"The Agriculture" Now Out Full of
Good Things for Students as
Well as Farmers.
The October Issue of The Agricul
ture, a magazine published by the
Nebraska University agriculture stu
dents, and devoted to agricultural
progress, is full of good things.
In this number Prof. J. R. Cooper
tells of the necessity of disinfectants
and covers for wounds on fruit tree3.
A fruit grower may gain much valu
able Information from this article,
which explains how to treat these
wounds the process of sterilization
and materials used so that the tree

Boyd Rist, U. of N. '16, in his arti
cle entitled "Distribution of Gro
ceries," gives some interesting sta
tistics with regard to the number of
groceries in Lincoln In proportion to
the people, bow these groceries are
supported and their expenditures.
The fanners of the state may ga's
some very helpful suggestions from
R- O. Smith's discussion of the appli
cation of plant physiology to agricul
ture. He says that a farmer should
understand plant physiology Just as
he does animal breeding. Inasmuch as
profitable stock raising depends ab
solutely on the crops raised.

districts, shocking the "cows and

carries his arms at his side in case of
emergency. Many of these intrepid
athletes have penerrated the country
for a distance of five or six miles, and
all report that they have noticed signs

existed almost to the outskirts of Om

crosses the Missouri river. However,
he is known to be a radical fellow,
much inclined to exaggerate.
