Yachtsmen who have had an oppor-

unanimously of the opinion that the

was treating me, he failed to do me any

account of my poor health, but contin-

These are sad facts; but facts,
nevertheless. I think no n who is
familiar with u conditions will dis
pute them. / trust that in other
parts of the country the schools are
ready to begin this work at once; but
with us two things must be done
first: We must make more adequate
provisions for our schools, insure
longer terms, with better equipments
and broader courses of study; and
we must train our teachers.
That these things may soon be
done I earnestly hope. Some prog
ress is being made; but there is yet
much to do. With the Southern peo-
pie the teaching Of the elements Of
agricultural science in the public
schools is, and can be at present,
only a dream of the future. Yet, in
view of the present interest in edu-
cetionaI affairs, I expect to live to
see II become a reality.

MOTrIStOWn, Ienn.
Much is being said at present about
the d~esirability of teaching the fun
damental principles of agriculture in
the rural public schools. It is asked,
with much reason, why the school
should not assist in preparing the
pupils for their life work, as well by
teaching them the processes of plant
growth as by teaching them history
or literature. Nature study of all
kinds is being made much of, and it
is argued that the practical side of
it should not be neglected.
To all this I most c~heerfully sub
scribe; but I wish to call attention
to a few things which have not been
emphasized in the current discus
siOns, many of which are theoretical
rather than practical.
The first point [ wish to make is
that our public schools must not be
made mere schools of primary agri-
culture. In the ideal system, agri-
culture would be taught in the col
Iege, after the pupil had acquired a
sound basis of general culture, just
as law or engineering is taught to-
day, Unfortunately, however, very
few Of the boys and girls of a coun-
try school ever reach college, or even
the high school. It is desirable that
all should know something of the
forces of nature with which they
must deal all their lives; and hence
the demand that this information be
given IN the public schools.
But you cannot teach agriculture
10 a boy who knows nothing else;
II IS too intricate and complex a
science for that. So, unless it can
De introduced without lessening the
I'M which the average'country stu
uent devotes to reading and writing,
10 grammar and arithmetic, it had
UeI'er not be introduced at all. These
1lngS, the recognized foundations of
al education, must be taught first.
Ii Inc public schools you can hope
anyway to teach only the most ele-
Ientary principles of soil formation,
VI plant growth, of animal nutrition

time to cram the pupil with these
lungs until he has learned to read.

ssuoy OF his calling and to be of
sI'ice' PRINCIPLES rather than facts
~uS' be emphasized.

public schools will not be taught ag-
riculture, strictly speaking; he will
merely be instructed in the funda-
mentals of soil physics and botany,
of ~meterology and animal physi-
ology. As he must know grammar
before he can study literature, or how
to write before he can learn book
keeping, so must he know these
things before he can enter the study
of agriculture proper. For these
reasons the rural schools must be ex-
pected, not to make farmers, but only
to give possible farmers some idea
of the natural laws which govern
their operations. '
Again, if it were possible for the
public schools in the country to be-
come schools of agriculture, it would
not be desirable that they should.
Every boy who lives in the country
will not grow up a farmer; and there
is no reason for examining the boy
who is bent on becoming a lawyer
or a mechanic with something which
will be of no value to him in his
life's work. Especially is this true
when such a course would mean the
neglect of things which he does need
to learn. 1t is well, however, that he
should know that everyone who de-
sires to be well informed, whether
preacher, banker, trust-promoter, So
ciety-leader, or what not, should know
something of the formation and com
position of the soil beneath his feet,
of the growth and development of
the plants and animals which clothe
and feed him, and of the relations
all these sustain to each other. No
one who is ignorant of all this should
dare to consider himself well inform
ed. Yet those who have anything
more than a vague idea of these
things are a small part of even the
supposedly educated people. These
things should be taught to every boy
and girl who is able to understand
them, whether country-bred or city
bred.
To sum uD the foregoing para
graphs: There is great need of in
struction in the great, fundamental
laws of nature by which we are all
governed. This instruction should
be given in the school-room; and in
the country it may, be made to have
a practical bearing on farm life and
work. It should not be given, how
v before the pupil is able to n
derstand it; and a proper under
standing of it means that the pupil
must be able to investigate and
think for himself. It must not be
so enlarged upon in rural schools as
to interfere with those primary stu
dies which are necessary to any edu-
cation at all.
Of more immediate Importance
than any of these, is the fact that,
in the South at least, few rural
schools are prepared to teach these
things at all. Three things prevent.

Profit in ChicOry


The cultivation of chicory In this
country as a commercial fertilizer is
rapidly increasing, though confined
largely to sections of Michigan, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Maine and Nebraska.
The yield per acre is said to be from
six to ten tons, but with good culture
as much as fifteen tons may be grown.
Inc average price is Sc to So per ton,
ana the cost Of growing ranges from
$50 to $40 per acre 1t is stated that
under normal conditions the profit
from chicory is somewhat greater than
from corn or wheat. It's cultivation is
similar to that required for beets. and
the same may be said also as to har-
yesting. The roots are taken to the
factory, and when washed are cut into
pieces about One-half inch in diameter
and roasted. ChicOry has a value as
a forage crop due to its ability to pro-
duce we'll upon almost barren soil, but
when fed in considerable quantities to
mich cows it imparts bitter flavor
to the milk. Swine will eat the root
and thrive on it, and both the roots
and leaves may be fed to horses

Bronchitis In Calves.

The wet season, in many sections Of
the country, is responsible for the
trouble in calves, known as lung
worms. The worm Is small and
thread-like and gets into the windpipe
of the calf, The trouble is thought to
be due largely to the calves drinking
from ponds, which contain the eggs Of
the worms and also from pasturing on
wet grounds. There is, at present, no
remedy which may be relied upon, SO
that the best plan is to prevent the
trouble, if possible, and this can best
be done by keeping the calves in a
warm, dry barn and seeing that the
water they drink is from q well and
as pure as possible. They should not
be allowed to pasture until the grass
is dry, nor should wet grass be fed to
them. The plan of injecting oil of
turpentine into the windpipe is not
very satisfactory, but it is the best
thing known, and in some cases has
proved satisfactory. : Indianapolis
