OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

Our country school as it appears to-
day is an important factor in the up
building of the nation. 1t not only IN
duces higher education, but is the well
laid cornerstone Of many successful
business. career. The cdliber of the av-
prage country school as well as the city
or town school depends largely upon
the people who patronize it for its char-
acter. and While our rural schools are
not altogether fiawless they certainly
do possess their good points. In the
first place. a chance to 90 to school IS
offered to every boy and girl in the dis
trict. The child can develop and pro-
gress as fast as he is able unhampered
by the large class or the dull pupil.
County superntcndents cooperating
with the teacher. are constantly plan
ming a better and more thorough in
struction. The uniform text book plan,
which is being taken up by many of
the counties. will do much toward inn
proving the country school. We live ID
a rapid age and up to date and uni
form text books are necessary in order
to secure the best results. Better wages
will secure better teachers; but, then,
that is your lookout; possibly YOU are
satisfied. If You are out of sympathy
with the school get over it; take time to
visit it; get acquainted with the new
teacher: ask her 10 your home. Try to
refrain from discussing every trivial

EXPERIMENT sTATIoNs

Because man has been born and
raised upon farm it does not follow
in every instance that he is farmer or
knows more than others about success
full farming. We heard a farmer not
long since ridiculing the remarks of a
professor in a certain agricultural meet
Ing because, as the farmer asserted, he
didn't believe the fellow had ever lived
on farm in his life. This is mere nor
row mindedness. Each day brings
proof that the man who follows most
intelligently the plans outlined by our
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations gets better results In the end.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1906-03-09

Did you ever stop to think that the
prospect of a visit to the country home
is usually hailed with delight by both
young and old alike? The spirit of hos
pitality, comfort and plenty which per-
vades the whole atmosphere of the
farm home is delightful in the ex-
IRENE, especially to those who come
from city homes where economy is
practiced on every corner and the
good things so appetizing in the farm
home mean Il good substantial tug at
the pocketbook when purchased in the
city. The hostess in the country home
cultivates and enjoys her friends. She
can afford TO be hospitable with re-
sources at her command which meet
the demand of every occasion. She
makes her guests feel at home and
happy, while they in turn respond to
the freedom and lack of Formally with
great eagerness.

THE TROLLEY.

If there is any talk about running a
trolley line anywhere through the COM
munity where you reside go forth and
meet the projectors more than halfway,
give them the right of way across your
land and take stock in the company and
push the enterprise along, for it is the
best thing which could possibly hit you.
Some men whose eyes are set too close
together don't do this, but hinder and
hamper the work in every possible
manner. The trolley line means full
municipal privileges and opportunities
for the country resident, wider and bet
ter markets, better schools and more of
all that makes life worth living. Near
~ every farmer appreciates the tele-
phone and the rural mail systems, and
the trolley road is the keystone to this
improved type of country living.

His Modest Enifanb

There are those who take the precau.
ton to buy their own monuments and
tombstones and write their antemortem
epitaphs. What special comfort they
can get out Of this is not clear but
that is their business. We recall for
instance, a true story of a fellow who
had been found guilty of a very cruel
murder in one Of the Connecticut towns
and was sentenced to die on the ga.
lows. A few days before his execution
his lawyer called at the cell and askedii
there was anything the condemnodwOuli
like him to have done in p0stmortem
arrangements. The man said that be
would leave with the lawyer a sun
sufficient for the purchase Of a plain
stone to be erected at the head Of the
grave and bearing the simple inscriP
ton: Sacred to the memory Of -
-. Died - name and date We
omit. OF such Is the kingdom OF
heaven. "-Ruffalo Commercial.

EXPERIENCE WITH ALFALFA.
incubation All Right, and the Soil
Method Preferred.


Method Preferred.
There has been much said and writ
ten about alfalfa and incubation the
past year which has been misleading
and misunderstood by those who do
not understand the nature Of the plant,
says Montagu Hamm in Rural New
Yorker correspondence. l have had
seven years experience with alfalfa
two years in Colorado, where it grows
to perfection without incubation, and
five years in Connecticut, where inocu-
lation is necessary. The present season
l am in the alfalfa section of New
York, near Syracuse. In the spring OF
1900 l took charge Of a farm near
Hartford, Conn. On June l sowed
one-fourth of an acre to alfalfa. It
came up and looked well. l cut it three
times for soiling, cutting the last crop
about Oct l. In the spring of 1901 the
alfalfa was nearly all gone.
Soil incubation.
About this time l learned of soil IL.
oculation and thought l would try 1t.
The director of Storrs experiment sta
ton sent me some inoculated soil and
seed for experiment. | sowed the seed
and inoculatel soil April 20, using the
soil on Il marked plot about by j.
feet In two months it was plain to see
where the soil had been applied, as the
alfalfa was rank and dark green. The
rest OF the field looked yellow. | be.
lieye in incubation. and I think we are
just learning the possibilities of it and
of alfalfa growing in the east. About
August the same year | seeded more
alfalfa on a we'll prepared seed bed.
using 500 pounds bone meal, 200
pounds muriate of potash and 1,002
pounds lime, 200 pounds of seed per
acre, also soil. The results were good
l also used culture from Washington
alfalfa meal and soil for inoculatius
The meal gave the most nodules, g..
ture gave none, but think alfalfa sol
the practical way.
