Children of Many Wealthy Families
Educated In San Antonio.
Ten carloads of school children from
Mexico have arrived in this city since
the influx began about two weeks ago,
says the San Antonio Express.
Scoers Of them were accompanied by
their parents. and the hotels of the
city have been indebted, in no small
degree, to this class OF visitors for the
brisk conditions which have been ex-
perienced by them during the last sew
,eral weeks. ;it 4: Z, a. s5 a.
Many of the children Travelled from
their distant homes alone or in pairs
or trlos. while 1t was no uncommon
sight to see parties of nine or ten from
the same localities across the Rio
Grande Mt the various hotels.
Nearly all the school equipment and
wearing apparel for the eutire year Is

position at home, their expenditures
amount to thousands of dollars.
OF all the children from Mexico who
are educated in the United States the
schools Of San Antonio secure over 70
per cent. Not only on account of the
proximity Of the city to the border, but
also because of the general excellence
of the schools and the healthful eli
mate and surroundings experienced
here. San Antonio has always been
the favorite place with the AIexicnns
for their children to obtain an English

as the denial of the utility of public
tests is concerned the fact remains that
they serve as lights in the direction of
which all must steer. 1t signifies moth
ing that the product of the COW may
apparently exceed the nutritive value
of the food consumed, but the figures
point unerringly to the possible realiza-
ton of the objects sought, and, though
the high-pressure public tests may be
of the kind not approved of by the
farmer, yet they open up to him wide
tield for reflection, and teach him that,
while he may not hope to equal such,
yet he must also test his stock. if lie is
to succeed, without regard to capacity.

1t Is claimed that dairying exhausts
the soil unless considerable food mate

Is fact easily sustained, but hun
dreds of dairymen produce upon their
farms all the food required for their
cattle. The farm may not be as liable
to loss oftfertility By dairying as-when
1t Is devoted exclusively to the growing
cereals, but it can be exhausted Of GER
tain elements, which are carried away
in the milk sold, and which are not re-
turned in the manure. Milk is a COM
plete food, being rich in nitrogen and
mineral matter. This Is derived from
the food, whether 1t be grass or grain,
and milk is as much product as any
other substance that leaves the farm.
1t Is nothing more nor less than the
changed form Of the food consumed,
and as milk can only be produced from
food, 1t Is the result of the conversion
of one into another of more concen-
trated and salable character. When
the food is converted into milk much of
the nitrogen, phosphates and potash
pass into the milk. The manure also
consists of proportion of the foods,
but the larger proportion of the valu-
able elements of food must Of neces-
sity assist to create milk, and the fact
is also demonstrated that, while we
may be blessed with an abundance of
manure, the value depends upon Its
quality and not upon the bulk.

Value of Compost.


At the North Louisiana Experiment
Station, Calhoun, La, the following
results were obtained. The land, ner-
mally. would produce one-fourth bale
of cotton, and seven to ten bushels Of
corn. By the annual application Of
thirty bushels per acre of compost.
composed Of stable manure, cotton seed,
acid phosphate and loan, this yield
has been increased from one-fourth to
one and one-half bale of cotton and
fifty to sixty bushels of corn. The an
nual expense of applying this compost
amounted to little over 81 per acre.
Build shed of any kind, out of old
material for roof. If 1t leaks some,
all the better. Spread on the ground
in layer ten inches thick ten bushels
of stable manure, wetsing thoroughly.
Over this scatter 100 pounds of acid
phosphate; then follow with another
layer of manure and phosphate, etc.:
continue these alternate layers until
all material Is used up. or until the
pile has become inconveniently high:
then cover the pile, born top and sides,
with four inches of forest mold or good
loan, taken from the fence corners.
If stable manure or mold are not avail
able, use straw, leaves or any waste
material, even weeds. Be sure and
wet all thoroughly. After the heap has
stood from four to six weeks 1t should
then be worked over and well mixed.
This Is best done by beginning at one
end and cutting it down vertically,
throwing the material in pile behind.
Wet again and cover again with loan.
1t will be ready for use In three or
four weeks.
The above proportions are for use
with cotton. Where 1t Is desired for
corn the quantity Of phosphate can be
reduced; use only fifty pounds instead
Of 100 to each layer. Thirty bushels,
or one two-horse wagon load, per acre
Of this compost will produce very
marked results. When this quantity
is used 1t is best applied in the drill,
just prior to planting. If preferred
the rows can be marked off, the COM
post distributed in this furrow and
then bed 1t. Be careful, however, not
to bury it too deep. 1t is safe to esti-
mate that this quantity Of such COM
post will more than double the crop on
poor land the arst year.

American Horse of the Future.
An interesting experiment in horse
breeding is under way in Colorado
under the direction Of the Government
Department of Agriculture. 1t is
claimed that Colorado was selected as
the location because of special adapta-
bility of soil and climate, but 1t is
more likely that 1t was chosen because
the man who outlined the plan is
resident Of that State. The idea of
developing the American types of live
stock under Government supervision
originated with Hon. e. II. Grub, of
Carbondale, Colo, who, with other
agricultural interests of the State,
succeeded in securing the cooperation
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. A start has been made
with a number of breeding mares Of
the best type Of American stock and
the stallion Cannon. The idea is to
breed new and thoroughly satisfac-
tory type of American carriage horse,
combining speed, great style and high
quality, sufficient substance to look we'll
in heavy harness, and to be able to go
long distances in little time, and with
no undue amount Of fatigue.
The work in Colorado is supplement-
ed by operations quite us interesting
to farmers in the attempt to revive
interest in the Morgan breed in coop
Grafton with the Vermont Experiment
Station. A 4O0-acre farm at Way
bridge, vt, is being used as stock
farm for development Of the Morgan
horse, and If this splendid all-round
type of horse is revived and greatly
increased IN numbers, the effort will
be Of great permanent value.
