has a splendid equipment for the
purpose of giving practical instruct
ion along tie lines mentioned, and
the opportunity offered the farmer
to improve himself in his farming
methods has never before been
eQualed. This is due in part to the,
many changes in farm conditions
and to the frequent improvements,
that are discovered from time to-
20 time. The new dairy and cream
ery at the college are nov shipping
butter on a commercial scale and
viii dive new ideas along these linas
The improved and pure-bred live
stock in the college barns and the
metho4s Of handling same should
also be Of interest. The expert
ments on the college and station
farms and the methods of cropping
could be studied with profit to an!
farmer.
For these reasons lot of practi
cal, good, as we'll as a theoretical
knowledge can be gained. The in
vitation is extended to every pro-

Che Vule Log

The observance Of lighting the Yule
log from the remnants Of the previous
Christmas log can probably be traced
to the ancient belief In the efficacy Of
fire, which was supposed never to be
extinguished. It is link In the chain

Up in Virginia Oh a rich farm
there lived az old turkey aoJ5l7.
He was boss over all the rest of the
turkeys.
One day he thought it about time
for Thanksgiving to come again.
Sure enough it was He was very
large and awkward SO he could not
run very fast. The man and his
son came to catch him, which they
did without any trouble. And put
him in a stall in the barn. This
was only three days before Thanks
giving. After they had returned to
the house, he began to think very
seriously of his condition. And
thinking how he could escape death
AT last he came to the conclusion
that thiswas the best plan: He de
cided to just sull up and just eat onl!
enough to keep alive.
At this time they had anothe
turkey in the barn feeding him, bu
he had given up all hope of escape

PENSIONERS To GET
ONLY 62 Per CENT

Confederate pensioners will re.
ceiye 6e per cent of the amounts
granted them, according to the
State Pension Board. Last year
they received 20 per cent. The
decrease was caused by large IN.
crease in the number Of pensions
granted through the changing Of
requirements by the last Legislature.
The Legislature also increased the
pension tax levy, but the increase
will not be shown IN the peasion
fund until the 1915 taxes are ool-
lected. The fund this year amounted
to s0sl, ,55l3O. There were TO-
500 applications this year and 800
last year. Warrants to pensioners
