The latest discovery of the depart
ment OF agriculture, according to the
veracious Washington correspondent
is, a worm that eats nothing but weeds.
The name of this discriminating and
obiiging worm IS not given, so we
know nothing OF it's origin or ancestry.
What q dream farm life will be some
sweet day! With pumpkins full OF sug-
ar, ever bearing strawberries. ground
hogs that eat Gully IN sulnme bencvo-

ladybugs to eat the destructive bugs,
hens that can't scratch, government
seeds that grow and every crop SC full

richer and richer, farmers have certain
an alluring prospect. Eus it might
be well TO 20 on farming in the good

A series Of eight experiments recent

keeping pigs ON sgvs as long as posi-
bile consistent with the healthy and

American Agricufturist. Tie chief
reason for this is that a SOW and her
pigs together viii extract more noun
ishment from a given quantity of food
than viii the weaRed pigs alone.
The SOW and pigs were weighed sep
arately each week. and any loss or
gain OF the sow was deducted from or
added to the Increased weight Of the
pigs. The pigs were allowed to remain
on the SOW for ten weeks. Then a
similar course OF feeding was carried
on with the pigs for weeks. The
sow and pigs consumed on an average
231 pounds OF meal and 53A pounds of
skinned milk in making a similar In

plant Fo..s IA soil.

Every farmer knows that old plan Of
testing a soil by analysis is of no great
practical use. There Is plenty OF plaEt
food locked up in almost any soil. The
trouble is to set It into the crop. 1t is
not in right condition for present use
because not soluble. The department
Of agriculture IS now perfecting a new
plan to test soils by finding the amount
Of plant food I'm the soil moisture. This
isthe only part Of the plant food which
the crop can use. The plan looks sen
sFble and is In line with the experience
Of farmers. It may sson become posi-
Ele to test and compare soils in a cor
rect and reliable way If the depart
ment's new plan fulflls expectations

SAYS MUSIC TEACHING IS WRONG.
Committee Declares There Should Be More
Skilled Teachers in Schools.

That the method of musical instruction in the
public schools of Brooklyn. in permitting music TO
be taught by unsked class teachers TO the present
extent, is a mistake is the opinion expressed in the
report Of a committee yesterday at the annual
meeting of the Department Of Music Of the Brook
lyn Institute. The report sets forth that change
is now IN progress in musical instruction in the
public schools from what is known the old
Brooklyn system which involves the direct teach
ing of the scholars by specialists in music. to the
Indirect system, which mag be called the New-YOrk
system by which the teachers strive to instruct the
pupils through the medium of the class teachers.
II has been found that there has recently been a
reduction in the musical staff in Brooklyn from
thirty to twenty-one music teachers, of whom six
have been assigned exclusively to high schools,
leaving only fifteen for the elementary schools.
which number 140. It is declared that in many
schools It is impossible for the music teacher to
give attention to the class or to the instruction
of the class teacher oftener than from ten to fifteen
1-ore5 schools the maximum is declared to be If
teen minutes week There is thus evidenced. the
reDorr saws a lack of uniformity in the work, de-
nending upon the number and size OF the schools IN
a district and their accessibility.
The committee recommends to the Board OF ECU
Tnusic so that every class shall have the benefit
of the music teachers instruction or supervision AT
least once a week, with weekly assembly in addi-
ton also in charge Of the technical teacher, ana
thar the direction and supervision of the music
in schools shall entirely in charge of the teach
are oP music subject, of course, to the super
vision of the director Of music and the district
