Textile Building Burns. The textile building at A. & M. Col lege was destroyed by fire early a few mornings ago, the total loss being es timated at $80,000. A little less than half of this being covered by insur ance. The flames were discovered in the southwest corner of the third floor at 3 o'clock and the alarm given with the college whistle. As quickly as pos slbie the students had three streams on the flames from the college hose, but the conflagration had gained such ht4wP that they were powerless. PROPAGATING SWEET Sweet Potato Slips in a Cold Types of Sweet Potato Leaves A, Vlneless. B, Benson. Sweet potatoes are propagated by means of what are called "slips." A slip is a sprout which develops from the invisible buds or eyes- on the sur face of the sweet potato. The tuber is capable of producing a large num ber of slips. While the common method of propagating sweet potatoes Is by means of these slips, they can FEEDING COTTON-SEED MEAL Result of Tests Made at Arkansas Ex periment Station Animals Are Affected Differently. The experiments were undertaken mainly to test the effects of various methods of treatment of cotton-eeed meal in removing or lessening the toxic action of this feed, write R. R. Dinwiddle and A. K. Short, Arkansas Station. Also to learn if any bud stance was removed from cotton-seed meal by simple methods of extraction with aqueous and acid solvents, or by cooking, which would produce in ani mals symptoms comparable with those produced by the untreated meal in corresponding amounts. ;.' - It was found, in one trial, that "fer mentation" or decomposition of 'cotton-seed meal for 48 bours at a tem perature of 20 to 28 degrees Centi grade did hot. lessen its, toxic action when fed to pigs. - - Cotton-seed meal, from which 2 per cent more of fat had been removed by extraction with gasoline, showed no diminution of toxicity. In two trials it was found that cold aqueous extraction removed from cotton-seed meal no substance which could be shown to be toxic for pigs. The extract ' similarly obtained by dilute hydrochloric acid proved non toxic in one 'trial. In a second test a temporary sickness occurred in one animal the identity of which with cotton-seed poisoning was not established. The fluid strained from cotton-seed meal, after prolonged steaming, caused death with symptoms and post-mOrtem changes of cotton-seed poisoning in one case. This fluid, however, was not a clear solution of matters extracted from the meal, but contained much material in suspension. The meal it self, after such cooking and separation of the fluid, also proved toxic. In young cattle (fattening steers) symptoms of poisoning appeared after a consumption of cotton-seed meal (along with hulls) equal to from 75 to 108 per cent, of the body weight. The anatomical lesion of cotton-seed pois oning of cattle is an interstitial ker atitis which may end in complete blindness. . . In hogs there is a degeneration of the muscular tissue of the heart and of the parenchyma of the liver and kidneys, with extreme passive conges tion of all the viscera and fluid effusion into the serous cavities, especially the pleura. Hogs which have recovered and gained their thrift did not -show,, after slaughter, any microscopic changes in these organs. It may be noted finally that the ill effects resulting from the feeding of cotton-seed may be due to a prolonged absorption of poisonous products gen erated in the digestive tract by decom position or putrefactive changes pe culiar to this feed. The problem, how ever, has not yet been approached from this point of view. Introducing New Hogs. When the new stock sow or boar is received at the farm, put it by itself for a month or six weeks at least If at that time it seems perfectly healthy, and has been improved in flesh, it ia safe to put if with the other stock. This is a safe preventive of the in troduction of disease on the farm. POTATO -BY "SLIPS'! i Frame, Read)' to Be Pulled. also be propagated from cuttings. The cuttings are usually taken from the slips which have been planted in the field and which have made a growth of four to ten inches?. These cuttings are taken off and either rooted in a favorable place or may - be trans planted at once into the field. In order to get the slips it is neces sary to bed out the tubers. The com mon method of bedding out. the sweet potatoes is in a cold frame or hot bed. It has been found by many that on the whole better results are obtained from the cold frame than from the hot bed. In the bottom of a cold frame a layer of sweet potatoes i3 placed and cov ered over with sand or very sandy soil to a depth of two or three inches. This is then watered well and a glazed cold frame sash is placed over the frame. Occasional sprinkling will be necessary to keep the soil moist dur ing the time the potatoes are sprout ing. Immediately after the first crop of slips is taken off,, the sweet potato bed must be sprlnKSed over thorough ly and if any of the tubers have be come exposed they must be covered over. . In ten -or fifteen days another crop of slips is ready for transplant ing. After the second crop of slips. Is taken off, the sweet potato bed must be treated s before. From three , to five crops of Blips may be taken off if care is taken of the bed. The general practice is to plant in ridges from three and a half to four feet apart and transplant in the rows from 15 to 18 Inches apart DERIVE BENEFIT FROM PEAS Growing Leguminous and Non-Leguminous Plants Together Adds Higher Content of Protein. It has long been known that some plants are benefited and Borne are injured by association. Association seem3 to be especially beneficial in case of leguminous, plants (peas, clover, etc.) and cereals or grasses. Recent investigations throw new light on the reasons for this beneficial ef fect. It appears that the leguminous plants not only gather nitrogen from the atmosphere by means of their root-tubercle bacteria and are there fore able to make a large growth, but that .some of the nitrogen so gathered is passed on to the grain, grass, or other non-leguminous plant associated with it. . -C The result is a larger growth of the non-legume and also a higher content Excellent Length of Vine on a Crop Grown In Marinette County, Wis consin. of protein, or nitrogenous material, which considerably increases its value as food for stock. . Such benefit has been noted from the growth of clover and timothy,, alfalfa and timothy, and oats and peas. Other combinations have not been studied.. The increased growth of plants in combination over that of single crops, together with the improved composition of the former, has resulted in some cases in an in crease of more than 30 per cent in the production of .protein per acre. . This increased value probably extends to the roots and stems left in. the'1 soil and means much in the production of food for stock' and In soil -improvement - -- Absorbs Poisonous .Fumes. .

The Perfected Captain Br REV. JAMES M. CRAY, D. D. Dean of Moddjr Bible Imtitut Chicago TEXT "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things. In bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through- sufferings." Hebrews 2:10. - : . ; ... In tbe preced ing verse it is dot clared that Jesus Christ tasted death for every man, "for," the epistle says. "it for all by all became him, are and are whom things, whom things." In other words, it became God the Father, "in bringing many sons unto glory to make the cap tain of their sal vation perfect through sufferings." To bring sons to glory is God's great purpose in Jesus Christ The words "sons" should be emphasized, for God first must call men to be sons, and after that bring them to glory even as the epistle to the Romans says: "If sons, then heirs." By nature men are not God's sons in this" sense, but be come so by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit through faith In Jesus Christ Have you experienced this mighty' and vital change? For they only have the hope of glory who thus receive the spirit of adoption whereby they can cry, "Abba, Father." When the text speaks of Jesus Christ as the captain of our salvation, a comparison is drawn between him and Joshua, who was the captain of the hosts of Israel in their entrance into Canaan. He was to lead them into their inheritance under the Abrahamic covenant, but Jesus Christ leads us Into our inheritance under the gospel. In the former case only they perished in the wilderness ' who either out of love unto the flesh pots of Egypt, or through terror at the hardships of the way refused to go up under their lead er's command. And so in the case of those who through faith have become sons of God, there is no doubt of ulti mate victory in the following of Jesus Christ. Christ's Dedication. Our captain was dedicated to his work through sufferings, for that is the meaning of "perfect" In the text It was often used among the heathen to signify the initiation of a man into the mysteries of their religion in order to become a leader of others in the same religion. Sometimes these rites were accompanied by much pain, and the inspired writer employs the figure to illustrate the sufferings of our Lord. These sufferings were of two kinds. His life sufferings and his death sufferings. In life he ' suffered for righteousness' sake, that is through sympathy with man, but great as this was, it "was very different from his death sufferings. These were the hid ing of his Father's face and the awful darkness of Calvary when he bore our guilt upon the accursed, tree. To some extent we may sympathize with him in his life sufferings, but who can know anything- of his death suffer ings? As one says, "man can paint the cursed tree, but who can paint the curse of the Lord that made it so? Man mayy describe the soldier's , spear, but not' the cup of wrath he drained to the last drop." And how the mystery deepens as we read that it became God to do this. It was not only right and proper, but it behooved him to employ this meth od in bringing many sons into glory. He could not do differently and accom plish it, because of the desert of sin and the unchangeableness of his jus tice. He might have suffered all men to perish in their sins, but once hav ing, in love, determined to redeem them, there was no other way in which it could be righteously carried but. Truth failed, and as Isaiah, says: "The Lord saw it, and is displeased him that there was no judgment. Arid he ; saw that v there was no man, and. wondered that there was no inter cessor; therefore his arm brought sal; vatlon unto him; and his righteous ness, it sustained him." Isaiah 59: 15, 16. - .. . What Inference Follows. .If it became.God to adopt this plan to save us, who are we to question its wisdom or necessity? Who' are we to hesitate in bringing our convictions and .. conduct into harmony with ' his" great purpose? And if the object God had was to bring sons to glory should we not ' earnestly inquire'" if we are sons? It'is" said of Jesus Christ in John's gospel (1:12) that, "as many as received him to them gave he; au thority to become the sons of God." Have we. received him? Does he by his blessed Spirit dwell within and rule us? . J-et ns not take this for' granted; let us be assured of it by the testimony of the Word of God and the answer of our experience. Know- the true value of time, watch,( seize and enjoy every moment of it No idleness, no laziness, no procrasti nations; never put off . till tomorrow what yon can do today.
