Prof. Smith, we need not comment
upon for all those who have studied
under these two live wires know that
there isn't dull minute in the hour
and that The studies are a pleasure
rather than a task.
In conclusion it will be OF interest
to those who cannot give their whole
time TO this Bible Course to know
that any part or as many parts as
they can carry, may be elected by
our students in connection with the
regular school work and we feel sure
that a very large number will avail
themselves of this latest and best
opportunity which Berea is offering
to the ambitious young people Of
our glorious south. We understand
that ministers and Sunday school
workers are especially invited to
come, even though they can stay but
few weeks, and we feel safe in as
surfing them Of rich blessings in
spirit, mind and body walking the
halls Of this great Christian college.

SOMETHING NEW
Rev. Chas. 8. knight

Former Normal students will be
glad to know that the very inter-
esting classes in Rhetoricals, Elocu-
ton and Bible, conducted by Prof.
Charles S. Knight last year will be
continued-and all those interested
in religious education will rejoice
that the much talked OF new Bible
Department is to be a fact from
Sept. 10th. The object OF this nom
sectarian course in Practical Theol-
ogy is TO give those wishing TO do
effective Christian work just the
training that will be most useful and
to give them this training in the
shortest possible time commensurate
with good work. with this in mind
a course running through one year
and consisting of the following stud
les is offered:
Sunday School methods, Prof.
Knight, one hour each week. Dur

the Sunday School as a community
center.
Organization and management will
be the theme in the winter, and the
use of Bible stories, blackboard, ETC.,
in the spring. Those who took this
work last year were enthusiastic and
a larger class than ever is expected
from the first.
Bible Outlines--a general review
OF old and new Testaments, Prof
Knight.
This is the course that was given
with so much success in the nor
NAL last year, and will continue as

dam and OF course by proper mating.
1t Is not supposed that the colts are
raised for market. but for home use,
and when thus used they will be even
more profitable, not altogether in dol
lars, but largely in the pleasure Of hav-
ing just what is wanted ON the farm.
Those who don't raise but buy their
farm horses must pay large profits and
take chances.
1t takes a big mare to raise big
horses. and certainly she Is worth her
price for work and breeding IL she or a
gelding like her Is worth a similar fig

Watson in the National Stockman. II
does not follow that one should devote

BLUE LICK AT THE FRONT

The roads Of a neighborhood indi-
fcate their spirit OF progress or their
sorriness. Most Of our roads are
worked enough TO make them good
the year round II the right kind OF
work were done.
The Blue Lick folks have made a
discovery. They had the use OF a
county road scraper for few days
and the road is now in good condi-
ton as far as Mr.. Kimbrelrs.
But will IL be that way next March
after the winter rains? Yes, there
Ia a way TO keep roads good the year
round, and that way is TO use the
Split Log Drag
and Mr.. John Johnson, Mr.. M. Cab
bard and Mr.. Mac Maupin have
agreed 10 make and use the drags on
this mile Of road.
The drag must be run two or three
rounds over the road after every
rain 10 oil up and smooth over every
rut and little chuck hole that begins
10 form and TO keep he road ridged
up In the middle all the time. When
this is faithfully done the water
runs of 10 the sides all the time and
the road dries very soon.
Another thing Ia that the dragging
Of the wet dirt packs IL together and
IL bakes in the sun and in time wat
er will hardly soak into IL at all.
A Crying Need
Next TO the soil improvement and
better livestock. good roads are the
most crying need Of Kentucky.
Watch our Blue Lick friends make
and keep a good road where there
has always been bad one. Go home
and start II in your own neighbor-
hood. Don't wait for Mr.. Baker or
someone else 10 begin. but start at
once so as TO get the road we'll
packed before fall rains set in.

SOUR Skim MILK FOR CALVES

That in summer time calves do as
well on sour skim milk as they do
on sweet will be interesting news TO
many farmers who have hitherto
been kept from raising calves by the
expense OF keeping the milk sweet
in hot weather. The expense exper-
iments carried out by the depart
ment indicate TO be quite unneces-
sary. The calves will make as rap
I'd gains on sour skim milk. In win
ter. IL is true, this is not quite so
satisfactory. II chills the calves and
some Of them drink IL with great
reluctance. Very young calves have
even been known 10 refuse IL alto
gether. On the other hand, OF
course, IL is much easier to keep the
milk sweet in winter.
In calling the attention OF farmers
TO these facts, however, the depart
ment at the same time emphasizes
an important precaution. Unless the
milk is produced and kept under
clearly conditions. IL may become
contaminated with disease-produc-
ing bacteria. Farmers should there
fore allow the milk 10 sour quickly
and then feed IL without delay.
In the course OF these experiments
sour skim milk was fed 10 % calves.
Holsteins, Jerseys and Guernseys at
different seasons OF the year. In no
case did il cause digestive distur-
Dances even when the change from
sweet TO sour milk was made abrupt
ly when the calves were only a few
days old. Moreover, no evil results
followed the alternate use OF sweet
and sour. II seems. therefore, that
the common idea that sour milk
leads TO scours is quite unfounded.
The calves IL was found, did not
like the sour milk as well as the
sweet. but in the majority OF cases
soon became accustomed TO il. The
aversion, however. increased when
the milk was fed them nj a low tenn
perature.

sented the Wall street view of the pre-

passing through a period of readjust-
ment caused by the tariff and cur
rency laws. 1t was stated at the White
House that Mr.. Morgan's call had
nothing to do with the New Haven
situation.
President Wilson is now making a
strong effort to get in touch with the
business interests of the country and
assure them that much Of their appre.
hension is unfounded. He feels that
he can accomplish by personal contact
what his speeches may fail to do.

dents room smiling and obviously
pleased with his conference. Not a

ment to meet representatives of the

ing trust legislation. Representatives
of such well-known firms as Marshall
