Parents and Pupils ii Lucknow.

Dear Parents and Pupils: Til
summer holidays are fast DRAWN,
to a close and we hope each and al
have spent very pleasant vacation
and are ready for the coming schoo
days. shall soon begin my thirc
years work with you all. My pas
two years work recall with pleas
ure, for indeed both parents anc
pupils have proven my friends. Il
seems they (most of them) die
everything TO make my work pleas
ant and lvalue their kindness more
than Ican tell. And as | said, va
cation will be over soon; teachers
and pupils are to meet again to be-
gin our duties. Are we all ready?
Yes, indeed, I am ready and hope
to find every child ready to begin.
Let us do all we can to make the
years work at good old Lucknow
the very best known in its history.
AS to my part, shall do all in my
power to do this, and to succeed in
this great effort we need the con-
slant help of the parents and pupils.
Help us as you have in the past and
when our third year S work has end
ed we hope you will look back over
your work with pride and say, our
work has not been in vain.
Parents, have you children who
are not quite ready to start just yet
on first day. If SO, try and get
them ready; and, pupils, you your
selves, hustle around and help them,
for we need and want every child in
the district and would so liketo have
them the very first day, so we.
can class them better. But, parf(
ents, we realize that you sometimlU
need your boys and girls, and pkf-
haps it is impossible to prepare
them for the first week. If not try
and have them ready the second, if
not then start them at your earliest
convenience, for if you wish to get
the full value of any school, place
your child in school early and keep
them through the whole term, for
no teacher, however good she may
be, can teach your child unless he
or she IS there to be taught. The
greatest secret Of a child's success
IN the school room is regularity is
This is the great advantage c N

Melba In Paris.

Nine Melba has seldom received
such a remarkable ovation as that
which greeted her appearance at the
recent opera gala performance in
Paris. 1t cannot, however, compare
In delirious enthusiasm with one she
received some years ago in st. Peters
burg. On one memorable night, after
the close of the opera, she was called
before the curtain again and again
for more than an hour, until she was
SO exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the no.
tel, where they serenaded her, al
though it was a bitterly cold night,
until three O'Clock in the morning. On
the following day when she reached
the station to depart the platform was
crowded with hundreds of adoring
music lovers. AS the train was leav-
ing they took the pencil with which
she had written her autograph for
all who could get near her, bit it into
small pieces and passed them around
as souvenirs.

Root Pruninw of Corn.

Deep blowing among the growing
corn, after the roots have met in the
rows, may cause harm; root pruning
is a mistake; to break the roots checks
the growth and in hot, dry weather
deep cultivation will surely cause the
corn to curl, showing injury, while
shallow working will keep it fresh and
green. AS soon as a crust is formed on
the soil it should be broken up, to cd
NIT both moisture and air, for the one
dlssolves the fertilizing matter which
is in the soil. and the other affects It's
decomposition and renders it soluble
So that, after rain which has crusted
the surface, the cultivator should be
started as soon as the soil is Try
enough This tends to hold the mols-
ture and prevents its speedy evapora-

Prices for milk, cream and butter are
high, very high for the time of the year,
and may go higher and continue high
through the winter This prospect
should encourage farmers to do the
best possible for their COWS to keep up
a good flow of milk. Keeping the COWS
i'll the stable on cool nights and feeding
to the most profitable point or limit
should be practiced.
Do not undertake to winter more
stock than can be we'll kept, as there
is no profit in this. Use plenty of bed
ding, SO that the COWS may be kept
clean. Feed the best combination of
grains, market cost considered, for the
production of milk along with the we'll

To Check ing

If the bees did not persist in dividing
their forces so frequently, much more
surplus honey could be obtained, and
the beekeeper himself would feel more
easy about his bees. In producing comb
honey in 1-pound boxes, it is necessary
to actually crowd the bees into the sec
ton boxes, for they seem loath to be
gin work in such small divisions, and
this crOwding is one of the incentives
which creates the swarming fever.
When producing extracted honey, album
dant room can be given, and the swarm
ing impulse is greatly checked. There
fore, if bees are to be kept far from
the house, and cannot be given much at
tention, 1t Is advisable to produce only
extracted honey, which is done by Civ
ing the bees large combs and plenty Of
room, for it matters not whether the
combs are entirely completed or not. as
the honey is taken from them and Che
combs retained to be used.

The Bull.

No man can afford to head his herd
with a scrub bull. The blood is an i'm
portant item. though not the whole
thing Granted that you see the ad-
visibility of a pure bred sire, the next
question is how tc care for him. If
you paid 500 to $500 for a bull you
naturally want to give him such care
as to keep him in his prime as long as
possible. 1t is best to have a stall or
shed for the bull where he will be sep
arated from the herd. Give him yard
large enough 50 that the confinement
will not be too severe, and be sure to
have his yard surrounded by bull
fence. 1t is as important to keep people
out Of the bull pen as 1t is to keep the
bull in. If possible, it is an excellent
thing to give him a pasture If you can
tdrn him out without having him run
with the mixers. Often there is a pas
ture for the calves or young stock tlat
can be used. Keep him in good condi-
ton, but do not keep him fat enough
for the show ring all the year round.
1t doesn't pay. Always give him kind
treatment, but do not let him become
familiar with yOu.-TeXas Farm jour

Steer Feeding.

The Pennsylvania Station has made
some interesting experiments on the
value of shelter for steers being fed.
II was found that if the lots were kept
dry, shelter was not always necessary.
Shelter has very little effect upon the
appetite Of the animals, except in ex-
IRENE weather.
In this climate it Is seldom that the
weather is too cold for steers on full
feed outdoors, provided they are kept
in dry quarters and out of strong
winds.
1t is very essential for fattening
steers that they be we'll bedded
1t is decidedly advantageous that the
yard be macadamized or given an i'm
perviOus coating Of some kind to pre-
vent mud during soft weather. Wet
bedding and muddy yards are more in
furious than extreme cold.
The amount of feed repaired per
pound Of gain is practically the same
whether the steers are kept in a warm
basement stable or outside.

have plenty of it in the COW stables.
Gull close when selecting the stock
for the breeding pen for use next sea
son.
Don't mix wood ashes with the ma
nure as it will cause loss of the am

Avoid feeding the sheep too long. as
after q certain degree of fat is put on
at greatly increased cost.
Farmers must take heed and follow
methods which will help to maintain
the fertility Of the soil.
Add two quarts of molasses to Your
barrel of cider and expose to warmth
and air if you want it to turn to vine

The best dairying is high class work

Ventilation is a good thing, but don't
trust TO the broken window and the
cracks in the wall and around the
