beans secured between the Henderson
as the male and the Burpee as the fe-
male parent Out of the crosses two
have been selected. One, nearer the
Burpee, is named the Station Bush
Lima, and the other, approaching the
Henderson type, is called the Kelsey.
One of the chief valuable characteris-
tics of these crosses is their remark able
productiveness. Crossed plants often
show this tendency, and here there has
been a striking example Of vigor and
fruitfulness
The quality of the crosses is said to
compare favorably with that of the
Burpee variety Of high grade. The
yield has been fully double that of Ell
ther parent under similar circum-
stances.
The Station Yellow tomato, a cross
Of Golden Sunrise upon Dwarf Cham
pion, gets its fine color, between that of
a ripe lemon and orange, from the male
parent Golden SUNRISE and the up
right or dwarfed habit Of vine from the
female or Champion ancestor. The
plant and fruit are somewhat large
than the Champion and the foliage less
"curled" Thickness Of the wall Of the
fruit, with firmness Of flesh, render
them desirable for marketing and adds
to the percentage Of edible flesh for the

center, with the Long Purple at the
left and the New York on the right.
The fruit Of the Jersey Belle, instead
Of being long and slender and often
curved, as is the Long Purple, or near
ly oval, as Is the New York Improved,
is seen to be combination of these
two extremes. No change in color has
developed. 1t Is the handsome deep
purple SO popular with consumers of
this vegetable

SWISS SCHOOLS.
The Course of Study and the system
of Training.

The Course of Study and the system
Of Training.
The education given in the schools Of
is in many respects more
comprehensive and practical than that
offered in our curriculums. The girls,
for instance, are taught not only to
read and write and spell, but to cook,
to wash, to sew, says the Housekeeper.
In addition to being trained for the du-
ties of homemaking and housekeeping,
each girl is taught some useful trade.
Many of the pupils are daughters Of
rich parents. and there is little lilxeli-
hood of their ever having to earn their
own living, but the paternal govern
ment takes the view that every mem
her Of society should possess the abili-
ty to be self supporting even though
the necessity to exercise that ability
should never arise. No expense has
been spared in eq1lipping the schools Of
Swift; crlard for the teaching of domes-
TIC sc.oEce.

Ii school is equipped to earn his own
living. Fads and frills are absent from
the Swiss schools. The hard headed tax
payers want to see some return for
their money. They demand that the
education for which they pay shall be
practical and useful in after life. Are
they not right?

Fall and EARLY Winter Lambs.
Remember the term lighthouse" lamb
does not mean that you must grow
your animal in a semi-incubator. The
feeding barn should never be kept hot.
The feeder should exercise care that
his lambs do not get in draft and. are
well sheltered, but see that they have
air. It will not hurt them once in
awhile to go out in the snow. Our fall

fifty pounds early in the spring and
