SCHOOL ROOM PROVIDED
Pico Heights Children Can Resume
Their Studies Today

In spite of the destruction of the Pico
Heights school, the children of the peo-
pie residing in that district are not to
be deprived of school privileges. Today
the school will reopen in improvised
school rooms, which have been provid-
ed through the activity of the new mem
ber of the school board Mr.. Kubach,
and Superintendent of Buildings Charl-
ton. Immediately after the fire Presi-
dent Davis of the board of education
called a special meeting of that body to
provide a place for school in that part
of the city. The matter was left to Mr..
Kubach, as chairman of the building
committee; Mr.. Charlton and Superin-
tendent Foshay. The activity of these
gentlemen has resulted in the boards
securing places where the scholars can
continue their studies. Two rooms have
been secured in Pico Heights church
and two others in store rooms near by.
The rooms are so near to each other
that Prof Yoder can have supervision
over all without much inconvenience
The only loss of time to the scholars has
been Thursday afternoon, the day of the
fire, and all day Friday. AS soon as the
insurance on the school building is ad-
5usted new building will be erected.

MARKETING BUTTER.

Best Time to Sell Is as Soon as the
Product Is Ready.
The question often arises with dairv
farmers who make and market their
own butter, shall sell or hold for high
err prices? Butter depreciates from the
moment it is made till it is consumed,
under ordinary farm conditions; and is
always liable to fluctuations in price,
which are as often against the holder
as in his favor, and he is always losing
the interest on its value as long as he
holds it. Holding for a higher price
is one form of speculation-a business
farmers have no occasion to indulge in.
1t is true rise in property may some
times be foreseen, making it pretty safe
TO hold for time, but when dairyman
would not think it wise or safe to buy
butter or cheese to hold for better
price, he had better not hold his own.
The fact that it turns out that he hight
have done better by holding than by
selling, when his goods are first ready
for market, is not sufficient reason
for his holding at another time, for the
chances will as often be against him,
and whichever way it is, he must al
ways endure the losses from injury,
shrinl1age, depreciation, waste and use
Of capital. Therefore, as rule, we say
it is most prudent to sell always when
products are ready for market, and most
especially SO with butter, which is al
ways suffering from depreciation in
quality.-Rural World.

WOOlpeckers Are HelDful.

There is no longer the prejudice
which used to exist against the wood
pecker as the destroyer of valuable
trees, which it used to be believed he
pecked so as to start the sap to flow
ing. The work he does is almost al
ways on dead wood, and he only pecks
holes in that to find the insect that has
deadened the wood and if allowed to
live would ultimately destroy the tree.
There is no more valuable insect de-
stroyer than the woodpecker. It is
one of the few birds that stay with us
all winter, and it's cheerful pecking
can be heard in almost any woodland
at this season. The only complaint we
ever heard against the woodpecker is
that he destroys early cherries. But
he has earned his part of the cherries
by previously destroying the insect en-
emies that would have killed the tree.

Apples Cannot Be Cooked.

A peculiar feature of the apples
grown in this section the last season
is that they will not cook properly.
Many a housewife has been surprised
that the best varieties of cooking APP
pies cannot be cooked as usual. They
are tough and stringy and when sliced
for cooking retain their shape, no mat
ter how long they may be kept on the
stove, instead of ''cooking to pieces
as they should. Grocers and apple
men have been flooded with complaints
about the apples they sell. The unusual
condition of the fruit, explained an old
apple grower and handler the other
day, is due to the dry weather that came
just when the fruit was filing and ma
turing.-Kansas City Journal.

Monument to the POTATO.

A curious monument has just been
discovered in the dense underground
of the so-called Brandhai, in the Upper
Hartz. 1t is granite block about seven
feet high, resting on a stone pedestal,
and on an iron tablet attached to it is
the following inscription ':Here, in
the year 1747, the first trials were made
with the cultivation of the potato" The
German peasant at the time did not
take kindly to the potato plant on it's
introduction to the country. It had,
however, great friend in the king,
Frederick H., who was convinced of
its value, but who was obliged to use
forcible measures to get the people of
Pemerania and Silesia to plant it. The
action of the Hartzers in voluntarily
adopting the plant was evidently
thought worthy of a memorial, says the
Sunday Companion.

Hint for Potato Grower..

AS the potato is so largely water it
might be supposed that it is not at all
exhaustive. But the potato crop is al
ways sold from the land instead of be-
ing fed on it. The only thing that the
potato" takes from the soil is potash,
and this is largely found in its leaves
and stems. The tubers also contain
some potash, and it is this which black
ems the knives and hands of those who
peel and cut potatoes. A large crop
OF potatoes, it is estimated, will take
100 pounds of potash an acre from the
soil. The best potato growers practice
a system of rotating grain and pota-
toes, and in this way keep up the fer
tility without much dificulty.-Dakota

THE FARMING WORLD.
TREATMENT OF COWS.
How to Secure Satisfactory Result.
In Farm Dairying.


in Farm DairyinH.
From an article written by George
Sampson, of the Sharon (Wis.) Report
er, we take the following:
'The functions of the COW are to take
your coarse fodder and grain and man
ufacture them into milk. Providing
she is so fed that she can sustain her
body and in, addition produce milk at a
profit, she is good COW. You know
there are any number of cows that do
not pay for their keeping, but in this
age of progress we can ascertain be-
You'd shadow of doubt whether or not
COW is profitable dairy COW.
There arc three things you must con-
slider: 1, the quantity of milk given; 2,
the quality-by the Babcock test; 3, the
length of the period of lactation.
AFTER having succeeded in establish
ing herd of good dairy COWS comes
the important part of taking proper
care of them. Mich cows must have a
variety of feed, as no one kind of feed
contains all the different elements
which both sustain the body and pro-
duce the milk. We will see later what
milk is composed of, and you will un-
derstand why she must have a variety
Of feed.
do not feed your cows before milk
ing. So many do this in order that the
COW shall stand better during the proc
ess of milking. You will ask why =?
Most OF the milk is secreted during the
process of milking and the COW must
use her blood in the udder. If she is
eating, this blood rushes to her stomach
in order to carry the nutriment to the
different parts of the body, and the con-
sequence is that there is a lack of blood
in the udder to produce the best results.
Extreme care must be taken not to feed
anything that will flavor milk just be-
fore milking, as it will then pass into
the milk, but feed directly after milk
ing"

Cream for the Churn

Have your cream for churning all in
one vessel; when two or more are used
the cream will not ripen evenly, and
the churning will not be satisfactory,
as the butter will not come all alike.
The day before churning have all your
cream in the vat, and place your vat in
q box two or three inches larger, which
will hold water. In the evening (if the
weather is cold) put a starter in your
cream, and warm it by putting warm
water in the box; be careful not to
have the water too hot, or the cream will
cook on the sides of the vat. Stir fire.
quently, and warm up to 70; the water
may be 80. In the morning your cream
will be just right for thee hurn, by the
time the .'gude mon' is through with
his milking. -.'+

Cider is quite as dangerous beverage

Mulching of the strawberry bed,

1t is of no use to expect to make sue
cess of house plants if the temperature
varies from freezing to 70 degrees.
Blighted leaves or branches on the

Every farm should have an acre of
orchard, 40 apple trees, and 60 divided
between pears, peaches, plums and
cherries, says horticulturist.

has an apple in his pocket to offer you,

Replacing worn-Out Trees.

When there are vacancies in old or
'chards to be filed with young trees,
take wagon to the spot where the
tree has died and shovel out load Of
dirt, removing all of the old roots, and
then fill the place with good, fresh sur
face dirt from another field and set
out the young trees. This is the quick
est and cheapest method of replacing.
It takes many years for the roots of q
dead apple tree to decay, and the acid
to leave the earth sufficient to warrant
the growth Of the second cutting, and
young tree planted in the same soil
where an old one has fallen will not

He carried big load of brooms, and as he
zigzaged along the sidewalk with his burden

Then he ascended flight of steps and was
hailed by the woman next door.
'You can't sell any brooms there. The
woman in that house never buys at the
door,"
He rang the bell and waited. Sure enough
the woman of the house opened the door, and
when she saw the broom vender she was
about to close it again.

II know it," said the man: ''The woman

"She did, did she? Perhaps Pm as able to
