Nicknames are oftener Inspired
by affection tban by aversion. “Th e

variably nicknamed. Venerable citizens
still refer to “ Abe” Lincoln, dwelling
w ith reminiscent affection upon the
abbreviation. Nicknames both good
and bad are as old as history. In the

Many o f us can look back twenty
years to the time when untrained men
were at the head o f agricultural in

colleges. These men bad to be employ

could be found.
One man wbo rose to be the chief

To-day we are getting the result o f
the past twenty years o f training in
the agricultural schools and tbelr de
pendencies. the dairy schools. The men
at the head o f the departments to-day
are vastly superior In training to the
men that occupied the same positions
twenty years ago. They have not only
learned all that their instructors knew,
but have dug up other facts snd have
assimilated the new facts dug out by
other people lo all parts o f the world.
But where there were few positions
to be filled twenty years ago, there are
