TEACHING OF AGRICULTURE.
Agriculture should Have Place in
the CURRICULUM of Public
and Private Schools.

Agriculture should be taught in all
public schools, and in private schools
as well. The true object of teaching
the young is to Undue their minds
with elementary truthsand train them
in the use of such truths, as foun-
dation for the education" which is
completed only when death or senility
writes O period after the last COM
pleted sentence. Strange as it may
seem, the most important facts in ma
ture have been the most neglected in
our curricula. A man may corner
wheat, and thus tax the bread-eaters
TO the extent of millions of dollars,
and yet be an ignoramus, who knows
nothing of the laws of nature which
has made wheat possible. The society
pet may pay IS for bouquet for his
best girl, and yet, If he knows not
whence the flowers came, and by what

concern him as the little girl, who, on
visit to her aunt in the country, r.

yellow scum on it." There can be nc

The Care of Farm Harnesses.

The harness should be given good
cleaning and oiling at least once n
year. 1t should be taken apart so
that every part is treated. 1t is usu-
ally necessary to wash ii before oiling.
For this purpose dissolve bit of
soap in quart of soft water and boil,
then add one quart of kerosene and
stir and beat until creamy emulsion
is formed. Into large tub of warm
water pour the emulsion, stirring
thoroughly, then put in the harness
and let it soak until all the foreign
matter can be rubbed off easily with a
stiff brush. Take the harness out and
place in shade and allow it to dry on
the outside. Before it's gets stiff APP
ply some good harness oil, rubbing it
on well. After a few hours rub off
any supcrfuous oil which has not
penetrated the leather, as otherwise
it will become sticky and catch dust.
Never keep farm harness in damp
place, as the metallic parts will rust
and the leather will mold and rot. 1t
is very important that any part which
becomes weak be replaced immediate
Iy. Each horse should have his own
collar. See that it fits him perfectly,
and do not under any circumstances
use it on any other horse. No two
horses have shoulders exactly alike,
and, as the collar tends to accommo-
date itself to one animal, it is likely
to injure another-Pacific Tree and
Vine.

HERE AND THERE.

TO yield plentiful supply OF
good milk COW must be well fed on
good food.
The only way to teach cow gen
tleness is to be gentle in your treat
ment of her.
Few farmers are so situated that
they can afford to keep COW merely
to raise her calf.
Corn meal is selling for one dol.
lar per bushel in Weakley county,
Tenn, the highest price paid since
1864.
Texas mills are getting large ship.
ments of wheat from Oklahoma and
Indian territory. The green bug
consumed most of the Texas crop.
This country will have a good sur.
plus of wheat to sell this year, and
famine threatened farmers in other
countries will make good demand.
Drawn farming has done its best;
men have plowed, planted and titled
and partial failure is the result. Now
try brain farming. Put the head al
work. Look ahead, calculate, plan.
One thing definitely known con.
corning this years corn crop is that
there will be great lot of partly
filled ears of understandable corn
This will be all right for feeding, but

Raise More Rye.

A gentleman was trying to buy five
bushels of rye and was unable to get
it. This caused the question to be
asked why more rye wasn't raised,
and some one replied that it was be-
cause the farming class had not been
educated to it. After rye, he said, you
can always get good set of grass,
and it is much better fertilizer than
wheat. Ground that will yield Is BUSH
els of rye will raise from II to 20 of
wheat, and you can make more off
rye at 40 and so cents bushel than
you can off wheat at 20 cents, on ac-
count of extra grazing; and cut up
and bundled like casts, there is no
better feed than rye.-Farmers' Home

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10,-Mrs. j. b.
Flanagan, of this place, has suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
The time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
storo in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
himto have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
FILLS, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletcly restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever OF
Dropsy.
TO say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
ut her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and OF
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case Of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

The Good Time Coming.

The time is rapidly coming wher.
the bulk of the cotton crop of the
south will be made up in the south.
Every year new mills are built in the
south, and every new mill here en-
courages the building of another.
Significant too is the price which has
prevailed for the great southern sta
pie for the past three years. Nine
cent cotton means widespread pros.
perity in the south, and with the
south controlling its cotton business
from the stalk to the loom, it is not
unlikely that innocent cotton can be
made a permanent thing. The prob
lem is being solved through the me-
dunn of southern cotton mills.-Fay.

Restoring Worn out Soils.

The best way to restore worn-out
sandy soils is by means of cow peas,
Take badly-worn field, for instance,
and drill thickly with COW peas, using
whatever phosphoric or potassic fer
tilizers may be available or cheapest.
Plow under the pea vines (or make
and sell as hay) and SOW down in
wheat or oats, as location may indi-
cate, all the time using all the barn
yard manure that can be saved. When
the grain is cut late corn may be
planted, and at laying by another
crop of peas grown, and cut and cured
for hay. Henceforth the land is not
worn out, and with proper care will
continue to improve. With proper
rotation of crops, with COW peas every
three years at least, and some addi-
tional phosphate and potash, profita-
bic crops can be grown forever
