SAVING FEED IN HORSE BARN
Right Kind Of Animal Is Point often
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Horses Do
Not Pay for Keep.

A point I'm horse feeding which is
often overlooked is the kind of horse
to feed. Most Of us feed plenty Of
the best kind Of feed but some horses
pay well for food and care given aud
some do not. 1t Is our business to
know that we are feeding horse
which gives adequate return for his
feed. Some horses do as much work
on less than half the feed Of others.
Why not save feed in the horse barn
as well as in the COW barn?

in the Declaration the whole word
Congress" in both documents-those
and other details established beyond
n doubt that the writer of the great
Declaration was Timothy Matlack.
Although Timothy Matlack lived
long time, he did not live long enough
to see the harm that befel the docu-
ment he had written so handsomely.
He and his contemporaries were proud
Of it, and their descendants have held
IL in reverence above all other doCtI-N
ments; and>to satisfy the patriotic GU
riosity of the people who have wished
to see 1t those who were itsscustodians
in past years subjected 1t to treatment
that did 1t irreparable injury.
In 1924, when John Quincy Adams
was secretary of state, skilled en-
graver, William J. Stone, made a cop
per plate fac-simile of the Declaration.
That Is the only one that has ever been
made. 1t was distributed by order Of
u perfect reproduction in every partic-
uar Of the original document as 1t was
when the fac-simile was made, and Is
fine specimen Of the engraver's art. I'm

Biography had not been discovered, md
Stone took an impression of the docu-
ment itself, and In doing so carried off
some of the Ink.
Signatures Almost Invisible.
That was a great injury but equal
harm came to the document by keeping
1t on exhibition In strong light. 1t
was in the state department until 1841,
when 1t was placed IN the patent Office,
where Ii remained until the Centennial
exhibition of 1876, when 1t was taken
to Philadelphia. There II remained for
nearly year; then It was returned to
Washington and went back to the Sec
rotary Of states office.
Already the ink had begun to fade,
out the document was again put on ex-
hibitlon. The ink faded rapidly and by
1894 many Of the signatures had be-
come almost invisible. Then there was
formal conference of scientific men,
who considered what was the best
course to take to. protect 1t.
Wise counselors advised that II
should not be experimental with. and
II was left untouched. 1t was taken
from its place of exhibition, however,
and put into a dark safe, secure from
further damage from the light. Dur
Ing the last % years very few persons
have been permitted to look upon its
face and the handsome handiwork Of
Timothy Matlack remains hidden from
the world. 4

Poor weather Yesterday resulted in
an unusually small enrolment for Aa-
gustaua college. Today was expected
10 see undoubtedly a much larger en-
r0lIraeut. the great majority Of the
out Of town students arriving some
time tonight and d large proportion Of
the resident pupils also waiting until
today on account Of the Indictment
weather and the holiday yesterday.
Although it is recognized that the
var situation viii doubtless diminish
the enrolment to some extent. It is not
believed that the total number OF stu
dents will be much smaller than usual
The upper classes will be considerably
diminished It is true, as Augustana
has given nearly seXenty-five Of her
student body 10 the ranks. but q ban
ner freshman class is expected and the
other departments Of the college are
also showing up well, Both girls and
boys dormitoTies are full and several
students have been turned away from
the former place.
Excellent Courses This Tear.
In quality at least. Augustana has
never been as good as it promises to
be this year Two new courses have
been added to the list, the history
group" aud the education group and
it is felt that these. with those preFf-
ousIy offered. give the student an eX-
ceptionaily wide choice in his pursuit
Of a liberal education.
The new professors who have been
added to the faculty this year all come
highly recommended also and II Is
thought that the Augustana faculty
presents as able q group OF men and
women as may BIS found in any school
of its size in the middle west, The
school is preparing fer rapid growth
IN all lines and even with the present
Situation is adding To its efficiency for
