NEWS NOTES. 



Wm. Elliott & Sons' plant auction 

 sales start for the season at noon on 

 March 17, St. Patrick's Day, at 201 

 Fulton street. New York. The genial 

 spring warmth which the emerald holi- 

 day is presumed to usher in makes 

 it an ideal opening date for this time- 

 honored occasion for which the popu- 

 lar interlocutor. W. J. Elliott, has been 

 industriously polishing up his vocal 

 chords for some time back. May he 

 have a numerous and liberal au- 

 dience. 



The Agricultural Guild of the Uni- 

 versity of Chicago has been formed. 

 Its aim is "to supplement without du- 

 plioatin,;; the work of the agricultural 



colleges by giving the practical train- 

 ing which their limited equipment and 

 different purpose prevent them from 

 providing." At first ten farms will be 

 included in the plan, each highly spe- 

 cialized, and students will be trans- 

 ferred from one to another. A three 

 years' course of training is planned. 

 Students are recompensed for their 

 service and a satisfactory completion 

 of the course is rewarded with a diplo- 

 ma and $200.
