Rights of Teachers.

Miss Maggie Paul, school teacher at
Spring Mill, was acquitted in court at
Norrstown of beating Leo Strauss,
aged years. He drew an offensive
picture on his slate and Miss Paul, it is
said, whipped him with ruler. In ad-
dressing the jury, Miss Paul's counsel
said that the teachers are not only EN-
ployed to impart knowledge, but to care
for the moral welfare of the pupils and
they are warranted in administering
punishment which will have lasting
influence.
The court in its charge indorsed this,
and stated, moreover, that teachers
have the care of children from the time
that pupils leave home until they return
and that not even school boards have
any authority to interfere with the

burned that her death is momentarily
expected. The women of the house

How to Grow Potatoes.

noW 10 OTOW f~OC0VOGSs
The natural soil for the potato is that
which is fairly rich, warm and dry. The
soil should be plowed in the spring Gt
would have been better to have plowed
In the fall and again in the spring. at
least week or two before planting
time. If the soil is so moist as to make
the growing of late varieties hazardous
this may be overcome by exposing the
seed tubers to partial sunlight (spread
them out under trees). which will cause
the starch in the potato to be trans
formed to sugar. The buds will grow
strong and large and the seed will come
up much quicker. After planting, cover
and ridge the ground so that there will
be six or eight inches Of soil over the
seed. A few days before the potato
plant would be through the ground use
a cultivator between the rows, a mar
row harrow will do as we'll or better,
running as close to the rows as possi-
BILE. repeating this cultivation every
ten days until it is impossible to get q
cultivator between the rows. This con-
stant cultivation, in connection with
frequent spraying. is the keynote Of
success. Fertilizers are necessary. but
the average potato field needs cultiva-
tion more than it does fertilizing.

when was at school," she remarked,

kinds of men l never could be induced

a man who was younger than l. Sec

was shorter than |. Third, l never
would marry politician. Well. l kept

Douglas married a man who was not

Testing Seeds


The farmer or gardener should test
his seeds before planting them or SOW
ing them, to see how large a proper
ton OF them will germinate. We know
of no better way to do this than to
place them between two layers of fan
mel, which place in plate. moisten
with water and cover with another
plate, then set in u warm place where
1t will not freeze nights, and keep the
flannel moist Most of garden seeds
should germinate in few days. Any
which do not appear within week
after the first comes may be considered
practically valueless. for although some
might be more than a week behind the
first, and yet sprout finally. where they
start so slowly they seldom make Wig.
orous plants. 1t is good idea to count
the seeds put In. say 100 of each for
small seeds. and If so to S5 per cent. Of
them have put out good sprouts at the
end Of the test they are good seed. and
20 per cent. is a very fair seed, though
we would not care TO use any that did
not test up to that. OF course the time
before the first sprout appears varies
with different seed. Lettuce might
come In three days, and some kinds of
grass not in less than three weeks.
Carrots are said to germinate better in
the soil than under this test, and the
same may be true Of beets.-American
CultivatOr.

Weed Law Arouses Iowans.

Iowans are thoroughly aroused to the
execution of a new law requiring
weeds in the highways to be cut at
proper time. The statutes require
that If in any case the weeds of lands
in the public roads are not cut before
Aug. Is it becomes the duty of the road
supervisor of the township to take the
case in hand. In the event that the
land owner does not within three days
heed the written reminder given him
of the laws requirement, then the SUI
pervisor shall cause the weeds on such
land to be mOwn, and he shall make
return of his bill for the work at rate
not to exceed 81 per day, which shall
be paid from the district road fund.
The amount SO paid is then entered up
and levied against the lands on which
said weeds have been destroyed and
collected by the county treasurer the
same as other taxes. Auditor Millin,
of Taylor County, has stated in the
newspapers that the call for copies Of
the road law bearing on weeds was
so great that the edition became ex-
hausted, after which the same was
printed as regular advertisig matter
in the newspapers of the State.
