THE STUDY oF AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture is the basis of our
national progress and prosperity.
While this fact is widely recognized,
yet the study of this most important
of all callings is not placed III the
curriculum of the public schools of
the country. Generations of chill
dren pass through life without ability
to distinguish between wheat and
barley when they see it growing. 1t
seems necessary to be born on farm
TO be acquainted with even the rudi-
ments of agriculture. This is all
wrong. The stu6iea of the school
room should be arranged to meet this
oversight. True, men have become
famous in many ways, whose sole
equipment was furnished in the com
mon schools Of the country, but these
nave yet 20 graduate a scholar who
was ever aided in his life work as Il
farmer by the knowledge acquired in
them. The introduction of sound
text books on agriculture IN rural pub
lie schools would remedy this defect
of the system under which they are
operated. The children OF farmers
have as perfect right to the technical
knowledge of their prospective call
ing, as that such knowledge of things
that at best arc but mere accomplish
ments shall be taught, The tendency
toward the latter is very manifest in
many directions in the studies of the
public schools. 1t is always better to
teach few things that the student
may be fully acquainted with them
rather thau to ovrrwhelm him with {
lot of useless trash that rotard aim il
his lire work For that reason agri
culture should form prominent
future in the studies OF rural public
schools, because of it's future useful
ness to the average attendant at them

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Gi7e the peas q light, rich soil.
Red raspberries should not be given
deep cultivation.
Do not forget parsley seed. A small
package will yield enough to use all
the year.
Many are discarding the pole lima,
and taking up the bush lima bean as
specially.
Young bees are valuable in the
spring, and none should be allowed to
die from carelessness.
Sow celery seed early. 1t is esti-
mated that one ounce of seed will pro-
duce about $500 plants.
Beeswax will be darkened if melted
in an iron vessel 1t is better to use
brass or copper vessels.
The best shipping crates for honey
are of a single tier, and hold from
twelve to twenty-four pounds.
Basswood is light, white, and free
from gumminess. Nothing SO far has
been found to equal it for making
pound sections.
The butter dryer is the self-describ-
ing name of a newly invented machine
that seems to be giving great satisfac-
tion in England.
Never set plants of a poor quality.
Poor seed will make failure, but only
for single year, while poor plants
last over many seasons.
All fruit plants, including trees,
should have a generous supply of fine,
light-colored, fibrous roots, in order
to be of a vigorous and healthy
growth.
For the potato crop sulphate is
! thought to be much better than muri.
ate of potash, for it gives a greater
yield and improves the quality in a
higher degree.
The cucumber should not be set in
open ground until about the middle
of May or until the weather settles, as
it is a very tender annual. Plant in
June or July if you want them for
pickles.
Do not plant potatoes on hard,
poorly plowed soil, for the crop will
be poor, no matter how thorough the
cultivation or how favorable other con-
ditions if the soil is not mellowed
deep enough.
Open the hives only when it is warm
enough for the bees tofiy, and then do
not leave open any longer than neces.
sary. The brood may be chilled, and
Us there is no honey to be gathered,
the bees may take to robbing.
Apiarists cannot BE too particular
about packing. 1t is stated that dis
/ honesty here is as common as among
horticulturists, and that fine white
combs are frequently found next to
the glass, aud the dark in the centre
of the crate.
If about to go into small fruit rails

is sure. Raspberry and currant bushes
should be planted five feet apart each

soldiers In India. SAYS
"A striking fact comes TO us from India IN
reference TO the effect of total abstinence
among soldiers. II was formerly supposed
that Europeans could not endure the climate
and surroundings OF India without using
alcoholic stimuants. SO convinced were
they OF this that thirty years ago there was
an army order prohibiting the formation OF
total abstinence societies among tho soldiers.
But the theory is now altogether changed.
or English soldiers In India 20, 900 are now
total abstainers, and the army reports show
that OF these thousands only fifteen were

afternoon On q warrant charging him
with having committed forgery. Mr..
Tally was taken before Police Justice

wrote the name OF G. e. Price
The witness further stated that Mr.

1t Was All Right

Fashionable New York restaurants
would drive a Bowery proprietor to sui
eide with their apparently lax and reck-
less business methods 1t is tho desire
of well known resorts to save their pa
irons from all annoyances and embar-
easements. An absentminded man,
shortly after he became engaged to be
married, invited his fiancee, her married
sister and party to the theater and
afterward to supper. He ordered an ex-
tromcly good supper and was feeling
rather proud Of the result when it &C.
CURED to him that he might have come
away from his homo without any money.
A hurried examination showed that this
was just what he had done Now, no
man likes to play the fool before the
woman who has recently promised to
marry him, and this man Immediately
felt "panicky." He left the room in
ratified" condition to make a clean
breast of tho affair to the cashier. When
he reached the desk, the cashier said to
him before he could give word Of ex-
plantations: Nov, know just what you
are going to say. You have forgotten
your pocketbook. Don't think about it
for second. 1t is all right" The
absentminded man went back to his
guests with a suddenly improved appe-
tite for supper. New York Tribune

wives on their husbands funeral pyre.
The fact is, we were obliged to intro
duce that measure to prevent our wives
from poisoning u.s." This is beautiful
side light OH the condition of things in

ways, for it not only reveals the cum
ming of bad men for their own safety,
but shows the sort of husbands they
must BIO whom wives would poison if
the penalty were not to be burnt alivel

was so, for we were heading toward q
broad sheet of water that was thickly
dotted with whito caps We were soon
far enough ont to feel the full force Of
the gallo that stung our faces with wind
and spray. To go against such wind
with n bark canoe would be an utter
impossibility, but to run with it was
great fun. Our safety depended upon
the skill of the steersman in keeping her

IMPROVING ON NATURE.
From Japan Comes New Method OF MAX
ing Furs Ready to Wear


Ing Furs Ready to Wear.
A Japanese gentleman has perfected
new process for furs, called the fur
transferring process, by which the ordi-
nary skin is entirely removed, the fur
alone remaining each individual hair
being attached to n flexible fabric. Tho
advantages claimed for this process are
that tho furs are much softer and moro
pliable than ordinary skins, that they
are entirely free from any unpleasant
odor, and SO far from being injured from
being wetted they can DO washed in hot
water and dried like blankets. It Is also
said that the fur will not como out by
use, as the hairs hold much closer than
when implanted in the original skin.
All kinds of fur can DO thus transferred
from tho skin on which they grew on to
a close and durable fabric.
The method Of this transfer Is at first
sight rather difficult to grasp. It is OBJ
vtous that each individual hair cannot
be transferred singly, but that the whole
must be done ut once. The nature Of the
process, however, may DO very easily
indicated. The original skin, from what
ever animal it may have been obtained,
Is placed with the fur downward, In
contact with the an adhesive surface
to which tho hairs become 80 strongly
attached that the skin may be laid hold
Of and absolutely torn or stripped away,
leaving the fur attached to tho cement,
and SO perfectly is this accomplished that
the skins themselves are capable Of be-
ing utilized for leather
The next step Of tho process is the
covering of the roots with another adho-
sivo material, by which they arc CO.
mented to close woven fabric. Thus
it will be seen that tho external portion
of tho fur is tightly held by tho first CO.
ment to which 1t wns attached, while
the roots of the hairs arc closely cement
ed to tho fabric which has been placed
upon them. In the process of lnanufac-
turc all that is now necessary is to loos-
en- tho attachment of the hairs to the
cement Oh which they were first placed,
when the whole of tho fur in its original
position is obtained, only cementod to
the flexible fabric III lieu of tho original
skin.
Tho result is undoubtedly most sue
cessful. 1t is difficult to imagine q soft
er fur than that which is obtained. =
