Tbe afternoon session found the
Institute in-possession of a \ ictrola,
loaned by Mrs Mussel), and a piano
furnished by t-red Daly. These adder! much to the Institute find the
kindness of the donors was much
appreciated The     session   opened
witb a solo, "(rood Night, Little
Girl," by Mildred Davv, Miss Bessie
Alger accompanying on   the   piano.
The question box was taken up
and a goodly number of questions
propounded. "Is a silo profitable
on an '•O acre farm," seemed to hav»
but one answer from those who had
bad any experience with one. l'r,
Dnnpny stated that he built one of
the first silos in Branch Co. and now
after many years' be tele he euuld
not ran lus farm without it. A large
proportion ut the feeding value of
the stalk is L-elow the ear and this is
largely lost as stalks are usually
bandled. The silo enables t h° dairyman to produce the mo-t miik at th,*
least expense. Several others bore
testimony along the same   line.
In answer to the question of comparative profits, Mr. Farrand said he
believed one could make a« much
with fruit on a given area of land as
with any other crop, provided he
liked the business and was adapted
to it. Fruit raising is especially
adapted to the man with but a few
acres
As to the most profitable way of
raising colts. Dr. Dunphy stated as
his opinion that farmers should breed
some of the draft classes. Feed the
mother liberaliy and beep the colt
growing rapidly fom the outset.
Oats jand bran constitute the best
feed for a colt and ho should be fed |
liberally.
In answer to a question   as   to   tie
advisability of sowing corn for   green
manuring, Mr.   Farra;,.!   recommend-!
ed   sai.ti   vetch   iis   superior   to   ar.v-i

'•is riot; r:iis;ng profitable-.'" A.l
P. McDonald said there is no ques- :
tion about there being monev in hogs
if onl> one can get it out. He had.
made well on hogs some years and j
nothing other years. Feed the brood j
sow liberally before pigs are far- j
rowed.
Dr. Dunphy then took up   the   subject   of    Tuberculosis.      The    matter
may   be   discussed   from   two   standpoints, the economic and the humanitarian.    It is a germ disease,   attacking both   men   and   animals.      While
the germs are not identical, still they
are so similar that   tbe   disease   may
be   communicated   from   the  one   to
tbe other,    it is   not   hereditary   and
the    progeny   of     valuable     animals j
maybe   kept.    Grade   animals    much j
more   likely    to    be   free    from    the '
disease   as   they    are   less   carefully!
cared for and are more   in   the   open |
air.    The    tuberculin   test    the   only I
sure means of   determining   whether
an animal is infected.    The   meat   of
an infected   animal,   if well   cooked,
wonld not produce the disease; while
the milk from such an   animal   would
be dangerous.    Cattle   may   he  quite
seriously diseased, yet give   no   indication of  tbis  in   appearance.     Tbe
prise   steer   at  one   of   the   Chicago
stock shows was fonnd on  slaughtering to be quite seriously affected.
Dr. Reeder said that many physicians are now using tbe tuberculin
test witb all patients suspected of
tbe disease. Deal witb patients
frankly and tbey will not. be scared
to death. Tbe qnestion of tbe transmission of tbe disease from animals
to men is still  unsettled.

Social and Sleigh ride.
The big pleasant home of Mr. and ]
Mrs. Joseph Hudson five miles ncrtb
of town was thrown open to the
Guild of the Congregational church
last Wednesday evening when they
held a box social to which the public
was invited. Several sleighs carried
a limited crowd from this city, and a
few came from the nearby country.
A choice variety of exciting games
were staged, jn which old and young
took interesting part, and the scramble for boxes indicated that no one
sullered from loss of appetite. Fred i
Thompson favored the crowd with .

individual homes, around our American firesides. And again we ask,
who is largely responsible for right
principles, right sentiment right
thinking and action. We answer,
parents, pastors, education and legislators.
Think of tbe selfishness and indif
terence of a man who will vote to
license a saloon which he knows will
destroy his neighbar's children,
though he thinks he can save his
own. Aa has been said, "We build
churches to save men and license saloons to destroy them." If we could
make our boys ar.d young men scathe folly of permitting, for a sum of
money, the saloonkeeper to make
men drunk and then punishing the
men for drinking. The folly of li
**en*ing a saloon to make drunkards,
paupers and criminals, and then, tax
honest men   to   take   care   of    tbem.
We tax ourselves for pubic schools
to teach virtue and license _ the saloon to destroy it. There are men in
this county who say, "we need the
license money to make taxes lighter" and in almost every county for
every dollar we get, ten dollars or
more is spent in taking care of the
class of men that saloons make.
I sometimes think we have  carried
to excess the strain   of   sympathy   in
the line o? impressing our boys   with
the   results   of    intemperance.      We
have     appealed   to   them,   too   often
along the line of   suffering   and   sadness, that  the   liquor   traffic   causes.
I wonder if it doesn't appear to them
as   too   feminine   a   subject.    Cannot
we present temperance in our homes,
cannot       we        teach       t'*mperance I
in our homes, cannot    we   appeal   to

The classes in General Agriculture,
Short Course, 1914, commenced January 7th with about 120 boys ready
for business. The ages of the"boys"
ranged from 16 to 40 but all are boys
in spirit and enthusiasm. Almost
every county in the state had at least
one representative present.
The studies in the General Agriculture course are Stockjudging, consisting of two hours each day, six
days in the week, one hour lecture
work, the other hour practical work
with live animals in tbe ring. We
have studied the origin, history and
general characteristics of the Jersey,
Guernsey, Holstpiii-Fresian and
Brown Swis3 dairy breeds and now
are in the beef breeds. Laterwe take
up the study of the horse, sheep and
hog. Four times a week we have
soils management, lecture work on
the physical an t chemical makeup
of the various kinds of soil. Four

The Bridge Bi'ilder.
An old man   going   a   lone   highway,
Came at the evening  coid   and   gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and   wide.
Th6 old man crossed   in   the twilight
dim,
The sullen   stream   had   no   fear   for
him;
But he turned when safe on the other
side
And built a bridge to span    the  tide.
"Old man," said a fellowpilgrim near,
"Yon   are    wasting    yonr    strength
with building here;
Yonr journey will end with tbe    ending day.
Yon never again will pass   this  way;
You've crossed tne chasm   deep   and
wide,
Why build yon this bridge at evening
tide?"
Tbe builder lifted bis old gray bead—
"Good   friend,   in  the  path  I  bave
come," be said,|
"There followeth after me today,
A youth   whose   feet moat  pass  tbis
way,
Tbis chasm tbat has been aa   naught
to me,
