CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.
Training the Young Idea to Shoot in
Dominion of Canada.
From Resources.

From Resources.
In word. the farmers children have
been given the advantages of the high
school.
AS President Creelmau of the Ontario
Agricultural College has pointed out. the
system undoubtedly Is. from a standpoint
of dollars and cents, more expensive. for
the first few years at least, but the rural
ratepayer has it to decide for himself
whether he would rather pay five dollars
more per year and secure for his boy or
girl such increased benefits as the CONSOLE
dated school can give, or leave them in the
hands of an inexperienced girl teacher who
perhaps does her best in a little oNe-roeT-
ed school, without facilities of demonstra-
ton of any kind
one of the most important features or
these schools Is the school garden where
practical farm science IS taught In a prac-
teal way. Such gardens are not. however.
confined 10 the consolidated schools, but
are now being kept In connection with
number Of the more progressive district
schools in various parts of the country.
They are usually from two to three acres
in area, divided into experimental and in
divldual plots for each of the pupils, rang
ing in size from six feet square TO six by
ten or even twenty.
The general plan Of laying out each gar
den involves "a q belt OF native trees and
shrubs surrounding the grounds, % a half
acre playheld for the boys: % a lawn Dor
dered with shade trees for the girls; o.
shaded walk each for boys ana girls, about
a hundred yards long; 90 an attractive APP
proach to the school, consisting chiefly of
a piece of open lawn. with shrubs and flow
erS on either side: 90 a suitable reserya-
ton for individual ana class plots; ca
orchard plot or border; 80 "A forest plot in
which the chief native trees are grown
from the seed.
The ordinary range of vegetables and a
selection of Towering plants are grown in
these gardens, the pupils themselves fur
niShing the necessary work In the !arg-
est schools two hours each week are found
sufficient for the garden work and one
hour in the smaller. in both cases under
the supervision of the teacher or a special
instructor. The school garden serves n
double purpose. since il not only provides
the most practical form of nature study
but acts as a valuable incentive In the gem
eCai school work. 1t is no uncommon sight
during the summer season TO see a pubic
school in session out-of-doors. not with
slate and pencil but with hoe or shovel.
The pupils thoroughly enjoy ii. They arc
allowed the proceeds of their plots as their
own property and in addition may take
nome the plants left over from thinning
cut. The class plots are reserved as a source
OF revenue for the school and as a SUNNY
IN some cases for the school lunches
These larger plots are for experimental pur-
poses and sometimes yield particularly fine
crops. Not few of the prizes at some of
the county fairs have been won by the ex-
hiblts from school gardens.

WelI-known railroad official who answered
this description as to stature and who al
ways wore handsome diamond ring pre-
Yious to the lynching. ceased to wear his
ring FOR several years afterward
After the execution of the Reno brothers
there were threats and mutterings of re-
prisals from allies or surviving members
of the gang. But these latter were not
heard again after the third day after the
execution, when the people of Seymour.
on leaving their homes, were startled To
see on the walls and in other public places
large posters proclaiming that If any prop
erty was injured or destroyed. or any per-
sons molesteo or assaulted, or If there was
any further talk in regard to recent hap
peninSs, some twenty-five persons therein
frankly named, who were known to be
sympathizerS with the Renos or to be more
or less intimately connected with them, had
better beware. John Reno. after serving
fifteen years in the Missouri penltentiary,
was released, and went on the Old farm.

The. Destruction
of the Renos

FIE first and probably the most
daring band Of train robbers that
ever operated in the United States
was the notorious Reno gang, an
association Of desperate outlaws
wiz. In the years Immediately following
the war. committed crimes without number
in Missouri and Indiana, and for some years
terrorized several counties In the region
about Seymour in the last-named state
The leaders of this band were four broth
ers, John, Frank. sim" and William Reno,
who rivaIed one another in a spirit Of law
Iessuess that must have been born in their
blood through the union OF hardy Swiss
emigrant with u woman sprung from the
Pennsylvania Dutch OF the six children
from this marriage only one escaped the
restless. law-despising faint that made the
others desperate characters.
During the war the Renos had become
notorious as bounty jumpers; and at its
close with fine seorn for the ways Of
commonplace industry these ferce-hearted,
dashing young fellows cast about for fur
Their means of excitement and opportunities
10 make an easy living. Beginning their
operations in a small way with housebreak-
Ing and store robbertes, they soon proved
themselves so successful in their coupS that
they quickly extended their field until, in
the early part of 1866, they had placed a
forms of law at defiance.
john Reno and Frank Reno, the elder
brothers, were at this time the dominating
spirits Of the band, and they soon assoc
ctated with them several of the most skill
ful and notorious counterfeiters and safe
burglars il the country, among these be-
ing Peter Mccartney. James and Robert
Rittenh0use. George Mckay, John Dean
alias California Nelse." and William Hop
kins. The Reno influence made Itself felt
even In local politics, corrupt officials being
elected at the .nstgation of the outlaws, so
that their conviction became practically
impossible
The Renos toward the end of 1866. began
a series of train robber.e;s which were car
ried out with such perfection of organiZa-
ton. such amazing GOODNESS and such uni
FORM success as to attra Z pational atten-

on the Ohio and Mississ ippi railroad, being
accomplished by only four men. Frank and
John Reno, assisted by William Sparks and
Charles Cierroli. Other train -10Dbcries fol-

VALUE OF DEAD LEAVES.
Reported to Be Rich in heterogeneous
Contents

Consul Goldschmidt of Nantes furnishes
a report containing facts that will be IN
teresting to our agricultural interests. The
value of dead leaves, compared with ordi-
nary manure, has been the subject of scien-
tfic test, and the results are given by the
consul. He writes:
"A great part of the suburban population
of this city Is engaged in gardening, and
especially in the cultivation of early veg
etables. For many years use has been
made OF the dead leaves which fall from
the trees in the autumn, and when such
can be obtained by the small farmers they
are eagerly gathered and employed as fer
tilizers or to cover certain plants during
the coolest winter months. Frequently these
leaves are first used as bedding for cattle
and horses. and the manure thus obtained
is considered much richer than that of ordi-
nary straw.
"A writer In the Phare de la Loire shows,
in table just published, the relative fer
tiliZing value of certain kinds of leaves,
most of which are rich in heterogeneous con-
tents and consequently good as fertilizers.
According to this writer the following are
the contents of nitrogen of some of the
leaves after their fall in autumn: Pear.
1.S6 per cent; oak, LIS: poplar. rs; beech.
rs; locust, II; elm .7S; vine, 50.
IAN examination of the fertilizing value
of the dead leaves compared with that OF
ordinary manure shows the following re-
suits: Forty-four pounds of pear leaves,
80 pounds of poplar, 81 pounds of peach. SO
pounds of locust, 81 pounds OF elm and ia
pounds of vine. respectively, are equal In
nitrogen to 100 pounds of manure.
can interesting and valuable table might
be established showing the fertiiizinG value
of the various leaves from American trees.
particularly when it is considered that 81
the United States such leaves are easily OBJ
tainable by the farmers. who are generally
owners of some woodland where the leaves
might he gathered at will, which is not the
case in Europe, where forests are generally
either the property of the state or of some
individual park preserves.

OREGON COMING THIS WAY.

WASHINGTON, August SIT is ex-
pected that the ,battleship Oregon will
shortly return from the Asiatic station
and be thoroughly repaired and over
hauled at one of the Pacific Coast navy
yards. Hardly any work has been done
on the Oregon while she has been in
Asiatic waters and her refitting will be
one of the largest projects sent to a
navy yard The work Will be similar
to that done on the Indiana, and will
include a renewal of the turrets. The
cost of repair is estimated at $500, 000
