CITY SCHOOLS
MAY CLOSE

The board of trustees of HaVre
school district held q meeting last
Saturday, at which it was decided to
close the city schools on April 18th
next. If this plan is carried out, the
term will be cut short one month
earlier than usual, but the trustees
reasoned that it was necessary to do
this in order to straighten out the
funds of the district. While the
district received $1,000 more this year
shan last, it will be remembered that
the schools We're conducted one month
Of last year en- the strength of this
years. apportionment.
The teachers are very much inter
sisted in seeing the schools continued
the full term, as they feel that this
last month is necessary to round out
the pupils in thorough shape. SO
much are they interested that, at a
teachers meeting held Monday even
ing of this week, several were ready
to volunteer to teach one month
without pay. Trof. Troy suggests a
clan which was endorsed by those
present, and which appears to be a
splendid solution of the difficulty. He
proposed that the term be completed,
and the salaries reduced just little;
it would require buta slight reduction
from each teachers salary to soon
make up the deficit.

FEEDING WARM WASHES.

Now that the season is approach 6
when the poultry must be housed
more or less closely the annual sub
ject of feeding the warm mash comes
up, for consideration. We were for
merly strong advocates OF the warm
mash in the morning; then we turned
to the plan of giving it at night and
literally in either period. Now we
stand on middle ground, tor with
our flocks, mainly of the larger
breeds, 1t was found that the liberal
feeds of warm mash put the fat on,
and when the fat goes on too heavily
the eggs begin to fall short.
We then worked along the plan OF
feeding the mash in the morning dur
ing moderate weather and at night In
colder weather; indeed, the fowls are
not little hungry when thsy have
finished, but, on the other hand, they
don't stand around with a dreamy look
In their eyes which comes from q
full stomach, but get to work vigor-
ously to scratch out the grain in the
chaff on the scratching shed floor.
To make up for our stinginess in
quantity of mash we make 1t appetite
ing by using little wheat In the
bran as we'll as bits of meat and veg
etables chopped fine. Experience
through two seasons of feeding in this
manner has convinced us that 1t Is
the correct plan. Don't so to the
other extreme and cut the mash out
entirely until this suggestion has been

The Goose Came Back.

The writer was informed by Capt.
Handen B. Nicholas that his father,
the late Robert c. Nicholas, of Buck
ingham county, Va, once caught a
young wild gander, which he tanned.
and for long While it remained
qu.e.ly and contentedly in the yard
with the otter tame geese. However,
it disappeared in the spring after 1t
was year old. The following fall Mr..
Nicholas heard in the air far above
him what seemed to him familiar
"tonk.' Taking out of hts pocket a
large bandanna handkerchief, with
which he was accustomed to call to-
gether the geese by waving it when
he fed them, he held it up in the air
and waved it, and to his surprise the
gander came to the ground with some
young geese and mate he had taken
in the Arctic regions. They never
left their home again, but remained
all their lives perfectly tame and con-
tented. This is not fiction but an es-
tablished fact, and will be corroborat-
ed by Capt. Nichols if anyone wishes
to verify it. 1t appears to the writer
to be strong, steady proof of the fact
that wild animals reason and are far
more intelligent than they are gener-
ally bel eyed to be.-Ccrrespondence

FEEDING CORN FODDER.

In the States where the corn crop
is large much of it goes to needless
waste, which with little care might
be made to add to the farm profits.
The wasteful plan of throwing 1t In
great stacks to the animals, leaving
them to eat what they will and tram
pie the rest under foot, can not be
profitable, no matter how large the
corn crop one has at command. To
get the most from the corn fodder,
if it is not in the form of silage, 1t
should be cut or shredded. preferably
the latter. OF course, in some sec.
tions perhaps this may not be done
with profit, but it may be cut even in
the old-fashioned cutter and pay tor
the labor.
The time to feed the corn fodder
to best advantage is early in the sea-
son and simply because after mid-win-
ter it has lost much Of its feeding
value and the cows fail to do wen
on it and tire of the sameness. The
other materials used for roughage can
be saved until labor in the winter and
in the spring. The corn fodder may
be made more appetizing by feeding
a small ration of root crops, although
the bulk of the roots should be saved
for later feeding when the cows be-
come more anxious for green food
