KIDIAIIA FARMERS AnEIIDIIIGPUROUE Two Thousand Tillers of Soil and Wives Taking the Short Course.

( Palladium Special.) LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 8. With nearly two thousand Indiana farmers and their wives in attendance, the Purdue Short Course, held annually by the Purdue University School of Agriculture, commenced its sessions this morning. The attendance is a recordbreaking one, former years having registered seldom more than a thousand persons. This is undoubtedly due to the multitudinous agricultural attractions arranged for the week, which include the annual sessions of the Indiana Live Stock Breeders' association, Wool Growers' association, State Dairy association, the annual corn shows and sessions of the Indiana Corn Growers' association, addresses by such prominent lecturers as President Stone, of Purdue; Prof. W. I). Henderson, of the University of Michi

gan, and Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones, of Auburndale, Wisconsin. The Short Course students began arriving yesterday afternoon, and comfortable quarters for the week had been assigned everyone long before the opening classes. The registration of students in the office of Dean J. H. Skinner shows that nearly every county in the state has contributed to the enormous crowd. Judging of Stock. Stock judging formed an interesting feature of the live stock work of the opening session. The choice hogs of the Purdue Experiment station and the school of agriculture were scored by the Purdue experts and the students shown the proper methods of judging and the points necessary to the makeup of good stock. Judging of corn occupied the entire afternoon for the Soils and Crops department registrant;, and in this connection it Is interesting to note that the supply of coin supplied for scoring by Indiana growers is of a much better quslity this year than heretofore, due to the persistent educational work of the Corn Growers' association and the Purudue agricultural extension department, both under the direction of Prof. G. I. Christie. The anous Purdue lecturers covered a vast variety of subjects in their cpening addrefcspg. but none was probably so pertinent in its application to

Indiana farmers as that by Prof. C. G. Woodbury, of the horticultural department, on "The Horticultural Awakening." Prof. Woodbury, it will be remembered, figured prominently in the annals of the recent apple show at Indianapolis by bis advocacy of Indiana as the "Leading apple state of

I the middle West."

Interest is Awake. "The interest in apple growing," said Prof. Woodbury, "is waking up. There are probably 100 people in Indiana at the present time who are taking good care of their orchards where there were but three or four less than five years ago. There are 500 who are expressing intelligent interest, due to

jthe application of scientific methods, j where there were but 25 a few years ago. No longer do Indiana farmers tn- ; vest their money in the fabulous ori.toFio i-i f tha Wait OTirl Vrrth Wt

for they have learned that, with the freight rates considered, the Indiana orchards offer even greater possibili-

ties for profit. This has been true for j a long time, but the awakening is but a recent one. Horticulture is really a j conEervatlon movement and those who 1 devote their time to the improvement

of soil conditions' and a study of climatic effects, know that Indiana offers facilities for growing nearly every fruit of the temperance zone. "This means for the grower of fruits that if he will use up to date methods

and thus produce a fruit free from blemish, he can make a profit of $230 per car more than his western brother, can sell his fruit much more quickly, and, if he so desires, at a considerable reduction in price.

LOCAL MINISTERS ELECTED OFFICERS Semi-annual election of officers occupied the attention of local pastors when they gathered at the Y. M. C. A. this morning for the regular meeting of the Richmond Ministerial association. Following are the men chosen to head the organization for the next six months: Rev. Truman C. Ken worthy, president ; Rev. H. S. James, vice president; Rev. E. G. Howard, secretary and treasurer. It was reported that

many Richmond churches were clos- j ! ed or services held tn the basements !

yesterday, owing to the inability to 1

get the edifices warm.

(National News Association) HATTERAS. N. C, Jan. 8. The long arm of the wireless reached out over the Atlantic today to bring succor to

the torpedo destroyer Terry which is completely disabled off Cape Hatterns

with a crew of four officers and 80 men aboard. The heavy sea following the gale that caught the Terry indicated that the diminutive craft was in extreme peril. Her engines were entirely out of commission and after her first messages of distress had been sent out the huge seas rendered her wireless outfit useless. Heroic exertions were made to keep her head to the seas as it was realized the moment she swng into the trough of the giant waves she would be engulfed. Wireless messages received at the station here said that the cruiser Salem, the transport Prairie and the battleship South Carolina, were rushing to

the Terry's aid under full steam and that the seas were being combed with messages from the big wireless tower at the Washington navy yard, directing all the other vessels of the eighth torpedo division, of which the Terry is a member, to proceed immediately to her assistance. News that her sister warcraft were rushing to her " assistance was conveyed to the Terry by the steamship Tagus of the Royal steam packet com

pany, which sighted the torpedo boat destroyer's distress signal and stood by her, receiving the answering signals from the other warships and transmitting them to the Terry by the flag code. The Tagus steamed away when her commander, Lieut. John C. Fremont signalled that he would be able to hold out until the scout steamers came to his aid. The Terry plunged ber nose into a terrific gale almost as soon as she left Hampton Roads for the run to Guantanamo. The northwest gale grew to hurricane proportions as she proceeded dow n the coast and she was tossed about like a cork, finally becoming disabled and helpless off here.

Essence of Good Cooking. The essence of good cooking lies tn four things the ability to preserve, develop, improve and vary the flavor of foods. The French excel particularly in the art of varying the flavor. A small piece of meat suffices them to make a whole not of vegetables redolent of it Conversely, they use all sorts of vegetables to Impart their uniquo flavor to meats in soups, stews, sauces and the water in which meat or fish Is boiled. The combinations and variations are endless. An English epicure declares that the secret of the excellence of French cookery lies in the lavish use made of vegetables. "Where we use one kind French cooks use twenty." Century.
