Experiment  Station. 

As  director  of  the  Experiment  Sta 
tion  I  most  cordially 
invite  the  Al 
umni  and  visitors  to  the  college  dur 
ing commencement  week  to  visit  the 
station  grounds  and  note  the  interest 
ing  experiments  that  are  going  for 
ward. 
I  assume  that  you  will  stroll 
down  the  lane  and  go  east  on  the 
drive  immediately  south  of  the  grain 
barn.  Note  the  varieties  of  beets  to 
your  left,  and  the  luxuriant  growth 
of  clover  to  your  right.  You  will 
remember,  from  your  student  days, 
that  the  soil  upon  which  the  clover 
is  growing  is  about  as  poor  as  could 
be  found  anywhere  within  the  state 
or  outside  of  it.  This  clover  was 
sown  two years  ago, alone  and  with 
out  nurse  crop.  Beyond  the  clover 
you  will  see  the  stubble  of  the  sand 
lucern.  This  plot  has  borne  three 
last  year  and  one 
heavy  cuttings 
already 
that 
the  soil  is  a  blowing  sand.  Across 
the  drive  to  the  left  note  this  same 
sand  lucern  being  pastured.  N o te

Fragments  of  Meteorology. 

Dr.  Kedzie  was  just 

finishing  his 
lecture  on  meteorology,  speaking  of 
of  the  cold  waves  and  the  blizzards 
of  the  North  West,  when  he  spoke 
of  visiting  a  little  cottage  on 
the 
Northern  Pacific  where  he  found  a 
quiet  little  lady  from  Jackson,  Mich., 
whose  husband  was  an  engineer  on 
the  railroad,  his  wife  holding  the 
homestead  by  personal 
residence, 
hoping  to  secure  a  farm  and  home 
on  the  wide prairie.  Noticing  a  rope 
the  kitchen  door  to 
stretched  from 
the  stable,  she  was  asked  "clothes 
" O h,  no;  blizzard  line,  so

that  when 
the  blizzard  comes  we 
may  safely  feel  our  way  to the  stable, 
and  be  sure  to  find  our  way  to  the 
house  without  danger  of  being  lost

THE  CORRECTED  VISION.

" A nd  the  Lord  opened  the  eyes  of 

the  young  man,  and he  saw." 

"Alas, 

T he  prophet's servant,  young,  ath 
letic,  powerful,  is quaking  with  fear 
at  the  demonstration  of the city  sur 
rounding  host of  horses  and  chariots, 
but  the experience  seasoned  prophet  . 
is  serenely  self  composed. 
my  master!  how  shall  we do," ex 
claimed  the excited  and enemy  fear 
ing  attendant.  "If  you  could  only 
see  the  mountains"  is  the  sage re 
joinder,  "you  would  know  that  they 
that  be with  us  are  more  than  they 
that  be  with-  them."  T he  young 
man  had not noticed  the  mountains; 
he  turns  towards  them  his big start 
led  eyes. 
"Lord,  open  his  eyes," 
prays  the  prophet.  Swift  as  light 
ning  the  answer  comes.  He  looks 
and  behold,  the  mountain  is  full of 
horses  and  chariots  of  fire.  His  vis 
ion  is  once  for  all  corrected  ;  his 
terror  in  presence  of  apparent and 
hostile  majorities  is  becalmed,  and 
faith,  grasping 
from 
the  quaking  hand  of  fear,  rules  in 
creasingly  the  willing  empire  of his 
soul. 

the  sceptre 

T he  corrected  vision  is  the  great 
present  day  necessity,  for while  it is 
easy  to see  the hostile  chariots  about 
the  city,  it  is  growingly  essential  to 
see  the  friendly  ones  on  the  moun 
tains! 

terrific 

Youth  needs  the corrected  vision ! 
Some  of  the  modern  pictures  of 
youth  would  scare  a  Sphinx.  Youth 
is  presented  as  a 
fight; 
hlood  and  gore,  surgeons  and  am 
bulances  are  its  characteristics, or 
it  is  a  Serbonian  bog,  whose  treach 
footing  has  betrayed  multi 
erous 
tudes  of  careless,  pleasure 
seek 
ing  travelers;  or it is a gay  holiday, 
with  music  and  dance,  with  flowers 
and  ribbons,  to  which  care,  pru 
dence,  restraint  can make  no contri 
bution!  W h at  caricatures! 

Youth  is no bloody  fight,  Serbon 
ian  bog or  careless  holiday!  Y ou 
cannot  see it clearly  and  see  it whole, 
this  republic  of  youth,  simply  by 

resolution,  daring 

looking  at  its cities  with  their  dazz 
ling  and  fascinating  temptations;  you 
must  lift  up  your  eyes  to its  mount 
ains;  they  are  filled  with  horses and 
chariots  of  fire!  great  ambitions, he 
roic 
aspiration; 
these  are the  names of the  charioteers 
who  rein  these  mountain  steeds, and 
who  will  drive  with  the  fury  of a 
Jehu,  to  any beleaguered  youth w ho 
them  will  beckon!  As he 
seeing 
sees  them 
towards  him, his 
youth  is  transformed;  it  becomes  a 
glory-filled  opportunity,  a  tremend 
ous  chance! 

start 

T he  man of  work  needs  the  cor 
rected  vision.  Multitudes  cannot  see 
anything  in work  but sweat  and  ex 
haustion;  they  toil  terribly  to get rid 
of  toil,  and  all  the  while  become 
more  disgusted  with  their  common 
task. 

"If  you do not take  your  work  like 
medicine,"  said  a  sage,  " it  will  not 
nauseate  y o u ."  A h!  there  is  the 
secret  of  contented  endeavor;  make 
your  work  a  meal  to  nourish  you 
and  not a  medicine  to nauseate  you! 
W h en  one  sees  that  work  is charac 
ter,  discipline, that  even  if it depletes 
the  physical,  it  can  supply  mental 
delight  and  spiritual  freedom, 
then 
it  assumes  a dignity  which  gives  it a 
standing  in the  courts  of a  man's ex 
perience.  T he  corrected  vision  is 
his.  No  longer  does  he  sigh  over 
his  sweat-starting  toil;  he sings. 

T he  patriots  need  the  corrected 
vision!  W h at  is America? 
Is it a 
mine  to  be  worked  solely  for  the 
benefit  of the shareholders?  A  farm 
to  be  tilled  in the interest of  its  own 
ers? 
Is  it  a  commercial  venture? 
W h at  has become  of  those  mighty 
principles,  liberty,  fraternity,  equal 
ity  ?  A re  they  no 
longer  worth 
keeping?  Shall  they  be  consigned 
to  the  rubbish  heap? 
It  takes  the 
corrected  vision 
to  see  the  real 
America.  Y ou  cannot  discover  it 
by  looking  through  spectacles  made 
of  gold  dollars! 

Nothing  can  so  certainly  disrupt 
our  republic  as  little  visions  of na 
tional  advantage;  nothing  so surely 
saves  it as great  Pisgah  sights  of sac 
rifice,  service  and  g l o r y / of  national 
opportunity  and responsibility.  O h! 
if  every  citizen  were  a  mountain 
looker!

T he  religious 

life  needs  the cor 
rected  vision.  These  are  days  of 
shift  and  drift;  old  forms  are  dis 
credited;  new  ones  are  not  thor 
oughly  accepted. 
People  see the 
ragged  edges of  faith,  and  forgetting

is  a  man's  normal  attitude 
towards 
his  father,  God.  It  is  an  affair  of 
the  soul;  it can  "cling  to faith  beyond 
the  forms  of  faith;"  it is the  prime 
requisite  of  every 
life. 
God  cannot  be shut  out of  this  uni 
verse  either  by  stone-blindness  or  by 
poor  logic!  He  lives  there  still!  He 
will  come  to  those  willing  in His 
light  to  see  light.  Religion  means 
a  corrected  vision,  for is  it not writ 
ten,  "Blessed  are the pure  in  heart, 
for  they  shall  see  God!" 
-  Y o u ng  men and  young  women 
find  your 
lives;  get  the  corrected 
vision.

See  your  youth,  your  work,  your

Getting  On In T he  World. 

BY  J  H.  S K I N N E R, 

' O I,  OF  T HE  H E S P E R I AN 

SOCIETY. 

W h at  is  success? 

Is  it  a  reality 
or  a  fancy  ?  W h at  is it that  so many 
desire  and strive  for, yet  seldom  at 
tain?  This  is a question  which  has 
been  asked  by all  the  past  and  which 
the  present  continues 
inquire 
about. 

to 

Leaving  off a bad habit  for a  good 
one  is  getting  on  in the world;  to 
be  clean  and  tidy  instead  of  dirty 
and  disorderly  is  getting  o n;  to 
work  as diligently  in the employer's 
absence  as in his presence  is  getting 
on. 
In  short  when  you see any  one 
properly  attentive  to his  duties,  per 
severing  through  difficulties,  to make 
such  acquisitions  as  shall  be of use 
to  himself  and  others,  offering  a 
good  example  to those  around  him, 
you  may be  sure  that  he is  getting 
on  in the world. 

It  is  common  to  hear  men com 
plain  that  the chances  of  success  les 
sen  every  day,  that  every  avenue of 
business  is over-crowded;  and unless 
a  man be  a  perfect  Hercules  he  is 
elbowed  out  of  the  w ay  and  pre 
vented  from  " g e t t i ng  o n"  in  life, 
to  languish  in obscurity  and  pine  in 
neglect,  to grow  old before  his  time 
and  die  at 
test  of  disappointment 
and  heartsickness.  T he  complaint 
as a general  thing  is false  and  foolish, 
and  the evil  is in the  complainer  and 
not  in  society.  Men  often  miscal 
culate  their  own  powers, and  mistake 
their 
line.  A  knowledge  of  our 
own  capacities,  a  fixed  and  steady 
aim;  in  short,  steadiness  of  purpose 
and  consistent  effort,  are the condi 
tions of success  and  almost  invariably 
command  it. 

Do  not  be  discouraged  if, in the 
outset  of  life,  things  do  not  go  on 
It  seldom  happens  that 
smoothly. 
the  hopes  we cherish  for  the  future 
are  realized.  T he  path  of  life  ap 
pears  smooth  and  level,  but  when 
we  come  to travel  it, we  find  it all 
uphill,  and generally  rough  enough. 
T he  journey  is a  laborious  one; and 
whether  poor  or  wealthy,  high  or 
low,  we shall  find  it so to our disap 
pointment,  if  we have  built  on any 
other  calculation.  To endure  it  with 
as  much  cheerfulness  as possible  and 
to  elbow  our way  through  the great 
crowd,  hoping  for little,  yet striving 
for  much  is perhaps  the  best  plan. 

Do  not  be  discouraged^  if  oc 
casionally  you slip  down  by the  way 
and  your  neighbors  tread  upon  vou, 
or  in other  words  do not  let a  failure 
or  two  dishearten you. 

Numbers  of  farmers  have 

left 
their  farms  and  gone  to  the  city as 
it  was  difficult  for  them  to  make  a 
living  on  the  farm;  and  I  have 
heard  students  time  and again  scorn 
the  idea  of a  farmer  being  educated 
for  his profession. 

in  well 

T he  idea  must  be  done  away  with, 
that  there  is something  intellectually 
degrading  in cultivating  the  soil.  If 
that  its 
education  be  of  such  kind 
results  may  appear 
filled 
corn  cribs,  in  heaped  up potato  bins, 
in  better  shelter  for stock;  in a  more 
judicious 
selection  of  animals  for 
breeding  purposes,  in the more  per 
fect  adaptability  of  food 
to  the 
animal,  in better  butter  and more of 
it,  it cannot  fail  to be of  incalculable 
value  to the  farmer. 

T h e re  is  a quiet  about  the life of 
a  farmer  and  the hope  of  a  serene 
old  age  that  no  other  business  or 
profession  can  promise.  A  profes 
sional  man  is  doomed  sometime  to 
feel  that  his powers  are w a n i n g;  he 
to  see  younger  and 
is  doomed 

stronger  men pass  him in  the  race 
of 
life.  He  will  be  last  where 
once  he was  first.  But the  farmer 
into  partnership 
goes  as  it  were 
with  nature;  he lives  with  trees and 
flowers;  he  breathes  the sweet  air 
of  the field.  There  is  no constant 
frightful  strain  upon  his  mind;  his 
nights  are  filled  with  sleep  and rest. 
After  all,  what  is success?  E v e ry 
one  ought  to  desire  to  succeed  in 
this  life.  To have  succeeded  is  the 
greatest  of  life's  consolations;  to 
have  made  a failure  of  life  is  more 
than  anything  we 
to  be regretted 
can  conceive  of.  To  amass  a  for 
tune  is a success  in a  certain  sense; 
that  is, it is success in amassing  a  for 
tune,  but although  there  is a  certain 
amount  of  credit  attached  to  this, 
ultimate  success 
another 
is  quite 
thing. 
It  is  in  every  man's  power 
to  live  a  life  of  integrity  and  honor, 
speak  words  of  cheer  to  the down 
hearted,  help  remove  obstacles  from 
the  path  of  the weak;  instill  in  the 
minds  of  those  around  him a  desire 
to.  live  pure  and  upright 
lives.  Is 
not  then  success  the peace  of  mind 
impulses 
which  springs  from  right 
and  which  promises  a serene  future? 
A  life  so  lived 
that  when  we  are 
done  it  may be  said,  ''  Well  done, 
good  and faithful  servant;  thou  hast 
been  faithful  over  a  few things,  I 
thee  ruler  over  many 
will  make 
things,  enter 
into  the  joy  of 
thy  Lord."

Dr.  William  E.  Quine,  dean  of 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur 
geons  of  Chicago,  says: 
" E x p e r 
ience  has  taught  us 
that  college 
athletics  have  a  demoralizing  and 
disturbing  influence  on  the  students 
and 
interfere  with  the  educational 
work  of  the  college.  We  do not 
deny  that  athletics  are  of  beneficial 
influence  on  the  physical  develop 
ment  of the young,  but the interests 
of  education  demand  first  recogni 
tion."

Mr.  J o hn  L.  Shawver,  of  Bell-
fontaine,  O.,  w ho  is  here  superin 
tending  the  erection  of the  new  farm 
barn, 
last

the  plank  frame,  of  which  he  is the 
originator. 
In  his  lecture  he  estim 
ated  the  cost  of  material  for  a  plank 
frame,  as  compared  with 
the  old 
fashioned  mortise  and  tenon  frame, 
as  fifty  p e r c e n t, 
less;  the  cost  of 
erecting  the  same  as  more  than  fifty 
per  cent.  less.  He  cited  an  instance 
of  a  barn,  36 x  100  feet,  the  cost  of 
which,  from  estimates  of the old style 
builders, would  have been $4,000, but 
was  built  with  a  plank  frame  for  a 
little 
than  $1,900.  T he  new
