STATE HIGH SCHOOL REPORT.
Annual Report of State High School In

Annual Report of State High School In
spector. 80.
State High School Inspector Geo. B.
Alton, has issued his eighth annual re-
port for the school year ending July
81. 1901. In his report he says: ''The
wisdom of increasing State aid from
S4OO per school to $500 and again to
$1,000 has been shown by a general
movement for an Improvement in facili-
ties and Instruction" Mr.. Alton saws
he does not think there is a high school
town in the State in which a board
member could be elected on an out and
out anti-high school platform. OF high
school studies German is making the
greatest relative. gain, having increas-
ed by Is schools and 800 students.
Latin made a gain of 954 students.
Nearly everystudent is studyding some
English classics daily. Astronomy is
floosing ground, and physics, the most
difficult subject in the high. school
course is making q considerable gain.
Mr.. Alton says the. State is*in much
need of teachers of drawing and music.
Mr.. Alton devotes a chapter to the
janitor, and gives school boards some
good suggestions on this important
parsonage, who should take pride in
keeping the school clean and tidy.
PAY the janitor and respect him, and
at whatever cost, let the school house
be clean,'' says the inspector. 49,,
According to the report the Prince
ton high school had au enrolment last
year:of ~ scholars and graduated 4.
Twelve classes were heard daily; three
by the superintendent. The average
annual expenditure for outfit in the
Princeton high school for the past four
years was as follows: Chemistry, S.:

q single tier, on the butts of the stalks.
or outd oors in long ricks in a similar
manner. But if the bundles or stalks
are piled one on the other they will
seldom keep. One of the best methods
is to go through the field before heavy
snow falls, and draw the shocks togeth-
er with a horse and chain, setting up
three shocks into one. The snow blows
away from very large shocks, and they
offer less surface to the weather, and
therefore keep in better shape. These
shocks can then be drawn up and fed
throughout the winter, directly from
the field. II the fodder has been closely
grown in the row, the stalks will be
rather firm and tender, and the cattle
will consume nearly all of it. Where
slower, or stalks of ear corn are used.
or where the stalks have been grown
TOO lar apart, much OF the butt will be
rejected unless cut up before feeding.
IL IS convenient to do this only when
supplied with a power OF some sort and
feed cutter. The cheapest plan is to
grow the corn thick and avoid the
necessity of cutting.
Corn fodder is equal to timothy or
wild hay in feeding value, and superior
to it for milk cows in succulence. It is
not equal to clover hay and where pos
sible, should be supplemented by clo-
yer or bran, for cows. It may be fed
to sheep or horses as part Of the winter
ration, with great benefit.

CORN FODDER.

How it is Cured, and It's Value for
4 Those who have, raised corn fodder
for winter feed for stock and have not
handled it before, will be apt to
make mistakes in curing it, which will
diminish its value as feed. The corn
should be cut as soon as the lower
leaves turn yellow. Upon the Expert
.ment Farm corn binder is being used
this year. This is cutting fodder corn
ten feet tall, standing in a double row
six inches apart, with stalks so thick
that no ears are born, and binding it
in bundles. When the stalks of ear
corn are cut for fodder, the question of
curing is not so important, as the stalks
are quite dry and Of much less value
for feed than thickly grown fodder
corn, having given up much Of their
food ingredients to the ears of corn.
Binding in bundles by hand is slow and
:1aborious, but facilitates handling
when feeding and may be found to pay
in lifelong run. The shocks should
be made rather small and, very firmly
tied with Irvine, as they will shrink.
These small shocks should be left in
the field till November or later. It's
out OF the question to attempt to fill
hay mows with fodder corn, or to put it
up IN stacks, as the fodder contains so
much succulence that it will heat and
spoil. + can be set up in the barn, fnl

Thus it will be seen that the associa-

premiums and bills still unsettled.
But there are several sums of money

brought forward as candidates, but
Barkis was not willing. Finally T. F.
Scheen was prevailed upon to take the
Office. Drs. Tarbox and Armitage and

president also act with the board, Mr..
Jack cheerfully volunteering his servi-

urer and the roster of officials was thus
completed.
The board of managers and officers
of the association met Monday evening
to make arrangements for holding the
fair. The date was set for Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3rd, 4th and
9th. Committees were named to look
after the various details. There will
be several interesting events for draw

extended to Gov. VanSant to be pres

Princeton will hold the county fair
this year as usual. Through indiffer-

Laos county fair, was allowed to be-
come almost dead letter. but the
business men of Princeton could not
stand for failure and decided to reor-
ganize and reiuvinate the county fair.
The meeting at the village hall last
Saturday night was productive of good
results. Quite a number of business
men were present, to discuss the mat
ter. DR.. Tarbox called the meeting to
order and stated its nature and pur-
pose. Z. 81. Galley was chosen chair
man and T. F. Scheen secretary. Mr..

talk about the county fair, but the
question did not come under full dis

why matters were delayed so in max

last April he called a meeting of the
