Dickens and the Children.

Writing in The Century on Charles
Dickens interest in the cause of educa-
ton, Mr.. James L. Hughes says:
He was the first great English stu
dent of Froebel. He deals with 10 diff
ferent schools in his books He gives
more attention to the training of child
hood than any other novelist or any
other educator except Froebel. He was
one of the first Englishmen to demand
national control Of education, even in
private schools, and the thorough train
ing of all teachers. He exposed 4 types
of COERCION and did more than any one
else to lead Christian men and women
to treat children humanely. Every book
he wrote except two is rich in educa-
tional thought. He took the most adj
vanced position on every phase of mod
efn educational thought except manual
training When he is thoroughly an
derstood, he will be recognized as the
Froebel of England.

ST. Distaf's Day.

The 7th of January, which follows
Twelfth day, was in old times jokingly
called ST. Distaff's day because the
spinning was supposed to be resumed,
says the Baltimore Sun.
The plowmen, who were not so will
ing to resume their occupations as the
women were theirs, used to set the flax
on fire, in consequence of which the
women would throw pals of water up
on them.
In early days ladies of high degree,
as well as farmers wives and daugh-
tiers, were accustomed to handle the dis
taft and spindle, and the latter were
the emblems of womanhood. The fol
lowing little stanza is appropriate to
the season:
Partly work and partly play
You must work on ST. Distaff's day.
From the pillow soon free your team,
Then come home and fother them.
If the maids a-spinning go,
Burn the fax and fire the tow.
Bring in pals of water then;
Let the maids bewash the men;
Give ST. Distaff all the right.

tits an interesting fact not generally
known, that the farm, first laid out
and planted under the keen, calm,
discerning eye which could as quickly
read the possibilities of a piece of
ground as the hidden meaning of a
state paper, still nearly supports
Mount Vernon. Dairy and farm pro :
ducts are daily shipped to the cities of
Washington and Alexandria, and cut
flowers from the conservatory, a re-
cent and successful enterprise to
greater distances-slips and shoots
have even been sent to France. This is
in the true Washingtonian spirit of
economy. If anything could have
pleased the General more than to be
told that after his death the home
he had loved would be tenderly cared
for and cherished as a memorial to
him by the people he had loved even
better, it would have been to know
further that the place would be finan-
cially self supporting. -Demorest.

WARNING no DAIR YMEN.

It having come to the knowledge of
the Vermont Dairyman's Association
that in various sections Of Vermont
parties known as "creamery promo
ters'' have been contracting with
farmers for expensive creamery
agreed upon has been far in excess of
the requirements of the business; that
in some sections such plants have.been
contracted for where there is not
sufficient milk produced to pay the
expense of operating creamery. We
hereby desire to call the attention of
the farmers of Vermont to the fact
in other states the said creamery
promoters" have operated in man
ner similar to the plan introduced
into this state; that this work has re-
suited to the great injury Of the dairy
interests and to large financial loss
to stockholders in such organizations.
We would, therefore, caution and
lation to the matter, and call atten-
ton to the fact that wherever cream
cry is needed we have plenty of
responsible dairy supply houses in
this and other states that are entitled
to confidence, where the quality of
supplies furnished and prices charg-
ed for the same entities them to the
confidence and patronage of the
dairymen. We earnestly advise that
contracts for creamery plants do not
be placed with unknown persons.

That the sheep industry pays, and
would pay the farmers in Vermont
much more than it does now, if they
would give more attention to the
matter, is shown by the following
which we clip from the Sheep Breeder
of Chicago: The highest price at Chi
cago for '98 lambs was $40 in June.
Top prices by months from January
to December were: $500, $500, $500,
5000, SIS so, $40, $6.75, $500, Sc. 40,
Sc. $3.50, $500. The top prices for
sheep from January to December
respectively we're: $4.85, So. 90, $4.75,
$3.50, $4.65, 1928, 1925, $500, $4.75,
So 90, $4.75, $3.50.

OUR FARMERS.
PIG PORK.

Fortnany years I have sold or but
cherea for home use all the pigs rails
ed on the farm at from six to seven
months old, as am convinced that it
costs less to make pork from young
animals and gives better quality of
meat, and of course reduces the risk
of loss from disease, not only becaus
it reduces the time of feeding but also
because to get a pig to weigh 200
pounds or more at seven months old
it must be fed SO as to be in perfect
health, and when this is the case the
danger from loss from disease is ex
ceeding small, writes Waldo E. Bro Wn
in Practical Farmer. I very much
doubt if this can be done from feeding
corn alone, as it does not build up the
bone and muscle sufficiently, and it is
also difficult to keep the digestio n
good for long period on such an un-
balanced food as corn, and no matter
how cheap corn may be, do not thin K
I can afford to feed exclusively to
hogs except for a short period near
ed. breed my sows for two filters a
year, to farrow III April and October,
and whileI can make an April pig
weigh 200 pounds little quicker than
l can an October, believe that as a
rule the price is higher in spring thar
in fall, and the difference in the profit
Of the spring and fall filters is small.
l find that it takes good and careful
feeding to make pig at six Or seven
months old weigh one pound FIR each
day thati it is old, and no careless feed
er will do it; for to succeed it is nee
essary to keep the pig thrifty fro
birth to block. A careless feeder
thinks that it makes little difference
if the pigs are overfed occasionally,
or fed at irregular hours, but if the di-
gestion is once impaired it will often
result in feeding for many days at a
loss, and every time that this is re-
Deated makes the animal more likely
to get off its feed again. One rule IN
feeding for the best results is to give
a little less food than the animals
would eat, so that they will always
come to their feed with a good appe-
tite I find that l can feed corn heav-
lily for a period of four Or five months
if at the same time my pigs will eat
some bulky or succulent food. Bran is
excellent and when 1 cannot get a
cheaper food always use 1t; but to
make it pa!atable and to get them to
eat enough Of it, make slop Of it,
and use a quart of old process oilme al
to each peck of the bran and large
handful of salt. This slop is fed about
as thick as it will run in the trough,
and have been feeding twelve pigs
about fl ye months old on it for Sc YER
al weeks, and they eat about Is gal
Ions day and will clean up over a
bushel of corn, and they are gaining
as fast as any pigs that | ever fed.
