Dear Doctor Sims:
Owing to my absence from the city,
having been in St Paul to help the
boys with some legislative work, / did
not get chance to answer your kind
favor of the 9th before today.
| am enclosing you herewith .sched-
ules taken from our catalog, showing
the extent of our teaching. You can
readily see that we have three years
course. This schedule speaks for itself.
/ might also inform you that we
have lately added to our chemical and
meteorological equipment enough to
make 1t the most complete of its kind
in the country. Our specimens com
prise a collection which has been pro-
nounced unusual.
| believe you know that our work in
anatomy and dissection has been ND to
that of any first class medical college
We have lately divided the chair Of
physiology and physiological therapeu-
ties SO that we have one professor
who devotes all his time In school to
physiology and one to physiological
therapy, outside of chiropractic. Any
other information that l may be able
to give you will be gladly rendered.
Yours very truly,

no PLANT ASPARAGUS ROOTS
Good Results Obtained by Placing in
Rows Four Feet Apart-Some
Growers Use Seed.

Good results can be obtained IN
starting commercial asparagus bed
by planting roots in rows four feet
apart. They can be placed two feet
apart in rows and about eight inches
deep. Place about an inch of rich
soil in the bottom of the trench and
spread out the roots carefully before
covering them with earth. This depth
of eight inches prevents injury to the
roots and, as they develop, more earth
can be worked into the trench during
the process Of wedding and cultivation.
The second year the bed must be thor
oughly cultivated to keep down weeds
and conserve moisture, and the third
year cutting may be continued for
about three weeks, which gives the
grower about half crop for market.
Although some growers seem to prefer
starting their asparagus beds from
seed, the beginner can doubtless have
better success by trying few strong
healthy roots.

CARL vRooMAN MADE RECORD
Ninety Bushels Per Acre Is Obtained
on One Of His Farms Near
chenoa, III.

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Ninety bushels of oats to the acre is
the record made this year by Carl
Vrooman, assistant secretary of agri-
culture, on one of his farms at Che
noa, III. The average for all the oats
harvested on the Vrooman farms this
year was 70 bushels per acre. The av-
erage production of oats per acre for
Illinois for the past ten years is 33.1
bushels. The fact that Mr.. Vrooman
was able more than to double this av-
erage on his entire acreage and almost
to treble it on one field, it is pointed
out, is proof of the efficacy of the
methods recommended by the United
States department of agriculture. All
Of the oats were grown in accordance
with methods approved by the depars-
ment.

THE PRESENT IS
CRITICAL Time
President Tells Why a Teuton
Peace Cannot Be Agreed to
ADDRESS TO A. r. OF l.
Talk Warmly Applauded-Deman
Cessation OF Strife And Honest
Support OF Ali Classes
Tribute To Gompers. !

Buffalo, N. president Wilson
made a personal and eloquent appeal
in this city for the full support Of or
ganized labor for the Government in
the conduct of the war; Speaking
before the thirty-seventh annual con-
vention of the American Federation Of
Labor he declared the war could not
be won unless all factions united In
a common cause, sinking their differ
ences.
The President paid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
virtually called upon Federation to
give him united support. He de-
nounced pacifists and critics. He ap-
pealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the President
declared fatty that Germany had.
started the war and that he was will
ing to await the verdict of history on
that statement.
New instrumentalities for better co
operation between labor and capital
was one statement by the President,
which was of prime interest to the
delegates to the convention.
The President alluded to the pres.
ent war "as the last decisive issue
between the old principles of power
and the new principles of freedom"

there as it can find in any other
hearts. But the spirit of freedom does
not suit the plans of the Pan-Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen-
trated force against free people if it is
used by free people.
'You know" he continued, "how
many limitations come to us from one
of the Central Powers that it is more
anxious for peace than the chief
Central Power, and you know that it
means that the people of that Cen
trail Power know that if the war ends
as it, stands they will in effect them
selves be vassals of Germany, not
are compounded of all the people of
that part of the world, and notwith-
standing the fact that they do not
wish in their pride and proper spirit
of nationality to be absorbed and
dominated"
Referring in another part OF his
speech to Russia, the President said
MAY not say it is amazing to me
that any group of people should be
so Uniformed as to suppose, as
some groups in Russia apparently sup
pose, that any reforms planned in the
interest of the people can live in the
presence of Germany powerful
enough to undermine or overthrow
them by intrigue or force. Any body
of free men that compounds with the
German Government compounds for
it's own destruction"

KEEP BROOD SOWs
Animals Are Foundation Of the

Threatens to Become Worse IL

Don't sell the brood sows. They
are the foundation of the nations pork

may be tempted to turn into cash all
he can sell. But the value of brood

priced offspring is proportionally in

Their and future profits,
Since the beginning of the war the
aumber of swine in all countries has
decreased, and the decrease has been
marked in some of the belligerent
countries. In France, for example, in
the three years just before January
1, 1917, the number of swine decreased
BS.12 per cent; during 1915 the num-
Der in Germany decreased 31.47 per
cent.
Situation Critical.
Breeding stocks are being depleted.
The situation is already critical and
threatens to become very serious if the
country continues to be drained of it's
meats. Hogs furnish meat more quick
ly and cheaply than other stock can
the meat shortage. therefore, can most
readily be met by swine production.
It has been calculated that the possible
Increase from one SOW is LOOP pigs in
four years, on the supposition that all
filters consist of six pigs, that all live,
that half are females, and that each
gilt should farrow at one year and
every six months thereafter.
Cut Feeding Expense.
Another cause of the depletion Of
breeding stocks is probably in the high
cost of feeds. While concentrated
feeds have gone up, some Of the ex-
pense Of carrying breeding stocks may
be cut down by the use of green fall
forage crops, pasture, alfalfa or clover
hay. Brood sows may be maintained
In fair condition at comparatively lit
tie expense by the use of such feeds.
By sowing in the corn, or as a cover
crop on land which is likely to wash,
sowing rape, or planting root crop,
the cost of wintering sows may be re-
duced. In brief, the department of
agriculture strongly recommends a
campaign to save the sows as one
means Of helping to meet the threat
ened meat shortage.

AMERICANS STAND
SHELL FIRE WELL
Lieutenant Who Braved German
Barrage Tell of Experience
FINE FIGHTING SPIRIT SHOWN
Mumps Played More Hob With Bat
TALON Than The German Shells
According To The Com
mander.

With the American Army in France.
American troops are bearing up
splendid under their first experience
of being shelled by the enemy. This
is the unanimous opinion of the Off
GERS of the second battalions entering
the trenches.
THAT is one great thing this first
trip to the front is teaching the men,
said one battalion commander. "Of
course, we have not had lot of it

plosive and shrapnel-but the men
get so they don't mind it much more
than they would the pelting rain

of fact, the humps played more hob
with my battalion than the German
shells.
Twelve men had to go to the hos
pital on account Of the mumps, but
there was not a casualty from Ger
man shells.
The commander of the company at
tackled by the Germans in their trench
recently made similar statements, as
well as the young lieutenant who sus-
tanned a minor case of shell shock
during the raid after making three
brave attempts to penetrate the Ger
man barrage to bring up reinforce
ments.
This lieutenant, who is now fully
recovered, said that despite the vio-
lent cannonading of the German
artillery on the night of the raid not
one of his men was hit.

that the attack had put a fine fight
ing spirit into the men. In his words,
it was "the best thing in the world
for them"

company that had suffered the loss

men said they wanted one more

Uniformly Healthy.

To secure vigorous, healthy potato
plants, seed should be obtained from
a strain that is uniformly healthy and
robust. Clean storage should then be
provided. Before planting the seed
should be treated with corrosive sub
Innate, four ounces to 80 gallons of
water. Only clean land, land that has
had three-year, or better, a four or
five-year rotation, should be planted
to potatoes.

planting is drowned out, or if the next
arop should bO hurt by early frost.
