College Professor Had Something to
Learn Concerning the Changed
Order of Things.
President Melkeljohn of Amherst
was talking about the changed finan
cial conditions that now prevail.
"I heard the other day," he said, "of
1 harassed college professor who, In
order to make ends meet, decided to
take up manual labor.
"So ho visited a large building op
eration and said, nervously, to a red
faced man with a diamond horseshoe
In his necktie:
'"I nm ahem an ox-collego pro
fessor, and I would like to hn6w If
you could take me on here as brick
layer?" "The red-faced man gave a derisive
nnorr.
" 'Bricklayer? I guess not !' lie said
We might start you In as an architect,
though, and let you work your way
up.' "

Twice as Sore.
At a recent club entertainment an ad
mission foe of 50 cents was charged.
The entertainment, to some minds, was
not worth the price and several women
were not backward in saying so.
"It made me mighty sore to bo
charged CO cents for that performance,"
one objector said.
"Oh, you got off easy," remarked an
other. "I understand the chulrman of
the affair wanted to charge $1 admls

MOVEMEHT TO STANDARDIZE
Department of Agriculture Plans to
Secure Uniform National Usage
of Terms Indispensable in
Agricultural Work. ,
(Prepared by the United States Depart
tnont of Agriculture)
A great many tonus In common uso
In agricultural discussions have never
found a place in the dictionaries. So
widely used and Important a term as
"vitamin" has not yet found Its way
Into the principal unabridged diction
aries. For the public, therefore, there
exists no approved spelling, no ap
proved pronunciation, and no approv
ed definition of the name of a thing
that is vital to all living things.
Terms Not Recognized.
There are scores of terms. Indis
pensable In agricultural wilting or
speaking, thnt have not been recog
nized by the lexicographers, and
there are quite as many new usages
of established words. "Blood line,"
n term commonly used in discussions
of breeding, is not in the dictionaries.
Nobody knows whether) It Is one word,
two words, or a hyphenated word.
"Overrun," n term widely used to ex
press the thing that Is practically tho
determining factor of profits in cream
ery establishments, Is unknown to tho
dictionaries "Standardbred," "trap
nest," and any number of other com
monly used terms, understood well
enough by agriculturists, remain un
defined for the accurate Information
of the general public.
To Standardize Terms.
The United States department of
agriculture, through the Joint efforts
of the bureau of animal Industry mid
the division of publications, lias begun
a movement to standardize the uso of
such terms, and about .10 of them aro
on the griddle now. Three points of
view are taken that of the Held man
who knows the common usage of tho
layman, that of the scientist who has
the view point of tho specialist, mid
the point of view that looks merely to
the use of goon English. Each word
Is submitted to the. various classes of
persons Interested, together with tho
proposed usage and the authority or
lack of authority for It. From tho
suggestions received In reply, the final
ly approved usage will be determined.
The first agricultural term to ho
acted upon In the manner descrlht'd
was "corn belt." That was consider
ed more appropriate than corn-belt or
cornbelt.
Although tho principal purpose Is to
establish approved usage for depart
ment of agriculture publications, lists
of terms ovolvod will, be furnished
later to dictionary editors with tho
view of obtaining uniform national
usage. The co-operation of agricul
tural experts and editors Is Invited.
ALFALFA IS FERTILITY AID
Where Crop Can Be Grown Success
fully It Excels All Other Hay
Crops In Yield.
Thirty years ago alfalfa was quite a
stranger in Wisconsin, hut Its Intro
duction nnd dissemination have gone
on at a rapid pace until about 00,000
acres of this great forage are now
grown In the state.
"Alfalfa growing Is popular In Wis
consin," declares It. A. Mooro and I
I Graber In a free bulletin Just Is
sued by the experiment station at
Madison. "Whero alfalfa can bo
grown successfully. It excels all oth
ei hay crops In yield to the ncre. feed
ing value, drought resistance, soil en
richment, and weed eradication."
Trials conducted on the Wisconsin
experiment station farm at Madison
show that alfalfa gives yields practi
cally double that of clover hay and
tlree times as much as timothy. An
aero of alfalfa produced In a single
season three times as much protein as
an acre of clover and nine times as
much as an ncre of timothy.
COVER BROKEN WINDOW PANE

Unnecessary Delay Muslin or

When a window glass becomes

It Ik hut the work of n few minutes
to tack over the hole n thick piece of

light. If muslin Is not handy, paper
can be used. This Is, of course, only
a makeshift until one can get the
glass needed.

MANURING IN COLD WEATHER
Particularly Advisable to Make Appll

due University.
The Purdue university extension do
partment particularly advises applica
tion of manure In winter when It con
tains a great amount of straw and un
decomposed matter. The loss of plant
food because of the leaching of the
manure will he offset hy the advan
tages of winter application. As far
possible coarser manures should bo
applied to the bo.avler clay soils, since
these will respond In fertility and will

Growth on Corn Silage arid
