Ninety-fve school teachers in the
city of Minneapolis have handed in
their designations to take effect at the
holiday season, and the School hoard
of that city is facing a famine of
school teachers. It is said that the
teachers are complaining of the hard
and arduous work which their posi-.
tons force upon them and they can
not stand the mental and physical
strain. Fearing that many others
will resign the superintendent of
schools has issued instructions to the
principals OF the different schools to
make the work as light as possible. on
the teachers. 1t is the same old story,
that of examining and ramming in our
modern methods of education. The
school teacher is not the only one who
is unable TO stand the strain, There
are many scholars, hundreds of them.
thousands of them throughout the
country every year who fall down in
the treadmill of education. A lot of
fool professors who are responsible
for the course of studies and school
work are the gentlemen who must be
looked to to correct the present evils.
Our present school system in many re-
spects is like a hydraulic press into
which the children and teachers alike
are placed and submitted to the con-
densing process. The result is that
when they are released there is, not
much left of them. This great wrong
to scholars and teachers will 60 on
until the people demand a change for
more common sense and more time
and thoroughness in school work.
What matters it if the boy or girl does
not graduate at sweet sixteen. We
are showing our children ahead these
days as if they only had very few
years to live and when they reach
the age of twenty-five they begin to
think they are growing old. AS a
matter of fact many of them grow old
long before that time. Away with all
such foolish notions and let US return
to the slow, easy and sure pace that
does not kill.

To Roast a Turkey,

A writer in the Duluth News-Tribune
says:
g A word as to the position of the
bird in the pan: The old fashioned
way was to roast it with the back to
the pan, all the delicate favors of the
dressing and the fine juices of the bird
settling down into the bony regions
OF the fowl, while the breast, which
should be the daintiest morsel, was dry
and tasteless. Too much was sacri-
feed to obtain the desirable brown
turkey breast. A better way is to
leave the bird upon it's back only the
first half hour of it's cooking, then
place it breast downward and let it re-
main thus until five minutes before it
is taken from the oven, when brisk
degree of heat will make it as brown
as one would care to have it,

KILL VINES, KILL BLIGHT.
Some Instances Where it Appears This Did
the Business.

the Business.
A. G. Larson has written a letter to
Prof. 5. B. Green of the agricultural
college OF Minnesota in regard to the
treatment of the potato vines for scab.
MIR. Larson is a graduate of the
school of agriculture. having finished
his course in that school in the year
1901 and he is quite a student of
agricultural matters. His letter to
Prof. Green was along some very
original lines of thought and research,
|occasloned as many original things
are by some mere incident or accident.
Last fall it was noticed in many places
where the potato vines had been COW
cred up or cut down in the ordinary
process of field work that the potatoes
from those vines never showed any
signs of the rot. AS Mr.. Larson SAYS
in one field where a farmer was cut
ting grain the bull wheel of the mower
passed over the outside row of pota-
toes. This of course was after the
blight had struck the vines and they
were looking pretty sick in. conse-
quence. The farmer noticed that in
that row of potatoes there was not an
unsound potato. Another case was
cited where by accident a lot of straw
was thrown over some potato vines
and allowed to remain there and the
farmer discovered to his establishment
that the potatoes from that part of
the field were nice and sound. But
Mr.. Larson called the attention of
Prof. Green to case where farmer.
A. W. Anderson living on route 2, cut
off the vines of his potatoes that were
on low ground. This he did about
the time the blight appeared and he
said that the cutting of the vines
saved his crop.
A. N, Holm returned home about
the time the blight struck this section
and he remarked to a Union man as
he stepped from the train that he won
dered if pulling off the tops of the
potatoes would do any good. It is
not known whether Mr.. Holm did this
or not: he certainly has a very good
crop of potatoes at any rate.
Mr.. Larson will probably get a
reply from Prof. Green in a short time
and the Union will give it's readers
the benefit of Mr.. Larson IS timely cor
respondence regarding this very vital
matter.
From a theoretical and practical
standpoint it would seem that the
treatment of the crop in this manner
at the time the blight appears would
be OF great benefit to the crop, as the
process of the decay of the potato can
be very easily explained since the
minute the devouring microbes of the
blight strike the leaves and vines and
poison them the germ. whatever it is,
is carried down into the heart of the
potato. It is just the same as blood
poisoning in a human being. Unless
it is checked in it's course the whole
body will become affected and death
will ensue. ..

A GALLOWAY SALE.
Marks Big Herd of Galloways to be Sold
at December Sale.


at December Sale.
The coming sale of the E.. Mark
Live Stock Co. which will occur on
Saturday; December Sd, will be fea-
tured with Galloway attraction in
the shape of 124 head of fine thorough
bred and grade Galloway bulls, heif-
ers and calves which will be sold.
The E. Mark Live Stock Co. has now
one Of the finest herds of Galloways
in the State and for that matter in
the west. The stock is from the cele-
brated breeder of Galloways, E. H.
White of Estherville, Iowa, who is
faultless breeder and whose stock has
won many honors at the fairs of the
west. The latest prize animal that Mr.
Mark has added to his herd is that of
fine two-year-old Galloway COW just
received this week from E. II. White at
the worlds fair at St. Louis where
the pretty animal won second honors
in her class and in field of COMPETE
tors representing the best picks of
Galloways from all over the country.
The COW weighs l, 400 pounds, and has
the long black fur-like coat of hair
which distinguishes the thoroughbred
Galloway, the hide of which makes
such excellent robes. The COW that
Mr.. Mark has received possesses all
those points denoting thorough and
true breeding. It is low down and
blocky and would attract attention
anywhere. In the herd Of Galloways
which Mr.. Mark has at the present
time are a large number of thorough
bred animals while the balance are all
high grade stock. He has just
brought them in from pasture and not y
one of them but what looks as if it
had come from a good feed lot ~
The Galloways are we'll adapted for
the northern chimes and it must be
remembered that they are hardy
class of cattle, being able to stand
more cold and pasture rustling than
any other breed of cattle They ma
ture. early and a yearling calf will
weigh eight or nine hundred pounds
while a yearling calf of the ordinary
breeds will not make the showing that
a Galloway does. They are good
breeders and are good milk yielders.
Sam Tilley of Greenbush who a year
and a half ago bought twenty-five
head of Galloways of Mr.. Mark has
derived fine profit from the calves
and the sale Of milk. His Princeton
patrons who have used the butter he
has made from the Galloway cream
admit that it is fine grade and the
yield of milk is large from the black
beauties.
The sale of these Galloways will no
doubt attract a large number of buy
ers from all over the country. Of
course the Galloway herd will not be
the only stock that will be offered at
the sale as there will be large num-
Der of native and western horses. and
live stock of all kinds.
Mr.. Mark says that the sale will be
the best he ever held at Princeton
and there certainly will be enough
live stock attractions at the sale to
make it a big one.

Confucius was the guiding star of their
