I found him sitting in an easy chair, facing the in a picturesque room southwest where the Connecticut valley, having the Berkshire hills as its background, is at his constant disposal. The mantle was covered with many telegrams and letters which later were shown they came from all over the country. Talking with him I noticed he is mentally alert as he always has been; and physically he has improved much lately and he told me that he has a voracious appetite - which . he has difficulty _ controlling when he goes to the table three times a day regularly; Mr. Baker added that Dr. Beal has the best :appetite in the family. to me, and I found In the course of our conversation, Dr. Beal discussed the matter of education and told me he agrees with Dr. Eliot of Harvard, who is one year younger than he and writes so much about education. Dr. Beal had him as his teacher in chemistry and thought Dr. Eliot was a fairly good teacher but proved to be an ex cellent administrator and writer. Dr. Beal seems to be keeping up with times and believes in the rejuvenescence as well as Dr. Staly Hall. the _ that I can walk out-of-doors when "I have a big stick, a walking stick I mean, the so Spring comes and look over some weeds," he said earnestly, and I was struck with his in terest in his subject., _ • Dr. Beal is a man of sincerity and inspira tion.

The dates upon which tickets may be purchased to Lansing when a certificate obtained at the time of purchasing the ticket will entitle the bearer to half fare on the return trip are June 12 to 18.

The reduced rate applies to the tickets purchased at a distance from Lansing which calls for a fare of 67 cents or more one way. Previous commencements have found more than 250 members of the M. A.

It is possible that more territory will be included in the reduction than has already been allowed. that The Chicago Tribune reprints an editorial from The Breeders' Gazette in which the plat form for an agricultural state as outlined by Dean H.

His system of principles as given before the farm ers' week crowd at the university includes the following: the "Some of important changes that we need in Illinois systems of farming a r e: First, a very large increase in the acreage of legumes, such as clover, sweet and common, alfalfa, soybeans, and cowpeas; second, more general introduction of live stock; third, a greater use and the more general development of the minor farm enterprises, both to increase the farm in living; come and fourth, lands on which farming is not profitable; and, fifth, the development, where practicable, of systems of farming in harmony with local demands." to raise the standard to forests of the planting of Members of the Detroit M.
