The Wisconsin Farmer.

The large and increasing circulation
of The Wisconsin Farmer in this coun-
tv is matter of congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for,
of all the papers of its class in the
country. it IS easily the best. Its
Special Farmers Institute additions, is
sued with the regular edition the first
week in each month, have been for
years the admiration of all practical
farmers. Written wholly by farmers,
they are full of actual experience and
smell of the SOIL We have been fort
innate this season to secure terms for
The Farmer and its Special Farmers
Institute Editions, together with The
Poultry Farmer and The Farmer 5
Mutual Insurance journal, four of
the most valuable farm publications
in the country, that enable us to offer
the four with our own paper for $1.75
for the entire five, one year. This is
emphatically a good thing, and no
farmer in this county should fail to
take advantage of the offer. For a
large line of thoroughly practical
farm reading nothing has ever been
offered before that equals it. A coun-
ty paper, farm paper, poultry
payer, a farm insurance paper and
Special Farmers Institute, all for
$175. Come in and order them.

Boring Holes Ills Mania.

Frank Hooley, farmers son. has
confessed TO being the one who bored
holes in the buildings all over the lit
tie hamlet of Montville, Geauga coun
ty, and in so doing surfeited that
Part of Ohio with mystery and no end
of superstitious fright, and incident
ally causing the suicide OF one man
TO whom circumstantial evidence
pointed as the perpetrator OF the
deed. Hooley, who is 10 years old,
appeared before Justice Case and
swore to the following story: about
one year ago | began to be troubled
with insomnia. Later the trouble be-
came worse and passed night after
night without sleep. When ! shut
my eyes could see augers. 10 the
right augers and to the left nothing
but augers felt an uncomfortable
desire to bore holes, and was so nerv-
Gus that thought | should 60 crazy.
One night, after trying in vain for
several hours to go to sleep, | arose,
went to the barn and bored hole in
one of the doors. Immediately | ex-
perienced a change of feeling and my
nervousness disappeared. | went to
bed and slept soundly all night.
had found a remedy for my ills, but
it did not last long, and soon found
that boring holes in the barn would
not bring sleep. | felt that | must
try the house, and did. About one
hole to each house and the virtue was
gone. make this confession because
! am sick of the business, and wish to
be taken where | can be treated for
this nameless disease" The an
nouncement of this strange statement
has made a sensation second only to
the discovery OF the holes. For
weeks after the discovery was made
the little settlement was in fever OF
excitement. Residents were utterly
at loss to explain the purpose of the
borings. A hole had been bored
through the outside wall OF every
dwelling in the village except two,
and in few houses two holes were
bored. Hooley is six feet tall and un-
usually thin. His shoulders are bent
and his eyes sunken. New York Sun.

School Boards Should Choose Their Teach
6rS With Care.

As prosperous farmer who want:
to raise a profitable crop of wheat viii
search for seed that is free from chess
and cookie and will then keep it a;
long as it is pure, SO should a school
board exercise care in employing 3
teacher. A school is place for the
training of the young, that they may
be made better men and women and
thereby better citizens. A child
when he is first sent to school is sim
ply bundle of possibilities, and if
the most is to be made out of those
latent powers, it behooves the school
board to use every means at their dis
posal to find out the physical, moral
and intellectual qualities of a person
before hiring him as teacher; and
after he has been tried ana has given
satisfaction, do as the good farmer
does with his seed wheat-keep him
until in your estimation it is the best
for the school and community at large
to have change.
OF course the responsibility Of hir-
ing the teacher is with the school
board, bat if the voters do not take
an interest it this matter and turn out
to school meeting and vote taxes
enough so that the teacher can be
paid liberal salary, they should not
afterward find fault with their school
board because they did not procure a
better teacher.
Who is the cheap teacher? General
~ speaking it is the person who is
barely able to get third grade GER
tilicate and yet is trying to teach.
But reflect moment. Is that the
kind of a teacher wanted to make the
most out of your children? | think
not. The ideals of such teachers are
too low and the child is retarded in
his progress by such an instructor.
In my estimation it would be better for
the common schools of the state if
there were no such thing as a third
grade certificate, for there would then
be stronger incentive to do better
work and higher ideals.
Education is the development of
the acquired power of the human be-
ing. 1t is apparent then that the
person who has had the most training
and is the most broadly developed,
is the one that is the best able to
present the subjects taught in the
common schools in a logical syste-
matte and interesting way; and if this
is not done correctly the child's men
tai machinery will not be working at
lis best, any more than an amateur
actor will compete successfully with
one who has been training for that
profession for years. If we are to
have our rural schools the best pos
siOle, and improve the standard Of
our common schools as we should do,
the first great step is to secure
teacher who has had at least high
school training and if possible, one
who has had the benefit of Normal
or University training. Let me say
IN conclusion then that school boards
in performing this all-important func-
ton Of selecting teacher should ex-
erclse the greatest OF care Keeping
this injunction in mind, Beware of
the cheap teacher and select one who
has had the training"
