Turkeys RS Bug Kill eTS.

Grasshoppers and other insect pests

would only employ the proper means
to circumvent them. Their deadly

be obtained the gander a very long
bird, the goose remarkable for color,
very wide dupe and not showing the
least tinge of brown in plumage, but a
beautiful silvery gray" Size and this
beautiful silvery gray color free from
any discoloration are most important
features for the exhibition Toulouse.
None can be more attractive than they
when of high quality, large size and
rich color. They more than any other
goose have gained the admiration of
visitors to the showroom.
The 1ooser plumage of the Toulouse
adds to their apparent size, while, in
fact, they are usually under the
weight of the best Embden. Records
show that at Birmingham Toulouse
ganders have weighed SO and 50
pounds each and ranged from SO to
62b pounds per pair, but the gen
eral average of the White Embden has
been the best and most regular, and,
while the show weights of the pres
ent do not equal the above because
they have quit showing them in a fat
tened condition, the average is in
favor of the Embden if of the same
age.

ABOUT SEED POTATOES.
Wien Placed in the Ground and Cow
cred with Earth and Straw
They Keep Well.

American Gardening tells how some
have kept their potatoes intended for
seed. Selecting them when digging,
they store them in a dry shed or
barn until the weather gets cold.
About the middle of November they
sort them, rejecting all that show
signs of decay. They then spread a
layer of straw eight or ten inches
thick upon the ground, and place the
potatoes on this. The best results
are from mounds about three feet
wide at the base and rising like a
cone to about the same height. This
is covered with straw and then by a
layer of soil from six to eight inches
thick. Before the weather gets too
severe more soil may be added, and
when the ground is frozen, put on
more straw or strawy manure. They
seem to winter much better than in
cellars or when put in mounds or pits
as soon as dry. We would say that
we think it would not injure the ger
mination of the sprouts if the tubers
were frozen solidly in such a mound,
ii they were not disturbed until they
had thawed out in the earth in the
darkness. We have plowed out pota-
toes in the spring that had lain with
III six inches of the surface of the
ground all winter, where the ground
had been frozen two or three feet
deep, and they were apparently as
sound and fresh as those dug in the

A Hin. from the Gvnsias

The gypsies, who devote their time
to horses and horse trading, are ex-
perts in taking an animal that is in
poor flesh and getting him III good
condition in a short time One of
these gentlemen gives the following
as his favorite ration used for this
purpose: Mix a bushel of faxseed
with like amount of barley and
corn and grind them together. These
proportions can be increased or de-
creased to meet the necessities of
any particular case. This mixture
is to be fed three times a day, after
being mixed with a peck of chopped
hay or straw. Commence with Civ
ing him a small amount at first,
gradually increasing it, until he is
fed all he will eat. 1t is recommend
ed as being much better than any
drug treatment for young or old
horses.-Farmers' Voice.

Good Horses sem wem

The demand for all the better classes
of horses is far greater than the sup,
ply, because farmers became discour-
aged six or eight years ago, and quit
breeding, when panic prices were be-
low cost of production, and the fear
that the bicycle and electricity would
soon displace the horse With the re-
vival of commercial prosperity came
the increased demand for good horses:
and with no breeding for few year.
the horse buyers soon culled out the
good horses, and we are now in the
midst of a horse famine.-Rural

very convenient, for the planks rum
ming lengthwise of the structure are
made to be removed in filling or load
ing by the end planks which meet them
being spiked securely to the extra
short posts, which are set opposite one
another for this purpose. The fresh
manure can thus be wheeled
out as fast as made, thrown
into one corner and then forked
to the opposite one in a
few days to prevent violent fermenta-
ton. Such shed is much better if
it has a cement floor, with the lower
most planks forming the sides embed

Live Beetles Kill Poultry.

One thing which is responsible for
the death of many turkeys is their eat
ing of live beetles, says a writer in the
Midland Farmer. If the potato beetles
are killed before eating, no harm is
done, but when swallowed alive, they
will live for number of days, destroy
ing the lining of the crop and bringing
on inflammation. Chickens are not apt
to eat potato beetles. but often swal-
log cinch bugs alive, which a. ! small
er, but about as harmful. Grasshop-
pers are 50 large that they are usually
torn to pieces before eating. All soft
insects may be swallowed without dam
ger to the turkey or chicken.

The Aim in Modern Education.
j. H. Boldridge in Baptist Courier

j. III. Boldridge in Baptist Courier.
Education, in our day, has a
definite meaning. significant,
aim, and purpose which, formerly,
it did not have. Scientific teach
ers are working intelligently to-
wards the accomplishment of spe-
cific results by the use of means
we'll suited to effect their delib-
erately formed and noble ideals.
DR.. w. T. Harris, the Com nIssio on
er of Education of the United
States, says: "a harmonious de-
velopment Of man in body and
soul into a noble human chsrac.
ter, in whom the aensual is sub.
ordinate to the intellectual and
the intellectual to the moral, is
today, as it was in Pestalozzi's
time, the highest formal aim of
the education of the individual"
Again he says: above all
things, then, our times require a
harmonious, natural, and scien.
tific perfecting of physical, ment-
al, moral, and economical devel.
opment of the individual, es
pecially in his mutual relations
with others. They require the
body to be strengthened, the in
tellect trained, and the will dis
ciplined." The present scientific
methods contain all that is good
In all the older systems Of educa-
ton and add such other elements
as our advanced knowledge has
demonstrated to be necessary.
Seventy five years ago, and later
too, the college student was eX-
pected to study Latin. Greek, and
mathematics as best he could and
recite to the satisfaction Of the
teacher. III he did his work we'll
he was considered to be all right
and received, in due time, his
diploma, as a matter Of course.
That method trained the intellect ;
but except indirectly and re-
motely, it not only ignored the
will and the sensibiilties, bat
often perverted the one and
starved the other. The result
was what might reasonably have
been expected. Frequent college
disturbances and riots were the
natural consequences. 1t is not
enough to cultivate the intellect
alone. 1t may not be easy to
state the difference between the
present and the older aims in
teaching, but the mention of sey.

Yates the intellect even moro
fully and more thoroughly than
the old system did; but it goes
further and aims to refine and
improve the sensiblhties and to
transform the intellectual treas
urles into rules of voluntary
action. The will, then, as in
nature so also in education, be-
ing coordinate with intellect and
sensibllity, assumes its proper
Office and function Of controlling
power, while intellect furnishes
guiding power, and sensibility
supplies propelling power. Thus
a well rounded and complete sys-
tenn of culture is made possible.
No matter how much Latin,
Greek, physics, chemistry, mathe-
matics, a young man may know,
if he has blunt and brutal sensi-
bilities and undisciplined will, he
is not to be considered as edu-
Gated. The young man who,
though he may know the whole
of the old curriculum by heart,
has not self-control to leave off
cigarettes, whiskey, profane
swearing, licentiousness, and
many other things, is not, at pres
ent, specially in demand any
where. The young man who has
not tact" which is really the
name of the exercise of just and
refined feeling in actual dealings
with others, is not apt to do
great deal in the world. A promi-
nent college professor said, last
year in printed article, that the
will cannot be directly cultivated.
Certainly not. But there is no
advance in thought in this state
nent. Neither intellect nor SEN
sibility can be cultivated directly.
Means must be used. But, by
the use of the proper means, at
the proper time, in the hands of
competent teachers, the will and
the sensibilities can be cultivated
as positively and as advantage
cusly as the intellect can. Just
at this point the greatness of the
true teacher makes itself mani.

more missionary than the older
education. 1t aims to lmpart it's
blessings to as many as possible.
1t desires to share it's riches with
the less highly favored. The old

dency to be exclusive, aristocrat-
ic, proud, supercilious. 1t made
a great deal of titles, degrees,
literary fads. 1t looked with
measure of disdain upon the
great unwashed throng. The aim
of modern education is to reach
with training every one who will
profit by it; it is inclusive; it is
democratic it delights in uplift.
ing the masses it is humble; It
does NOT consider beneath its
notice anything which pertains
to the welfare Of mankind. 1t
