Demand for Trained Farmers.

The last ten years has seen an enor-
nous increase in the demand for men
trained in agricultural lines. The num-
Der of such men has enormously in
creased, but the demand is not yet sup
piled.
Many Of us can look back twenty
years to the time when unframed men
were at the head Of agricultural in
struction In most of our agricultural
colleges. These men had to be employ
cd because they were the best that
could be found.
One man who rose to be the chief
dairy instructor in a State afterwards
went to dairy school and took full
course, showing that he felt that he had
something to learn, even though he
himself had been an instructor.
To-day we are getting the result of
the past twenty years of training in
the agricultural schools and their de-
Tendencies. the dairy schools. The men
at the head of the departments today
are vastly superior IN training to the
men that occupied the same positions

Save the Rotten Trees.

When the trunks of cherry trees have
started to decay probably the best way
OF checking it is To clean ont the dead
wood. paint the wound thoroughly with
whitewaSh, or, better yet, with Bor-
deauX mixture. and then cover the
whole wound with grating wax or
clay, 90 as to keep the water out. While
this may not result in an entire healing
over of the bad wounds. it will prob
ably stop the decay, and make the trees
last longer than they would if left with
out treatment. Don't be afraid to re-
move all the rotten wood, rs il adds
nothing to the strength of the tree and
has tendency to promote rot i'll the
new tissues. 1t is quite likely that this
rot started in the tunnel of II borer and
has gradually spread until it IS serious.

AN APPEAL TO WOMEN.
They Should Trade at Home as a Mat
ter of Duty.


Ladies, are you doing your trading
at home? don't mean all Of it. but so
much Of it as you can, writes Richard
A. Haste in q recent magazine. Be-
fore you send to the city are you CIV
ing your home merchant chance to
sell to you or to send and get what
YOU want? You want this merchants
shelp to make your home town better
place to live in. Now and then you
want donation of S.. $40 or S25 for a
worthy purpose; it may be the build
ing of church or the establishment of
hospital or it may be the parking Of
a street.
Are you doing all in your power to
help this merchant in his business so
that he may be able to give to these
worthy objects?
Are you advising your friends to
trade at home. even if you can save a
dime by sending away?
Or do you belong to a soap club and
get your teas. your sugar. your coffee
and thousand other things sent you
by mail and express?
Have you a collection Of catalogues
in your house to which you so when
you wantla rug or piece Of furni-
ture?
Are you premium fend?"
Are you always trying to get some
thing for nothing? You will never
get it.
But that does not matter. While you
are trying you are the worst possible
enemy your own community has. You
are false to your first civic duty. And
all that you may do toward the i'm
prov orement of your home town will be
futile as long as the lifeblood is being
dra wn away.

A Funny Game.

Have a sheet or screen so placed
that shadows may be cast upon. 1t
Facing it have one of the players sit
ting in such a position that he can see
only the screen. not anything that Is
going on behind him. This player is
called "the watchman." Now, behind
the watchman and at such q distance
that there is space for person to walk
between the watchman and the light
place candle.
The object of the game is for the
watchman to guess from the shadows
cast who is passing behind him.
The players. going one by one. may.
disguise themselves by limping. bow
ing the head or wearing hat. but gen.
orally the watchman, if he is discern
ing, may detect the player by some Pc
culiarity. For every one he guesses
correctly a forfeit m'. be paid by the
one discovered.

What County Can Do For Its Court
house.
Although public spirit for public well
fare may be as earnest in the heart OF
the country dweller as in that Of the
citizen Of the large town, there are
fewer possibilities for its manifesto
ton. One Of the first opportunities
open to the residents Of a county. says
the May Delineator, is to see that the
courthouse is dignified. beautiful
building.
The county courthouse represents
the seat of government. 1t stands for
authority. for justice and for wise ad-
ministration of the laws which the
people have themselves enacted. 1t IS
fitting that it should be the best build
ing the county can afford. A pretty
custom is to place the courthouse in
the center of large square, shaded by
trees and made beautiful with beds Of
flowers Benches along the walks af-
ford a resting and meeting place for
visitors to the town, while fountains
and hitching posts should be placed
along the edges.
Many counties have made their court
houses objects of public interest with
excellent results.
