Growth of Special Education

In quiet way, special education is ad-
vancing rapidly in the United States.
Nearly every state has an agricultural
school, technical school, or a school of
mines. The last generation was largely
obliged to rely upon its apprentice sys-
tenn for mechanical education. The next
will be supplied with skilled labor direct
from the schools Mining universities
add intellectually to the wealth of the
country, in the greater average OF intelli-
gent direction furnished, and the agri-
cultural colleges tend to keep farming
apace with advances in other Industrial
lines. President James, of the Univer-
sity of Illinois, said recently:
"The demand for special professional
education, the training of the farmer
and the mechanic is one which few peo-
pie trained in the old education ever
comprehended or ever appreciated in
their true value, but we now see every
day some kind of school springing into
existence which is intended to satisfy
this demand for specific and special pre-
paration. Development of agricultural
education has, it seems to me, in GER
tain directions, outrun and is today in
advance of the development of educa-
ton in other lines, and this movement
for agriculture and the mechanic arts
benefited all our higher education in
several distinct and definite ways"
Time was when the "aggies" we're
looked down upon by the academies,
but today the farming college ranks
with other sorts of special schools and
certainly in service it is second to none.
Cicero on CID age is very well in its way,
but it raises no wheat for pancakes.
The tendency in this nation is away
from art to industry and the man who
can do things, not merely think things,
will continue to be the wanted man
for a long time to come.-Inter-M Noun

Whoop 'er Up! HurrahI

The American Eagle has had cut out
for him big job of soaring and scream
ing in this portion of Idaho for the
coming Fourth of July.
Both DeLamar and Silver City, in
rivalry, have arranged elaborate pro-
grams of patriotic exercises, games,
Sports and dances, and Boise and Nam
pa each promise parades, roar of
bombs and display of fireworks, the
best ever. There is rivalry between
city and town which is putting both of
them on their metal, and both of them
will do their very best to outdo the
other. In Boise the celebration is to
assume the form of carnival, with a
floral parade, free masquerade ball in
the open air, and music galore by three
big bands and a go as one pleases royal
high jinks time, to be kept up for three
days. 1t will be whoop la bang, boom,
hurrah, good time while they remain
sober, in both towns. We wish we had
the space to publish both of their
elaborate programs.
OF course the boom aud hurrah will
not be on such grand scale in Owy-
hee's two largest mining camps, but
nevertheless each town is preparing to
enjoy a great time that day, with pa
triotic songs and exercises by the chill
dren, orations swelling with pride. brag
and patriotism sufficient to scare the
Japs out of any thought of going to war
with Uncle Sam.

THE FARM SHOP.
Place Where Small Repairing Can Be
Conveniently Done.

Every farm should have repair
shop far enough away from the other
buildings to avoid unnecessary danger
in case of fire. The shop may be
small and cheap, but it should be fit
ted up with forge, a chimney and a
solid work bench with a good steel
wise, heavy enough to hold a two-inch
shaft, and to hold it firmly. One of
the most important tools is the wise.
A good heavy steel wise costs from
five to eight dollars and it is worth
every cent Of what 1t costs. If you
get good one you can never break it
or wear it out, but If you get a cheap
one it is an aggravation from the very
first time you use it. The same may
be said Of other tools. Whatever you
get,. get good, urges The Farmer. II
you can only afford half a dozen bits,
get twist drills, because they will bore
either wood or iron, and they are &C.
curate as to size. Get other tools you
can, but get them good every time,
then use them carefully. Remember,
a buzz-saw is not intended to cut iron.
A good Jennings bit will bore a clean
hole until you run it against nail,
but it will never bore decently after
wards. If you must work old stuff
with nails in it use twist drills to bore
with.

A WASHINGTON woman discov.
IA cred some days ago that her Ger
man nurse was destroying the money
orders she purchased to remit to the
fatherland. She had torn up within
the last five years more than $500 OF
money orders, thinking they were re-
ceipts for the money deposited in the
office at Washington and that the
money had been duly sent to her old
mother in Germany.
This incident recalls the fact that
there has accumulated in the national
treasury millions of dollars, possibly
ten millions, since the establishment
of the present system in 1864.
An official, speaking of the system,
said: "This vast accumulation of
money is steadily being augmented
from year to year, and unless the peo-
pie become better acquainted with the
character Of money order transac-
ton the accumulated sum promises to
become almost fabulous. This money
has accumulated through no fault of

AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR.
TIE Dairy Woman and the Part She
Has Had in Developing the
Dairy Cow.

It is doubtful if any of the valuable
breeds of dairy COWS could have been
produced without the help of women.
That is, these breeds have been
brought to their high state of perfec-
ton because the people that have
had the care Of them for centuries
have been mostly women. The COWS
of the Channel Islands and the cows
of Holland have been under the super
vision of women for so long a time
that ''the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary"
some of our western cowboys trying
to develop breed of dairy cows Any
dairy breed they might evolve would
have the ability to run a four-minute
gait and to scale fences with little
trouble. The COW naturally partakes
something of the nature of the one
that has charge of her. Kindness has
made the Dutch COW and the Jersey
COW kind. Harshness would have
made them into animals that few
could milk. Gentleness has made
them of quiet disposition, inclined
to chew the cud in contentment, in q
feeling of perfect security. This con-
tentment has made the work of the
mammary glands easy, and great capa-
cities for the production of milk and
cream have been evolved.
The United States is little likely to
have distinctive breed of dairy
COWS. In the main, our COWS here
are in the care of men, especially in
the larger dairy establishments. On
the farms where women milk that is
the only part they have in dairying.
Men have most of the care of the ami
mails.
The dairy woman is best adapted
to take care of the dairy COW. II
more women take up dairying as an
occupation it will be a good thing for
the dairy interests. They appreciate
the value of the fine points in dairy
ing, and the fine points are what reg
ulate the value of the dairy output.

geological survey. The discussion
brought out the fact that the work in
New Jersey and Maryland had been
completed under the auspices of the
states, while that in Alabama is far
advanced.
The geological surveys of North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-.
slssippi have also done considerable
work in the coastal plain region, and
reports on the water resources OF
Georgia and Alabama have been pub.
nshed by the state bureaus.
The work of the national survey in
this area has been confined to investi
cations of underground water prob.
lens In Virginia and North Carolina
and to studies Of the phosphate de.
posits of Florida.
If present plans are carried out
field work in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Florida will be
completed in 1907, and that in Geor.
gia, Alabama and Mississippi will be
reserved for 1908.

Plan Of Cow Stall,

but believe the increase in milk is a
reward for allowing more space and
convenience to each cow
The cut shows the kind of stall
which l prefer, writes correspondent
of the Missouri Valley Farmer. The
rack, a, is of hardwood 80 inches high,
with the Stats wide enough so COW can
thrust her nose through up to her
eyes.
The bottom of the rack is 1S inches
wide, extending into the stall toward
the COW. The feed box, b, slides
through an opening in the stall on the
barn floor. It can be drawn into the
feedway, cleaned out and new feed
put in without being disturbed by the
cow.
The halter strap, c, is just long
enough to allow the COW to lie down
comfortably. The gutter, d, is eight
inches lower than the stall floor.
When she lies down she will put her
head under the rack in kneeling and
when she gets up she will move back
ward so that she can look through the
rack. The length and width of stall
can be made to suit the COWS.
