LADIES TEACHING FARMING.

An Interesting fact noted by lead
ing western educator, State Superin-
tendent Bishop Of Nebraska. who is 4
pioneer In the field Of agricultural sdu-
cation In the rural schools, IL the prom
insnt part which lady county superin-
tendents Of schools are taking In the
matter Of introducing these subjects
into the courses Of study in the schools
under their charge. One Nebraska
hdy superintendent has 700 children

enc residing In a southern Iowa coun-
~ has issued a special bulletin dealing
With practical scientific agricultural
subjects. Some idea OF the interest
which the department Of public in
struetion in Nebraska is taking n this
tine Of work may be gained from the
fnct that arrangements have been
made by Mr. Bishop to hold the con-
ventions Of the Nebraska Boys Agri-
cultural society and the Nebraska

A COSTLY LESSON.

While the numerous forest fires
which ragged IN 20 many states during
September and October are deplorable
from almost every point Of view, II Is
more than likely that they will serve
q real mission in calling the attention
Of tho people OF the country TO the
Immediate necessity Of the Inaugural
ton Of radical and vigorous measures
for the protection and conservation OF
the nations rapidly diminishing forest
resources, which will include not only
the planting OF new areas to forest
trees, but the patrolling Of present ma
tiopal and state reserves IN such man
ner as to prevent or at least greatly
decrease the enormous losses which
have resulted IN the present year from
the one cause Of forest fires This les
son Of forest preservation is one that
we are very slow to learn as people
n costly experience such as we have
had the present year being about the
only way It could be effectively i'm

A Worthy Exhibit.

There have been numerous grange
exhibits at county fairs this season.
and It Is a good sign Perhaps one OF
the most interesting Of these was at
the Hudson fair. Columbia county,
when Lindenwald grange Of Kinder
hook exhibited lGl varieties Of fruits,
vegetables, grains. flowers. nuts and
canned fruits. They exhibited 80 va
rieties Of apples. 10 Of grapes, u Of
pears, - of vegetables, II Of flowers
and II Of canned fruits. This grange
won the first prize Of $40. German
town range exhibited 1874 varieties, Of
which "a were apples, 2s Of pears and
% Of grapes. and won $50. Claverack
grange exhibited 81 varieties, among
which were 10 varieties OF cucumbers,
ii of beets and 10 OF beans. Living
ston grange had 81 varieties. These
two oranges were awarded $40 each.

10 THE INVESTMENT SAFE,
friend makes innnirv as tn th,

fneno makes inquiry as to the
wndom OF purchasing land as far west
- Martin county. Tex, which the map
SHOWS to be about a hundred miles
west Of the one hundredth meridian.
Generally speaking. the ninety
nsridian is accepted as the agricul-
Sur1l dead line" west Of which there
u little use to break up the soil for
dIhge purposes. A glance at any civil
nap Of the United States will show
bow uniformly the western tide Of set
Element has stopped at this line, as
shown By the location Of towns. As
1ndicated In this way, It Is seen to run
b almost direct line from the north
srn boundary of North Dakota through
b southern Texas. II is true that dur
ing the past six or seven years the
rainfall has been sufficiently heavy. so
that fair success In purely agricultural
pursuits has been had on lands lying
quite distance west Of this line, while
the breaking up Of considerable areas
may have had modifying effect ON
drought conditions. But a cycle Of dry
years Is quite likely to come and 1t is
conditions which will prevail in such
seasons that the land seeker should
take note Of II he has in mind purchas-
ing a permanent farm home. The ear
marks Of this dry country, which is not
lacking In fertility, but in moisture,
are buffalo grass, sagebrush and cac-
tus. Where herbage Of this kind
abounds more conclusive evidence is
furnished Of the unwisdom Of purchas-
Ing for tillage purposes than In any
"spiel" the agent may make, unless, In
deed, Irrigation is possible, when the
situation Is entirely altered. The IN
vesting Of from $1,000 to $4,000 or
$1,000 In a quarter section Of land is a
serious move as well as an important
one for the man Of limited means who
has had to work hard for his savings
The step should be taken only after
thorough. sober and careful investiga-
don Better fellow should spend
800 acquainting himself thoroughly
with q prospective land purchase than
to buy In haste and find out later that
he has been deceived and swindled.

Tho Essay EXCHANGE.

Two or three Of the state lecturers
at least have established recently what
Is called an ESSAY exchange" Es-
says on various topics suitable to be
read in grange meetings are written
and loaned to oranges that may be in
need Of such material. The idea is a
good one, and yet the essay exchange
should not be allowed TO take the place
Of essays or papers written by mem
bers Of the grange. However, the lat
ter may be consulted, and essays which
it furnishes may be occasionally used
to help out programme where there
may be but few who feel themselves
qualified to prepare papers.

How to Cure Blis.ers on Feet.

Blisters Of the feet, usually at the
heel. are due to friction by rough shoes
or wrlnkled stockings. The fluid should
be allowed to escape through a minute
hole, made by the point of sterllized
needle, and the skin left in place. To
avoid these blisters the shoes should
be well fitting aud the stockings quite
smooth. Before starting out on long
tramp dust the feet with this powder:

flint coating.

Although the roofing is laid with
the flint side down, the flint is a
very valuable addition. as it abso-
lutely prevents the oofng from
sticking together in the rolls when
shipped, assists materia lily in the in
sulating qualities Of the roofing and
forms minute air spice between
the roofing and roof boards, thus
preventing dry rot, and keeps the
roofing from adhering to the sheath
ing, thus adding materially to the
resistance against heat or cold.
