A Foolish Custom Abolished.


From m. Chicaso Chrunirl,.
Among the changes Of the de
tails OF warfare which have been
wrought by the long-rangc ride
there Is one which has been brought
into especial notice by the casualty
statistics of the Russo-Japancse
var Officers no longer expose
themselves to the cnemy's fire for
the purpose OF encouraging the
men"
This foolish practice, which,
through years OF custom, had the
force OF prescription. has evidently
been abandoned. Thus far In the
M%anchurian campaign only one
general oniccr has been killed out-
right and hardly more than a score
have been wounded.
When We comp arc these figures
with the statistic OF our own civil
war we 10 see how sweeping n as
been the change. A recent study
of the Confederate archives shows
that of llj Confederate general
officers, scventy-fou were killed
In action or MORALLY wounded,
while In the Cnion army tlity gem
oral officers, twenty three brcvct
brlIadler generals and thirty-iour
colonies commanding brigadcs
were killed or MORALLY wounded.
In the civil war, that ia to say
general officers were still under
the stress OF u tradition which held
that a commander should ride up
and down his lines-on "A white
horse II possiblc-so that the On.
envy might havca chance Of pick
ing him OIL. In the Manchurian
campaign the general officers have
remained In the real out of the
rifle range and directed the opera
tions of their men by telephone or
by messenger. The casualty sta
tistics show the advantage OF this
latter system.
1t Is no reelection upon the Draw
cry Of a general oflcer that he docs
not expose himself to the fire Of
the enemy. He is not a lighting
man but a director OF fighting men.
His services are too valuable to be
risked In a foolish and spectacular
display Of personal courage which
may DO impressive but which is
absolutely valuelcss to the cause
which he serves.
In this respect the long-rangc
rife, which has rendered such ex-
hibitions too dangerous to be at.
tempted, has accomplished q dis
tinct reform In an old and sense
less custom.

besides your single stock, a one-horse
turn plow, a straight tooth harrow,
corn and cotton planted, a guano
distributor, one-horse cultivator, a
weeder, and one-horse mower and
hay rake.
"Now with these tools you should be
able to do such good work and so
much of it that you will soon be in
position to purchase another horse
and run two-horse farm. You will
then be able to ride much of the
time instead of walk. With the adj
vent of the horses many more tools
will be needed A two-horse breaking
plow will turn your land deeper, and
with a cutaway or disc harrow,
smoothing harrow and a roller, you
can put it in such fine condition
that the yield per acre will be much
larger. You will also need a two
horse cultivator in addition to your
onehorse tools.
"When you reach this point you
will soon be able to purchase anoth-
er animal, and then comes the three
horse disc plow which will tear UP
land that before you could not touch.
You will now need a grain drill if you
sow much wheat, and your crops of
grain will be so much heavier that
you will abandon the cradle in de-
spair at ever cutting it by hand, and
purchase a reaper at once. Your
large crop of corn calls for shred

gine which will also run your feed

wood. And all these pay big profit

manifested throughout North Caro-
lima in the developement of school
gardens. i took occasion some time
ago to call attention to Heming-
ways book on school gardens as be-
ing exceedingly useful in giving ex-
plicit directions for school garden
work.
"Children's Gardens" by Miss Mill

cussing as it does the history of the
movement, plans for various kinds
of plants, rough gardening, wild
flower gardening, school gardens,

indicated by the fact that chapters
are devoted to soil, fertilizers, in
sects and birds in relation to horti-
culture. All teachers interested in
school gardens will find this a valu-
able adjuncttoHemingway's Manual.

Machinery on the Farm.

The following from the Southern
Ruralist contains some very good ad-
vice:
"There is nothing on the farm to-
day which pays a larger profit on the
money invested than modern i'm
proved tools. The man who tries to
farm with nothing but single stock,
is handicapped from the start and
will never get ahead until he reaches
the point where he can begin to ac-
quire the necessary implements for
his profession.
"a machine which will pay for it
self several times over the first year,
which will pay from 100 to 500 per
cent on the investment, is certainly
worth purchasing.
"Ihere isn't a successful business
man in the city to-day who would
hesitate one minute on such a propo-
sition. In fact, the successful bust
ness man would not hesitate to make
an investment in labor-saving ma
chinery if he knew it would save him
10 Fer cent. What we farmers need
to realize is, that our farming is our
business, and then run it on business
principles. When a business man
knows that a certain improvement
will pay him 25 per cent or SO per
cent or 100 per cent profit, he makes
it even if he has to borrow money
to do it. for such an investment will
soon pay back the money many times
over.
"Now we do not advise you to go in
debt unfortunately for every new
machine that comes along which
some one wants to sell; but we do
advise you unhesitatingly to by all
means procure the tools necessary to
do your work to best advantage. If
you run a one-horse farm you need.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-04-18

when properly managed and cared
for. You can now employ more help
at croft, have foreman to super
intend under your directions and
have time for yourself and family to
live like folks.
''If you are a gardener you need
many more tools, including hand seed
drills and single and double wheel
hoes. But the gardener also needs
the heavy tools to fit his land. In
fact, they are necessity, for vege-
tables need the very best of prepara
ton it is possible to give.
"And the further you climb up
along this road to success the easier
things go and greater the profit, for
mother earth appreciates good treat
ment and will yield bountiful re-
turn"

About School Gardens.

Klein Miller, has just appeared from
the press of D. Appleton q Co.,
New York City. Some in America
are inclined to regard the school gar
dem movement as a fad of quite re-
cent origin. This item is dissipatcd
upon reading chapter two of Miss
Niller's Children's Garden, where
she points out that "the study of
gardening originated many years be-
fore Christ, when the great Persian
King. Cyrus, laid out gardens In
which the sons of noblemen were in
structed in horticulture" During
the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury botanical gardens were estab-
lished by the Italian University and in
most every important city in Italy,"
Educators soon realized their import
ance. and Comenius declared: GA
school garden should be connected
with every school where children can
have opportunities for leisurely gaz-
in~ upon trees, flowers, and herbs,
and are taught to enjoy them"
Rousseau emphasized the import
anca of school gardens as factor in
education. Basedow included school
gardens among educational agencies.
Campo. with his wards, planted ten
thousand trees" Salzmann wrote:
school gardens have been laid out,
neither to draw the attention of
Easser-bys. nor to give great returns,
but to instruct" Pestalozzi taught
his wards in fields and gardens, and
said: II wish to make my estate
the central point of my agricultural
and educational efforts" "Froebel
advanced the school garden idea and
established gardens in the larger
German cities of his time"
The Austrian Imperial School Law
of March Il, 1869, decreed that:
where practicable, a garden and a
place for agricultural experiments
shall be established at every rural
school" at is now conceded that
. the agricultural and horticultural
progress of Europe is largely due to
the efficiency of the school gardens" ."
"The agricultural societies of
Switzerland encourages and gives fin
ancial support to the establishment
of such gardens" Since the reorgani-
zation and improvement of the school
systems of France, a law of March
Is, 1882, Outlines a course of study
for primary schools that places the
first instruction in agriculture and
horticulture in school gardens in the
middle grades where pupils acquire
a knowledge of soil. fertilization and
field work" Another important de-
gree of December II, 1887, declares
that NO plan of school building in
the country to which the State con-
tributes shall be accepted unless a
garden be attached.
In Belgium horticulture is COM
puIsory. All public elementary schools
have gardens"
In Germany the school-garden
movement is encouraged and some of
the most successful gardens may be
found within her borders. Austria
Hungary alone has eighteen thousand
school gardens, of which the Province
OF Styria has eight hundred-not
