Practical Education Few people who have not visited a modern agricultural college real ize how much equipment is requir ed to give practical education; to provide actual, daily practice in the art of Butter making, Cheese making, lee Cream making, Milk Testing, Preparation of Starters and the more scientific work of Testing, which the modern cream eryman must do. The Dairy Hus bandry Department of the Pennsyl vania State College is buying the milk and cream from 2.5 farms, within hauling distance of the Col lege. This material sold, in the various dairy products, for £7<> 000 this year which was paid to tin farmers after deducting the neces sary expense of manufacture. This large amount of milk and cream makes it possible at any time of the year to furnish material for class work, cream for practice with factory size churns; milk for seper ation with hand or factory size separators; cream for ice cream making, eight or ten ice cream freezers going at a time; milk for cheese making while the milk from a grade Guernsey herd owned by the College is bottled and retailed in the town. Not only is there an adequate supply of material but the Collage laboratories contain all the latest machinery with which to practice and the instructors are men who, when the students are not in the laboratory, can take right hold and turn out a thousand pound churn ing of butter, a batch of ice cream or a vat of cheese. Young men who are now earning a laborer's income with their hands and want to increase their earning power by training thflir heads to direct their hands in more skilled work may find a Winter Course at the Pennsylvania State College Dairy School, which opens Decem lx;r 4 and closes February 28, an easy way to add from fiive to ten dollars a month to their income the first year, and it may be the step ping stone to a posision that would pay from 8900 to SISOO a year, as he acquires experience and skill in his chosen work. Any of our readers may secure complete information relative to this or the Farm Dairy Course, to be given at the same time, from Professor H. E. Van Norman, State College, Pa.

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTh Two Opinions With Respect to a False Statement Minister Admits He Made. A curiously Interesting question o! ethics has arisen over the fuilure o! a minister to secure employment foi an erring but repentant woman unti he told prospective employers thai she was a woman of good character He had often been on the point of get ting for her the work she needed ir order to make an honest living and t( regain the moral equilibrium whicl had been disturbed by her wrongdoing But as soon as the minister, in hi: devotion to the strict letter of tin truth, admitted that the woman hue sinned, the doors of honest living wert closed in her face, the "unco' good' people who were in a position to lenc a helping hand refusing to run the risl of "contamination," unwilling to fol low the example of Him who said tt another erring woman: "Go and sli no more." Now a rather lively local dlscussioi has arisen as to whether the ministei was Justified under the circumstances or whether anybody is ever justlflec under any circumstances, In telling ; lie. Perhaps few will deny that It thif minister reaHy lied at all he strninet the truth in a good cause and that th« imposition practiced upon those whe refused to give to another the chance of reform which they themselves would have welcomed In their OWE cases was intended to serve a human* purpose. All who are inclined to tnk< an ultra conservative view of the In vlolablllty of truth might ponder th< splen* Id words of Dickens when h« wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that h« die' only good to another human be ing: "There are some falsehoods, Tom oil which men mount, us on brlgH wings, to heaven. Th«re are truths cold, bitter, taunting truths, that binr men down to earth. Who would not rather have to fan him in his dylnf hour the lightest feather of a false hood such as thine, than all the quill: plucked from the sharp porcupine revengeful truth, since Time began?' —Kansas City Journal.

"What's that goto do with it?' asked the ped. "Everything to do with It," answer ed the judge, "and nobody gets th« S6O till they do." —London Tit-Bits. Mother Kangaroo's Bravery. During a severe drought in a cer tain section of Australia, the owner o! a country station was sitting one eve nlng on the porch when he saw t kangaroo lingering about, alternated approaching and retiring from tlx house, as if half In doubt and feat what to do. At length she approached the wa ter pails, and, taking a young one from her porch, held It to the watei to drink. While her baby was satisfying Its thirst, the mother was quivering all over with apprehension, for she was but a few feet from the porch wher« one of her foeß was watching her. The baby having finished drinking it was replaced in the pouch and the old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace The spectator was so much Impress ed by the astonishing bravery of th« affectionate mother that he made s vow—and kept It—never again tt shoot a kangaroo.

The latter have been ascribed to overtldes, produced by the modification of tidal waves running ashore and resembling the overtones of musical sounds. Diamonds In a Rat's Nost.
