HENS ON THE FARM.
A Source of Profit That is Often Over
looked

Poultry keeping on the farm, if con-
Quoted at ALL has often been conducted
in Il haphazard way. In the barnyard
the average farmer has running a few
fowls of all sorts of combinations. pick
ing up their food by chance, and half
of his chicks are drowned in the often
sive pool of liquid manure that gener-
ally gathers around the stables. He
does not know how many hens he has
or what they yield His children are
gathering the eggs as Il pastime sun
day afternoon. The good housewife
seldom or never thinks of eggs unless
she needs a few for her pastry. There
are certainly farmers who never let Il
hen enter their minds, unless one en-
tiers their mouths at table. on farms
tended to, the income from it is only
serving as pin money for the farmers
wife. This is all wrong The farmer
must come to see that nothing on the
farm, comparatively, pays as poultry
does. How is it that people who have
not half the facilities for poultry-rais-
ing that the farmer has, make livirs
out of poultry raising alone? The fact
Is, that If the farmer paid as much at
tention to his poultry as he does to 9TH
err branches of his business, he would
and he would heartily second what AN
eminent poultry raiser has said, that
poultry raising, properly conducted,
would be able to lift every bit of mort
gage from American farms.

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
A TEACHERS LICENSE.
BROOKLYN Chronicle 1

WY do we compel proved and COM
petent school teachers to pass exam
nations and attend institute every
year? To be sure those with state GER
tficates usually escape, but they are in
small minority. The fault is in the
law and not in the county superinten-
dents. The law compels the superin-
dent to hold Institutes and the teach
ers to attend unless excused. But how
are the necessary funds for holding in
stitutes provided? The state gives $50
towards it. and the board of supervis-
ors may grant aid if they desire, but 1t
is almost unheard OF thing to do so.
and the main reliance is on institute
fees and certificate fees drawn from
the teachers themselves. The state
which can furnish free tuition to others
does not give free tuition to it's teach
ers; and a would be teacher must pay
a fee even to find out that he can
not teach. An effective reform in our
school system must comprise legisla-
ton to entirely take away the examna-
ton of teachers from the county SUI
perintendent, to make that office non
partisan by choosing superintendent
in some manner similar TO that in
which city superintendent are chosen,
to enlarge the superintendent powers,
and duties, so that he will be real SUI
pervisng officer for the rural schools,
and to place the licensing of teachers
on basis similar TO the licensing of
those who practice other professions.
While life certificates are Impractical
as long as most teachers are in the pro-
fession for SO brief a period, yet our
present system involves needless bad
gerng, annoyance and expense and
should be reformed out of existence.

The New York Sun is perplexed over
two serious questions now under dis

Welt is a dangerous candidate for the
presidency and whether great men ever
wear sidewhiskers.
The Pocahontas Record tells of a lake
nearby which threatens to break its
bounds and flood the contiguous farm
lands. A subscription paper has been
circulated and a force of men and
teams are at work making levees. The

SPEAKING OF GLASS HOUSES.

The American press has been I'M
sparing in its criticism of the Russian
government for having tolerated the
conditions leading up to the massacre
at Kishineff. The barbarous murder of
the helpless Hebrews IS a reflection
cution of race thru religious preju-
dice, the denial of its right to the pur-
suit Of happiness, its herding in certain
parts of the empire and its disfran-
chisement and debarmnnt from oppor-
tunities inherently the right of every
human being is stain on the Russian
civilization greater than the murder
done at Kishinef by crazed mob of
ignorant fanatics. No wonder the
American press and people rose in hor-
ror to stare at the spectacle.
But, after all, had not the American
press and people somewhat to stare at
at home? Are American skirts SO clean
and our civilization sufficiently sinless
to justify an attitude of irreproachabe
virtue? Is our civilization proof
against racial prejudice and mob muir
der? Is not denial of privileges and
the killing of men because of color
quite as culpable as on account of their
religion?
Within a week the Marshalltown high
school graduated colored boy whose

Corn Wheat.

A letter from Moscow, Idaho, states
that a firm near there is preparing a
100-acre tract for growing corn wheat,
under contract with a seed house that
has orders from farming communities
east of the Rocky Mountains. Altho
considerable quantities of this grain
have been raised in the Moscow section,
it has never been undertaken CONNER
cially before. Small tracts of the corn
wheat have yielded as much as 20 BUSH
els to the acre there. and it is pre-
dicted that at least 40 bushels an acre
can be raised during any average crop
year. A little of the grain that was
raised last year was used as a stock
and hog feed. and. it is claimed, proved
to be as good as corn and more fatten-
ing than any of the other grains.

busy for awhile. The owner of the
house wants damages for the window
from the Nonpareil. The Nonpareil
claims that it doesn't own the bog.
The boy in turn claims that he doesn't
own the dog. Moreover the dog didn't
belong to the family into whose mouse
it flew, and the assault cannot be re-
garded as directed against them The
guinea, being extremely deceased, cam
not be held responsible. In the mean

NO NEED TO ExAGGERATE.

If the American people have one de-
!. stinctive fault the national habit of
exaggeration has as valid claim to
! that pre-eminence as any other. Storm
stories are nearly always exaggerated.
Damage reports of every nature are
usually much too high III the amount
and nature of the damage. If minor
frost comes it Is magnitied by first re-
ports into killing freeze and conse-
auent calamity. A heavy wind is a tor
nado and twisting breeze becomes
cyclone.
An example of the national failing
may be found In the Chicago newspa-
pers of Sunday. The report of an aw-
full disaster at Topeka, where $50 hu-
man beings We're reported to have per-
ished in fire and flood. Mortified and
shocked their readers and saddened the
whole country. Later reports brought
different tale. The calamity was bad
enough without eXaggeration. Twenty
lives may have been lost. but the hor-
TlDle holocaust ehHioiAt'A W lily NtA'
cago press was eXaggeration pure ana
simple Doubtless the report came to
the Chicago papers very much as 1t was
published, but there is quite as little
doubt that from the editor who pre-
pared the copy to the head liner who
exploited the horror in scareheads not
one believed the report correct. 1t was
q good story and it Went.
Storm reports call for careful watch
fitness. The tendency is toward a big
storm and immense damage. Water
runs thru city three feet deep when
it cuts a corner of its corporate limits.
The general tendency to tell it all often
turns heavy rainfalls into cloudbursts
and boosts the estimated losses far
ing people who read the Chicago story
of the Topeka death loss discredited it.
There is sufficient disaster and loss
in the prevailing floods without making
bad worse. The suffering and loss of
life is almost unprecedented in the re-
gion affected. This loss is general. The
agricultural districts are gloomy at the
prospect of crop failure, business Is
largely suspended and business men are
nervous over the situation present and
probable. Thousands are homeless and
the thought of hundreds Of helpless and
houseless women and children exposed
without food to the rain and cold Is
really a greater horror tlen the DEATH
list at Topeka even had the first re-
ports of 150 dead proven to be correct.
1t is all very terrible and depressing.
Butt might be worse. The $50
dead at Topeka might have been true.
The homeless might have been trebled |
in number and all the casualties by |
flood and wind and fire been multiplied |

fering are to be rescued and the dam

LANGUAGES IN THE SCHOOLS.

a sharp rivalry between the French
and German languages for a place in
the curriculum of the New York City
schools mas been compromised by the
admission of both languages as elect
i've studies Each language has Its adj
vocates from one reason or another.
Both are entirely worthy of study for
the sake of their literature If the stu
dent has time and inclination. How
ever no language, except the mothdr
tongue, should be made an obligatory
study in the public schools.
/ There is but one practical reason for
the universal teaching of foreign Ian
guage in American public schools and
that is its utility. The public schools
| are primarily intended to make citizens,
not literature, and If a foreign language
| is TO be taught it should be the one
most useful from a strictly utilitarian
| point of view. No sentimental reasons
F, should be allowed to enter into its Sc
lection. German has been particularly
useful in this country from the vast
number of German settlers who are
prone to deal with Germans or those
who speak German. However, this
statement is quite as tue of Norwe
gians as of Germans, and if the inlmi-
grafton continues in its present volume
from southern Europe may become
true of Italians.
The foreign language which seems to
contain the greatest business possible
ties is Spanish There IS a strong de-
mand for Spanish-speaking clerks.
managers and statesmen for the Latin
American countries and our new pos
sessions which speak that tongue. The
trade development and opportunities
for advancement IN commercial en-
Payments are great in these countries
and certain to grow greater for years.
The practical utility of German and
French is narrow compared with Span
ish and its addition to the elective stud
les in our high schools might be made
with sense and advantage to students.
But, while teaching German, French or
Spanish, it should not be forgotten that
q knowledge of English and how to use
it is of first Importance.
