The Health of School Children.

We have no doubt that you are anx-
ious that your children should have
wholesome drinking water, and are
more or less careful about the supply
at home. You also try to produce
fairly comfortable seats for their use
while in the house. But did you ever,
since you were grown, try to sit still
for an hour on an average school
house seat?
Do you know anything about the
water supply at your school house?
The following forcible arraignment Of
these things as found in New England
school houses, was written for the
New England Farmer, by lady cor
respondent. It is "a long time since we
have seen anything which seemed to
us more striking, and we believe that
it will apply as~we11 to most Florida
schools as to those of the Northern
states.
One noted surgeon has lately made
the statement that $50 per cent of the
children who go to school have crook
ed back bones; that 80 per cent of this
is caused by poor seats and too long
sessions in other words that children

In light of the fact that the eucalyp-
tus can be cut every five years, many
of the barren parts of the state can be
proftably planted with the tree and a
handsome profit made out Of the
groves. The report Of the govern
ment experts compare the wood of the
eucalyptus with the hickory as fol-
lows:
"A comparison with forest service
tests ON hickory shows that thirty
yearold blue gum is stronger than
Xxx hickory and that ffteen-year-
old sugar gum is nearly as strong as
second growth hickory. Several Of the
eucalyptus varieties grow rapidly in
California, and under forest conditions
form straight, tall poles free from the
branches. They have therefore es-
pecial value as timber trees"

SEED CORN

sides making the prettiest field of corn
I had ever seen up to that time-stalks
all the same height and ears all about
the same distance from the ground,

Under pressure from the Kentucky
Exhibit Association I sent some of it
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
and was awarded a medal and diploma.
I shall this year, and probably each
succeeding year am permitted to live
and follow the delightful occupation OF
farming, buy all the corn l plant from
men who make speciality of growing
purely bred seed corn and are prepared
to give it the close attention it must
have to make and keep it high class
and of high germinability- Just as

The Great Value of the Eucalyptus.


Those who have been urging the
growing Of timber trees, have adWocat-
ed planting the Catalpa speciosa,
commonly called the hardy Catalpa.
We have never been very enthusiastic
about the Catalpa, not because it is
not valuable for timber, but because,
being hardy, it can be grown through
out the North and Northwest. In this
state we can grow other things which
cannot be grown elsewhere, or at least
not this side of the Rocky mountains.
The Eucalyptus, mentioned in an ar
ticle which we copy from the Petaluma
Poultry Journal, is the E. globulus
which Won Mueller says will stand a
temperature of 10 but is killed at II.
1t could be grown anywhere in the
orange belt. Won Mueller also says
that it has attained growth of 40
feet in four years, with a trunk one
loot in diameter in Florida The
Poultry Journals article is as follows:
The study of the mechanical and
physical properties of the eucalyptus
trees which is being conducted at the
University of California under the dl-
rection of Professor Loren E. Hunt
has brought to light some facts which
will add much to the wealth of the
state. Professor Hunt has found that
the eucalyptus is a good substitute for
many of the hard woods which are
now difficult to obtain
Recently the government took an in
terest in the work of the university
savant and an appropriation was CIV
en- him to carry on a series OF expert
ments. Assisting Hunt in the work
was A. L. Helm, the government rep
resentative, who is recent graduate
OF the University OF Purdue and an
authority on the subject of timber
testing.
The results OF the experiments OF
the two men has been set forth in a
book isued by the department. of for
estry OF the United States Govern
ment. Attention is called to the fact
that the eucalyptus has not been ex-
tensively used for commercial purpos-
es, although there are great posi-
bilities for the trees. The report states
that the blue gum, the most common
species in California, is useful for in
sular pins, in which it has displaced
to considerable degree the locust.
It is also suitable for axles. spokes,

proved scientific farming are very posi-
tive in advising that farmers be very
careful in selecting their seed corn.
Yet here is an article from a believer
in good seed corn who says that it is
cheaper to buy than to select your
seed corn. That depends, OF course,
on how far you will have to send for
your seed. It has been shown by re-
peated experiment, that the nearer
home your seed corn is grown, the
more certain is your crop to be a good
one. The following is from the Farm
er's Home Journal:
While following the business of
teaching, I laid my plans for the happy
days when I should be a farmer.
Among those plans the saving of seed
corn and breeding it up to a high
standard of excellence occupied
prominent place in my Uranium But
