FARMERAND PLANTER
EDUCATION OF FARMERS.
yarfou. Reasons Why the Farmer
Needs Education to Insure sue
eess In His Calling.

The word education" as commonly
used refers to mental training which
our children get in schools. colleges
| and universities. This education is
derived mainly from books and lee
lures. But there are two other inn
portant sources which we think
should enter into the discussion of
this subject. These are experience
and observation. And it is a proper
mingling of these three that gives the
| ~well-rounded education. While 1t is
true that the science and theory
| should sometimes come first, it is
| equally important thai the applica-
ton of these theories and principles
should go hand in hand with them.
1t is a great mistake to cram the
head with a vast mass OF theoretlc
and scientific information gained
| from books, without at the same time
| giving sufficient experimental appli-
cation to give the student power to
digest and appropriate this meal
thoroughly.
The Kind the Farmer leeds
The education which the farmer
| needs furnishes an emphatic lllustra-
ton of the truth. 1t is important for
the farmer to know that blowing
should be done. and why it should be
done. These he can learn from books
and the schools. But it is equally
important that he should know how
it should be done and when it should
be done. This he can only get from
experience. 1t is also important for
him to know the comparative results
when this blowing is properly and
when improperly done. This he could
learn after awhile from his w ex
| perience; but he can certainly learn
it a great deal quicker from other
mems experience, without waiting a
long period of years to work it out
by his own labor.
Farming is not a new occupation.
1t is as old as the race, ~antedates the
| dawn of history, and is as extensive
as the human race And yet, for
want of intelligent use of experience
and observation, it, has remained
HUGH tHe SdIlc II WIS o.Vo" ySoiS "oO-
Schools have attempted to teach it,
but failed. Within the last half cen
fury this new idea has taken posses
sion and wonderful progress has been
made.
Recognizing this great underlying
fact, our w government has provld-
ed for an Agricultural and Mechan-
ical college in each state and terri
tory; and she has amended this pro-
vision by addition of a fund for an
experiment station and farm, also,
to be conducted in each state and
territory. She has also provided a
bureau of information at Washington.
where the vast fund of information
worked out at the several experiment
stations is collected, digested and
published in popular form for the
| benefit of the farmers.

killing Grass

NthAhhS oFHSS
He does not pillow simply to kill
weeds and grass, but to put the soil
in such condition that more grass and
weeds might grow. But he kills the
grass and weeds to prevent them
from stealing the plant food which he
has made available for his crop. 1t IS
also important for him to know that
this blowing should not be done when
the soil or subsoil is wet; because if
stirred when wet and then dried by
action of the sun and wind, the soil
is made into millions of little sun
up the plant food in them, and which
are utterly worthless to the growing
crop. The ignorance along this line
is appallingly apparent in the washed
and worn and quilted fields which we
find all other this country. Had our
fathers and forefathers known the
value of and necessity for deep plow-
ing, these gullies would not have been
here, these worn and exhausted fields
would not have been here, these sec
ond growth pine orchards would not
have been all over this country.
Making the Farm Richer.
Proper cultivation of the farms
would have made them grow richer
instead of poorer; and the old field
would have been the rich field, instead
of the poor field; and the old farm
would have been more desirable than
the now farm, because it would have
been more productive, cleared of all
stumps and stones and other OBJ
structions, better prepared for the
use of all improved agricultural ma
chinery. 1t would have been more
desirable because from ear to year
the owner would have added better
improvements, more desirable build
ings, better stock and mSre cattle.
Habits of P1ants.
The farmer should be educated that
he may understand the nature and
life habits of all the plants which he
may wish to grow. Knowing this. he
would better understood when to
plant, how to plant, and what to
plant. His farming would become
less a matter of experiment and
guess-work, and more a matter of
certainty and calculation. Knowing
the wants of the plants as to the food
for their proper development. and
knowing al the same time the capaci-
~ of his soil for supplying these
needed elements, he would know
whether or not it were necessary for
him to supply any of these elements
| from outside sources, and If SO what
| elements, and from what sources to
| supply them.

CH1MNEYs OF CONCRETE.
"~seFaal NOW Used in Combination
with steel in the Con ut ruction Of
Lofty SmOkest0cks.

One of the latest uses Of the com.
, bination of steel and concrete for
| oullalhg purposes was exemplified at
Los Angeles, Cal, few months ago.
An enormous chimney for the power
station of IA number of electric roads
was constructed of that mat erial, re-
ports the New York Tribune. The
height Of this chimney from the base
| (Which was Is feet below ground) was
! lso feet. The lower portion was Is
1eet square, outside measurement, but
at an elevation of 81 feet the structure
assumed cylindrical form and had
! diameter of Is feet two inches.
Because unequal heating of various
parts might lead TO unequal expansion.
resulting in fractures (or at least un-
necessary strains), and perhaps for
other reasons also. it was decided to
adopt double wall system. The outer
shell begins with thickness of nine
inches just above the square portion.
later gets along with six inches and
finishes with five inches For the in.
ner shell the thicknesses at CORE.
SPoi'A'ihR ViSAdtlolS are nNe, four Inu
one-half and four inches. In conse.
quence of the reduction in both walls
the space between them increases
with height. 1t begins with II inches
and ends with 16 inches. For the outer
wall the ingredients of the concrete
were mixed in this proportion: Cali.
fornia portland cement, one part:
sand, two parts, and fine broken stone.
four parts. The formula for the inner
shell was l:2:6. Perhaps the most
common ratio for concrete is 1:3:5 hut
engineers vary it frequently to suit
special conditions. Employing slight.
ly different compositions for different
parts OF the same work is a practice
often followed.
In order to give greater strength tn
the structure twisted steel bars were
arranged in the concrete, both vertic.
ally and horizontally, in accordance
with a we'll known patented system.
On the outside one cannot detect the
metal. but it is there.

WOMAN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that

Jewels form magnet of mighty pow

1t woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her fortify
herself against the insiduous conse-
quences coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the regular use of DR..
Boschee's German Syrup. It will
promptly arrest consumption in it's ear

MORE THAN FIVE SENSES,
The Numb Possessed by Man EX-
ceeded by Those Of the Lower
Animals.

Many of our scientists, until quite g
recently have been reluctant to admit
that number of the lower animals
possibly possess other senses than
ours. So much new and undeniauly
at1irmatory evidence is. however. now
being offered on this point, that
there can be no longer any substan-
tial reason for doubling that the five
senses man imserfectly exercises are
by no means all that are possible to
sentient creatures, says the Scientific
American.
One such sense not possessed by
human beings, but to greater or
less degree almost universally pres
ent in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish
and insects, is what perhan. may be
called lie sense of local. :ation. 1t

Its sole use, to find desired spot 1t
is evidently closely connected with an
instructive and perfect memory of
distance and direction. That the
homihg pigeon exercises it to some
extent. though undoubtedly aided by
the landmarks it recognizes, is in
disputa'le; that the honey bee has

not, after the careful experiments of
Albreeht Bethe in Germany. be

an X-ray sense. not only among Eu.
