In dealing with the subject 6f dairy
ing, Mr.. Morgan said that the first es-
sential thing was to secure purebred
sire. He did not mean by this that a
farmer should buy a purebred herd
right OF, the start, nor to keep any
more cows than he could possible
care for, but that purebred sire was
the being of any good dairy herd. The
initial cost OF such an animal, would
be much more than a scrub, but he
showed by figures, over q duration of
three years time that the cost of a
highgrade calf would be only slightly
more than that ola scrub calf; yet the
difference in the two compared
to worth for producing milk is many
dollars.
Along with the other ideas he brot
out, was the pit silo. He said every
farm should have one, as they are in
expensive and are a great saver In the
s handling of feed for cattle. Shelter
was another thing that is important
for good producing dairy herd. I'm
less there is the proper shelter, the
proper food and proper care, he does
not advise a farmer to enter into the
dairy business He maintained that
the business is one that man
should. grow into gradually, say in 10
or 20 years, for in thct time q man
could have a very high grade or pure
bred herd. The cooperation method of
buying pure-bred sire was another
idea he brought out. Where several

The Acme Of Unwisdom

Arthur Brisbane of the Chicago
Herald Examiner says: When
the war was on the government
fixed the price Of wheat at 81. % IA
bushel and guaranteed it, If that
had not been done. wheat world
have gone to So 90 a bnshel. "
OF course, nobody wanted to sea
wheat go to So. 90 bushel, but
had the government been as gen.
erons TO the farmers US it was exs
travagantly generous to the rail-
roads, it would have permitted
wheat to 60 to $500 a bushel or
any amount that the exigencies Of
the occasion might lead to. The
government guaranteed to the rail,
roads the highest. dividends they
have ever received. and ghva them
fabulous sums OF money without.
any reason or excuse for same. -.
Now the war is over" says,
says Brisbane. the government is
still lakipg care OF the railroads.

told to sell his wheat and corn for
what he can get for it. No guar"

are burning their curu which ia.

That sort of treatment of the
farmers-the bread makers OF the

Keep your temper. Nobody wants

Socrates used to bring many
friends unexpectedly for dinner ins
to the house.
1t is said that is about all he
brought in.
Ihe fact Is that a particularly
ilagrant abuse of this habit once
lucited his wife. Zanthippe, to a
terrific fit of scolding, which she
connected by throwing at him a
bucket of water,
Whereat, all Socrates did was
simply to remark nonchalantly:
After the thunder comes /. the
rain"
Socrates knew that poise is pows
er; that self-control is the better
part of valor.
This idea he did his best to in,
culcate in the anclent Greeks who
crystallized it into the proverb:
They whom the gods woald
destroy, they first make mad"
Racine, undoubtedly, had this
thought in mind when lie wrote:
Don't insist on destroying
yourself, and you are Safe.''
These truths are as potent today
as they were at the time they were
first enunciated; the fellow who

Most of us, perhaps rightly. do
not care overly much about the
man who never gets angry,
But the man who does get angry
and who does not lose his head
who remains master of himself
that man usually commands our
respect and admiration.

ketball teams is because her alumni do not put up
the money to hire athletic stars to attend the
college.
If this is true, Earlham is infinitely better off
in receiving number of trouncings on the grid
iron and in basketball, year in and out, than if
she had victorious teams with one or two stars
who are players" rather than students" Her
defeats in this respect are at least honorable
ones, suffered by genuine representatives of the
school.
As soon as school evades eligibility rules by
subterfuges of one sort or another by the student
body or the alumni, it is losing moral anchor
age and sacrificing honor for the sake of athletic
victory.
1t is easy to hire players. All the alumni need
do is to pay the expenses of brilliant player on
the ground that he is unable to meet the finan-
cial drains of acquiring an education. On that
plea, the pick of players may be obtained by any
group of alumni that is disposed to spend it's
money.
Three of the big eastern universities assert
that this practice is responsible for many of the
