VALUE OF MANURE.

A bulletin Of the Mississippi
Station says The manure from
animals fed on cotton seed meal are
about the only feeds that are ever
used directly as fertilizers, and
that are worth their market price
for this purpose. The liquid and
solid excretions of animals contain
most Of the fertilizer ingredients in
n feed, and 1t seems that stable
manure should be one Of the val
liable products on every farm.
The beef cattle Of the station
are fed 10 q barn, but they are
never confined In it, being allowed
to go in and out as they please.
Leaves or other bedding are
used in sufficient quantity to alb
sorb the urine and keep the barn
dry and comfortable, and 10 this
way we get about one ton Of ma
nure to each animal during the
winter months. Six steers in four
months produced 16, 100 pounds or
a little more than eight tons
Eighteen animals produced during
the winter 37,14 pounds. The
herd produced, during the winter
OF 19Ol-Ol, 100000 pounds, ora
little over hfty-four tons.
Blight was very bad in cotton
last season. On the Station pIats
everything blighted aud shed the
leaves except the plat fertilized
with stable manure. The manure
not only prevented blight, but 1t
gave a better yield per acre, and
improved the staple to an appre-
ciable extent. Small applications
Of manure have proven very bene-
ficial to cowpeas, alfalfa and ber-
nuda. Manure improves land in .
very decided manner, and 10 more
lasting than commercial fertilizers.

HAND SCHOOLS AND HEAD SCHOOLS.
The hand school should be as
much a part Of the public school
system as the head school. There
should be large extension Of
mutual training. Boys should be
taught to draw and to read drawing,
as we'll as to read books. They
should be taught how to use the
hammer, the plane, the saw and
few other simple tools aud above
all aud everything they should be
taught that work is not dishonor-
able, but only those who think
so.-New Hdren Palladium.

NEW SLAVERY

New York, Jan. 19.-Dr. Felix
Adler in an address in Carnegie
Hall Sunday on can't Democratic
Tendencies in American Life. -
said, in regard to Professor jerks
recommendation for the introduce
tion Of cooie labor in America s
Philippine possessions:
"My contention is that this
proposition is to establish human
slavery forty years after we went
through war aud human bloodshed
to Danish this evil from our nation
forever. The cooie contract is no
contract. The essence Of the con
tract Is the fact that it can be
broken. The coolie contract is
nisnamed, because it makes the
man labor whether he will or not.
call this qualified slavery. When
we have the example Of the hap
penings which have occurred in
the Philippines at the very moment
when the eyes Of the world have
been turned in that direction, what
may we expect with our coolie
slaves when public attention has
been diverted in another channel9

THE VALUE OF A MECHANIC.

than any other portion of the
globe. Besides, it grows every
crop needed for the substance

almost every necessity of the hui

u theatre for intelligent human en-
deavor as the South presents. A

most powerful factor in the pro-

thinks, provides for the unexpected,
multiplles his forces and dares the

Parents meetings are n popular
and most beneficial feature Of many
schools in Germany aud in some of
the large cities in the United
States. These gatherings are ar
ranged in which parents and teach
ers meet together with the object
Of promoting cordial relation be-.
tween them, aud chatting and con
suIting with each other about the
children. Such a plan would IN
doubtedly be Of inestimable value
here If the parents would heartily
cooperate in making these meet
lngs n success. Did it ever occur
to ven in many instances there is
n big gap between parent and
teacher and the child realizes the
situation thoroughly aud the result
is repeated eases truancy, tardiness,
inattentou to school work, the
pupil knowing that for all these
delinquencies the necessary aud
all-important written excuse" is
always forthcoming, the parent
never stopping to ask the child
why he was tardy or absent on that
patience in such cases has been ex-
hausted on account of such bald
faced duplicity, and the child has
been sent home or denoted, then
the parent wakes up and considers
the school authorities very arbi
trary in the matter. If the parents
are as diligent in business rs they
are in sending their children to
school, they would be "closed OUT
inside Of week. This condition
would not exist if parent and
teacher understood each other, and
both worked together for one com:
mon end. Do you think it worth
while to have these "Parent Meet

SENSE OF TOUCH

The leading education experts,
not only in America but every
where else, are now insisting that
manual training shall go into the
schools in all the grades from the
lowest to the highest. 1t is not
only question Of learning to do
by doing, but the question of de-
veloping oil the brain area while
the child is going to school. This
can be done only when the sense
of touch plays an equal part with
the sense of sight and the sense of
hearing in the education Of child.
1t is now known as physiological
fact, that the brain area which
must be developed through the
sense of touch is much larger than
the brainarea developed blythe sense
of sight or the sense Of hearing -

MULTIPLYING SCHOOL HOUSES


In his first message to the Iegis.
lature Gov. A. j. Montague of
Virginia devotes much attention to
the question of good schools and
good roads. He forcibly states
some wholesome truths in regard
to the rural schools, and what he
says applies in large measure to
every state in the South
"The tendency to multiply the
rural Schools" he says, "has
greatly impaired the efficiency
of the system We need stronger
schools with longer terms. Such
schools will command better teach
ars aud admit Of the classification
necessary to the best educational
results. 1t is quality rather than
quantity that counts in education.

spects cost and efficiency, to trans
