Principal TnoMas VI. Boyre OF the
First District school Is Of the belief
that city children are the real tsff farm
ers, Is in the matter OF observation,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. The
country cousin has long been scored
at for his open-mouthed wonder at
what ma; to his city-bre playmates are
objects of Very-day knowledge, and
plenty have been the Jokes sprung at
the expense Of the country gaWk upon
III his visits to the city. But now. the
tables are turned and the city boys
and and girls may well look out for their
llasurels as World-Wise youngsters. .'.We
nave been reading Snow Bound, il
our eighth grade recently, = said Mr..
Boyce, and it is matter Of surprise
and Underwent to note how little the
Sch llll,1 en-: know about farm life and
nature. Some passages which one
would think every intelligent boy or
girl OF a or Is years Of age ought to
4 Know low leave a perfect blank in the
minds OF the city scholars. Take, for
instance, the passage, The oxen
hooked, and dashed their tails The
scholars could not imagine what
Z 'hoo ked' meant. They thought that
the word hook meant to snatch, to
steal, to grab, to swipe, but not one
associated the word with the tossing
of the horns Of the impatient brutes.
The passage describing the well sweep,
like P1sa's leaning miracle was so
much Greek to them. Although they
understood the reference to the lean
ing tower Of Pisa, they knew nothing
of the d-fashioned well sweep. The
sun-circled day, portent Of the storm
they had never seen. They expostu-
lated at believing such thing. You
cannot look at the sum- they said. Tt
is too bright. It hurts your eyes
Now, venture to say that there is not
a boy in this state who has lived on
a farm to whom the sun-circled day
is not the portent of storm. They
have noticed it from their childhood
days. The city children were non
plussed in reading of the. gray banks
of clouds with the rising of the sun.
The sun they see is over the housetops,
through some dining-room window. It
is an interesting study for me to OBJ
serve how little the city people are
taught to observe nature That is
where the country children have The
advantage over their city cousins"

! EngIand's supply OF; 'sstoro Cal tie.

The rearing and selling Of store cat
\ tie is one OF the most imp rtant and
lucrative departments Of Irish stock
breeding, says the English Live Stock
Journal. .'.Th he trouble and expense Of

with It. Though we always advise
breeding IN preference to buying it
must be recognized that ii parts of

farming and other circumstances rem

probably as great to buy the stores as

the plan suits him best The agricull.-
turists Of Canada and the United
States would certainly like very we'll
TO GUST Ireland from this profitable
market. The extensive pasture lands
OF Ireland enable the farmers of Great
Britain, and especially those Of Scot

trouble and expense Of raising young
stock. !" The frames Of the store cat
tie exported from Ireland are built up
out Of the Irish grass lands, the ami

Great Britain. This interesting in
stance, !" it is stated, ''of a territorial

Of the fine bone-pr ducing qualities OF

sion Of the export trade in store cattle
as has now taken place Involves an
exhausting drain on great natural re-

Journal COZ Chicago) says:
AS there has been no case of pleuro-
pneumonia in the 100000 Canadian cat
tie landed and slaughtered at British
ports since 1896 the English and Scot
fish farmers are again protesting
against the continuance of the en-
barge Of Canadian live cattle as stores
(feeders). Ireland supplied Great
Britain 427,s91 store cattle last year,
and half as many fat cattle. Of the
BULLS used in Ireland for breeding there
were, according to the official returns,
S,406 Shorthorns, 329 Herefords, 1854
Aberdeen-Angus, 116 Red Polled, 376

Great Britain has increased her pas
ture lands from 10000 900 acres in 1870
to 100000 acres in 1900. That is,
more than half of the 100000 acres
of farm land is in pasture. This in
dicates the extent Of live stock breed
ing and feeding among British farmers
on their high priced lands much higher
than any American farms. AS the
competition of cheap grain from for
eign countries increases, live stock Of
the improved breeds increase and with
it the inevitable, increase in pasture
Lands as the highest source of agri-
cultural prosperity. So, too, will our
eastern and southern states find in
creased prosperity as they increase and
improve their live stock, especially on
their high-priced lands.

slop or Dry. Feed for swine.

. At the Indiana Experiment station
several tests were made to determine
whether slop, or dry feed were most
profitable and to determine in what
proportion to solid food water should
exist in the feed. The figures reported
also bring out the fact that pigs
weighing 60 pounds, fed dry feed, con-
sumed on an average of 2.35 pounds
of water daily, and that this amount
increased nearly constantly until these
same pigs weighing 218 pounds con
sumed 11.07 pounds per day, It is
also shown that pigs fed water in their
food as a slop, when weighing about
90 pounds consumed either 2.42, 4.25s or
5.79 pounds of water per day, while
these same pigs weighing 213 to 222
pounds consumed either SIT, IA or 1s
pounds of water per day. Undoubtedly
much of this water was consumed I'M
necessarily and certainly one lot was
given much more water with its grain
than was required. There was no ma
terial difference in the appearance of
the pigs in either lot, so far as quality
IS concerned, and SO far as this one
experiment goes, the use of about two
times the weight of water to grain in
dicates a satisfactory proportion. In,
view Of the fact that the pigs fed dry
grain made slightly the best gains, it
would appear that there is really no
gain in feeding the pigs a slop instead
of dry grain excepting as feeder
may regard it matter of convenience.

elect them. Some are amazingly anti
quated in their methods of procedure,
while others are as go-ahead as it is
possible to be- On the continent, how
ever, more or less of a family likeness
exists between the parliaments of the

and distinctive methods of govern
ment. One Of the most remarkable in
stances of these existing to-day is the

The government of no Swiss canton
by the people is more absolute than in
that of Glarus, where the burghers as

cupies a platform in the middle of the
square. There are places for boys
