FARMING MATTERS.
Farm Education.

AT the recent meeting OF the Colora-
do State Grange at Fort Collins the
following report of the educational
committee was adopted
our committee on education beg
leave to submit the following report:
"Whereas. The education of vast
majority of the future farmers of this
state will end with the public school,
and the advancement of the age de-
mands acquaintance with the laws OF
nature in order to successfully prac-
tice agriculture; therefore be it =
Resolved, That we favor the
teaching the elementary principles OF
agriculture. and what is usually kD2wn
as nature studies in all the public
schools of the state, and we believe
that after two years from this date.
every teacher should be required to
pass a creditable examination in these
subjects
Resolved. That we favor the pur-
chasing of school books by the board
of directors OF the state, as it establish
es a uniform course OF study. at least
expense.
.Resoved. That we fully and most
heartily approve of the work that the
agricultural college is doing Tor the

pecially for that richest of all products
for which we are noted--our boys and
girls. We would further approve OF
the short course in agriculture, which
they are about to establish for the
special benefit of adult farmesr and
their wives. and would urge the. farm
:. ers of the state, and especially our
grangers to take advantage of this val
liable feature in our college work
Resolved, That we favor reading
course under supervision of the state
agricultural college, fer the farmers of
this state. And we favor the use and
study of the bulletins issued by the col
lege in our oranges. They are gotten
up for the benefit of the farmers and
we cannot get the intended benefit
unless we carefully study them. We
think that much more good could be
gotten from them if we would take
them up and discuss them as part of
our regular grange work. We urge the
local graDgers to arrange for farmers
institutes in their different communi-
ties, both for the cultivation of local
talent and to avail themselves of the
lectures of the agricultural college, who
are always willing to come without
charge and give from one to three or
more lectures and hold consultations
and visit such farms as present i'm
portant problems"

sonal appeal to King Edward.

HEALTH OFFICER
LAYTON RETURNS
SAYS Convention a Health O(Iioefs DNis
ed Plans to Prevent Yellow Fever
Epidsmies.

A HERALD representative this
morning met Dr. L. F. Layton,
city and county health officer, who
has Just returned from a trip to
Austin, where he attended the
convention of state health officers
last week. Speaking of the csB-
vention, DIR. Layton said it was a
success from every point of view,
being well attended and all pres
emf showing an active and intell+
gent interest in the subject under
consideration, WHICH was the III
stitution of ways and means to
prevent an invasion of yellow fever
or epidemics of that disease m
Texas.
The subject of quarantine regu-
lations, especially on the border,
was discussed very fully, and a
plan of quarantine adopted which
it is thought will be sufficiently
strict to prevent any epidemic OF
the fever, and at the same time
not inconvenience public travel.
DIR. Layton was accompanied on
this trip By Mrs. Layton, and re-
ports an enjoyable time. visiting
Houston, Galveston and other cities
besides the capital.

In explanation of the comparative

be acquired, for it must be understood
that there is difference between the
spoken and the written languages,
take, for example, the word hand. In
German we must remember whether
the word hand be of masculine, femi-
nine or neuter gender; in French.
Spanish or Italian we must recall
whether the word be of masculine or
feminine gender; whereas in Chinese,
as in English, all we need burden our
memory with is the word hand, which,
in Cantonese Chinese, is SOW. Once
learned, the word SOW is irreyocably
fixed in our memory. The simplicity
of such a language is at once self-evi.

and that word may be used either
as noun, verb, adveTb or conjunc-

Population Of California.

According to statistics compiled by
T. Cary Friedlander, secretary of the
Merchants Exchange of San Francis
CO, the population Of California has
increased considerably since the last
census was taken in 1900. The figures
are based on the quantity of -four
consumed throughout the state and
the average consumption of -four per
capita in the United States. He finds
that the population of California is
about 1,75G,500, an increase of nearly
100000 since the census of 1900.
