JUST a GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
NobIeman Had Never Tried.

The earl of Surrey. afterward eley-
enth duke of Norfolk. who was a mo-
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and leading member of the Beef
steak club, was so far from clearly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his fits of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose of wash
ing him On these occasions they
stripped him as they would corpse
and performed the needful ablutions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror of clean linen. One day, on
his complaining to Dudley North at
his club that he had become a per-
feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
Pray. my lord, did you ever try
clean shirt?"

The sense of smell is also appealed to,
as peculiar, very offensive, and ex-

heads towards home, and Tapping

AGRICULTURE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BY Prof. d. O. Barto, University OF /
Illinois, Agricu1turaI College.

First there must be body.o teach.
ers with special training for this
work; second. pupils must remain
longer in school; third, the work
should be adapted to local conditions
and the capacity of the pupils.
The agricultural colleges. have al.
ready worked out and formulated a
vast amount of scientific knowledge
admirably adapted to Institutional
work in the secondary schools. Our
: own college of agriculture has begun
the training of teachers for such
schools.
l would like to make the study of
agriculture permanent feature in the
course of every high school, because
the deepest interest of this communal.
ty is agriculture. and I believe it
to be the duty Of the high school to
advance the interest of the people
who are supporting it and give the
child that training which shall best
fit him for his vocation; because tho
environment Of these pupils is wholly
OF the country and the farm, and
therefore agriculture provides the
most effective field in which to reach
and teach them; because agricultural
science offers a subject for education
al purposes unsurpassed by any other
in our schools.
Instruction for these boys and girls
should be about things which enter
into their daily life, and have to do
with the interests of the home and the
farm. with earning living, and max
ing money-why these are real thines.
and have never been associated in
their minds with school and educa,
ton. These young people have
learned by daily contact many of the
commoner theories and practices of
farm life, but when they learn in
these schools how the key of science
can unlock for them the mysteries of
the soil and give them power to con-
troll plant and animal life as they win
the indifference which has walled n

THE FARMER BOY.
Temper the Work to His Strength
and Let Him Have His Play Time.

Every farmer desires to keep his
boy at home as long as he can do so,
that he may thus live protected life
as long as possible. This is right 1t
is mistake to permit the farm boy
to launch out for himself at too ten
der an age. The father of the boy
must remember that the muscles of
the boy are not hard like his own and
that he cannot do the same amount of
work as he himself can do, with
equal ease. The muscles of a grow
ing boy are soft, for they are con-
stantly being increased in size by the
addition of new material.
Many farm boys are driven from the
farm by too hard work They are
made to take the place of hired man
at a very early age and the father
often forgets that they have not the
same indifference to pleasures as him
self. The boy needs a good deal of
recreation and a chance to mingle
with other farm boys The farm boy
should have fair chance at the pleas
ures Of childhood and youth, as the
city boy has. His work should be
carefully limited.
The usual farm boy is a worker
anyway. He early learns to do the
most difficult tasks on the farm, says
Farmers Review, and is worth much
more to his parents than any hired
man is worth. His parents should
therefore study him and his needs
His needs include many things besides
the food he gets and the clothes he
wears. "All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" is an old saying.
but strictly true. Many a farm boy
has been overworked into a dullness
that has lasted him his life through.

PHASES OF AMERICAN AND
EUROPEAN FOUL BROOD
Disease Which Works Hive-By G. f. white
PHI D.. u S. Department AsricuIture

American foul brood toften called
simply foul brood'D is distributed
through all parts of the United States,
and from the symptoms published in
European journals and texts one is
led to believe that it is also the preva-
lent brood disease in Europe. Al
though it is found in almost all Sec
tons of the United States, there are
many localities entirely free from d.
sease of any kind
The adult bees of an infected colony
are usually rather inactive and do
little toward cleaning out infected ma
terial. When the larvae are first af-
fected. they turn TO a light chocolate
color. and in the advanced stages of
decay they become darker, resembling
roasted coffee in color Usually the
larvae are attacked at about the time
of Gaping, and most of the cells con-
tanning infected larvae are capped.
As decay proceeds, these cappings be-
come sunken and perforated, and, as
the healthy brood energies, the comb
shows the scattered cells containing
larvae which have died of disease,
still capped. The most noticeable
characteristic of this infection is the
fact that when small stick is in
serted in larva which has died of
the disease. and slowly removed, the
'broken-down tissues adhere to it and

ALFALFA AND FERTILITY.
One Farmer in the West Finds the
Two Go Together.

Out here in the west where corn
and wheat and oats have been our
staples for years we have found the
land to demand something to replen-
ISL the humus that grain growing took
from 1T, writes a correspondent of
Farmers Voice. The day of the big
grain farmer who wrings the fertility
from the land and does not put back
enough to help the next seasons crops
is about past. Farmers of the great
corn belt have learned that corn land
needs fertilization the same as any
other; that the growing of corn and
cattle and hogs and alfalfa is the So
luton Of maintaining fertility. To-day
there is more cattle feeding than ever
in the corn belt, and it has come about
because of the desire to maintain fer
tility. The great increases in popula-
ton will in time make the price of
corn land double what it now is if it
is fertile,
There is a lot of meaning in those
few words. Not only has the corn
grower found that the signs point to
future fertility, he has discovered that
immediate benefits come from fer
tility, hence the big feed lot with its
cattle and hogs and consequent big
loads of manure to feed to the hungry
land. Every farmer in the corn belt
will grow alfalfa. Where it would
not grow ten years ago, to-day flour
lshes and waves in the summer wind.

derful plant is not over. IT'S only
begun. The wise farmers only are
utilizing it. The smart ones ignore
it. Twont grow here" they say,
trying to initiate the sages
Corn and alfalfa rotated keep I'D
the lands life. and if the manure of
stables, hog pens and feeding yard
is added, fertility will increase and
land bear heavy crops as well. Let
the farmer send his produce to market
On the hoof and feed up all his hay
and grain. A field that has grown al
falfa three years to five will produce
from a fourth to a third more corn
than land that was of the same orig
lnal value in fertility, but which has
grown corn continuously. Three cut
tings of extra good hay can be made
from the average alfalfa field, and in
extra good years four may be made.

TO two tons per acre.
l know one farmer of $50 acres of
and worth over $4,000 who saw five
years ago the evils of grain growing,
but who now grows alfalfa and corn
and dairy cows. His is the best pay-
ing farm that know of in the great
state Of Nebraska, and he tells me
hat such combination as he is work
ng towards is steadily upbuilding fer
ility and increasing the revenue.
Another stockman whose $40 acres
S worth $4,000 keeps half in alfalfa
he whole time and half in corn. He
ships in his feeders and generally fats
500 head every fall and winter. His
arm grows heavier crops to-day than
ever before, so he says, and he blames
The alfalfa plant, manure spreader and
steer for the results.
