The Farm Home  Reading Circle  of the
Michigan Agricultural College.
The Michigan Agricultural College
has taken another step forward by inaugurating' a college extension course
of reading. This plan aims to furnisil a
systematic course of reading on subjects
relating directly to agriculture aud
kindred subjects. While the course as
planned recommends a progressive line
of work, discussing first the underlying
principlesof agriculture, and later taking up special departments, yet it is
largely elective and so flexible that a
person interested in any branch of
farming may select books pertaining
only to his chosen line. IPor example,
the class devoted to live stock aims to
give a general knowledge of feeding,
breeding and handling of horses, cattle
sheep and swine, and includes also a
book on dairying* If, for any reason,
tbe reader does not desire to take all
the work in the class devoted to live
stock and is especially interesteii in
dairying, he may select only that portion relating to dairy work, and receive proper credit.
The course comprises five classes,
Soils and Crops, Live Stock, Garden
and Orchard, Home Making and Political Science. Certificates are given on
the completion of the work outlined in
each book and class, and on the completion of three classes.the reader is
presented with an appropriate diploma.
The examinations are all optional and
any person may read in the course
without sending in reports or taking
examinations of any kind.
This course was but recently established, yet it has readers all over the
United States and Canada, and the
great interest manifested by all those
who are now enjoying its opportunities
is a good indication of its value. Its
popularity arises from the fact that it
is prepared for busy men; it is short,
practical and instructive; it oilers a
scheme of advisory correspondence
with the college authorities which
makes it possible to become intimately
acquainted with the work of the experimental stations*
Send a postal card to tho Secretary
for full information regarding this
course.

Th« Snooting Season.
The time for sport has coma Thera
is a new lift in the cool crisp air. The
ground is yet dry, but there is no haze.
All the streams are crystal clear. The
nightly frost vanishes before the rising
sun. All animated nature thrills with
new life as the blood is revivified in
preparation for winter. The country
dweller finds a keener relish in every
sort of food. He springs from his bed in
the morning freshened by a sounder
sleep. He does his work with such eass
that exertion is a pleasure aud he breaks
into hilarious song and shouting, glad
that he is alive.
It is then that the country editor find!
it a pleasure to "canvass" among thf
farmers. It is so refreshing to sauntei
through the woods and "just happen
in" about dinner time when sweet potatoes just from the soil that morning
and fresh pork or game smoke on the
table, when butter is hard and milk
cold without ice and all the fall fruit*
are at their best. The politician is out
too. There is "speaking" at the country schoolhouse at night, where tha
other party is "roasted" and the "cause
of these hard times" set forth in English which far more than makes up in
force what it lacks in refinement. Truly our dialect poet was justified in his
rollicking parody:
Oh, who would die in autumn
With all fruit so fit for eating,
When all good things are getting ripe
And candidates are treating?
The wild creatures, too, have theii
fun at this season. The crow, of all
birds the knowingest, calls his fellows
into consultation, and after the pending
question is settled he takes his enjoyment in teasing other creatures. Tha
quails know when the "season" cornel
almost as soon as the hunter doeB, and
the watchword, "A man with a gun!"
flies rapidly from field to field, or, if it
does not, why is it that a covey which
one day will run along by one's horsa
so near that the rider can almost strike
them with his whip will a day or two
later keep carefully out of gunshot!
Surely they have means of learning
"when the game law runs out." Just
before cold weather is the time to enjoy
the society of the squirrels. One may
then sit perfectly quiet in the woods,
and these pretty creatures will come so
near him that their every motion may
be studied. But let him make the slightest stir, and, whisk I those little bright
eyes have recognized an enemy, and the
nimble creature is on the opposite side
of the nearest tree.
The latest conclusion of advanced
Darwinians is that man is descended
not from the monkey, but from a creature near akin to the present squirrel,
which survived the horrors of the pleistocene era because of its great brain power, and there is reason in it. It is fun
to surprise the squirrel when he has but
one tree for refuge, and that one with
no leafy top, and see how skillfully he
maneuvers to keep on the side opposite;
hence the current rural conundrum: If
the man goes around the tree, the squirrel always on the opposite side, does the
man go around the squirrel? It is strange
that the question could be raised. Surely a man who goes around a circle goes
around everything inside the circle, and
what difference can it make whether the
thing moves or not, so long as it remains within the circle?
Indian summer is indeed beautiful,
and-the cold, clear season which follows it is pleasant, too; but, alas! much
of the old time glory has passed away.
We no longer have those long stretches
of primeval forest—miles on miles of
walnut, oak and other splendid trees,
with scarce a stick amiss. We no longer
crack jokes, tell stories and drink cider
by the crackling hickory wood fires.
We have to burn coal now, and to*
often in "a stove. We never—that is,
hardly ever—hear the faraway honk,
honk of the wild geese in the clear cold
air of late autumn as they wing their
way to the south. We can no longer
range at will in deep woods for wild
fruit or game. Will our children hav«
any romance of early days at all to look
back to? Is it possible that they can 40
years hence look back With sentimental
regret to this open country and endless
fields, to coal stoves and their accompaniments as we do to those magnificent
forests alive with game and the roaring
fires in the old broad fireplace?
In England the favorite American
apple is the Newton pippin. Next after
that come the King and the Baldwin.
It is a great pity so many American
farmers have not yet^learned to pack
apples decently in a barrel The fruit
should be of uniform size, color and flavor, packed regularly in the barrel with
the blossom end down. A slovenly barrel of apples, such as the British call
''slack packed and wasty," brings from
50 cents to §1 less than one packed in
the right way.
Chicago, after experiencing every
other kind of riot under the son, las
had a new one. It is an "antisanitary
riot" It was starred up by low down
slum people, who don't want to be vaccinated.     ... j
