesthetic time had proved
itself to be in old Mrs. Searson's case
The pain of loneliness was real to
her.
So the woman who lived across the
street hit upon the idea of giving
little dinner and inviting old Mrs
Searson. In doing this she meant
well.
Old Mrs. Searson had watched the
postman pass by her house day after
day as she had watched every one and
everything else pass by. When one
morning the postman entered her
gate and knocked on her door. it was
very strange. He handed her let.

American lodged a complaint and the
tirailleur was arrested. He was for

however, when he discovered that
the robber was a soldier. wished to
withdraw his charge for the honor OF

alternative that the magistrate should

PRINCESS Shot BY A MOTH
Accused Husband Saved by Remarks
BILE Evidence Introduced In
italian Court.

There seems to be no good reason
for doubling the story that set free q
Neapolitan prince accused of murder
1t was the locally notorious case Of
the Princess Caravella, at Naples, In
Italy. After giving a dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch few
minutes of rest in order to refresh her
self for a dance.
She was discovered lying dead on
her bed, with a pistol wound in hei
heart. Her husband, Prince Caravella.
had been noted for his Jealous dispo
sition; and, as 1t was certain that no
stranger could possibly have been In
the princess room. suspicion pointed
to him and he was arrested. The pis
tol was found lying near the murdered
woman, which in itself was favorable
to the prince, for no murderer. unless
he courted detection, would thus leave
the weapon to be discovered In spite
Of this, 1t was probable that things
would have gone hard with the &C

fully examined the bedchamber and.
lying on the floor by the bedside, he
found one of those large moths that
abound in Italy. A lighted candle had
stood on a table by the bed, and the
moths wings bore evident marks OF
having been badly singed against the
fame.
What was more important still, some
of the powdery dust from the moth 8
wings was found on the trigger of the
pistol. and the pistol had lain in such
a position that it covered the princess
heart 1t was clear, argued this astute
detective. that the moth had burned its
wings and had fallen on the table
where, writhing in agonies. its wings
had struck the trigger of the pistol,
and the pistol had been thus fired. 1t
was noted that the trigger worked with
exceptional ease.
1t should be remarked that these
Italian moths are larger than any with
which we are familiar in Canada. On
this evidence the prince was acquit.

PAYING FOR THE oPPoRTUN-
ITY TO sow WEED SEED

Many farmers are paying as much
as a dollar per pound for the oppor-
tunity to plant on the farm, several
pounds of weed seed each year.
Others do not pay as much for the
opportunity to SOW the seed, but the
cost of eradicating these weeds costs
them many hours of labor and no
small amount of money. The manner
in which they avail themselves of the
opportunity varies, but to give true
example-an actual occurrences:
