Altliowfli the Board has heen hampered hy a lack ot' desired time in h 7 which to show the hest results, it has endeavored to present a true insight into the life of the short course, its activities and attainments. lf we have accom- plished, in any measure, a portion of what we have attempted, we shall feel repaid. Hut, if we have failed, consolation may he found in the knowledge that we have done our hest under the prevailing' conditions. May the 1915 FOUR LEAF Clpoviclt prove worthy of the standard set hy those of previous years, and be truly representative of the Short Course spirit and ideals. 5 Q-ik-ij E DWR HuvR5 Ha!

HE General Course opened under most auspicious circumstances in the line new building which is just nearing completion. Unfortunately the first part of the term was mainly spent in an effort to keep warm, varied by the occasional fragments of lectures which could be heard above the roar of the patent heating and ventilating system. Two weeks of this caused an epidemic of colds and rheumatism, and a retreat te the old Short Course building, where the work has been carried on in more restricted quarters but in greater comfort. In spite of these drawbacks, the able corps of instructors, aided by the helpful and suggestive questions of McCracken, Bunce and ,l'arvin, have im- parted a vast fund of useful knowledge which will undoubtedly have a great infiuence on the crops of New Jersey. t Some of the boys have already learned to handle Old jerry quite fearlessly, but prefer to keep a safe distance when judging the other horses. McClave is still inclined to judge a pig along the same lines as a race horse, but otherwise gives indications of developing into an expert farmer. A few students prefer to pursue their studies of chickens at the opera house and report excellent progress. At least one interesting photograph has been secured, and it is hoped that others can be obtained. A A Shultise was edified to learn that sheep's milk is used principally for lanibsg McCracken now knows that throwing the manure over a fence will not keep the flies bred there from getting back to the barng and all the boys seem glad to know that Holstein milk is good for babies. Professor Minkler has cheered up a number of the students by showing them that their visits to the opera house have given them training in observa- tion along some of the lines most important in stock judgingg and l'rofessor App has taught us how to increase the corn yield by several years of selection, after which the dam corn is used for field planting. lt is fortunate that l rofessor Lewis gives but one lecture a week to the General Course, or there would be grave danger of many students abandoning their previous plans to go into the chicken business, which would naturally have a bad influence in the State by creating overfproduction in the poultry line and a shortage in general farm and dairy products. - 17 C23 Mr. Owen has given us a course in Farm Machinery which will make us all leaders in that branch of the profession, if there is anything in the famous adage: Keep close to your desks and never go to sea And you all may be rulers of the King's Naveef' Mr. Ragsdale has talked form and quality until one cannot try to put him- self to sleep by the old reliable sheep method without estimating density of bone, substance, etc., until he is more wide awake than ever. There is some difference of opinion as to whether we are justified in taking the means of livelihood from the hard-working men who compose the black- smiths' and carpenters' unions, and no doubt these organizations will make a bitter fight to prevent the forge and carpenter shops from putting them out of business. , Mr. Hoffman stated at the beginning of the course that he would base his work on health, comfort, happiness, and economy. After a few visits to the forge shop we concluded that our ideas of health, comfort, and happiness dif- fered slightly from Mr. I-Ioffman's. As to economy, we don't know. Perhaps, however, he believes in teaching the value of these things by contrast. The statistics on farm management which have been hurled at us would fill a volumxe. After studying these figures carefully, we are encouraged to believe that if we thoroughly master all the subjects taught in the Short Course, apply the principles of scientific agriculture efhciently, and have sufficient capital to buy a large farm and equip it well, we may eventually make as large a Labor income as the hired man, and if unusually successful may even do as well as the average grocery clerk. U As we go to press, quizzes are coming thick and fast and lines of care are showing on bright young faces which were formerly wreathed in smiles. How- ever, most of the boys are coming through with Hying colors, and there is no doubt that the class of 1915 will be an honor to the institution. If further evidence of the value of the course were needed a glance at the bulletin board would supply it. 'Communications from many Hrms and indi- viduals are posted there offering the students splendid openings in every branch of agriculture, from farming a ten-acre plot on shares to selling Ostermoor mattresses on commission. Surely no progressive farmer can afford to miss these opportunities-handy things to occupy one's leisure time on wet days and in the winter season. Altogether we fairly reek with information. It oozes from our lips when- ever we can find a willing, or unwilling, listener. VVhether it can be translated into the muscular energy essential to putting it to practical use is as yet a mat- ter of pure speculation, but we have hopes. In any event, we are thankful for an' insight into the inner workings of Nature which make the wheels go 'round. 18 WARD TYSON PIZRRY I-lhilaclelphia, Pa.

NE night, as 1 lay comfortably tucked in my warm bed and clasped in the arms of drowsy Morpheus, my mind, disengaging itself, rambled out over the realms of the distant future, and there in dim perspective l saw visions of an age yet to be. The first scene on which my eyes rested was a vast concourse of people, a mass of excited humanity, that pulsated and swayed around a platform on which stood a solitary figure. He seemed to thrill the crowd with his superb eloquence. Something in the Figure seemed familiar, but l knew not what. l quickly drew nearer, and to my astonishment l recognized my old comrade, Platt. But, oh! how changed. The erect, vigorous frame had gone, and in its place was the shriveled form and stooping shoulders which hctokqnctl the student. The never-dying, impelling spirit was there still, the piercing glance, the energetic gestures, and as with a wan smile he swept the crowd, and with a majestic wave of his feeble hand, he concluded with, And government, of the peach growers, bv the peach growers, and for the peach growers, shall not perish from the earth. The 'burst olf thunderous applause which these words called forth disturbed my dream and shifted t e scene. I found myself walking on a lonely country road. The chirping of numerous birds. the soft swishing of the tall willows swaying gracefully in the summer breeze, were the only sounds which fell upon my ears, as l wandered aimlessly ou. Suddenly, a faint crv for help broke the stillness. l hastened around the sharp bend in the narrow highway, and there, lying on the road, face downward, was a man, with blood gushing from numer- r-us wounds. I turnedhim over gentlv, l stooped lower. to hear him whisper, Alasl they have abused me, and ill-treated me. because T have tried to teach them the great truth, that the life history of all Dipteras is that they have two wings. With surprise and sor- row, I recognized mv old friend, Thomas. the brilliant entomologist, and whispered sadly in his ear, Alas! dear sir, you should have known that no prophet is received in his own country. The scene changed quickly, as they do in dreams. l seemed to be in a little country store. A large inscription adorned the wall, which read in bold letters: The Aerouauts' Rest. All kinds of aeroplane fixtures for sale. The farmers. from the countrv 'rouud, were lounging lazily about. on old boxes and antique chairs, discussing the leading ques- tion of the couutrvside, The value of the aeroplane to the farmer as regards spraying and marketing. VVhen the interesting discussion was at its height, the door openediand in hobbled two feeble old men, whose heads were bowed with age and whose hoarv, locks swept their aged breasts. Some of the younger set politely offered them chairs. Just as the newcomers l1ad become comfortably seated the cry went un. Let old brothers Ridg- way and VVilliams decide our argument. All eyes turned to NVilliams, who seemed the more loquacious of the two. The old sage looked around gravely and said, Young men. these new-fangled ideas are all bosh: success lies only in downright hard work. For instance, my old friend Ridfrway. in his boyhood davs was up each day before breakfast to chase awav the abominable pests which infested his crops. And as for nie. young men. ir: those food old days T raised strawberries so large a derrick was needed to harvest each fruit. This mild statement had scarcely left his lips, when T felt myself again car- ried nver limitless space. To my great surprise T found mvself in a large room. seemingly an attic, and felt the odor of strong chemicals. Looking around. I noticed the dust-covered -.valls were lined with shelves, on which stood bottles, flasks and burettes of everv description, size and color. Tn the center of the room was a large table, strewn with all the paraphernalia 43 of a chemist's laboratory. Beside this table stood, or rather stooped, an old man, his long gray hair descended beyond his shoulders and swept forward to mingle with his great, venerable, hoary beard, which brushed the table o'er which he stood. At the invol- untary exclamation of surprise which escaped me, the old man looked up, and revealed the pale, haggard face of Brookstcin. When our mutual surprise was over, I questioned him and learned that he had for years vainly sought that 76th element, on which the revolution of all science depended. In a thin, querulous voice he said, My former school- nfates have plenty of this world's goods. Jacobie, with his chain of moving picture houses, the VVehb and Raws Quick Lunch Restaurants, Van Zandt has turned his great executive ability into the amassing of wealth, Flemer's four-branch peach tree has brought him riches, Reynolds non' edits the great Daily News, with a circulation of ten million, O'Flanagan, with the traditional tendencies of his race toward politics, has he- eome fat on graft, Felmer, with his patent recipes for fancy mustache production, has joined the millionaires. Howell, his cynicism, Gordon, his professional proclivitiesg Ilisbrow and Duncan, with their herculean lungs, Cook, with his knowledge of Cicero, Loslehen, the bard, Tliunderbolt Smith, the pugilist, and others I could mention. Each has used his greatest ability and reached the pinnacle of his ambition, while I, in my little attic, have been sacrificing myself in the interest of science. A loud shout and a vigorous shake aroused mc. I sat holt upright and rubbed my nubelicving eyes. Vv'ith a glance at the clock, the full realization dawned upon me that I had been wasting precious time in idle dreams, and I had but a few minutes left in which to catch the lecture on Protein, carbohydrates and fat.

During the first few days we spent a good deal of time in getting our bearings, but we soon learned the most direct route to the Bijou, how to get the largest meal for the least expenditure at the lunch room, and to realize that Venus Randall was actually a student and not a German spy, and that Pop Daley was not the college president. The second week we were each assigned a pen of birds to take care of, and for the first few days many a poor hen had mangel wurzel beets for breakfast and shavings for supper and longed in vain for her dearly beloved Billy NVcne. However, we were not long in discovering that His Royal Highness, Le Roy Shelton, Count of George Street, Duke of Redmond Street,,King of the Klein Qin fancyj, and all-around business man, had had some previous experience with chickens, and he gladly imparted his knowledge to us. On November 30, we, the class of l9l5, under the able leadership of Pro- fessor Thompson, further distinguished ourselves by joining the Rutgers Col-- lege Poultry Association and elected the following officers to guide us over the rough and stormy way: President, tl. Daley: Vice President, H. R. Vogel 3 Secretary, Mrs. E. H. Dowdg Treasurer, C. I. Egertong Librarian, II. G. Duffyg Executive Committee, H. Chrystal, B. Randall, L. D. Fitzsimrnons. We have held meetings once a week and have had an attendance record of over ninety per cent. We have had severalqinteresting talks from our mem-- bers and addresses from outsiders, among these being Prof. H. R. Lewis, dear to the hearts of poultry students, on Poultry Shows, judging and ,judgesug Professor Aubry, the school children's idol, on The Poultry Industryof Eur- ope g judge Card of Connecticut, the originator of the Xlfhite Laced Red Cor- nish breed, on Business Tactics on the Poultry Farm. He also told, us how to fool the judges, but keep it dark! Professor Thompson, the Disease Doctor, on his extension work in Arkansas, pronounced Arkansaw, if you please, On another memorable occasion we held a debate and were inspired toiheights of oratory by the presence of the Home Economic Course en masse. A 59 December 10 we attended in a body the Poultry Show at the Grand Central Palace in New York, where we saw many strange breeds of birds and much to interest us, including the souvenir booths. Some forgot the dignity of their calling, even so far as to be interested in the cat show. That night some of us came back to New Brunswick, and the rest, well-they didn't! When we were once more assembled and in working order we directed our energies toward our debutante party, which was held on December l8. After being entertained by Joe Gallagher, the Irish comedian, Herman Schmidt, the prestidigatator, .Professor Lewis's game, dancing and refreshments, every one unqualihedly pronounced it to have been the most brilliant social affair of the season. The next day at noon we broke up for the Christmas holidays and at two o'clock there were only three Poultry Students left in New Brunswick. December 28, some of us Cwe do not mention nanres for political reasonsj returned for Farmers' VVeek, and were more than repaid for our efforts by the interesting and educational program of speeches which it was our pleasure to hear. Among them were Dr. Sanborn of Massachusetts and Professor Kirk- patrick of Storrs Agricultural College, who spoke on subjects dear to our hearts. 'During this week we not only celebrated New Year's Eve in a proper and befitting manner, but we also attended the annual banquet of the R. C. P. A. Alumni Association, and profited much from the experiences of our predecessors, who are rapidly making their mark in the poultry world. During this week there was also a side-show attraction in the Annual Poultrygand Agricultural Exhibition, held under the auspices of the R. C. P. A. and the Middlesex County Agricultural Association. All of us entered birds, but unfortunately we could not all win prizes. The silver cup for the Students' judging Competition was won by George Dunn, who later filled it up and told us how he done it. E. A. Heckler was second, bl. Haddon third, R. C. Zimmerman fourth, and I. A. Morrison fifth., Among many' of the stu- dents' prize-winning birds were Joe Haddon's third prize l'iarred,Rock and Parson Vogel's champion duck.' January 4.the second term began, and we ploughed our way through mud, rain, snow, hail, wind, sun and clouds to the round of lectures and routine work. .This ,month also saw the start of the incubation and brooding work, under the leadership of Professor Brett, who always has an answer for every question.. . . , . . Q January l4, the old officers having done their work faithfully and well, we elected the following new officers for the R. C. P. A.: President, G. Dunn, Vice President, UT. H. Niebankg Secretary, A. S. Wliitneyg Treasurer, -T. D. Haddon, Librarian, H. Petermang Executive Committee, L. Schreiber, P. H. Maurer, ff. Gallagher. 60 The next week, enthroned in luxurious and speedy motor cars, we took our six-times deferred inspection trip to some nearby farms, and although we had a little snow and a little sun we all enjoyed the trip and benefited by it. In the last few weeks of our course ex-'ents have come and gone with a bewildering rush. As our lirst party was such a success, we gave another one which was even more brilliant, we attended the final round-up banquet, we heard 'Duffy speak at Commencement, we did this and we did that, all with that spirit and enthusiasm which has made the class of 1915 one that will long be remembered in the annals of the Short Course histories. And now it is all over. Our brief course is run. Some of us will return :mother year to acquire more and greater knowledge in other lines, some will go out to work for others and some to work for themselves, but upon us all, whate'er we do, and where'er we go, May Good Fortune Smile. l .

VV e were expecting, in this short term, to become fully versed in every line of the work, with little, if any, studying. Soon we received our first jolt, when, at our lack of knowledge, Miss P'eck resorted to written lessons, which after- ward seemed to become a fatal habit of our instructors. Imagine the consternation of our class when we found that Professor M inkler had volunteered the information to one of us that the young ladies who had previously taken the course objected because beans had been thrown on their heads Cby whom no one knowsi. Thus far, fortunately, we have been spared this ordeal. But heaven only knows what is in store for us. The Home Economics Department appreciated the cordial invitation ex- tended to become members of the E. B. Voorhees Association, and also the invitation of the Poultry Department to attend an evening's program given by them. One cold afternoon Miss Peck announced that this was the day set to dis- cover the beauties in architecture found here in New Brunswick. She seemed to take particular delight in the most admirable examples found on College avenue, much to the extreme annoyance of two in our midst who kept a safe distance in the lead, but Miss Rogers' watchful eye was upon them and they were still with us until we disbanded. A few of the girls deemed it best to cut this very afternon, knowing the style and characteristics of some of these resi- dences exceedingly well. They were congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in so easily evadingtheir teachers and classmates to the extent that Bruns' looked attractive to them. So can you conceive their extreme amazement and annoyance upon entering the store to find both teachers there, recuperating from their strenuous jaunt? A very rapid exit ensued. Shortly after this expedition, in our search for knowledge we visited a meat market to learn the different cuts of meat. There was just enough standing room in this good-sized store for the bevy of girls, but the bewildered butcher 74 boy was at a loss to know where to put his regular customers. Upon over- coming his perplexity, he bestowed upon us some very valuable information concerning cuts of meat. Upon the said occasion many glances of confusion were exchanged. After our Christmas vacation, it was with great disappointment we learned that our beloved teacher, Miss Peck, was not returning because of the severe illness of her mother.

Voorhees Agricultural Society is an organization owing its birth to nothing so much as the Short Course Spirit. Organized De-- cember 16, l907, through the efforts of the late Dr. lidward li. Voorhees, the society has grown to be one of the largest factors in the winter Short Courses and promises to be, through its graduate division, an active influence toward better agriculture in New Jersey. The society naturally divides itself into two branches: the Student Division and the Graduate Division. Each new term witnesses the organization of a new Student Division, and this body, while of a temporary nature, is a very important part of the school work, since it is the only body representing the students as a Whole, and as such exerts a strong influence on all Short Course activities during the term. At the close of each term the Student 'Division is automatically absorbed by the Graduate Division, which constitutes the parent or permanent organization. The nature of this branch of the society is necessarily different than that of the student body. Close social intercourse is practically impossible and the majority of its work must be done through correspondence. Experiments out- lined by its executive committee are carried on by the members for the benefit of all and reports made upon same when completed. Contests are held in the raising of farm products and members competing are given an opportunity to exhibit at New Brunswick each winter. 82 Siacox in 'Vicim Oi-'ifici-zlas. F. l-lolterhott, Sec. H. Brill, Treas. B. Maupin, Pres. M rs. l-l. Tobelinan, V. Pres. The 1914-15 Student Division of the li. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society was organized November 24, 191-l, and rapidly increased to a large member-- ship. It has held regular weekly meetings since that time, which have been both educational and social in character. The society has been very intiuential in promoting friendship and good-fellowship among the students and has sue-- ceeded in discovering and developing talent along special lilies that might otherwise have remained obscure. That the results have been very satisfactory in this direction is evidenced by the attainments of the orchestra, the glee club and the debating team, all of which are parts of the organization, as well as the work of the Year Book Stalt, which owes its existence primarily tothe society. During the term the society has been successful in obtaining some very interesting and instructive addresses for their meetings. A few of the speakers and their subjects follow: Prof. li. C. Minkler, VVhy 1 am a lT?tl'l'l1CI'HQ Prof. Alva Agee, Extension Vlfork: Wfhat it is and what it means to the farmer of New Jersey , Prof. Harry R. Lewis, .lil'lieiency in Agriculture , Mr. A. H. Hoffman, 1Vireless Telegrapliyug Mr. bl. Allen Ridgway, Concrete and Its Uses on the Farm. The students have developed a genuine class spirit of unity and helpfulness through the agency of this society and surely its influence for good is a promi- nent factor in our Short Course life. 83 A D V!

HE Rutgers College Poultry Association was formed for the benelit of the students and alumni of the Short Course in Poultry Husbandry, and it is to be deplored that this opportunity for bettering one's condition and increasing one's knowledge of this particularly remunerative branch of agriculture is taken advantage of by so small a number. Evidently there must be some underlying reasons for this lack of interest on the part of the alumni. Perhaps the association is not fulfilling its purpose, but then it must be borne in mind that an association is composed of individuals, and if the bricks of a house do not hold together the building will crumble mul fall away. The life and future scope of usefulness of the R. C. P. A. depends entirely upon the members individuallyg they should keep in close connection with each other as well as with the Experiment Station. There is perhaps no better way of creating interest and infusing spirit into the organization than by conducting co-operative experiments in conjunction with the experiment staff. The members of the stall would be delighted to outline experiments which may be conducted by a single member, or, perhaps, for more authentic results, by several. Scientific poultry culture is as yet in its infancy, and a vast field for investi- gational and research work is offered to those interested. Much has yet to be 85 X Siacoxn 'I'if:lzM OF1 l.L'liRS.

Wl1itney. learned regarding principles of breeding, methods of feeding, processes of incubation, and care of the birds during the molting period. And where is opportunity for accomplishing results more prevalent than in the R. C. P. A.? The members are more or less acquainted with the underlying' scientific principles and by application of same could appreciably contribute to the uplift of poultry culture in general. The results obtained could be incorporated in monthly bulletin form in connection with the Experiment Station work and distributed broadcast over the State. Valuable prestige would be gained thereby, and there is no doubt that in due time the R. C. P. A. would attain an enviable reputation and be looked upon as a determining factor in the poultry industry of this State. V Besides the educational value attached to such a project, one must not fail to consider the commercial possibilities as well. The influence wrought by the association's experimental work would undoubtedly have a beneficial effect upon the financial interests of the members, through the sale of breeding stock, day-old chicks, and hatching eggs. Such a result is only naturally to be ex- pected. A person engaged in poultry-keeping, wishing to increase his stock, or one desiring to enter the business, usually resorts to the advertising mediums of the current poultry journals and farm periodicals for desired information. Several advertisements meet his eye, among others one inserted by a member of the R. C. P. A. Not knowing the personality of any of the advertisers, the 86 prospective buyer would invariably be infiuenced by one's connection with the association, due to the reputation it had gained by its progressive strides in scientific poultry culture. May not this hnancial possibility alone be of suffi- cient value to stimulate the members to activity in the future? There is yet another line of endeavor which would bring immeasurable honor to the association and its constituents, namely, the confirmation and suc- cessful demonstration in commercial poultry keeping of the results obtained by the Experiment Station. XVe all realize that the average person engaged in agriculture entertains an unholy contempt for experiment stations and looks upon scientific principles as nothing more than book talk, theory, or the work- ings ot' a deluded brain. If, through their activities, the members of the R. C. F. A. can be instrumental in relieving this cloud of skepticism, they shall have aided in overcoming one of the most serious setbacks to progessive agriculture. The members should also strive to organize co-operative poultry associa- tions in their respective communities, thus making possible an increased rev- enue for their products, as well as a reduction in the cost of feeds, fertilizers and supplies. Such a movement is admirably exemplified by the Vineland Poultry Association of South Jersey, which, because of its facilities to ship in large quantities, is able to secure a premium on eggs of from three to tive cents a dozen throughout the year. Another possibility for the members lies in the interchange of high pro- ducingbreeding stock of known prepotency, purchased through the funds of the organization. This will ensure to all a basis upon which to develop a highly profitable laying strain. Nor should the members neglect to con- sider the social side of the matter and the h 'im ' recreation and incentive for better re- I sults inspired by co-operative experiments. I These experiments will, without doubt, X have a tremendous bearing on the future prosperity of the individual members. , These things taken into consideration, R ' namely, the educational, commercial and al X social possibilities, it is vitally important a that the organization be developed to its If utmost, and it is to be hoped that the fore- Q ,gl ilk V going remarks will serve as an appeal for a stronger and more efficient Rutgers Col- A, RICUPUAH MEMBER lege Poultry Association. J. G. D. JUDGWG POULTRY 87 Debating C. ,l. hlactfartliy ,l. Berdan I. G. 'Duffy T a meeting of the li. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, held Tuesday evening, December 15, 1914, it was proposed that the society take steps to arrange a debate on some agricultural question with the Rutgers Agricultural Society. A committee, consisting of ll. F. Maupin, XV. S. Howell, Ir., and ul. R. Berdan, was appointed to take up the matter and to issue a chal- lenge to the body mentioned. . For the purpose of choosing the men best fitted to represent the society in this debate, a series of preliminary debates was held Tuesday evening, January 12, 1915, Professors Minkler and Lewis and Mr. Ragsdale acting as judges. The following questions were debated: Resolved, That the automobile is a necessity to the np-to-date farmer. Affirmative: G. Caldwell and VV. T.. Parvin. Negative: S. J, Shultise and C. T... A. Beckers. The negative side received the decision. Resolved, That the application of animal manures is more efficient than green manuringf' Affirmative: I. W. Gardiner and L. Ballinger, Ir. Nega- tive: I. D. McCracken and bl. P. Van Zandt. The decision was awarded to the negative. Resolved, That co-operation will help the large majority of farmers more 88 than increase of production. Affirmative: I. R, Berdan and I. G. Duffy. Negative: J. R. Perry and G. Goerk. After awarding the decisions in the evening's debates, Professor Minkler, speaking for the judges, placed the best five speakers in the order of their ability, and in so placing the men the judges also considered the participants in the debate held by the poultry students, Thursday, january 7, 1915, as can- didates for rank. The speakers were placed as follows: J. R. Berdan, C. I. McCarthy, J. G. Duffy, J. P. Van Zandt and j. Shultise. As a result of this placing, the members of the Short Course Debating Team were chosen, con- sisting of three debaters and two alternates, in the order named. -o- On Thursday, january 7, 1915, an intensely interesting and hotly contested debate was held under the auspices of the student division of the Rutgers Col- lege Poultry Association. The subject was: Resolved, That the White Leghorn is more profitable to the New Jersey poultry farmer than the Barred Plymouth Rock. Affirmative: Robert Zimmerman, Cal. Il. McCarthy, james G. Duffy. i Negative: Ernest A. Heckler, Horace Chrystal, Carl I. Egerton. Judges: Professor Lewis, Professor Minkler, and Mr. Ragsdale. The debate grew out of several discussions between the members of the association as to whether the Leghorn, with its superior egg production, could return a greater revenue than the Plymouth Rock, with its combination of meat and eggs. Both sides acquitted themselves in splendid form, each reviewing in eloquent detail the many attractive features of their pet breed. The Leghorn team received the popular decision, but the judges decided in favor of the Plymouth Rock team, two to one. -o- On the morning of Tuesday, the 12th of January, the Home Economics Department held a debate in the cooking laboratory. The subject was: Resolved, That in the making of sponge cake, salt should be used instead of sugar. The contestants in the affirmative were Mrs. Tobelman, Miss Drayton, Miss Janeway and Miss Halsted. Those on the negative side were Miss Rogers and Mrs. Hoffman. There was a large number of judges, consisting of all those students who assembled in the lunch room. The affirmative warmly upheld its point, illustrating it with a practical demonstration, and for a time it seemed as though they would prove success- ful, as the sympathies of the majority of the audience were with them. The negative, however, contested every inch of the ground and gradually gained the upper hand by reason of superior argument, and the final decision was in their favor by the unanimous vote of the judges, C. and H. Lock. 89 Resolved, That intensive methods in crop production are conducive to greater profits to the farmer than co-operative methods in marketing the pro- ducts, is a question of much importance which will have been decided before the publication of this book. As we go to press, arrangements are being com- pleted for the annual debate between the Four Year and Short course students, to be held in the Auditorium of the new Agricultural Building, on Tuesday evening, February 'l6. This is the third animal debate held by the students and they have always afforded unbounded rivalry. The lirst debate was won by the Short Course and the second by the Four Year students. Following the custom established, the Short Course students, being the losers of last yea1 s debate, challenged the Four Year students, accepting the above subject which was submitted. From present indications the debate of this year will be spirited. The mem- bers of the Short Course debating team are all experienced speakers of ability. VVe regret sincerely that we are unable to announce the result of this debate, but suffice it to say that the Short Course team is confident of victory and we trust that it will carry out our prophecy. ' Hasty Hatching on College Farm F you don't believe this is true, ask Bullet Joe, VVestwood, N. jfs popular Irish comedian. He had the incubator to prove it. Bullet did a heap of thinking some time ago and figured that there was no logical reason why, if an incubator hatched chicks out in twenty-one days, the same result could not be had in one day if the heat was increased 2100 per cent. So Bullet set seven eggs in the incubator on Monday. Twenty-four hours later he peered inside. A healthy-looking chick was bursting out of its shell. Bullet has- tened to the feed house to get some corn-meal for the newcomer. Upon his return to the house Bullet heard shrill crowing. A glance into the incubator took his breath away. The chick had grown into a full-sized rooster with spurs and all. Witliotit waiting to release the prodigy he ran again to the feed house to get some whole corn. But when he returned to the incubator the crowing had stopped. The rooster was lying on its side roasted to a turn! W'hat about the other eggs? Ask Bullet He was so excited that he for- got to tell me' about them. 90 The Short Course Orchestra Left to Right-Heilin, Duncan, lJuM'ont, lanterman, Caldwell, Beckers Claeaderj, Mrs. Tohelman, Van Zandt, ltaws, NVcnc, Fitzcsimmons. ' OLLOWTING the precedent established hy the 1913-14 class, a call for volunteers was made early in the term, with the ohject of organizing a Short Course orchestra. The call met with great success and an enthusi- astic body of students promptly arranged for the first rehearsal. Since their first appearance at an E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, the orchestra has enjoyed an enviable popularity, and their excellent attainments have not lacked appreciation, even from outside sources, for the favorable comment of the press quickly caused the organization to receive invitations to entertain at other than Short Course gatherings. The rendering of its services at several social functions in New Brunswick, not only lent credit to the organization, but also reflected honor upon the Short Course student body for including such meme hers among them. The Short Course Orchestra fills a great part in making the 1915 class the hanner class of the Short Courses. 91 Glee Club HE organization of the Short Course Glee Club marks a new departure in the winter activities at the agricultural college. Like most of the other student movements, the club owes its birth to the E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, its organization being proposed at a meeting of that society early in December. A committee, composed of XVilson Howell, Charles L. A. Beckers and James McCracken, was directly responsible for the forma- tion of the club, and the efhciency of these men and of Mr. Hoffman, whose services were secured as coach, as well as the interest taken by Mrs. Helen Tobelman, who acted as accompanist, were important factors in making the club a success. The Glee Club deserves great credit for the results accomplished under the difficulties encountered. The work being started comparatively late in the term, has given the singers little opportunity for proper preparation, and this opportunity was further decreased by the late arrival of their music. But in spite of these handicaps, the enthusiasm displayed and the persistency of the members throughout have made possible the appearance of the club at several meetings of the E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, where their efforts were greatly appreciated. Beside the pleasure derived from their connection with the club, its 1'11C1'1'l- bers may fcel that they have established a precedent in Short Course activities which will in all probability serve as an incentive for prompt and systematic organization of similar clubs in future classes.

HE Short Courses in Agriculture offered in connection with Rutgers and the State Agricultural College are designed to train men and women in the science of ag1'iculture and in the art of home-making. Eight years ago the late Dr. lidward 15. Voorhees appeared before the legis- lative committee on Agriculture and lfinauce and appealed for funds to estab- lish practical courses that would appeal to young men or women interested in agriculture and home-making, who were unable to enroll in the regular and more extensive four-year courses oifered by the State Agricultural College. The response was generous. The present Short Course building was built and equipped, a judging pavilion erected, plans perfected for the present Short Course greenhouse, while much needed equipment, such as specimens of live stock, farm machines, and other laboratory materials, were assembled. From the outset students appreciated the opportunities offered and the enrollment has grown from thirty-live in 1907 to two hundred and ten in 1914, and this without extensive publicity or systematic solicitation. The growth is in reality phenomenal considering the limited facilities, such as class rooms and laboratory equipment, available for student use. Not only are we proud of the increased enrollment recorded from year to year, but the working spirit of the students, in itself, is truly inspiring. Our students, for the most part, come with a definite purpose in view-that of making the most of the opportunity afforded by the State-and are not content upon doing things by halves. XV ith twenty hours per week devoted to lecture and quiz work and eighteen afternoon laboratory hours scheduled in each course, it is clear that the ambitious student iinds an abundance of work to be done. The Short Course Spirit prevails and is a mighty factor in itself. That the fond hopes of the late Dr. Voorhees have been realized no one denies, and all credit the present popularity of the courses to his keen fore- sight and rare judgment in planning and executing the foundation working plans. It is the aim and purpose of the College to broaden the scope and useful- ness of these courses by offering every possible opportunity to the young men and women to obtain that training of mind and hand so essential for success in farm and home life and thus prepare them to cope with the intricate problems of agriculture and home-making. Measured by the achievements and accom- plishments of those students completing the courses and entering the field of farm activity, it must be admitted that the Short Courses wield a powerful influence for good in the State's agricultural development. 94 lt All Depends BY josEPH OIFLANAGAN lt all depends , that simple phrase ' Resounds the country o'er, ,From California's winding bays To jersey's sandy shore. From all the varied walks of life That cry each day ascends, Which shows that in our daily strife XVe know it all depends. On many a blood-red battle plain Its echoes rent the air, Caus'd gallant charge be made in vain, Chang'd hope to black despair. liven now in war-torn Flanders, As cannon heaven rends, You may hear the hoarse commander's Cry, Men, 'lt all depends' But in the school or college hall Its greatest pow'r is shown, For there the teachers, one and all, Have long its influence known: And at New Jersey Farm School, Where science all work transcends, You'll find that every golden rule Starts with, Hit all depends. For if some fruit you wish to sow, For home use or for sale, You'll hear the so-call'd peach will grow Where so-call'd apples fail. And though you're told what has been done What some success attends, Your searching ends where it begun, Because, it all depends. Or if you would ambition skill In setting bud or Scion, You'll hear, Sunlight aids chlorophyllf' And, Cambium layers combine. But should you ask how to prune a tree, Your ignorance offends, You're answer'd thus: It seems to me That here 'it all depends' 95 Or if old Adam's trade you'd fain To fullest measure know, You'll hear about Montana's plain, Or hills of Idaho, But when you come to Jersey soils All information ends, None yet has studied local styles, On which lt all depends. And if a working horse you keep, Or dairy cow you own, Be economical, not cheap, In building flesh and bone: And doubt all balanced rations And concentrated blends, They need strict investigation, Because, it all depends. Or study soil fertility Until you're blue of face, You'l1 hear of N, and K, and P, Of acid and of base: Some you may choose and some reject, As science or custom tends, Still you're but partially correct, Because, it all depends. Or go to lecture or to quiz On entomology, You'll hear the meatmorphosis Of bug and moth and flea. But if to poison or repel Your inclination bends, You've got to know the mouth-parts well On these it all depends. In poultry and in forage crops Those words still largely loom, When drinking in the knowledge drops Re broiler or legume. You'1l hear them in the blacksmith shop, Where heat the steel extends, Or where the wood you cut and chop, The words- it all depends. And so, young man, in after years, VVhen busy farmers come, To tell their troubles and their fears, And ask what should be done, just look as one who sees the wayg To know it all pretendsg Then shake your head, look wise, and say, My friend, 'it all dependsf 96 The Forge Shop lt is the Short Course blacksmith shop that most appeals to us, W' ith Mr. Holfman and his forge to keep us company. You take some soft pine shavings and mix them with the coal, Then with a match you start the thing and the smoke begins to roll. The room is small, the ceiling low, the ventilation poor, Your eyes they run, your nose you blow, you cough and sneeze and roar Then you see a ligure faintly standing by the door. It is Mr. Hoffman praying the boys will smoke no more. And when the smoke has cleared a bit you pound and pound away Upon a. piece of red-hot iron the balance of the day. If we could get Boss Minkler to some day come inside, We know 'twoulcl take some urging, and none of us have tried, We are sure he would see the hardship of this suffocating job, And if he stayed there long enough we're sure his head would throb. So now our poem is hnished, but some day we hope to see A decent shop upon the hill, where the old one used to be. 97 C73 A More Efficient Short Course x BY josnrrr R. BERDAN. FFICIENCY in agriculture is the prime object of the State in providing the Short Courses, and it is only with a desire to increase this efhciency that any suggestions relating to the school curriculum may reasonably be made. The eight years elapsing since the inauguration of Short Course work by the State of New Jersey has witnessed great development in this direction, and a constant effort to fit the courses to the growing and ever-changing needs of the student body has been always evident. That further improvement may still be made is only natural, and it is with the hope of aiding such improve- ment that the suggestions here made are offered. There is probably no occupation in which environment plays such an im- portant part as in the practice of farming. The student entering an agricul- tural course should be positive that he is temperamentally fitted for agricultural work and that rural life is to be fully as attractive to him as life in the town or city. Completion of a Short Course term by the student lacking familiarity with actual farm. conditions, only to find that prolonged association with such surroundings is distasteful, would not only involve useless expense on his part in pursuing his studies, but would entail an actual loss to the State in the investment it has made in the education of that individual. Such a result might be reasonably obviated by an entrance requirement of at least one year's practical farm experience. This requirement would naturally add to the efficiency of the courses by placing the entire student body on a more common footing and by furnishing a sounder basis for the successful study of the sub- jects offered. A The duration of the course is necessarily limited by the period of compara- tive inactivity on the farm, and yet the wide range of work to be covered would seem to make a somewhat longer course desirable. By the lengthening of the term to seventeen weeks, or from November first to March first, the subjects offered might be more thoroughly absorbed without serious interfer- ence with the farm program through the student's extended absence from his home. 98 The specihc conditions existing on the individual farm are such that, in order to meet them successfully, the prescribed schedules in the General Agri- culture and Dairy Husbandry Course and in the Fruit Growing and Market Gardening Course should be subject to modiiication. The average student would undoubtedly work to better advantage if certain studies in these courses were made optional. The substitution of a desired subject for one which the individual feels is not so well fitted to his particular needs, would seem a logi- cal improvement in the arrangement of the work. This object might be accom- plished to an extent by dividing each of the two courses mentioned into two distinct parts. cBy such a division we would have four separate branches, viz. : tlj General Agriculture, CZD Dairy Husbandry, Q31 Fruit Growing, t4j Mar- ket Gardening. A combination of any two of these branches might constitute a com-plete course and a certificate be awarded on such a basis. The suggestions tendered and criticisms made will undoubtedly be accepted in the friendly manner in which they are offered. May the Short Course Spirit prevail always and act as a strong intluence toward increased efficiency and better agriculture in our State of New jersey.

Thus it was for the purpose of renewing old associations that my cousin Edna and I weuded our way toward Mrs. Tohelman's cozy home in East Orange one- half hour before the appointed time fdespite the incredulity of some of my readersl. Other girls soon arrived, however, and the spirit of the occasion was made manifest by the laughing and talking as each newcomer arrived. Everywhere were familiar faces. Mrs. M- tnee Rouanj was expatiating on the joys of living on a farm, to Miss Jensen, Miss Jensen, hy the way, has opened up a lunch-room not far from the Short Course building, and it is said that the old lunch-room has a marked deficiency in its customers as a result. Miss Simonson and Miss Selck discussing fashions of the day found mutual interests, for he it known, je members of the Home Economics Course, these two young ladies are upholding the reputation of the Class of 1914-15-Miss Simouson C M1le. Marie J being famed as an exclusive milliner with a small but select parlor on Fifth Avenue, New York, while Miss Selck can teach us not only how we might succeed as dressmakers of fashion, hut also how to make Crocsus look poverty-stricken. Miss Selck is the first woman in this country to supply the much-needed demand of American Clothes for the American Woman, and her success is further evidenced by the maintenance of many branch salons. In conversation with Miss Runyon you suddenly realize that you are a friend of the great authority on all subjects pertaining to Domestic Science now employed hy the U. S. Government. Her salary, I understand, is written in five figures. Following the sound of voices, I observed Miss Helen Lock the center of a small group receiving the good wishes of her friends, as each admired the beautiful sparkler on her left hand ftwo diamonds'-no less l--in a flat setting on either side of a fiery rubyj. And to think she is going to live in that wonderful 3100.000 mansion of her own design, planned in school-the wedding gift of Father-Elect! Her sister, Miss Kathleen, is now head nurse in one of the oldest hospitals of England, and she divides her time between London and Plainheld. Several times in the midst of conversation I noticed Miss Winsor jotting down on I1 piece of paper something which she afterward admitted was data for her hook, adding parenthetically, that her first experience in New Brunswick was the incentive. Speaking of authors, we are pleased to introduce our old friend, Miss Cranmer, whose latese book, The Art of Being Agreeahle, is one of the best sellers. Argumentative voices caused us to listen to Miss lrlalsted, who at that moment was placing great stress on the merits of the Blank sewing machine, as against Miss Jane- way's contention that hand-made pieces are always more secure, being corroborated in this by her own experience. In the midst of this discussion we were interrupted hy the sound of an approaching limousine, out of which stepped Donna Helena Gazoodles. Miss VVelsh needs no intro- duction as the .latest sensation in opera and her name alone is changed. lt is not for me to remind her of the lack of encouragement on our part when we failed to attend those Tuesday night meetings during her first public appearance in the Short Course building. Mrs. Wehh could not come, owing to the necessity of her presence in the construction of her new farm-house planned hy Edna McFadden, of the firm of McMurtry Sz McFad- den, Architects, first prize winners at the San Francisco Exposition. A telegram from Miss Costello, stating that she could not join us, elicited the inform- ation from her cousin, the Prima Donna, that May was recuperating in Palm Beach after a too-eventful season in South Amboy. Miss Drayton was unable to he present, owing to a oooking demonstration given by her that day. Although sorry she could not he with us, we are glad to know that she is making something of an art in which she was so proficient in school. I Then there was the ubiquitous Mrs. Tohelman herself, radiant and happy in her effort to make things pleasant and agreeable for every one-just thc same as at school. We are proud to know that she devotes several months of each year to orchestral work, touring, etc., owing to her success as accompanist while in New Brunswick. All experiences told and reminiscences finished, the girls joined in in the preparation of a real scientific collation, which was later eaten with relish. The musical members of the class favored us with selections, after which the party broke up, each one proclaiming Mrs. Tobelman the jolliest of hostesses. 0 EULALIA R. MCFADDEN. ll O I The Fruitful Adventures. of jawn. HERE lived a farmer youth once, Iawn was his go-by, and he was plumb sick of the country. I-le was out-and-out disgusted with the Cofrjnrows and like agricultural appertainences-the sight of a haystaek gave him the willies. Yes, he was in a bad way-wanted adventure. ,Tawn has seriously considered taking up a certain Short Course not many- leagues away, but a friend of his went, and that settled Iawn. This friend, one Carl, son of a neighbor, used to sit by the fire of a cold winters night and trot out wild ones about the Course. You see, lawn was a sickly cuss and he doubted if his constitution would stand the racket. Still, he wanted adventure, and was going to have it if it took a leg. This getting up at four and like inconveniences that formed the woof and Webb of his existence got his goat. A Britftjon by nationality, he feared not the perils that might beset him upon his path, so one day he passed it to Carl on the Q. T. that he was going to weigh anchor and fade. Carl, he was a dead-game sport and just naturally decided that a vacation was due him. They doped it all out and were surprised at the lack of enthusiasm it created when they broke the news to the folks. Iawn's old Cow, Gill by name, hated like poison to sec him go and nearly broke up the seance, but his fond parent came to the fore and reck- oned he could Holt'er'otT until jawn got away with his stunt. All of which goes to show that the aforesaid parent might not have been so fond as was first supposed, and arouses the suspicion that he was dern glad to get rid of him. They lit out. On the road there Cum er Ford, the driver of which seemed a perfect WolFf and a bear-cat for speed, and all but enveloped them in ruin. But the two re- doubtables escaped and raised their yawps in a Howell of protest, a Plat'itude of execra- tion that blistercd the varnish off the back of the miscreant's boat and caused a loud smell of burning rubber for miles around. As the hind tire passed him, Carl strove to Prickett with a bundle of Short Course notes that he had brought along, but found them impossibly dull and pointless in the face of such material opposition. Iawn, in discussing their narrow escape, swore up and clown and sideways that he 'Felt'er whizz past, whereat the bare possibility of such an occurrence caused grave symp- toms of collapse, and they had recourse to a generous hooker of Gordon that Iawn had brought along The generous warmth of this Gordon revived their drooping spirits. lt might be mentioned in passing that the bottle's spirits also drooped considerably, but that is a mere triiie in comparison with the correspondingly augmented hilarity of the two. Between you and me and the lamp-post, they Fostered a strong attachment to that bottle, not only because of its contents, but because of the strong resemblance it bore to others of like description indigenous to a certain farm near South River. Thusly were home ties broken and railroad ties adopted in lieu of a better substitute. Along the railroad they met up with a very low individual, a real dved-in-the-wool hard one, a balky in fact, who, with his Con, antipathy raised in their hearts. Carl led off with his lecture notes and read long and earnestly from them. The balky took it in good spirit at first, but when the poor nut started in with Fertilizers and Market Gardening, he became enraged and peeled his wammus. Atop of this he placed his little portrnlanteau 'full of Graham crackers, and having made it public that he intended to Cook the hero, feathered into him. And Carl's noble spirit bought 'a one-way ticket and took the next ferry across the river. After duly considering the case the jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide. Learning much wisdom from this, Iawn concluded that the world demanded more convincing proofs than theory, and set his face homeward. The sun also set at that precise moment, while ter hum on the farm the old man was setting in a cane bottomed chair working out a set of balanced rations with which to ballast his cows. Iawn had enough in his Craw--forded a stream and pressed deter- minedly into the west. The den.t can be seen there to this day. Vifhen he reached home he intended to give up all thoughts of further adventures and deMand-a square meal. Yes. he got home safelyg the old man fell on his neck and hurt himself, and they had a grand old time. Iawn, he related his trials in detail, and when he had Dun, Can anyone in that family misbelieve? No, indeed, and besides, they don't want to. ,Tawn's some boy, and don't you forget it, ERIC V. Drsnaow. 101 A Reverie As mighty Sol, his journey done, Sinks to repose 'midst blazing hue, A noble Figure shows his form Outlined against the heaven blue. A noble figure, true indeed, Sweet Nature's peaceful, loving son, Whose soul is tarnished not by gold, Whose heart beats free when day is done l see him with his horse and plow Dig deep into the yielding earthg The upturned sods smile up at him, And seem to dance with new-born mirth. The neighboring trees their branches bend And whisper forth a sweet refrain, The birds a throaty carol lend, As peacefully wave the tops of grain. l-le trudges merrily along, As furrow after furrow wide Stretch forth in ceaseless, endless chain Along the sloping mountain-side. They hold for him his future weal, And clean it isp not sprinkled o'er With mortal blood in battle lost Or squandered on Finance's shore. Upon his soul no name is charred Of men who gave their life and God To swell the fortune of their lord. His wealth comes only from the sod. His labor o'er, he journeys home. A simple, country home it is, But joy, Contenment, hover there. The bliss of life is truly his. A goodly housewife at the door Runs forth to meet him with a smile A worthy mate, a purer gem Than many reared 'midst courtly style Two little children cluster 'round And clamber up into his arm, Afire with their childish glee, These healthy products of the farm. A happy lot, fair to behold. Would that I the slaving chain Of city life away could cast, And go back to the farm again. To see the sun from yonder peak Rise up and spread its flaming ray Far o'er the land, and wake to life The ecstacy of new-born Day. To wander out into the field Amidst the honeysuckle vine, To pluck the wild rose from the heath And drink in deep its scent divine, To stroll down by the babbling brook And listen to its murmur sweet, As if to tell me of its joy In music I can not repeat, To sit outside the door at eve And hear the whipoorwill's refrain Sound forth Good Night from out the wood- Oh, I wish I were home again. J. G. D. 102 Closing Exercises H112 closing exercises of the Short Courses were held in Kirkpatrick Chapel on Friday, February 19. Each Division was represented on the program by a student representative elected by popular ballot by the students in each Course. Joseph R. Berdan, of Paterson, N. J., representing the General Agricultural and Dairy Farming Course, selected as his subbject Co-operation as a Factor in Agricultural Development. Addison C. Raws, of Keswick Grove, N. J., representing the Course in Fruit Growing and Mar- ket Gardening, read a very interesting paper entitled Progress of Horticulture in New Jersey. James Duffy, of New York City, in behalf of the P'oultry Section, developed some interesting facts with the subject entitled Possibili- ties of the Poultry Industry in New Jersey. Miss Kathleen Lock, of North Plainfield, N. J., representing the Course in Home Economics, presented a most interesting paper entitled Problems Confronting Home Life on the Farm. The annual banquet of the li. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society was held at the Hotel Klein on Thursday evening preceding the closing exercises. By accepted custom, this banquet constitutes the official recognition of the students in the student section of the E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, eligible for membership by the graduate division of the society, and as usual a very cordial spirit of interest and co-operation prevailed. ' E It was the sentiment of those present that the future of the E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society as an alumni organization was exceedingly bright, and that there was an unusual field of activity for the organization. Students com- pleting the Short Courses in other years have already become important factors in the agricultural activities in their home communities, and if it is possible to unite all students pursuing the Short Courses into one central, active organiza- tion such as the E. B. Voorhees Society represents, there is no doubt but that such an alumni organization would make its influence felt in moldinglpublic opinion, especially as related to the agricultural possibilities and development in this State. 103 i Q9 - r.:--sr ,,,, N X N x E' T7 :1-fi ff 'i ' f ' .ef 'K ' 'Vg- ' -7- b ' aff '-:een .'JEi 3 ft ' VK j f A T- ,, ' 3-- 1 545 rv -, ....

Glover came 'late to the course, but he and his machine fitted in mighty nicely with a certain part of the faculty. Quite an art!

Only the best firms in their respective lines have been solicited for business, and it would be impossible to find a better list of firms with which to deal. We have pledged ourselves to make this advertising pay. Keep this in mind during the coming year and do not fail to mention the Year Book when send- ing inquiries and orders. The students of the Class of 1915 will place enough orders with these firms to repay them well for their investment. The important point is to let them know it, and they will not only feel satisfied with the results this year, but will be ready to renew their contracts for the 1916 Year Book. 110 1 A xi N N Q Nt I 0 Ai I , I K' H A Q I THE SHORTEST AND BEST COURSE T0 PURSUE When Need of a New Suit or overcoat Presents itself is'- THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE TO WOLFSON'S George St. From wherever you happen lo be Larger Varlety-Regular and Unusual Sizes Salisfaelion Guaranteed I GET YOUR TOILET AIDS AT flllonigarfs Everything that the most dis- criminating person could desire can he had in our Toilet Goods Department.

Most of the soil potash will not be axfailable for a thousand years 5 until then it will pay you to use enough potash to feed your crops and prevent the exhaustion of your soil. times as much A grain fertilizer should contain at least 6 per cent. of potash, a corn fertilizer 8 per cent., and potato, fruit, garden and truck fertilizers, 10 per cent. If your dealer does not handle fertilizers of these grades, ask him to order them the next time the salesman calls-or order potash salts so that you can use them to adjust your goods to the right per cent. of potash. To increase the potash 1 per cent, add in each 100 pounds of fertilizer 2 pounds of sulfate or muriate of potash. There is no substitute for potash.

Wt' MADE THE ENGRAVINGS FOR 7777.5 BOOK LJ J Facts About the Agricultural Use of Explosives ILL blasting subsoils increase crop yields? Will trees grow better if the holes are blasted? Can a farmer do his own blasting for these purposes? These are the questions most often asked concerning the newest development in general agri- cultural work and compare favorably with the following: Should a hog have a full ration of corn? Will hens lay in winter? Should a baby have a teething ring? r If a 'soil has good drainage, we do not bother about digging ditches. If there is an abundant supply of lime in the soil, we do not go about tryting to sweeten it further. The object of subsoil blasting for growing either field crops, trees, or bush fruits is to open up the subsoil and increase the areation of the soil, improve the drainage.and thereby increase the absorption of soil moisture and to open new crevices for deeper root penetration. All of these improvements tend to the production of better and more profitable crops. It appears that the soils already well drained, naturally deep tilled and having well granulated subsoils are not those that would be selected for such treatment, so attention is at once directed to those having subsoils more or less troubled with hardpan or im- pacted clay subsoils. The noticeable characteristics of these soils are: The rainfall is held on the surface in puddles or is lost by surface run-off, root penetration is retarded, crops suffer greatly in seasons of drought, and yields are unsatisfactory. The plan to be followed in the correction of such soils so that they may become profit- able, is, first, to get the moisture into the subsoil. This is accomplished by opening cracks into and possibly through the restraining hardpan. If this can be done by ordinary tillage machinery, all well and good, but most of this class of material is found below the reach of even the heaviest plow. Here we have a case where the use of explosives is at once indicated, as no other known method is in reach of the farmer. Well placed blasts will shatter to any desired depth very deep clays and through thinner layers of hardpan, producing drainage courses through definite cracks. This can be determined by a physical examination of the soils, or by the absence of surface water following good blasting. It is well known that the moisture for supporting growing crops during the summer must largely be supplied by the absorbed water of the subsoil on account of the variability of rainfall andthat granulated soils have a greater power of absorption than those not so favored. ' , The most incomplete examination shows conclusively that roots penetrate deeper and grow more luxuriantly in loose than in tight subsoils. The vigor of the top is absolutely governed by the vigor of the root system. A number of agricultural investigators, practical farmers and fruit growers at first accepted the use of explosives for subsoil breaking in an experimental way, but after a few years of practical experience, adopted blasting for all their tree planting. The same was true of blasting for field crops and for the diminution of erosion troubles. Hens will lay in winter if properly cared for, hogs need a good ration of corn when being fattened, and soils are benefited by rational blasting. While explosives must be handled according to certain fixed rules, the work is quite simple and the art of blasting easily mastered. The average farmer can, by a little study and experience, get all the knowledge necessary to undertake these simple kinds of blasting. DuPoN'r Pownma Co. 132
