MANY GUESTS
AT kIWANIS

Those who attended the Farmers
institute on Thursday were guests
at the regular luncheon of the XII
wants club at the Warren. The
speaker was A. r. Whitson,. Madi-
son, chairman of the soil survey
of the state.
He said that cooperation with
nature brought the best results. Tc
study the natural resources with
this idea in view was the right way
to succeed.
Dean Russell OF Madison recently
returned from New Zealand and re
ports that while it is not necessary
to house the stock on the islands
yet they cannot grow corn in that
country, a great handicap. AS it
is they are able to produce dairy
products cheaply in that island
land. They are not able to grow
corn in northern Europe which is
a drawback to dairy farming.
AS to prices, this is regulated by
supply and demand. The thins
to do is, to produce but to produce
as economically as possible.
Do not increase the acreage.
Grow crops which produce the
most to the acre corn and alfal-
ia
If the soil needs lime use it.
Phosphates will increase the worth
of pasture three or more fold.
Reduce the cost by increasing
the efficiency of the pasture. Wis
consin has more rainfall, more
even distribution of moisture, than
most sections.
The speaker also advocates the
growing of more wood He would
increase the boys attitude toward
the farm. When boy goes to the
agriculture college he often drifts
to other lines of work He sug.
gested the fathers get the boys
point of view-co-operate in the
work on the farm. Let him have
an interest.
The speaker, Earl Thomas, Mrs
Charles Randall, c.. L. Kuehner, H.
B. Burr, F. G. Wilson and others
spoke of the splendid spirit shown
by the Kiwanis in entertaining so
many guests. Mr.. Wilson, at one
time had charge of Devils Lake
State Park.
Responses were made by H. J..
Sleeps, and President III. L. Hal.
sted. The others on the commit
tee were Superintendent A. G..

j. B. Hayes, Madison. college Of

ideas in regard to poultry houses.
The new type of house should be
at least 20 feet deep (wide) and as
long as necessary for the accomo-
dation Of the fowls. There should
BE- false ceiling, the bottom OF

Vaporized Quartz.

A BEAUTIFUL opalescence may
sometimes be observed in the
glass globes used to diffuse the light
of the electric arc, particularly after
such globes have been in use for a
long time. Close examination shows
that the opalescent effect is due to
the presence on the glass of minute
spheres of silica, which have evidently
been formed by volatilization from
the glass under the influence of the
electric arc. This effect is in ac-
cordance with the experiments of
various chemists, whose electric
furnaces have produced some sur
prising results.
The essential feature OF the furnace
used in this relation Is an electric
arc of great intensity. When rock
crystal, broken into fragments, is
placed in the furnace ii simply melts,
like so much ice, and in a few min
utes the liquid thus formed begins
to boil.
The vapor rising from the liqui-
fed crystal is condensed into a little
bluish-white cloud, from which tiny
spheres OF silica, glimmering with
opalescent hues, are deposited. These
spheres, as already remarked, are
similar to those found on arc-light
globes. The latter, of course >ye the
product of d very slow and gradual
process, while in the electric furnace
the volatilization is effected with
astonishing rapidity.

some excuse for a sleeve, though 1t
amounts to no more than something
very rudimentary. And this sort of
frock you will find chosen over and
over again by the college girl for less
formal evening parties.
For one of the big dances of her
college career she is quite apt this
Winter to select a frock of bouffant
type. These light-colored frocks of
net or chiffon, made with full, fluffy
skirts, seem to make very strong ap-
peal to the younger women at pres
ent, both in and out of college.
x X x
a I some of the colleges the fat
heeled sport oxford still prevails,
and on the campus, at any rate, one
almost never sees any other type Of
footgear. A wise undergraduate at
one of the Eastern colleges displays
a little foot neatly shod in an opera
pump with fairly high heel. 1t is the
first pair of high-heeled shoes she
has worn, save for dances, for dear
knows how long, and she tells you
quite seriously that the fat -heeled
shoe is becoming passe and that all
the girls she knows are beginning
to wear pumps for every day" With
them go beige, light brown or gray
silk stockings with no thought of
WOOL STOCKINGS save Tor extremely y
cold weather. On the other hand, at
some of the colleges wooden, or silk
and-woolen stockings have been worn
since the middle of autumn, and
quite frequently these show plaids
and stripes that would attract amazed
attention on city streets, but pass
as quito conventional on the campus.
Apparently the college girl seldom
INDUCES in frilly negliges, but
chooses instead a mannish sort of
dressing gown or bath robe of striped
flannel or terry cloth. She has need
for not much jewelry, but doesn't feel
quite dressed up" without some sort
of choker or short necklace. In some
quarters choice is now given to the
necklace consisting of three strands
of quite small pearls.
OF all campus fads probably the
most surprising is the revival of the
