Oftentinles insects assume different
forms in different periods of their
lives. The tobacco worm changes
into the moth, the cabbage worm be-
comes the butterfly, and the wig
glers of the rain barrel develop into
MOSQUITOES. These are changes ia
miliar to the few but not known to
many. It is very easy and very mex
pensive to arrange in each school a
box in which the eggs may hatch in
to caterpillars and their life follow
ed to the perfect winged state. By
nature study the child not only learns
things which will be of value in his
farm life, but also gains the power
of observing closely and seeing ac-
curately. Along with these lines of
work each school RAY make a collec-
ton of insects, including every stage
from the egg to the adult. Similar
Iy, collections of weeds and weed
seeds should be encouraged. Many
of the fundamental facts regarding
contagion and isolation may be en-
phasized.
Nature study for the country
school should in every way possible
be made to bear upon the practical;
and thus many facts will be taught,
which, besides making life more
beautiful and interesting to the
farmer, will also increase the profit
from his crops. There is no diff
Guilty in introducing nature study in
the country school on account of ex-
pense, as nature is lavish in her fur
nishings; and the teacher will easily
find at his disposal all the material
needed. Little or no apparatus is re-
quired. The chief thing that is nee
essary is a little knowledge on the
part of the teacher as to right meth
DDS of teaching. Facilities nova
days abound, so that any teacher who
desires this knowledge may readily
secure it. All these and other sub
jects will be taught in the A. and M.
College Summer School next July;
and rural teachers will make with
their own hands out of simple mate
rails the necessary apparatus, will
peform by themselves the necessary
experiments, and will go over pre-
cisely the same ground of instruction
that they will afterwards repeat to
the country boys and girls in their
rural schools.
Nature study is to be one of the
greatest studies of the future. 1t is
to r]evolutioni1e country life: Cd by
making it more attractive and inter
esting to bright minds and giving
food for the highest mental culture ;
(2) by furnishing practical and use
full knowledge that will help the
farmer to secure wealth, comfort, in
dependence.

TALKS ON INDUSTRIAL EDUCA-
TON.
m.-Nature Study in Rural Schools

The country boy who is going to
spend his life on the farm should be
in close touch with nature, especial
ly with the plant, the animal, and
the soil. No education can come
closer to his daily life than that deal
ing in some way with nature. Ma
ture Study consists in studying and
observing the simple facts and ia
miliar phenomena of animal and
plant life.
Few people are familiar with even
the common plants about them, the
abundance of diseases among plants,
the life histories and habits of in
sects and birds, or with the laws that
control the moisture of the soil and
the life of the plant or animal. On
every hand we find facts of nature
with which the farmer is in most
dense ignorance and yet which have
a most distinctly practical bearing
on, success in farm life. Few people
understand thoroughly, or even cas-
ually, the methods of propagating
plants by cutting, budding, and
grating, or know how to increase the
yield of their crops by proper seed
selection. I believe that every coun-
try school should teach the boys and
girls how to raise a fruit tree from
the seed, how to bud or graft this
tree when it is one year old, how to
properly prune it in later years and
protect its foliage and fruit from in
sect or fungous enemies. Every school
should teach this, and every boy
should go home and practise it, until
the land is rich in orchards and vine
yards.
It is feasible in the country school
to teach boys and girls to recognize
harmful weeds and their seeds. Our
farmers lose much by buying impure
seed. One sample of timothy seed
on the floor of Chicago Board of
Trade contained 80 per cent impur-
ity; 288,O0O weed seeds of n kind
and 100000 of another kind, per
pound. Plant diseases abound on
the farm. Few of these are observed,
or their Importance recognized. The
oat smut cuts down the farmers
profit from Is to 40 per cent of the
value of the crop. This, if the farm
er knew how, could be prevented at a
cost OF 3 or 4 cents per acre. The
treatment is simple, and the country
school can teach it. Scab of Irish
potatoes, oftentimes very serious,
a be prevented at an expenditure
of 10 cents per acre. This simple
treatment has been known to double
the value of the yield. The fire
blight on the apple and pear, which
does such immense damage in our
State, can be controlled. The club
root of the cabbage and the peach
curl are other preventable diseases.
The country school should teach each
pupil to know and recognize these di-
seases, to estimate in the field their
cost, and to make experiments in the
field showing how they may be con-
trolled.

More About Post Check Currency.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
We beg to acknowledge publica-
ton in The Progressive Farmer of
your nice editorial upon postal cur
rency. This certainly should be read
by the committee having our bill I'M
der consideration. We will there
fore ask that you send marked copies
to them.
It is almost incomprehensible that
an idea of such intrinsic and plainly
apparent merit as the post check
should be received with hesitation by
the departments whose duty it is to
serve the convenience of the people.
Innovations in department methods,
however, are always slow of adop-
ton. This was the case with rural
free delivery, which was first OPP
posed, then f~alteringly tolerated and
is now acknowledged to be a magnif-
cent success. The post check agita-
ton has a far more powerful and
spontaneous endorsement than was
ever accorded rural free delivery, and
in consequence of this powerful sup
port, a much speedier adoption of
the measure is hoped for. To have
the smaller currency of the country
convertible into checks safe for mail
transmission would furnish a conve-
nience vastly greater than can posi-
bly, be afforded by any extension of
the cumbersome money order sys-
tenn. The money order was good in
it's day, but its day is past. It is too
slow for twentieth century business
methods. The public demands some
thing more expeditions and equally
as safe, and this demand the post
check supplies as does no other de-
vice. The agitation in it's favor is
progressing favorably and we trust
may result in successful legislation
this winter. Thanking you for your
support, and hoping it may continue,
we remain,
