TRUSTEES MEET.
Schools Crowded In Lower Grades I'M
pOrtant Resolution Adopted.

At a meeting Of the trustees of the
graded schools held this week the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That after October Is, of
each scholastic year no pupil will be ad-
mitted to the first grade.
The school is now crowded, especially
in the lower grades. There are now
fifty pupils in the first grade, and if
pupils are admitted all along during the
year it will necessitate the formation
of another class and one class with fifty
pupils is as much as one teacher can
handle and the funds at the disposal of
the trustees will not permit the employ
ment of another teacher. In fact the
present teachers should he paid at least
ten dollars per month more than they
receive.
The fact is the trustees should raise
the age limit for admission to the first
grade to at least seven years and it
would probably be better still to make
it eight years.
And pupils at the mill school should
not be taken beyond the fifth or sixth
grade and thus given better attention
to the pupils from these grades down,
and let pupils who have finished these
grades in this school come to the Boun-
Diary street school. There are now, we
understand, only nine pupils in the mill
school above the fifth grade. The
higher grades at the Boundary street
school are not crowded and these nine
could receive better advantages by the
transfer and the pupils below in the
mill school would also receive mere at
tention and receive the benefit of the
transfer.
The Hoge school should stop with the
sixth grade, and instead of having the
grades so crowded, divide the pupils
among the teachers from the sixth
grade down and give these people that
education which will fit them the better
to perform the duties of citizenship.
There is very little use to teach them
Latin and algebra and the higher
branches. Better put that energy on
an effort to implant those things neces-
sary to fit them for the discharge of
their duties to society and to the State.
Prof. Stuckey has the schools well
in hand and is making very favorable
impression upon our people and success
fully managing the schools.

Dear Sir: "Three-quarter paint" is q
good phrase for the best outside of De-
voc.
,,, Devoe is the standard; mark it 100.
The neXt-bcst-there are several not far
apart-are three-quarter paints; YOU
may mark them 65 to Devoe's 100.
The bulk of the paints in market are
40 OF so or 60; few are better than 60
few are worse than 30.
How do they act? They cover from
one to three-quarters as much as Devoe
and they last from one to three quarters
as long as Devoe
What are they worth? The same rule
don t hold: it costs more to put on some
pants than they are worth; they are
not worth anything: the "put-on'' costs
TWO or three times aS much as the paint.
Yours truly,

First Cost Not the ChcapcSt.

The first cost of an article does not
necessarily determine it's cheapncss.
For instance, a sack of "Clfton" flour
may cost you little more than other
so-called patent flours, but it will be
cheaper to you in the end. Why? Be-
cause it will not only make more bread
to the sack, but will take less lard and
soda to make it. Order sack Of "Clif-

Corn for seed should always be Sc

of the field, for there the plant has
formed the habit of appropriating
more plant food than has that grown

IMPROVING PASTURES.
Il Caa Ne Dene without Mach Ex.
Desse If tAe Systen Here De-
serlbea IL Carried Out.

Very few pastures, compared with
the total number, supply anything
like the feed that they would II
given proper care. With the increas-
ing difficulty of obtaining good farm
help, the Importance of good pass
ture is made even greater than in
the past. There are three general
causes of unpr.ductive pastures, two
of which should be looked after at
once. They are too close grazing
of the pasture, poor stand Of pas
ture plants and failure to keep
down the weeds that ought not to
take up the moisture and plant food
that should 60 to make pasture. but
which by their rank and overshadow-
ing growth tend to smother out the
valuable plants. The first cause is
often responsible for the other two.
By continued close cropping the
plants are weakened in vitality and
severe dry, hot spell of weather
in the summer or cold with or with
out covering of snow in winter re-
suits in the death of many of the
plants. Even with fall of snow q
field eaten close and smooth is apt
to be swept here and the crowns
of the plants left exposed. The first
thing that should be done now, be-
fore the ground gets settled and
hard to work up, is to go over and
thoroughly disc some grass and
clover seed into all thin patches.
Oftentimes it is well to add some
oats or other small grain that will
grow up and serve as q protection
for the more delicate plants while
they are getting start. This
growth will also add materially to
the pasture supply while the clover
and grass are obtaining foothold.
The next step toward increasing the
productiveness Of the pastures is to
arrange to keep the stock off from
them until the grass gets a good
start. If these plants are kept grazed
right to the crown they are so
weakened as to make but feeble
growth and the amount of pasture
produced will be small. Most plants
would be killed if never allowed to
accumulate any more leaf surface
than is possible with the plants in
the majority of pastures. Then be
careful also to mot Craze too close
~ the latter part of the season:
allow sufficient development of foli-
age to store up in the roots good
supply of nourishment for starting
them off early and vigorously anoth-
er spring. Grow some soiling crop
with which to supplement the pas
lures this season If necessary in or
der to do this. With such treatment
you will be surprised how much
earlier your pastures will come on
and how much greater the supply
Of feed they will furnish. = Prairie

the High Livers Of New York
and New Orleans.

Grass hoppers and snails and such
small deer are supposed to be con-
fined to the dietary list of the Dig
ger Indians; it may therefore be q
little surprising to learn that the
most fastidious buyers in New York
consume about 10000 snails a week
during the winter, when they are in
season. New Orleans is another
great market for them, and during
the height of the season from $4,000
to $4,000 week are brought into the
country. They come from Burgundy
and the Bordeaux districts of France,
where all summer long they disport
themselves ,on the grape leaves that
form their sole diet. Old VINEYARDS
are given over to, them, and the snails
prove remunerative though not
hustling crop. With the first frosts
the snails crawl into their shells.
put up their storm doors, and retire
for the winter. They are then
shipped to market. packed in sawdust
or bran to prevent breaking the
shells, and kept on ice. for If the
temperature becomes higher the
snails pop their heads out to see
whether spring has come, and are
thus damaged in transit. They sell
for $3.50 per 100, and usually retail
for about so cents dozen. They
are cooked in variety of ways, but
are most frequently served in the
shell. on platter having little de-
pressions to hold them, appearing or
the bill of fare as esargots a Ia
Bordelaise. Snails are now devised
for consumptives, it being believed
that they are SO assimilated as to
replace waste tissue, but this is no
new idea; in England century or
more ago it was customary to order
snail diet for people affected with
wasting diseases. Common or gar
den snails were taken raw or in
scalded milk, and this practice is still
common in rural England. = Rural
