Register YOslr Live Stock.

Il has been said that Missouri
has more regi=sterable yet un-
registered live stock than any
other state in the Union. Too
many farmers neglect sending
in registration papers to the
breed associations, telling that
it does not make any difference.
That this is a mistake needs no
argument.
One of the most interesting
proofs of the value Of registra-
ton, and the loss Because of the
lack of it, is found by State Vet
erinarian D. F. LuCkey of the
Board of Agriculture in the test
ing and condenaning of tubercu-
lous cattle. The registered cow
brings exactly twice as much
indemnity money to the owner
as does the unregistered COW.

DEPARTMENT TO
Be ABOLISHED
kindergarten Training School
AT College To BE A Thing
of Past.
LASTS JUST ONE MORE YEAR
Efforts Will BE Bended to Make
Stronger Liberal Arts
College.

The kindergarten department of
Alma college, which has existed so
long that it seemingly has become al
most an integral part of the Presby-
terian institution, is to be a thing of
the past after one more year, the
trustees of the college at their annual
meeting on Tuesday, having decided
to drop this department and bend
every effort towards making Alma
College far stronger liberal arts in
stitution.
The kindergarten department Of
the college has been two year
course, and has trained hundreds OF
young ladies for work in the kinder
garten departments of the various
public schools OF the state and thus
has proven of great educational
value to Michigan, but it is felt that
the department detracts more or less
from the work of the liberal arts
school.
AS result the trustees voted to
abolish it, and one year hence the
department will pass out of exist
ence.
Next year no new students will be
taken for the kindergarten depart
ment, it is understood, but the young
ladies who entered the kindergarten
department last fall will be able to
finish the course as it will be contin-
ued next year for this purpose.
