EDUCATING FARM BOYS.
some Pertinent Reason. Why Practi.
cal Agriculture Should BE Taught
in Rural Schools.

Among those who have given the mat
ter attention, there are many who favor
the introduction of agricultural instruc-
ton into the rural school as means of
educating the farm boy to the farm
rather than sending him directly to the
institutions whose influence is in an
other direction.
In recent address, after commenting
upon the more or less popular idea of a
general education of more or less classic
foundation" Hon. James Wilson, Sec
rotary of agriculture, goes on to say, in
regard to the agricultural college and the
farm boy:
1.-The farmers boy who intends to be a
farmer, and his father, who intends to
have his son succeed him on the farm,
do not care anything about that kind of
education. My idea of education Is that
it should fit a young man for his future
life
Il would begin by teaching on agri-
cultural lines in the primary grades;
would continue this kind of education
through the secondary school; would
prepare the boys for the agricultural COL
lege, and they would go there as nat
urally as the boy goes to the pantry to
get some bread and butter, with sugar
on it. But Just now our system of edu-
cation draws the young people away
from the agricultural college into some
thing else"
That there is truth in this is evidenced
by the number of boys and young men
coming from the farm. and. after at
tending high schools and other institu-
lions of higher learning, go into other
pursuits than that of agriculture.
1t has been held by those most inter-
ested in keeping the boys upon the
farm that with the introduction of ag-
riculture into the rural school there will
be tendency to educate the boy back
to the farm. That good argument IA
vors this proposition there is no ques-
tion.-Drovers' Journal

HOW TO REPAIR ROADS.
Hixhways Most Have Co.stant AZ.
teatiOn II They Are to he o1
Any Use Or value.

Charles Williams. . contractor in
Connersville, Ind. gives few points
on road repair in paper before farm
ers' institute which will be of interest:
Now, some points on how to keep
roads in good condition, and how to re-
pair them. A road must have constant
attention, II it is to be of any use or
value.
! whenever rut forms. it should be
repaired at once. The road should be
graded in the spring and graveled in the
fall. The road will then be hard and
smooth, and the gravel will be packed
down, but not worn out before bad
weather set in. 1t depends on what
shape the crown of the road is in what
the condition of the road will be for
travel through the winter; If the crown
is in good shape, it will shed the water
to the side bitches, and if they are in
good shape the road will remain dry and
solid.
Now l will tell a few ways to spoil
good road:
THE surest way is to use the road
grader and pile all the mud, sod and
weeds from the sides and bitches into
| the center of the road. This makes the
road soft and muddy, and it will be inn
possible for the next coat of gravel to
unite with the old roadbed. The result
is the road will be spongy. The best
plan is to scrape it up into piles and
haul it to some gully, of which all roads
have few, and dump it there.
"The road grader is good road build
er in the hands of man that knows
how to use 1t, but otherwise he will do
a great deal of damage.
Another way to spoil q road is to
make the crown SO steep that all the
travel will take the center. The result
is the road is worn out in the center,
and no use has been made of the re-
mainder of the road. The center is cut
up by three gulleys. which hold water
and cause the road to be soft and muddy
when it would otherwise be IN good
shape"

Cow Stables in Holland.

In Holland many of the COW stables
are attached to the residences in
which the owners live. The stables
are in front. These stables are usually
well-built structures. but have few de-
sirable features in the way of light and
ventilation. However, as the Dutch
stable is part of the house, it has to
be kept clean, no matter how great the
labor required to accomplish this. This
is the more necessary, as the cows have
to occupy their stalls continuously
throughout the winter months.
