teachers use for work to be left on the
board for several days. Many city
schools get slate four feet wide. This
is heavy to handle. more expensive and
more liable to break. A slate three
feet wide gives ample space for pu-
pills use. The artificial slate is inches
wide and joining above gives good
boaOrd for teachers use or extra work
and being used less frequently will last
many years. 1t is good plan to place
slate orders early as the factories are
often overrun and shipments are de-
layed. Orders may be placed for flu
ture shipment and in this way schools
may be assured of having the slate
when needed.
County schools should use Il good
grade of artificial slate If they cannot
afford slate. Hyloplate is made in
many grades. Some by painting the
surface of pulp board with stating.
The best grade is made by putting on
several coats of stating with trowel.
This lasts many years and the manu.
facturers guarantee it for ten years.
Slated cloth is used by many and if
put on properly will last many years
and give good service. There should
be pasted on the wall. a felt paper,
commonly known as building paper,
and the cloth should be pasted upon
this in order to make a good smooth
background. BY this plan smooth
surface is obtained and the slated cloth
will last much longer.

and long, hard winters.
Mr.. Morton has three acres of this
wheat which was sown September %
last on barley stubble with disc
drill. 1t should have been put in two
weeks earlier and as the work. was
merely experimental, it was sown a
tri1e thin and in addition was not
covered as we'll as it should have
been. AS a result of these deficiencies
it did not stool we'll, but still it shows
a good length of straw, with berries
in the hard dough and almost ready
to cut. Mr.. Morton expects a yield
of ten bushels to the acre, but is con-
fident that II the work had been right
ly done at the proper time he would
now have had ready to cut yield of
twenty bushels per acre.
The seed was brought from near
saltwater, Mimi, and probably needs
acclimating. 1t seems evident that a
few years of experimenting will put
North Dakota in shape to raise winter
wheat Of first-class grade and yield,
and to such men. as Mr.. Morton the
credit will be due We hope to see
others take up the work this fall and
to be able to report their efforts a
success at this time next year.

kota. all the time looking over crops
and stock, and talking with farmers
about them and the prospects and pos
sibilities of the present season. Never
have We seen SO universally good, a
showing as to crops, and never have we
found our farmers more hopeful and
satisfied. Some way-up crops, clean
fields and No. l horses, cattle, sheep,
poultry and hogs were to be seen
scattered all over this wide stretch of
beautiful country; and we are sorry
to say, there were many fields that
were not clean, and much stock that
showed poor breeding and care. We
We're particularly impressed with the
great diversity of crops grown in
the same neighborhood, and by the
wide difference in the income from
COWS Of adjoining neighbors. Some
farmers showed almost as much
again cream per cow as others and
some almost as good again calves
at the SAME age. Most of this differ
ence we could trace to quality in the
cows, the best performers almost in
variably being deep-bodied animals, a
little fiat rather than plump, and de-,
cidedly "wedge-shaped," increasing in
depth and bulk the farther we got
from the small head and thin neck.
These cows, of whatever breed they
chauced to be. all showed large bread
baskets" roomy udders and ample
milk veins" When these cows were
found in abundant pasture, with good
comfortable barns behind them for
winter quarters, and an owner that
lust loves a good cow" we knew what
the record was before asking.
In one bunch of seventeen COWS, not
far from Morris, Mimi, we found Just
one animal that seemed to US worth
keeping. AS this COW was pretty vel!
along in years, and we detected moth
ing nearly SO good in the rest of the
herd, we asked what had become of
her heifer calves. A neighbor, we
were told, had always taken shine"
to them; and upon visiting this neigh
Dor little later, we found a most ex-
cellent bunch of money making COWS,
not single bad one among them. The
only reason, we found. why this enter
prising neighbor had not long ago Sc
cured the old COW, too. was because
her owners wife lust wouldn't"
We found mutton ewes that had re-
turned as high as SO head to their
owners, and others that had done
much less than half as we'll. Some
farmers were literally overrun with
the incest pigs we ever saw, while
other assured US that 1t was "bad
pig year." and could show scarcely a
pig to a SOW. Some of the women
folks grew eloquent. telling US of
what the poultry had brought in;
while others were even more SO ex-

piainiy where the trouble lay, or the
pfonts came from; and. always it was
IN the quality. or lack of quality, of
the animals kept, frequently aggrava-
ted by the same conditions in the
owner who failed to give proper care
and feed.
The excuse was often made to us
that it takes both time and money to
change the quality in farm animals.
and while this is true-and money can
not be spent better-it is also true

and painstaking selection and mating.
and, II possible, more by proper care
and liberal feeding.
But cost what 1t NAV to improve and
shelter stock, it requires but little. If
any, additional cash outlay to improve
the quality of the general farming.
Timely and thorough work alone, will
work wonders in heavier Yields and
cleaner fields. We saw single farms in

SO that when the slate is on the wall
the seams are scarcely noticeable. We
visited the Gilby school recently where
we found space of nearly one half an
inch in some parts of the seams and a
natural slate color which is a dull
gray. This kind of blackboard does
not add beauty nor comfort to the

this system, a perfect and uniform

is not overheated. No longer are pu-

Pupils Desks.

1t is pretty generally conceded that
each pupil is entitled to single desk.
City schools have discarded double
desks and many of the rural schools
are now purchasing the single desk

one can deny. but this is not the main
object for using single desks. The

to get them made and properly dried

good makes of desks, in fact, most
desks are worth all they cost if bought
at minimum prices.
There is one matter that should be
taken into consideration, however-the
desk shipped from Minnesota costs for
singles about thirty cents less freight
than one shipped from Michigan or
Indiana so that this difference should
be added to eastern prices when COM
pairing with Minneapolis or Duluth
shipments. The double desk will ay-
erage about fifty cents higher freight
from eastern points.

some to be better. however, the consen-

1t is we'll known fact that many

Large cities are giving attention to
the H" system of building which af-
fords more light and it has been found
thaat the health of school children has

this indicates the buildings are made
in the form of the letter H, SO that the
light comes into the rooms from at
least two directions.
AS sunlight is not only beneficial but
necessary to plant life so it is to child
life, but as the strong sunlight on the
white page of a book, with contrasting
black letters, is very injurious to the
eye and consequently to the health of
the child, it is necessary that this light
be regulated properly. The best blind
for this purpose is the Venetian blind,
a wood Stat blind SO constructed that
proper light and ventilation are easily
obtained without the evil effects of 4

Prices vary from s. to $40, according
to size, quality and date of issue,
though more often according to the
push of the agent A good set of up
to-date reliable fast color maps, 8 inch
case, should not cost over $50, and may
be had as low as $3.50. Cheaper sets
are not reliable and fade on exposure
to light.
Many of our city schools favor the
wall map mounted on common rollers
and which may be easily transferred
from one room to another. On account
of frequent changes in the U. S. map
we deem it advisable to have the chea-
per wall map or If a case of school
maps are bought then a commercial
wall map of the U. s. on heavy map
paper should be furnished each school
room. These can be had for about
$3.50 each on large scale and are need
ed for their commercial features.
More attention is being given to
commercial geography and our school
maps will have to meet this demand
soon.
There are many who favor the set
of maps on tripod as being more con-
venient and cheaper. A few favor the
use of an atlas instead of large expen-
sive maps, using outline blackboard
maps for test lessons.
