Agriculture a Science.

The teaching of agriculture in the
public schools, aided by practical
demonstrations on even a very small
patch of ground, is giving recognition
to the dignity and Importance of one
of the worlds chief industries, which
has heretofore lacked such recogni-
ton in some sections of the country.
The science of agriculture should
be studied not only by those who are
or may be engaged in farming, but by
all who may become interested in the
forces of nature and the progress and
! development of the foundation of all
wealth and prosperity.
It has been found that school chill
dren nearly always manifest a deep
interest in the planting IN cultiva-
ton of the small experimental gar
dens maintained in connection with
the schools, and the open-aiI exercise
therein is beneficial as we'll as in
structive. The lessons are useful 20
them whether or not they may after
wards engage in gardening o. farm
ing, and they will profit by them in
many ways, even the children of the
urban schools.
But if the teaching of agriculture is
useful and advantageous to the pupils
of the city public schools, how much
more so must it be to the pupils of
the rural schools. Here the farmers
koys and girls may be taught much
| concerning the chemistry Q: the soils,
the conditions and necessities of plant
life and the science of production.
Their elders with all their years of
practical experience in farming in the
old ruts without much effort in the
direction of new and improved meth

ity of the soil to crops or the needs

these pupils will learn.
Agriculture is a science that should
be taught in the schools, and it is as
honorable and dignifed as any of the

Money in Celery.

49, 1AOASy HA SCACEys
we have your letter asking for in
formation regarding the crop of eel
cry we raised. and which netted us
$l025 for the one acre planted.
This was an experimental crop, and
was the first celery OF any Importance
planted in this valley.
The greater portion Of this valley
will produce celery of a very superior
quality when put under irrigation,
combined with proper cultural meth
DDS.
The varieties tested were golden.
sef-blananing and white plume, but
ind the latter very inferior to the
former in all respects, and would con-
slider it a waste of time and money
to plant any other but the golden self
blanching celery.
Following will give you the man
ner in which the crop was produced,
and Enthusiastically a pound Of seeG
is sufficient to plant one acre:
The seed was sown September 20,
In narrow beds and covered about
rone inch deep with rice stra v and the
beds irrigated. At the end of two
weeks the seed began to terminate,
when the straw was removed and the
beds irrigated again, and as often
thereafter as was necessary to keep
the beds damp and plants II -four
ishing condition. ,
Be3s were weeded by hand as often
as required.
Began transplanting to the field
December Is, when plants were about
four inches high, and continued as
the smaller plants attained sufficient
height until January 10, when the
acre was completed.
Plants were set out in shallow
trenches. about three inches below
the level o. the land, in double rows,
ten inches apart, and six inches apart
three feet apart from centre to centre.
They were irrigated Immediately
o. not later than one hour after set
ting out down between the double
rows, and at intervals of two or three
days thereafter until the plants be-
came established.
Shortly thereafter 1000 pounds of
a high grade commercial fertilizer
was applied at one application be-
tween and alongside the double rows,
and thoroughly incorporated into the
soil by cultivation and irrigation.
The crop was cultivated frequently
and irrigated about every two weeks
until near maturity, when we we're
unable to obtain water for four weeks
caused by the repairing o. a aume
across a resaca and repairing 1evees,
which decreased the crop and results
fully forty per cent.
Commenced harvesting April 1 and
finished May 10.
Total yield was 800 crates of about
100 pounds each.
Prices obtained ranged from So to
81 per crate. according to grade and
condition Oh market.
Gross sales amounted to ~S1979.S0,

Cnre OF Chicks.

Says J. R. Young, in the Southern
Fancier: We believe that young
chicks should be fed strictly a dry
food, and very seldom do we feed a
wash. When we do, we put a lot of
charcoal in the mash. The charcoal
prevents the mash from souring in
their crops. Some may differ with us
as to which is the best-a dry food or
a wet one, but we found out by ex-
perience that we raised more when
we used a dry mixed grain feed. We
use plenty of charcoal, grit and beef
meal. We feed our young chicks four
or five times a day. We don't keep
the feed before them all the time,
but give them abundance at a feed,
and we have our serious doubts
whether a growing chick, after it was
three weeks old, was overfed. A
growing chick should have all it can
eat. This is necessary for proper de-
velopment if you want them for the
show room. Ninety-nine per cent.
fail in the show room, caused by lack
of feed when the chicks we're young,
where one fails that was overfed.
When the chicks reach the proper
age, and they have strength to follow
the hen, we allow them to run in a
grass lot we have, after the sun has
dried the dew off the grass, where
they catch bugs and insects. Out of
the large number we lave had
Matched, we have lost bus five this
season. Some hens we have given
as many as thirty chicks, too.
The best way to have no lice on
the chicks is to rid the hen of them
before the chicks are Matched. #
head lice get on them, we have found
either of the following remedies will
do the work: Rub on top OF their
heads a little salty grease, or take a
little vaseline and add to it a few
drops of either oil of cedar or penny
royal. We have used salty grease and
like it best of all. We keep our
chicks in the house a week before al
lowingzt.em outdoors.

Oats in the South.

r. j, Redding, of the Georgia Sta
ton, points out that the poor results
with oats in the South are due to a
large extent to poorly-selected seed
and careless methods of culture, but
that one of the main reasons for it's
limited culture in that region sis the
alleged uncertainty of the oat crop,
because of the danger of winter kill
ing, if the seeding is done in the fall,
and the liability to rust or injury
from drouth, if sown in tho spring."
He, however, gives it as his opinion,
that under proper conditions, most
of which are under u control, or
subject to modifying precautions, the
Dat crop can be made a more certain
crop than corn" n5
Farm and Home says that expert
ments made by several Southern ex-
perimclt stations have shown that at
least much better results with oats
than those indicated by the crop sta
tistics a be secured in many local
tiles. Experiments extending over a
period of ten years have recently been
summarized by J. F. Duggar in a bull
letin of the Alabama Station, and the
results obtained show by what meth
DDS an Improvement in yield may be
effected and the culture of the crop
advanced.
In experiments at the Arkansas
Station three varieties of faIl-sown
oats gave an increased yield of 1872
per cent. over twenty varieties of
spring-sown oats. Culberson and Vir-
ginia Gray gave highest yield from
fall sowing, and averaged over forty
bushels per acre.
The work of the experiment station
referred to would seem to demon
strate hat oats should be grown to
greater extent with profit in the
South, provided, as Professor Dug
gar says, farmers will make the two
following innovations in the usuaI
method of caring for the crop: I'D
Sowing in the early or middle fall;
Cd applying nitrate of soda as a top
dressing in March, or sowing on land
where a soilimproving crop, like cow
peas, has recently grown" The GER
tainty and r-oft of the crop will be
still further increased by more atten-
ton to selection of varieties and seed,
thorough preparation of land, meth

The Problem of rearing children in the home is immensely simplified if in addition to wholesome environment there is an ancestry which can be pointed te with pride. Often at the critical time in the career of the boy or the girl the pride they feel in the family name and record Is the only in fuence that serves to keep them from going wrong. On the other hand, 1t Is not strange that many young people do go wrong when, coupled with lack of home training there Is the further handicap of a vain and irresponsible mother or scalawag father. Yet ill spite of such drawbacks as these the individual boy or girl should strive to attain the best for his or her own sake In the hope that in the future he or she may hand down to any children as heritage clean record and q good name, in comparison with which wealth and cheap fame are very minor and shoddy considerations.

If these statements are correct, Kansas has no occasion for taking back seat.
