That School Appropriation.

The News has been asked to raise
its voice in protest of the apprOpria-
tion made by the city council last
Tuesday night for the purpose of con-
tinuing the city schools month be-
yond the term fixed and paid for by
the county school commissioners.
1t is asked to make protest e. on
the ground that the appropriation is
illegal, (2) because it is solely in the
interests Of the teachers, and (3) be-
cause the schools are not what they
should be.
AS those requests were made by an
old citizen of Palatka, one whose
standing entities him to respectful
consideration, the News proposes to
give the reasons why it must decline
to comply.
Two or three lawyers We're sought
with view to getting an opinion as
to the legality of the appropriation,
but, unfortunately, they were out of
the city. The News is therefore
obliged to rely on the common sense
aspect of the question as the editor
sees it.
The general revenue fund of the
city is in the hands, or custody, of
the board of aldermen. That board
has the legal right to spend the fund
i'll hand for city purposes. If it can
use the fund to repair a street, to hire
extra policemen, to advertise our ad-
vantages, it also has the right to hire
teachers. That is sense. The people
are generally in favor of a longer
term OF school. Money spent for the
education of our children is not
burned"
In a narrow sense the appropriation
is in the interest of the teachers, but
the news has yet to hear of a public
school teacher who wore out more
than one pair of scissors year clip
ping coupons from bonds obtained
from professional savings They are
of the class of laborerS who are
worthy of their hire.
1t is just possible that our schools
are not what they should be, but the
News ventures the opinion that the
schools vi falatka rank as high as
any of the graded schools in the state.
They are under the direction of an
educator who knows his business.
There are educators and there are
teachers. Some of the latter barely
squeeze through their examinations
and get job from the school board
to fill in the time at so much per
month until they can secure some
thing better, Educators are those
who enter upon the work as life
profession from very love of it. Prof.
|. L. Hines, head of the Palatka
schools, is of this class. No man who
is judge of men can talk with him
All hour and not become profoundly
impressed with that fact. He is Il
student of methods, a pedagogist
from the heel of his boot to the crown
of his hat. His work speaks for him.
His class of graduates last year is an
example. These young men and
women walked out of Putnam's High
School and all, save one, have entered
colleges without other examination
than that to which they were subject
ed here. That one exception entered
Annapolis with large class after a
rigid special examination, and that
he ranked highest in that large class
is in measure due to the training he
received under L 1. Hines of this
city.
The News must concur in the ap-
preparation. Indeed it would go a
step further and recommend that the
council "blow" itself even more in
the same direction.

brought the color to Polly's cheeks
when he gave her the pretty thread
basket with a knot of class colors on,
and her grandmother supplied the
gold thimble which fitted a pocket
concealed in one of the loops of rib
bon. Into the basket Polly is putting
both coarse and fine black thread as
well as white, buttons for shoes, I'M
derwear and gloves, a paper of need
les, darning cotton, roll of tape and
scissors. This basket will go in the
big box along with a couple of quaint
candlesticks, a small alarm clock and
two or three inexpensive vases; but

In her trunk. Mrs. Lewis is wisely
putting in as many "extras" as pos
sible in the box, such as two dozen
wax candles and several boxes of
timed goods, knowing well that there
will be many demands on Polly's linn
tied allowance and the expense of
sending them now with other things
is very little. I think when Polly be-
gins to unpack this box at school,
she will sbravely swallow the lump in
her throat as she takes out packages,
until she comes across the chafing-
dish, which is her mothers surprise
for her big girlie,-and then,-well,
We all know Polly is going to be a

Polly Away at School.

Polly has chosen a soft, dull green
as the color scheme for her room,
reasoning that it will harmonic with
any color furnishings her unknown
roommate will have. So in the box
which will be sent onIby freight next
week there will be three cushions to
tuck at her back when she is cram
ming for exams" There are half
a dozen framed pictures to be packed
in the box-one a water-color sketch
of Polly's home done by her chum.
As Polly will have to furnish her
own bedding, she has in readiness for
this big box a pad covered with I'M
bleached muslin, a pair of blankets,
a lightweight comfort of pretty
chaIlie and a Marseilles Counterpart,
all fitted to a single bed. Mattress,
pillows and linen are furnished by
the college.
Aunt Louise made Polly dotted
Swiss bureau and washstand covers
with splasher to match edged with
Val lace, headed with beading,
through which is run delicate green
baby ribbon. Cousin Carrie made
the two cushions of green silk cover
ed with the same dotted Swiss and
edged with lace-one long and lar
row with all sorts and sizes of pins
stuck in, spelling Margaret, and the
other, a dainty doll in silk dress and
flannel petticoats, in which were fas-
tened three sizes of safety pins.
Grandma made the pretty mending
bag of green and white ~cretonne, and
Cousin Dee gave Polly a dainty
table cover for the study table. Ted

as sure as they are neglected until
cool, damp weather comes on, your
houses viii be damp and not in the
best of condition for the winter care
of poultry. Always keep in advance
with everything, if you wish a sue
cessful outcome from your labor.
The slowest of all the fowls to
moult are those that have the con
tinual run of the farm the entire
time. Fowls kept yarded and overfat
r about equally slow. There is no
way to hasten the moult of fowls that
have the continual run of the farm
except to keep them confined in the
house or yard for at least two weeks,
with no grain ration at all, and at
the expiration of this time, turn
them out and feed them all they will
eat, In addition to what they pick up
about the farm. But in doing this
they must be fed those kinds of foods
that belong to the heterogeneous group.
The protein that we hear so much
about in foods furnishes the sub
stance for building up the working
machinery of the body and the pro-
ducing of milk, eggs, wool and feath-
ers; so when we are lending our aid
to the production of a new coat of
feathers, we must feed strongly of
those foods which contribute to the
u~pbuilding of the tissues of the body,
muscle and feathers. We are often
told to feed different kinds of pow
ders and condiments to aid fowls in
moult. IF you will take equal parts
of cotton-seed meal, linseed meal and
pea meal, and mix them together, you
wilHAave a very good powder to aid
in the moult of your fowls. This
may be mixed in their mash food to
the amount of about one pint to 25
hens; make the rest of the mash of
equal parts, by measure, of ground
oats and wheat bran, add to this
enough wheat -four to make the mash
cling together, and mix as dry as
possible, so as to be fed in a crumb-
ling mass.-Country Gentleman.

uinter. Every one should begin t.
think about it and prepare for it
coming.
When you visit the fall fairs, ex
anime all the poultry and learn what
;mnrovements have been made; IL
this way you will be better able to Sc
Iect the best of your own fOcks.
If you are going to be short Of
Green food this winter for you1
nouItry. save every beet, turnip
mangeI. all the small potatoes and
everything that will do for a green,
food substitute. Save everything OF
this kind and put them in the root
cellar. Carrots are splendidsso are
the large Spanish radishes.
A late short cut of either meadow
grass or clover will be good if nicely
cured and put away. This can be run
through the cutting box in winter
and used for the poultry when the
crop of other green stuff is limited.
Nothing is better than this mixed
with some clover or alfalfa hay, all
cut short in the cutting box and
thrown in the litter for them during
the winter months.
Keep an eye out for some mangels
if you have not grown any yourself.
These are always cheap and excellent
for the hens during the winter
months. They r easily kept in bar
rels in any cellar or a building where
they will not freeze, and when they
are cut into two parts and given to
the hens early in the morning, the
latter delight to pick the entire meat
out Of the shells or rind of the
mangel. They make a fine substitute
for green food, and should always
be supplied early in the morning, just
as much as the fowls will eat up in
the day, leaving none to be frozen at
night.
Begin to select all the best of your
eariy-hatched pullets to keep for your
Wlnter-egg producers. Look over the
old hens, select the best of them that
are not over a year old, and feed
lnem tor an early moult; Gull out all
Inc Old hens that you wish to sell,
1atten them as fast as possible, and
get them into the market when most

as lnere are not nearly so many old

many or more than last season, but
