SCHOOL GARDENS.

One of the many striking evidences
of the great changes wrought during
the last century is in the pedagogical
method employed at the present time.
Many of the new departures proved
to be fads and departed this life with
out leaving footprints on the sands of
time, but no one can question the Wis
dom of Incorporating in the curricu-
lum of our common schools some
practical knowledge of the nature that
supplies us with our healthiest foods,
and that is the purpose of the school
garden, which is now being brought
forward to the attention of the public.
The school garden idea adopts, in a
manner, the practical mode of teach
ing so forcibly carried out by Mr..
SQueers, of Dotneby's hall. When
scholar has learned that botany means
knowledge of plants "he goes and
knows EN-" In Leipsic the pupils
are taught botany in the form of ap-
piled horticulture; that is, they learn
to graft, to plant and to transplant,
and a special incentive is afforded to
cultivate nome gardens. >, III sweden
the idea is still further elaborated up
on. and the garden includes hotbeds,
summer houses, fountains, ETC., and
the government gives bonus for
each Garden established
Manual training in this country has
been confined mostly to the use of
shop tools with view of shortening
the distance between the graduates
pocket and the great American dollar.
This is an error. The school garden
would bring better results for the
same amount of time spent. 1t would
turn out grafters of an entirely diff
ferent kind from those with which the
word is now associated. 1t would help
to make horticultural ventures more
successful financially, aid in the dis
covery and propagation of new and
valuable varieties, and strengthen the
body as we'll as the mind.
The school garden would be nothing
more nor less than good. old-fashioned,
cool common sense injected into the
hot haste of examining down senseless
facts and jumbled figures.

THE sPREADER PAYS.

The manure spreader is one of the
most important essentials in the
economic handling of farm manures
as we'll as for the proper conserva-
tion of their value. feel competent
to say that they may be considered
one of the most important imple-
ments on the farm, either large or
small. I believe they will come near
er paying a dividend on the invest
ment than any other farm tool. The
expense of handling the manure is
lessened by three-fourths at least, and
as manure hauling time" generally
comes when other heavy work is
pressing. the saving of time is con-
sidered as much of a gain as the saw
ing of labor.
While the manure spreader can add
nothing to the value Of the manure it
does, by the process of minute disin-
tegration so consummately accom-
plished by this machine, put the ma
terial In mechanical condition which
renders its fertilizing content more
Immediately available, much more
