| Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country but
long established in Germany is the
school excursion. Indeed while to the
uninitated this measure may be re-
Carded as no less than revolutionary,
it is nevertheless true that excursions
from two TO three weeks In duration
We're undertaken by Salzmann with
the pupils of his school at SchTcpfen-
thai in Thuringin, when Washington
was president of the United States.
Since the close of last century, the
school excursion, in one form or an
other. has been growing in popularity
in Germany. and to-day it forms n
regular feature of perhaps the major
;ty of tl,c elementary schools of that
country.
The school excursion offers 'ba most
favorable opportunity for Introducing
the child into many branches Of know
ledge. for the reason that. by means
of outings, the pupil may he brought
in direct contact with various phases
of nature and the works of man And,
indeed, the locality is exceptionally
unfayorahlc where an abundance of
material may not be found for instruct
ing the child in geography. history
and the natural sciences. In Germany
is recognized as Il distinct branch of
KNOWLEDGE. known as die Hcimaths-
kuude Glome-oloEy), and as such is
included in the curriculum of the first
three years of the elementary schools.

Tho Paying of Phyicians.

The incomes of professional men
can be discussed only in an approxi-
mate way. AS the amount of money
earned is considered by the public as
measure of appreciation of services
rendered. there is n strong tendency
to stretch the imagination in the direc-
ton of what should bc. rather than
what actually is, Physicians form no
exception to this rule The average
annual income of a physician in full
practice in large city may be stated
as $4,000, and in the smaller towns
and in strictly rural districts $1,000.
Two or three physicians in New Yorl,
make over 100000 each year; five or
six range from $4,000 to 100000;
fifty from So. 900 TO $4,000; 150 from
$4,000 to $4,000; about 800 from S..
600 to $4,000; 1.500 from $1,000 to S3,-
900, and the remainder from $500 to

NEW FODDER PLANT.
South Dakota Farmer Has Perfected IL
from Indian Corn.

II. G. Allen, who lives nine miles
southeast of Millette, South Dakota
has succeeded in producing ner'
kind of corn. which is good for moth
ing but fodder. but MS fodder crop
1t has no superior.
About three years ago Mr.. Allca
found monstrosity growing in his
field. He guarded it and when il
rlpened he saved the seed Last yca-
he planted it and the seed grew re
markably well, but as the stalks grew
many of them "sported' TO corn. al.
though raising no ears. This placed
the origin of the freak of uature be-
yond n doubt as being n sport" OF
corn. This year Mr.. Allen planted
about u quarter of an acre and there
We're very few sports in the field
which makes 1t certain that the new
variety of corn is here to stay.
1t is hard to describe the new va
riety. ms it does not seem to resemble
anything growing in this part of til"
country. The stalks are about two
thirds the size of corn stalks, hrnvily
leaved, and grow to Il height of three
feet. In place of an ear n shoot IL

which looks like oat husks and thf

the stems. The pods. or oat husks, In
the tassel, are about one inch in length
and each contains only one berry-tlic
seed-which is red when ripe and re-
sembles kernel of popcorn. This year
Mr.. Allen cut about half of his crop
of fodder, allowing the balance 10

which he cut, 1t weighed n triflc over
LOO pounds. This would make IL
yield of nearly seven tons to the acre.
AS this has been Il dry year in Dako-
tn. the yield is considered light and no
doubt in favorable season the fodder
would make nine tons TO the acre Its
phenomenal yield lies in the fact that
the plant puts out all the foliage there
is room for. MIR. Allen planted the
seeds this year eighteen inches apart
each way. and the foliage is so heavy
that the field appears TO he one solid
mat of growth, standing about tire,,
feet In height. The introduction of
this fodder may revolutionize stock
raising in the northwest and may he
