Normal Notes.

In consequence of the law requir-
ing teachers in the common schools
to pass an examination in the e1e-
mentS of agriculture and the recent
introduction of this subject by ac-
ton of the board of regents in the
Normal school course, and the hope
full prospect of it's being made a
part of the common school curricu-
lum at an early date, this school has
made definite plans for working a
school garden, which may be con-
sidered an experiment station or
laboratory for our students in agri-
culture, In which, through process
es of observation and experimental
ton, knowledge may be gained at
first hand. Well organized agricul-
ture demands practical knowledge
of scientific facts and principles; it is
the field in which theory is made to
meet the test Of practice, to be JUS
titled or condemned by the test.
The results are concrete, not vision
airy, and confront the student in
tangible ways, making him cogniz-
ant of success or failure. The de-
tails of the plan are as follows:
Half an acre of ground has been
ploWed, narrowed and will be divid-
ed into lots of two square rods, du-
ly numbered, each of which will be
assigned to student Of the class in
agriculture. Each student will sub
nit plans for the working of his lot
to Professor Ewing, who has this
work in charge, for approval, being
held responsible for the execution
of his plans and the appearance Of
his lot. The following lines of work
are suggestive:
/. Make a sketch of your plot of
ground, drawing accurately to a
scale of one centimeter to foot,
and subdividing into quarters.
Number the quarters, Measure off
tbs ground as you plant and record
the date, kind Of seed and purpose
of planting.
2. Suggestions for agriculture
plot to show the effect of texture.
(a) Plant seeds, grain, ETC., in very
compact soil. (b) Plant same in
very loose soil. (c) Plant in soil
firned.
8. Test OF fertilizer. Plant a
part with (a) no fertilizer, (b) barn
fertilizer, (c) sodium nitrate, (d)
phosphoric acid, (e) potash fertili-
ger, (f) complete fertilizer, (g) wood
ashes. Comparative value of ma
nure and cultivation. Compare the
results of well-manured section
with little or no cultivation with a
well cultivated plot and no manure.
The committee of the board of re-
gents on examination of candidates
for certificates and diplomas will
visit the school officially on May %.
Professor Adrian inspected the
rural schools of ST. Croix county in
