bulletin, and this bulletin in itself
will give suggestions enough to
occupy the teacher a life time. Skill
and delicacy of touch will best be
acquired by reading and assimilating
the Cornell teachers leaflets. These
will more accurately than any one
thing / know of indicate the method
and material of nature study. They
will suggest profitable themes, pre-
sent facts, and at the same time serve
to show how much work should be
presented. They are model nature
study lessons. The titles of a few of
these leaflets are:
1. CHOW a Squash Plant Gets Out
of It's Seed"
2. Chow a Candle Burns"
8. "Four Apple Twiga."
4. "The Life History of a Toad.
These bulletins may be acquired at
the cost price of a few cents by ap-
plying directly TO Cornell University.
Good books are now numerous :;
statement that could not have been
made a decade ago. Let the teacher
read Gibson, Baily and Atkinson,
and get the inspiration of their
work let him take the course in
correspondence at Chicago, Cornell
and Chautauqua, on these subjects.
The teacher might take advantage
of the excellent summer schools at
Chicago, Cornell, Chautauqua, Oh
nearer home with our local colleges.
If there is a demand many of our
local colleges will institute courses
of work adapted to the needs of the
teacher. We are as present CON
Quoting work a. the Agricultural
and Mechanical College that could
easily be modified to suit such needs
1 believe all other colleges would do
the same.

quire ambition, and some expendi-
ture of money on the part of the
teacher. Other means of self-oul-
ture lie in the educational Journals,
and in teachers institutes. Eduoa-
tional journals should be supplied to
the teacher by the board of eduoa-
ton. No investment of $50 can
bring as great returns in any other
way. One journal is not enough,
and few teachers can afford to pay
for a file. These should be provided
by the school board. I would place

STATISTICS OF WHEAT CROP.
The Average Yield fOr10O1 was Con- siderab1y Above the Average
 For the Past Ten Years.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The statis- tician of the department of agricul- ture estimates the average yield per acre of wheat in the United States, in 1901, at 14.8 bushels, as compared with 123 bushels in 1900, 123 in 1899, 15.3 in 1898 and 13.3 the mean of the averages of the last ten years.
 The newly seeded area of winter wheat is provisionally estimated at 32 ,00O, ,000 acres, an increase of 5.6 per cent. upon the area estimated to have been sown in the fall of 1900.
 The newly seeded area of winter rye is provisionally estimated at l. 250,000 acres, an increase of 20 per cent. upon the area estimated to have been sOwn in the fall of 1900.
 The department has no reports as to the condition of winter wheat later than December. 1. At that date it was S67 per cent. of the normal, as compared with 97.1 in 1900, 97.1 in 1899 and 92.6 in 1898.
 The department will not issue any further estimate of the total produc- tion of any product of the soil nor of the number of farm animals until it has made such adjustments of it's estimates for the last years as may seem to be required by the reports of the census, based on an actual farm to-farm visitation, now in course of publication.

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
One of the Most Important American Commercial Enterprises
 in Europe.
BUYING BRITISH AND OTHER CANALS,
e"fEOes or Grain, Etc, Will, Shortly He Shipped From Duluth, MinM., on the Same Bill of Lading. to Many Points in England, France, Germany and Italy.

London, Jan. 12.-One of the most important American commercial en- prlses in Europe has just eliminated here. It consists of securing all-wa- ter routes for American cargoes of grain and other commodities from inland ports of. the United States to inland ports of England, and includes the purchase: by American capital, of several British and other canals.
 Frank W. Hawley, vice-president of the Erie Canal Traction Co.,, has been on this side several months, quietly securing concessions for the opera ton of European canals by electrici- l ty. The Erie concern has secured control of about 5000 miles of canals In England and on the continent. As result, cargoes will shortly be shipped on the same bill of lading from Duluth, Minn., to Brussels, Bruges, Ghent and Cologne, and, la ter, to many points in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy.
 At the forthcoming session of par iiament the British legislators will be asked to grant permission for the erection of central power stations for the propulsion of traffic on at least two British canals. These will be op erated with American capital, though their control will nominally remain in British hands.
 Mir. Hawley said to press repre- sentative:
 'Yes, it is true that the Traction company is making considerable progress in securing all-water routes by acknowledgements canals throughout Europe. I can not tell you yet the names of the English ca nals, owned by railroads, which do not make very good financial show ing; but 2,76S miles of English ca nals, independent of railroads, show earnings of G729 per mile, which are greater than those shown by many American railroads. However, we have been able to get control of portion of these, because their ope- ration and maintenance expenses are over 70 per cent. of their gross re- ceipts. The largest canals in Eng land, viz; the Birmingham, Grand Junction, Leeds and Liverpool, OK ford and Bridgewater, are not far re- moved from sources of electric power supply, at least, nothing like so far removed as is the canal at Oakland, Cal, where the power is transmitted from the Yuga river, distance of 40 miles. Therefore, it is merely ques- ton of getting the necessary consent of parliament for the conveyance of this electric energy before the Eng fish canals will be equal to the canals of America and Belgium, where elec- trical energy has resulted in in creased facilities with correspond ing reduction in the cost of opera tion.'
