Test Your Seed Corn.

Poor seed corn means missing
hills, one-stalk hills and weak
stalks, producing little or moth
ing. 1t means wasted land and
wasted labor. 1t means less than
thirty bushels of corn per acre in
the corn belt" instead of forty
or forty-tivc bushels. On this
point, Prof. Holden, the noted
corn specialist, says: "If the
cornfelds of the United States
were mine and | could give but
one order, that order would be,
to test six kernels of corn from
every ear that was intended for
planting" Such testing in care
fully arranged test boxes that any
farmers boy can make in a few
minutes would discover in time
to prevent the planting of the
corn from ears that are unsound
from any cause, and this year it
will be found that many an ear
that looks good on the surface
has weak vitality and has no
business in the seed pile

One of the most complete as

cured at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Koozer's, northeast of the
city on last Saturday evening,
when about sixty friends,
deliberately dressed in fashion
to represent hard-times, took
possession of the home. The
costumes consisted of old rags
that had been discarded for
various other purposes and were
so arranged as to make a great
deal of merriment. Mr.. Ralph
Johnson and Mrs. w. w. Bishop
took first prizes for having the
most artistic costumes. Mr..
Johnson's prize being a hand
some one-jeweled watch and Mrs.
Bishops being a fourteen karat
brass ring of which the owners
are justly proud. Mr.. F. A.
Bertrand and Mrs. Nj. d. Callen
carried away the BOBBY prizes.
One of the chief attractions OF
the evening was the harmonious
melodies of the dish pan drum
corps with Mr.. Johnson as drum
major. Refreshments were in
accordance with the times the
party represented. The partici.
pants considered it the most com.
plete success of the season.

Educational Meeting a. oconto.

The educational meeting held
at Oconto, Friday, January IL,
was a success. Superintendent
Pickney presided, and the pro-
ceedings were begun by an
address by Mr.. Pinckney indicat-
ing to the teachers their duties
in order to make the meeting a
help to the teachers and COM
munity. Mr.. John w. Lang was
appointed secretary. The teach
ers and visitors joined in singing
our National song, America"
Miss Eflie Hanley read an
interesting paper entitled:
Essentials of Teaching Reading"
Miss Hanley set forth the fact
that the child must be taught to
get the thought hold the thought,
and be able to give the thought
to others. If the child has got
ten the thought in his mind at
the time he reads, his expression
will be good. The subject was
further discussed by Mr.. Pinckney
and others, in which the i'm
portance of thought reading was
emphasized.
Mr.. John w. Lang gave some
illustrative lessons on the subjects
of History, Literature, iGeog-
raphy, and Arithmetic, in which
the process of reading general
truths was developed.
A paper entitled: Relation
of Parents to Teachers"'was read
by Miss Rachel Burbank, in
which it was stated that such a
relation was not as it should be.
Miss Burbank stated that, to
secure the best results, feeling
Of harmony should prevail be-
tween teacher and parents. The
reading closed with the we'll
known words: "In unity is
strength"
OThe audience joined in singing
our popular song, "Custer
County"
The subject: Experience
Meeting for Teachers and
Parents" was disc used by Mr..
F. O. Prunty, in which the i'm
portantance of the teacher keep
ing in close touch with the
patrons was emphasized. The
patrons should know, personally,
every teacher of the county.
They could then assist the school
board in selecting teacher. IN
Miss Edna Grove read a paper
on Pedagogy, in which the i'm
portance of the subject to the
teacher was clearly set forth.
"How to. Secure Regular At
tendance and Punctuality," was
discussed by several of the teach
ers. 1t was decided that the
perfect attendance certificate was
quite a factor is encouraging
regular attendance. If the re-
lation of parents to teacher is
what it should be, there will not
be much trouble in securing
punctuality and regular attend
ance.
Gaining the Good Will of the
Child" was discussed by Miss
Maggie Conroy, in which the
Importance of properly training
the will of the child was en-
phasized. The teacher should
be careful about the tone of her
voice and never allow herself to
get into a passion. The teacher
should govern by moral suasion
rather than by physical strength.

The Fences Must Co.

Secretary Hitchcock is after
the land grabbers with VEN
genee. In an order just issued
to the special agents and receiv-
ers and registers of local land
Offices, he has declared that all
fences enclosing public lands
must be removed before April lst
If they are not removed by that
date, the U. S. government will
tear them down. President
Roosevelt has heartily endorsed
this decisive action Of Mr.. Hitch
cocks, although the strongest
possible pressure has been
brought to bear upon the adj
ministration to balk the order of
the Interior Department. There
may be some notifications ar
ranged later, permitting such
land grabbers to lease from the
government the lands they now
have under fence, and ia this
manner the fences will be allowed
to remain up so long as all the
laws are complied with and the
leases are not abrogated. This,
however, will be a matter for
Secretary Hitchcock to decide
later, and in his characteristic
way he is making no promises.
