Mount Huascan, one of the highest
peaks in the world, Miss Annie S. Peck
of Providence, r. T., arrived here today

1t is not only in the rural districts
that unsanitary conditions about the

of poor drainage uncleaned stables

In many homes of cultured persons
where the laws of hygiene are known,
there is strange disregard of these, a
carelessness in the treatment of leftov-

prime absorbers of impurities; neg
lect in the removal of rubbish and gar

ASKS AID OF TEACHERS.
Prof. Storms of Ames Wants Teacher,
To Teach Agriculture.

The professors at Ames college
have grown discouraged in trying to
get better corn culture and better
dairy cows by talking to the men and
so have determined to enlist the aid
of the school teachers to educate the
little children on corn and to drive
bad dairy cows out of the state.
This was developed III the lecture
which Prof. Storms uf Ames gave
before the assembled teachers at Den
ison on Saturday last. He urged that
the teachers interest the children at
all times in practical things relating
to farming. He then produced his
charts on saving seed corn. the seed
testing box, and tables showing the
comparison between good and bad
fields of corn. He urged the teachers
to devote more time to practical
things and less to preserving flowers
in books and counting the petals
stems and pistlis. He wanted corn
compared in the school room and seed
corn tested there too. so that the ris-
ing generation would be posted and
not cultivate acres of corn where the
stalks were few in the hills and grew
nubbins. He wants the Babcock milk
tester in the hands of the teachers
and used by the pupils so that un-
profitable dairy cows would find their
way soon to the butcher block and
the good one be bred and cared for.
Prof. Storm is in earnest and his lee
ture will do much good.
