THE LEAD PENCIL EVIL.
School Teachers Should Be Very Strict
with Pupils in. This Matter
and Explain Why.

One practical lesson that should Be
taught in every school is that a lead
pencil must never be put in the mouth.
More important than the study of al
zebra, the study of Greek or Latin, the
study of rhetoric or the study of liter
AZURE, is the lesson that lead pencil
should never be stuck in the mouth.
Nearly every scholar has this habit, and
a very pernitious habit it is.
If the school teacher would insist up
on this as rule, and correct every child
that has this filthy habit it could be
broken up. People who have passed
through school and have formed the
habit of putting the pencil to the lips
every time it is used are beyond hope.
But with the children something could
be done.
The pencil does not write so well after
it has been wet as before, but there
seems to be a notion that In order to
make the pencil write, it must be mois-
tened with the lips. This is not true.
Probably everybody knows it is not true.
In public places, people who are very
squeamish, ordinarily, will pick up a
pencil that has been used by hundreds
of other people, and the first thing they
do is to put it in the mouth
1t is habit that ought to be broken
up. Every school teacher should take
up the crusade. Pupils should be told
frequently never to put the pencil in
their mouths. When caught doing it,
some sort of punishment should be in
fiicted upon them until they get 1t into
their heads that the practice is ridicu-
lous and dangerous to health. While
the graphite that composes the so-caIIed
lead of the pencil is not of itself very
harmful substance to be taken into the
mouth, yet the point of the pencil is nee
essarily dirty.-Health.

why He Failed with Hogs.

Because he bred from WORKOUT
stock.
Because he failed to provide ample
range for the sows.
Because his pigs lacked vigor.
because he had some filters arrive
early in the winter.
Because he did not attempt to pro-
vide natural conditions for his pigs.
Because his sows furnished scanty
ncurishment for their offspring
Because his pigs took the scours
from sleeping in cold, damp beds.
Because he did not know that the
pigs stomach is small and needs con-
slant replenishing.
Because he did not know his pigs
ate their heads OF during the winter.
Because he did not know that 10 per
cent of the pigs live weight is water.
Because he did not get the pigs out
of the nest ard compel them to exer-
else some every day.
Because he did not go after the vef-
min until the pigs we're completely
lousy.
Because he cut away all his woods,
and was glad he had no trees to con-
tend with.
Because he never thought that the
diseased-proof "razorback" lives most
ly in the woods.
Because he boosted that his hogs
could be grown on less water than any
seI,l <Dv
Because he could not understand
why half dozen of his best pigs per-
ished from sunstroke.
Because he was content for someone
else to decide what kind of hogs no
should keep rather than think the mat
ter out for himself.
Because he did not study the re-
sources of his farm, but overlooked
features which might have made him
wealthy.
Because ne never took the trouble
tn study the movements Of the market
throughout the year, but concluded
that the high prices were governed by
luck.
Because he did not know that ne
must learn the business. but year after
year he repeated the same old mis-
takes. when really he should have
known better.
Because he had no method of ascer'
tanning how much feed he was turn
ing into his pork, and he never knew
the day when the operations turned
from profit to loss.-Ropt. L. Dean, In

HERE AND THERE.

Wheat middlings made into a slop
with milk makes a good milk-produc-
ing food for SOW that is milking q
litter of pigs.
The aim in keeping stock should
be to secure the largest and most RAPID
gain in the shortest time; this is espe-
cially with hogs.
Forty thousand two hundred and
ninety-nine cattle, valued at 1928 SEQ,
an average value per head of s9e.40,
were exported from the United States
in January. 1905.
Where alfalfa may be grown sue
cessfully hog raising may be made
profitable. Alfalfa seems to furnish
the exact material necessary to build
I'D a healthy pig and to keep him go
ing exactly right
The expense of hog raising can be
reduced by the study of feeding crops.
There was a time when corn was the
cheapest thing that could be fed hog,
but that time has gone by, and appar-
entity gone for all time.
There is a point below wn'cn the
cost of raising hogs can not be reduced
without loss to the breeder. The thing
to be found out about the cost Is
whether a large cost or a small cost
will produce the best relative results.
There is large profit in rightly
managing poultry on the farm Every
additional egg laid in week by each
hen is SO much gained, and when the
flock is large, as it should be on every
farm. the number Of eggs produced.
when each hen only adds one. Is large
and will pay well for the labor re
uuired to properly care for them.
Some of the highest veterinary au-
thorities contend that CHAMBERS Is not

be caused spontaneously through I'M

are very often caused through the
housing of horses in badiy-ventilated
stables, and the consequent breathing

Canada's law imposing tax of $500
on every Chinese entering the Dominion
has had q prohibitive effect. From
July 1, 1904, not single Chinese ar
rived. with the exception of two who
escaped from steamships. In each case
the steamship company had to pay the
poll tax OF $780, The exclusion Of
Chinese has deprived British Columbia
Of a handsome revenue. In 1908 the
province received from the poll tax
$225.000, and the year before over
$780, 900.

Of the surplus. and the foreign market
is strong. In most places in the south.
a man who raises any surplus can find
a ready buyer in the man who hasn't
raised enough to feed his stock from
one season to another. The corn mar
ket is one Of the best-organized mar
kets in the world.
Although the farmer can not tell ex-
actly the cost of producing crop, he
should know approximately, so that he
can market intelligently. In figuring
the cost of producing corn, We must
consider taxation. labor and labor
maintenance, and depreciation of ma
chinery.' The cost of production
ranges from ten cents to twenty-one
cents a bushel.
The numerous uses of corn as food
are familiar TO everyone, so We will
consider only the modern uses of the
grain and the stalk At the Paris ex-
position, in 1900, 10S commercial
products of corn were exhibited from
the United States. Corn -four is nutri-
tious and blends we'll with wheat -four.
The manufacture of glucose is becom-
ing quite a large industry. From it
are made table sirups, confectionery
and gums, and 1t is used in sizing and
printing cloth. A large per cent OF
the olive oil in domestic use is really
corn OIL The cellulose made from the
pith of the stalk is used as a packing
between the outer and the inner armor
of warships. If shell pierces the
cases of steel. the cellulose will swell
and prevent the entrance of water.
The south should receive her share
of profits from this immense industry,
but at present, although she raises 30.3
per cent of the corn grown in the
United States, she is not growing
enough for home consumption. A large
per cent. of the farmers in the south
do not raise enough corn to feed their
stock from season to season. They
have to buy corn from the northwest
at from eighty cents to one dollar q
bushel. We have the necessary mois-
ture, and our climated and soil are
well adapted to corn growth. There is
no reason why the southern farmer
should not fill his own cribs with corn
and have enough for export.-B. II
Hunnicutt, in South Cultivator.
