Close inbreeding is short cut to

gests some weakness.
Hogs may be fed corn as soon as the
grain begins to harden.
All things considered. early plow-
ing is best for fall wheat.
A fattened old COW has larger pro-
portion of waste than young ami
NAL.
All anilrals require variety in
their food in order TO make the best
gains.
Keep the chickens out of the gar
den and give them plenty TO do on the
outside
Set the milk as quickly as possible
after milking 10 get perfect rising of
the cream.
When fed dry. shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal TO feed to
fattening hogs.
III the conditions are favorable,
August is the best time 10 set out
strawberry plants.
To obtain the best results the farm
work must be done in the best manner
and nj the proper time.
The temporary gate, or the make
shift fence. will often cause more
trouble than making good one.

Gus Educational Institutions.

Gus Educational Institutions.
According 10 the bureau of educat ton,
the school enrolment for the year end
ing June, 1902, was 17,460,O 900. This
IS the latest complete total available;
but, according to the normal rate of in
crease, it must now be we'll over eigh-
teen millions. OF this great total thu
school children proper-those in the ele-
mentary grades of public and private
schools--numbered 16,479, III Next in
order came the 734, 760 secondary stu
dents in public and private high schools,
in academies and seminaries, in the pre-
paratory departments of universities and
colleges, and in the non-professional
classes in public and private normal
schools. The college boys and college
girls numbered 246, 063-this total COM
prising, in official language, all students
of higher education in universities and
colleges, professional and normal
schools"
The mind refuses at first to grasp
the significance of these great totals, but
! few comparisons will help. America s
school enrolment exceeds by about a
million the combined population of Swift
zeriand, Norway, Greece, Bulgaria, Den
mark and Servia-all sovereign states.
The elementary children alone equal
the population of these six states.
In 1902 the children in the public
schools cost Uncle Sam 1926, Dos, 465. The
to al value of the property possessed by
the higher educational institutions was
$417,205,234 in that year, and their en-
dowment funds amounted to $1S5, 944,
66S Besides the income from those
funds, they received many millions in the
shape Of fees and appropriations from
the federal and State governments and
! from municipalities. 1t is safe to say
| that $300,0000oJ year is paid out
for education-a sum little less than the
combined outlay of Germany and Russia

Poultry and Small Fruits.

The writer has been much interest
ed In a fruit and poultry farm which
he has visited yearly for the last i've
years, and the results obtained on this
farm have been such that they are
worth attention here. The owner was
over sixty years old when he took up
this work. He had been a farmer all
his life and had raised both FRUIT and
poultry to a limited extent AS he
it became too much Of burden. He
sold it and bought ten acres ON the
outskirts of a city of $4,000 people.
At the end o. the first year from
chicks raised and fowls bought he
had ninety-four laying hens. One acre
of strawberries was also In good con-
dition for a first crop the following
summer.
At the end of Ave years he has near
ly three hundred fowls and pullets for
egg production, markets many broilers,
roasters and fowls and has three acres
in strawberries. With the help of one
man all the work is done and our
friend Is making rGore actual money
beyond the cost ci his living than he
had ever made on the farm of seventy
acres and with a much smaller invest
ment. There are possibilities in this
combination in many sections of the
country, and they are we'll worth look
ing into. Plenty of hard work in it.,
of course. and many disappcintments,
but under skilled management 1t will
bring success.-Indianepo News.

The trouble isn't with the gov
errors, but with the constitution of
Vermont. The governor does not
possess the veto power, as that
power is understood everywhere
else in the civilized world. Our
constitution gives the legislature
power to pass measure over the
governors veto by bare majority
...i .n.., if.nitcu, Veto rs no veto
at all. The legislature has been
given large powers by the consttu-
ton and has usurped what the con-
stitution didn't give it; and it is now
practically the sole authority in the
legislative, executive and judicial
departments combined. In the good
time coming when our antiquated,
outgrown, reactionary, vintage-of-
1870 constitution is revised, the gov
ernor OF Vermont will be given a
real veto power and the preroga-
tives of which he has been robbed
will be restored to him.-Burlington

Rutland County Must Hold Fair.

A county fair will ne held in Rut-

County Agricultural Society is in a
bad way financially. The decision
was reached at special meeting OF
the society held in Rutland Satur-
day.
After employing a lawyer to in
vestigate the matter it was decided
that as the deed held by the society
now stands it is necessary to hold a
fair each year in order to retain the
title to the fair ground property.
Otherwise the property reverts to
the original contributors at the time
of the purchase of the land.
The present Indebtedness of the
society amounts to $1,000. Of which
$500 is unpsid premiums of last
