In tha German unlverslties.

According to T. st. John%Gaffney.
United States Consul General at Ores
den. during the winter 1906-07 the
twenty-one universities Of Germany
were attended by 45,136 students. OF
whom 254 were women. He gives the
following details:
"The increase over the correspond
ing term of last year is 2,740 students.
In addition to this number, 5,509
persons awaited themselves OF the
privilege of listening to lectures WIN
out matriculating as members. Of
this class 2,105 are women. 1t is
therefore plain that only a small pro-
portion of the female students have
m~atriculated, and that the greater
number study as visitors.
"As regards the various courses,
the figures give the total number OF
Protestant students of the theology
as 2.20S and of Catholic, 1,708. The
number of students of law is given at
12,146, of medicine, 1908; OF philos-
ophy, history and languages. 10,9S5,
and Of mathematics ana natuIai
sciences, 1924. The largest increase
of students has taken place in medi.
cine and philology, while there is a
continued scarcity of Protestant theo-
logical students. The best attended
university is that of Berlin, with g.
1873 students; next to this comes
Munich with < 567. LeiDSic. with A.
466: Bonn, with 1892; Halle, with
2,25O, and then Breslau, Gottingen'
F~reiburg, Strassburg and Heidel-
berg. The two last have improved
their position in the tabulated list
of attendances, whereas Tubfngen,
Geissen and Erlangen, which are
~favorite universities in summer, take
lower places in the list than former

Grading Seed Corn.

Corn growers have found out that IT
is impossible to get an even stand
of corn unless the seed is graded SO
that a uniform number of grains VIII
be deposited In practically every NIL.
This grading is much more important
when the edge drop planter Is used.
But no matter what kind OF a planter
is used or what plates are used In the
planter, unless the kernels are nearly
uniform in length and thickness an
ever stand cannot be had. In Iowa
alone it is estimated that corn grow
ers lose annually more than $5,Ooo,oOo
by not grading their seed before plant
ing. 1t will pay any corn grower who
has 40 acres or more of corn to plant,
to buy one of the small graders now
on the market. These machines VIII
sort out grains as to thickness bet
ter than can be done by hand.

BEANS As FOOD.

Have Great vaiue-Wiil Figure More

This country raised 5,064,844 bush
els Of beans in 1900 and devoted 453.
SET acres to their cultivation. That
Is at the rate of a little over clever
bushels to the acre, or q little less
than the average yield for wheat the
country over. New York state raises
more beans than any other state ex
oept Michigan, and California is third
in the list. Roughly speaking. New
York's beans belt is the western hall
Of the state.
Here as in Michigan beans have
partly taken the place of wheat as a
staple crop. They have proved more
remunerative and they have had the
additional recommendation of improv.
ing the fertility Of the soil through
their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air. AS a paper prepared by l.
C. Corbett for the Department OF
Agriculture remarks, 1t is the beans
peculiar distinction to provide food
for both man and soil. That makes II
invaluable In a scheme OF crop rota'
ton.
To the average American, beans
mean string or snap beans, plucked
when green from the small garden
or canned in their green state. Thus
produced they yield largely, as much
as 200 bushels to the acre, the price
ranging from 81 to S. a bushel, &C.
cording to the a and nearness to
a market. Yet the bean means some
thing more. Certain varieties, like
the cowpea, are valuable for grain,
for hay, as good as alfalfa, and for
green manuring unsurpassed. The
kidney, the marrow bean and the pea
are prime, foods in their dry state.
Like other of the ancient crops OF
mankind, the bean requires more hand
labor than the more recent food
staples. In the advance OF farm
science, however, satisfactory harvest
ers and thrashers have been devised.
AS an item of diet in this country
beans will figure more as meat figures
less, and the annual production Is
sure to be much enlarged.-Roches'
ter Democrat and Chronicle.

Salt for Cows.

DR.. Babcock in the Wisconsin Sta
ton Report for 1905, reports that a
COW giving twenty pounds Of milk per
day should receive from 6 to / n
of salt to furnish the sodium and
chlorin in the milk, and supply other
needs of the body. If deprived OF salt,
salt hunger results. Many so-cailed
stock foods owe their apparent value
to the salt they contain and the mix
ers of them make their money by
selling salt at from eight to twenty
cents a pound.

Textbook Morals.

Several States require by statute
The teaching of morals in the public
schools, and in New York a bill mas
been introduced into the Legislature
which requires that at least forty
lessons a year on morals be given
from a textbook. This Is all wrong.
Bows do not learn honesty and girls
modesty by getting lessons In a text
book on morals.
Have you got your lesson in NOR
als?"
mo: 1 just hate morais-worse than
algebra"
Such conversation will not be I'M
common when textbook morals are
nlanted in the schools. Any teacher
can ahear q lesson in morals. but II
he be not himself a living encyclo-
pedia OF practical morality the moral
natures of the children will be ruined
rather than benefited by book morals.
An investigation made in the sew
enth. eighth and high school grades OF
the Boston schools showed that, be-
cause of knowledge gained at home,
at school, or at church, a majority OF
the pupils had a good knowledge OF
moral obligation, while the d
of the same pupils revealed a deplor-
able state as to moral character. Nor
al instruction from fathers who are
grafters, mothers who are white liars
and teachers who are frivolous and
conscienceless will never improve the
moral condition of the young. The
first step in the teaching OF morality
was indicated by a great Teacher some
hundreds of years ago, when he said:
First cast out the beam which Is IN
thine own eye and then shalt thou see
clearly to cast out the mote which
is in thy brothers eye."-School Edu'
cation.

Manual Training.

"We want an education that shall
develop the whole man-all his In
tellectual, moral and physical powers
should be drawn out and trained and
fitted for doing good service in the
battle of life. We want wise heads,
but also skilled hands. There is a
growing demand not only for men OF
knowledge, but for men OF skill In
every department of human activity.
The tendency, then, in modern educa-
ton should be toward the practical.
We must have less work and o OIL

valuable time should be given to work
relating to the anticipated occupation
of life. and less to non-essentials. In
the city schools, manual training,
botany. economics, bookkeeping, stem

studied. In the country schools a
knowledge Of gardening, agriculture
and animal industry should be added
to the ~so-called higher ~studies.-CaI

System in Swine Breeding.

When the sows are bred | believe 1t
will pay any farmer to keep a record
when they were bred that they may
know to a certainty just when the SOW
will farrow and be prepared to take
care Of the litter. Some days before
the SOW Is due to farrow she should
be placed by herself in a warm, dry
place, where she will not be molest-
ed, and fed the same ration she has
been accustomed to, as a change In her
feed at this time would be liable to de-
range her system. Let her ration be
the same as she has been having, and
when she farrows let her alone until
she comes out; then give her only a
drink of water. When she again comes
out give her another drink and add a
very little feed to it, and only a very
little. Be careful that she is brought
to a full feed gradually that she may
not produce too great a flow OF milk
before the pigs car take 1t. This Is
certainly the most critical time n the
life of the young litter, as a little too
much milk from the SOW at first Is
almost sure to cause what Is known
among breeders as white scours, and
if not checked at once this will soon
cause death. There is also danger by
starting the milk flow too soon in
causing the sow to become feverish
and her udder will become hard and
hot, and soreness will result, so the
SOY will not let her litter suckle-
all of which goes to either kill the
pigs or SO stunt them that they will
not grow as they should.-Frank D.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Also Have Things to Learn.

For many years l have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system"
writes a veteran school teacher.
'Ten years ago I was obliged to
give up my much loved work in the
public schools after years Of continu-
Gus labor. l had developed a well
defined case of chronic coffee poison
ing.
The troubles were constipation,
f1utterings of the heart, a humping
in the top of my head and various
parts of my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head and, at
times after exertion, a general gone
feeling with a toper's desire for very
strong coffee. l was a nervous wreck
for years.
"A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package
of Postum with them, and urged me
to try 1t. I was prejudiced because
some years ago / had drunk a cup OF
weak, tasteless stuff called Postum,
which / did not like at all.
This time, however, my friend
made the Postum according to direc-
lions on the package, and it me

emit prices would be worth nearly six
hundred dollars to the producer where
as a ton of clover hay representing
about eight dollars worth of fertility
and when sold on the farm would
bring only four or five dollars. There
was a time in the history of our farm
ing when we were ignorant of these
facts and sold clover hay, but it Is
now fed to the cows, and we sell but
ter-fat instead of the hay. Every

Don't Sell Glover Hay.

Any one having cattle, and especial

OF clover grown on the farm. The fer

equal to the hay itself in value. The

Good Arrangement for Corn Crib.

Some corn cribs are so constructed
that it is necessary to have door IN
the center of the crib and when the
crib is full it is very i~nconvenient to
get the corn out especially where only
a small quantity is used daily. My crib
is built on this plan, but a few years
ago I hit on the following successful
plan. l took plank of the desired
length, nailed first eight inches from
floor to side of door casing, the other
end to post at back side of crib. Then
other planks until it was boarded up
as high as the door. Then opposite
side the same and fastened to same
post. When the other side was board
ed above the door l made a roof over
top so the corn would not fall in from
above, this gives nj a free space in
front of crib door and always plenty
of corr at bottom. 1t is a good place
to keep shovel and basket.-The Epi-
tomist.

 Two Others Burned.

Middletown, May 17.-In an att tempt to free guy wire which had crossed live electric wire running to a power house near Wesleyan uni yersity campus, John Hennesey of New Haven. in charge of the iron workers on the new dormitory build ing at Wesleyan, was instantly killed and Charles Hall of Revere Beach, Mass, and John Klass of New York were badly burned. The electric wire was charged with 2,S00 volts and Hennesey received the full force of the shock. Hall was rendered un- conscious and Klass was terribly shocked, but they will recover. The men were all working on the new dormitory when one of the guy wires fell across the wire which was used to transmit power for hoisting, etc. The power house is located near the campus and is maintained by the uni versity.
 Hennesey was 40 years old and Hall and Klass are 35. The body of Hennesey was taken to an undertak- er's and late in the day will be sent to New Haven.

Torrington, May 17.-About a score of angry Italian laborers em- ployed by Contractors Lathrop and Shea on the construction of a dam for the Coe Brass Co, three miles northwest of Torrington, this morn- ing surrounded the office of the con tracting company at the scene of the work and shouted threats at the su- perintendent, who was inside with barred doors. The superintendent telephoned to the police here for help, fearing that the Italians would break in and give him rough treat ment. Chief-of-Police L. F. Hull and Officer l.. J. Nickerson hurried to the scene and brought seventeen of the Italians to Torrington and put them aboard a train for New Haven this afternoon, telling them that they could get their wages at the New Ha- ven office of the contracting com pany. The trouble has been brew ing for months at the construction camp, which Is at place called Wrightville. The crisis was brought on this morning by the discharge of one of the Italians by the superinten- dent. No sooner had the Italian been ordered to leave work than his com rades began their demonstration.
