cause it is small, for it may be one of the
most necessary schools in the country.
The Superintendent of New York City
schools recommends the consolidation of
small city schools With larger ones, on
the plea of economy, but it is possible to
economize too much for the good of the
pupils so consolidated. Msssing large
numbers of children in one building is
good for the pockets of the taxpayers,
but bad for the brains and characters of
the children. 1t is possible to save the

rooms into one, but st what an expense

Make the Experiment.

We clip the following from the Home
and Farm. Suppose some of our farmers
try it in small way and report the result.
The statement is originally from an ex-
change:
The Ohio experiment station has made
some interesting experiments showing
the effect Of removing tassels from corn.
They were made to test the theory that if
the tassels were removed from corn before
they have produced pollen-pollen being
an exhaustive process-the strength thus
saved to the plant would be turned to the
ovsries and larger amount of grain be
produced.
From each alternate row of plot of
corn the tassels we're removed as soon as
they appeared. Briefly, the result of the
experiment Was that the number of good
ears and the weight of merchantable corn
we're both little more than so per cent.
greater on the rows from which the tas-
sells were removed than on the others.
This is subject of profound impor-
tance. Tt is theory that can be easily
tested. Try it on small patch of corn
first. Remove the tassels from each al
ternate row and see what the effect will
