TEACH HORTICULTURE

In the Public Schools, Is the Sug-
gestiOn of an Observer Abroad.
Writing on the above subject, Prof. j.
l.. Budd, of the Iowa Agricultural col
lege, writes to the Farm, Field and
StOckman as follows:
In the summer of 1862 had fine OPP
portunity for observing the working OF
this system in Austria and Prussia.
Every school yard had its flower beds
and its specimens of neatly trained
fruit trees, ornamental trees and
shrubs. And majority of them had
the little nursery where the students
were given object lessons in budding,
grating. and even marching. In the
way of marching very many OF the
school yards had cherry tree with
very lOw-trained head. Each spring
the students had little holiday 1Or
gathering specimen seedlings OF the ma
tive wild cherry from the hedge row or
the hills. These were planted by the
students, under the direction OF the
teacher. in circle on the boundary OF
the outer limbs of the cherry tree. Az
the proper season for marching, stu
dents are detailed in the presence of
the class to bend down twigs of the
overhanging cherry and march them Oh
the stems of the plants below, and to
properly cover the wounds. AT the
proper time the class is again asseme-
bled to cut the connections with the
parent tree, and to remove the plants to
the little nursery to make room for an
other crop, In the lessons the element
ary principles and the modes and meth
ods are given for all the simpler opera
tiOns of the fruit, vegetable and flower
garden. TO those lacking experience
all this might seem a great him
drance to advancement in the or
dinary school studies. But those who
have some experience in teaching these
elementary principles in the Kinder
garten schools and in our agricultural
colleges know that such variations are
aids rather than hindrances to general
advancement.
1t has been said that our Yankee
school children would destroy the flow
er beds and climb the young trees and
shrubs.
With twelve years. experience with
from two to three hundred students
among the flower beds. the shrubbery
plantations. the small fruit plantations,
and the orchards, have never as yet
known of any of this American ten
dency to vandalism where the students
were taught the uses of such things,
and that ''the value of all horticultural
operations was as the thought put in
them"
At the great horticultural college in
North Silesia met over one hundred of
the public school teachers who were
taking lessons with view to more per-
feet fitness for their work. and was as
sured that the students took too much
interest in their pet flowers, shrubs,
trees, ETC., to injure them.
In this country our few kindergarten
teachers will, think, give the same as
surances.
At our Iowa Institutes the question
has been asked, "How shall we manage
to keep our boys and girls on the
farm?'
My experience leads me to the belief
that they should be interested at school
and at home in the reasons for all the
modes and methods which tend to make
home beautiful and pleasant. The boy
who acts as machine at school and in
his home duties will naturally be at
tracted by the sights, hustle and activ-
ity of the mining camp or the city.

LARGE HORSES.
Points in Favor of the Breeding
of Heavy Draft Horses.

Points in Favor of the Breeding
of Heavy Draft Horses.
An Ohio correspondent of the Ameri-
can StOckman, writing of small horses
for farmers says: "Small horses have
served their day and generation so
far as the farmer is concerned.
The country is overrun with
them, especially the farmers small
trotter which is usually sired by some
stallion of local celebrity and out of the
farmers old mare which is or has been
a 'peeler." The country is full of small
stations whose owners are continually
crying down large horses. AS one of
them recently said to the writer, of lit
weigh 900. HE can kill any ClYdesdale
tell the farmers that their mares are too
small to breed to large horse: that
they will not be able to foal the colt on
account of its large size: and all
the other bugbears they can
think of. AS an extra inducement
they will insure a better colt
for less money than MIR. So-and-so, who
had taken the risk of putting from 81 500
to $1,000 in good, well-bred coach or
draft horse. The remedy for this is for
farmers to keep away entirely from
these so-called trotters, and begin with
such mares as they have. for the writer
is farmer and has no personal axe to
grind.
To improve the size and breeding of
our farm horses, the improvement
will be at no time so evident as in the
very first colt. No, fellow farmers, let
us begin to weed out those inferior
horses and breed a good sized, noble
animal. Then, when he is old enough
for market, he will bring good round
price any time you wish to sell,
and that, without hiring Jockey to
drive him at a big price, besides paying
out a large amount of money for fancy
shoeing and toggery to put OH his feet
and legs, usually amounting to more
than the horse will bring in the end.
Let us breed the horse that we can be
proud of, and that brings no sorrow on
account Of the mortgage on the farm.
The racehOrse is the product of an es-
tablishment far beyond the common
farmers purse, and it is rather doubt
full question if the speed there acquired
is of any practical value further than
to show what the horse is capable of
doing and for sporting purposes.

winter wheat states were not SO alarming as
they were few days ago.

this morning and prices were steady at the

from the sample table stuff were less lhap

Contrary to custom Of late there was no
rush for milling wheat at the opening. In
fact, sellers had as much difficulty in dispos-
ing Of their grain as they have had at any
time during the week. Buyers looked over
the samples some at the start, but for the

sellers to show their samples. Some sales

ago. adulturation poisoned over fifty per
cent of the milk sold in st. Paul and
Minneapolis. To-day the percentage OF
adulteration has been reduced to the
the minimum OF one per cent. IN st.
Paul. The percentage is little higher
In Minneapolis, owing to the difficulty
experienced by tie commission in Sc
curing the conviction OF offenders. At
one time, the annals of the district
court of the Flour City were crowded
with cases in which defendants were
charged with the adulteratiOn OF
milk, but all this has been
remedied, recent enactment of the
legislature. placing these cases under the
jurisdiction of the municipal court.
Having purged the state of impure milk,
the dairy commission began active Op-
Grations against polluted butter. A
severe war was ragged against OleOmar-
gerine. During the fall and winter of
lSS4-5 there were 100000 pounds OF
oleomargerne shipped into the state and
sold to dealers and customers. The
amount now sold is only few thou
sand pounds. which is clandeStinely
bought by dealers in the lumber dis
tricts. With the prohibition of the sale
of ole0margerine. pure butter has in
creased in price from 20 to 80 per cent,
beside the increase in demand which
has been even greater than the increase
in price.

BINDING GRAIN

Costs More Than 1t Did Without
Machinery, Says the Des Moines
Register.
Binding machinery never fully met the
bill. This was more especially the case
in the care OF oats than of wheat. Oats
cut little green or wet. if bound up in
that condition, are almost sure to
mould, which renders them use
less for one of the great
demands on that grain for oatmeal. In
fact. mouldy oats are virtually useless
for any purpose. as they are partially
poison to the horse. The genius of ar
lists must devise an improvement for
cutting and binding oats. 1t will not do
to let oats become dead ripe and dry be-
fore cutting. as the straw cripples and
the crop is lost so soon as it is in a con-
dition to bind safely.
With present improvements, including
self-binders, twine, etc., it costs more to
harvest grain than it did fifty years ago.
Machinery ought to cheaper the opera
ton, instead Of making it more ex-
pensive. Fifty years ago grain
could, and was cut, bound and
shocked for so cents per acre. At
present it costs nearly three times that
amount. There is some grumbling at
threshing unbound grain, but ma
chinery must be made to meet such
emergencies, and the crops Of the coun-
try must be harvested for less than the
crop will sell for at the railroad station.

IVES ON WAR PATH,

IVES ON WAR PATH.
With so satisfactory record, Dairy
Commissioner Ives is preparing for an
other crusade, and this time he will
tackle the adul,erations of foods and
liquors. At first it was thought desirable
that the scope of the commission should
be extended to include foods and drugs,
as laws of similar character are
now in operation in the states of Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New
Jersey, and Ohio. Owing to the great
howl of the late legislature in the direc-
ton of retrenchment and reform, it was
impossible to obtain sufficient appro-
priation to carry out the food adultera-
ton war in its entirety, and Mr.. Ives,
believing that half a loaf was bet
ter than no bread, drew up and
had introduced bill prohibiting the
lard and liquors. The bill passed and
will become a law Aug. /. The sum Of
$4,000 annually was appropriated for the
enforcement of the law, and active
preparations are being made to put it
into effect. Dairy Commissioner Ives
is now in the East, and Chemist Eber-
man has just returned from New York
and Boston, procuring the apparatus
necessary for the laboratory to carry on
the work of inspection and analysis.
The chemical and physical apparatus
necessary for analyZatiOn, as we'll as in
spection, can only be procured in two or
three places in this country. and the
most important is obtained at New York
and Boston. 1t was of paramount i'm
portance that the latest approved meth
DDS of analyZation should be
brought into force. For instance, man.
.ufacturers of vinegar in this state
as well as in other states, are big with
the idea that there is but one method by
which vinegar ought to be tested, and
that is by the acidometer. They are,
therefore. very much exercised as to the
method Chemist Eberman will adopt.
and in reply to the question he said,
''The commission have concluded that
they will not waive the simpler methods
of analyzation, which are only prelim-
mary, but they will direct determina-
carry out the full letter of the law, and
ascertain the percentage of acetic acid,
also the amount of solids inside of vim
egar."
The usual methods will also be
adopted in the analysis of baking pow
der ard lard. Rigorous inspection will
be made into the purity of all liquors,
and attention Wilt be paid as to the de-
ceptions used as to the age of the liquor
and the country from whence it is said
to be imported. Liquors and brandies
are found to contain large quantities Of
fusel oil, and in beer there are preserv-
Rtives that are not only detrimental to
health, but are fraud upon the con-
sumner. All these will receive the i'm.
mediate attention Of the commission,
and, with the opening 0f August,
saloonkeepers may anticipate warm
time. The only people who have kicked
against this adulteration law are the
manufacturers Of baking powder,
who bring into use mixture of
alum. The sale of baking powder
containing alum is not prohibited, but
it is provided that all packages contain
tanning the baking powder shall dis
tinGtly state that alum is mixed there
with. The manufacturers are loudly
crying ost against this, land have threat

being uniform getter of colts resem-
bling himself; for, having impure blood
in his veins, his get may resemble his
maternal ancestors more than his
paternal, and while he would unques-
tiOnably get some good colts, they
would not be uniform )Ot, and the
farmer breeding his mares to such
sire could not be sure that he would be
the lucky man in this equine lottery.
On the other hand. it will not do to
breed a horse just becOuse he has
good pedigree, but insist that he be
born a good individual of his breed and
also to show that he is pure blood.
If this line of policy is followed there
farmer can engage with better show of
being handsomely paid for his labor.

punishment if he attempts to enforce
the law against them. But the old gem
tleman is determined not to be thwarted
in his effort to carry out the spirit of
the law, and says the baking powder
manufacturers may howl and threaten
as they please.
The operation of the law will be
watched with close interest. That there
is here wide and productive field for
the inspector and analyst no one can
deny. and with increased work and re-
sponsibility the officials of the dairy and
food comWission may look forward to
high cid time.
