Need for Better Country Schools.

A method of improving, and at the
same time cheapening country schools
is a long felt want. If the public school
system breaks down anywhere it is in
spsrsely settled rural districts, where
there are not enough pupils within a
practicable area to justify the expense
of good building and good teacher.
The merits of a graded school are not
attainable where there are only six or
eight pupils of assorted ages and at
tainments, and only one instructor,
with a minimum salary. The State
naturally cannot afford to provide for
a population of ten to a square mile
the same accommodations that it
readily provides for a population OF
600 to the square mile. Should it
attempt to do SO the treasury would
be bankrupted. The disadvantage
is enhanced by the fact that in sparse
ly settled neighborhoods the people are
apt to be poor and unable to supple
ment with voluntary contributions, or
local taxation, the scanty school fund
received from the State. The result
is that some country schools are Ia
mentally inefficient. and the badness
of the schools tends to prevent i'm
provement by the influx of new settlers
and new capital. Intelligent farmers,
on the contrary, anxious for good
schools for their children, move away
with regret to localities where the soil
is worse, but the schools better.

to Regular Boxes,

For hauling manure, earth, stone,

the regular box Of his farm wagon,
since it will not present SO good an ap-
pearance on the road or last so long
when used for all kinds of work as it
will when better care is taken of it
1t Is a good plan to have an extra box
to be used for the rough work.
If the farmer does not care to go to
the trouble Of having made an extra
box. he may for some kinds of rough
and dirty work, such as stone and
manure hauling. replace the box with
rough boards laid loosely between the
standards In the old way. This method

THE CURING OF Hay.
Some Heas oms why the Best Quality
Has Necessarily to Be Made
I'm the Shade.

Every year there are many ques.
tions about curing hay. Early-cut
grass contains more moisture than
that which stands until dead ripe. and is
harder to cure. Hay is grass with
the water taken out Of 1t. The water
Is removed by the wtnd-a hot breeze
while the sun is shining giving ideal
haymaking conditions. The easiest
way for the water to be taken from
the plant Is through the leaves.
When these leaves are dried and
killed first Of all there Will be con-
siderable water left In the stem, and
this will move out very slowly. When
the leaves are left fresh. they suck on
pump the water rapidly from the
stem, and thus dry It quickly. Cut
down two trees In full leaf. From
one take every green leaf at once
and let the leaves on the other slow
ly wither and die. You will find the
first tree wet and soggy. while the
other Is dry-having been sucked or
pumped by the leaves. These things
explain why the best hay is made in
the shade. The leaves are not with
cred, but keep on pumping water
from the stems and sweating" it
out. Clover especially Is best cured
In the coch. It's thin. broad leaves
are quickly wilted In the hot sun,
while In the pile they keep at work:
We must remember that some SAM
pies Of early-cut clover contain over
1000 pounds of water in every ton
and that 1900 pounds Of the water
must be taken out in short timel
One reason why the tedder makes
such useful hay tool is that IL
breaks the stem and gives the water
a chance to escape.-Rural New
