The Ohio experiment station consid-
ers that it will pay well TO give more
attention than is done on the average
farm to the preservation of barnyard
manure first. by guarding ii from the
sources Of loss which occur in the or
binary open barnyard. and, second. by
treating it with materials calculated TO
reduce the losses from escaping am

It's content of phoSphoric acid on the
other.
To accomplish this purpose acid
phosphate appears to be the material
producing the largest and most profit
able immediate increase in effective
ness of the manure. but the expert
ments strongly suggest the possibility
that the finely ground phosphate rock
from which acid phosphate is made
may be found an economical substitute
for the latter by using it as an alb
sorbent in the stables and thus secur-
ing an intimate mixture with the ma
nure in its fresh condition.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is OF
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
flood if there is anemia?
Scott's Emulsion is a mixed
flood; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

has been tried, notably in Ohio. with
great success.
With such a system the pupils must
be transported to the centralized
school. Country prices for transporta-
ton prevail in the centralized region
and the cost of transportation is more
than overbalanced by the saving in
teachers hire. heating, ct cetera. An
Illinois teacher who visited Ohio es-
pecially to investigate the system says
that the man who collects all the chill
dren in one district and carries them
to and from the school receives for his
work about $1.2o day. His passen-
gers are about twenty in number. His
route is five miles long. that is. start
ing from the first home the distance to
the school is five miles. The actual
distance Travelled every day is greater
because Of the necessary detours to
the homes of the children.
The establishment of such a system

structures. four iron buildings and one

According to Superintendent Fow-
ler's tables compiled from the reports
of county superintendents for the
school year Of 1900 and 1901, there are
4Ss schools in the state with an aver
age attendance of five or less; 1,Sn
with ten or less; 3,52s with Is or less;
4.71 with twenty or less. There are
about $500 strictly rural school dis
tricts. The superintendent concludes
that: This attendance in three
fourths OF our rural schools Is too
small for vigorous, Interesting and
profitable work, educationally, socially
or financially. No school can claim
conditions for good work IL ii have
less than twenty-five pupils; yet there
are 4.771 rural schools in Nebraska
with an average daily attendance
ranging from one to twenty pupils.
The pupils in these small rural schools
must be collected into larger and bet
ter schools with better teachers who
are better paid. 1t does not matter

the only rational solution Of the ques-

According to these tables 169. 1876 Ne
braska children are attending schools
in which the average attendance is
less than twenty. The teachers are
paid small salaries and they are de-
ficient in knowledge and general cul-
ture. The district receives the advant-

it pays for; but at less expense to each

generally adopted. He suggests that

The Poor Boys College

Superintendent Cooley Of the Chica-

high schools should be regarded as the
academy Of the poor rather than as a
preparatory school for colleges. On ac-
count of lack Of funds 1t is proposed to
discontinue the eighty-nine public
kindergartens after June first until
such time as the school revenue Is ade-
quate to open them again. Superin-
tendent Cooley regards the kindergar-
ten as of inestimable value to a city

As q Saver of Life and a Banisher of

Womans power for good in the home can never be truly estimated. In times of suffering and danger. her judgment and experience are invaluable ;her smiles. words of cheer and comfort

 MT Rudolph M. Hunter, of the well known Hunter Corporation, Philadel- phia, Pa. says:
 I feel it is but right that I should acknowledge my appreciation of Paine's Celery Compound. That you may un- derstand my appreciation. I might say that for nearly twenty years I have continually suffered from neuralgia, poor circulation at night, and general ner VouS weakness from overwork due to daily labnrs of from twelve to eighteen hours upon the most intricate and eXhausting of brain work. To re- tire at night meant the worst of head aches and lack of sleep. l received no relief from physicians, and my enor- nous work upon my electrical inven- tions and Allegations has prevented me taking the rest so much needed Some time ago I began to take Paine's Gel cry Compound and soon I felt like new man.

BIG BUG GOLD AND COPPER co.
Progress of Development Work on T
 Promising Mine

J. H. CGnavan. president and general manager of the Big Bug Gold and Cop per Mining company, reports an acci-
 dent to his electric drilling machinery. which necesstated a closing down of the machine. says the Journal Miner. He has gone to Los Angeles to have the machinery repaired. and expects ta have it in operation again within two weeks. This property is located about two and a half miles east of Mayer. The double compartment shaft is down 200 feet at present. It was MT. Cana vans intention to push it to a depth of 300 feet. but was prevented by en- copntering a strong flow of water. He has been pumping 40,00O gallons of water per day from the mine. Until greater pumping facilities can he in stalled he will confine his operations to ecrosscutting. The shaft is being sunk between two lodges. about 15O feet from one and about sixty feet from the other. Two crosscuts now being run are for the purpose of cutting the ledge. The east one is in forty-nine feet and the west one forty-siX feet.
 Ore has already been struck in the lat ter al this distance. in the foot wall of the ledge. Pending the repairs to the electric drilling apparatus. work is be- ing continued by hand drilling. two shafts being worked in each crosscut. MT. Canavan has the mine equipped with a five-horse-power gasoline hoist
 and a twelve-horse power gasoline en- zine to run the blower, pump and cleo
 tric drills. The mine, hoist and engine room, bunk house and boarding house are also lighted by electricity from the latter. The property is copper prop
 erty, but carries values in gold also,
 and the copper values have increased
 with every foot of ground opened up.
