IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

1t is all right to talk or teaching the
rudiments of agriculture in the country
schools, but where are the teachers to
come from who can give such practical
instructions?" objects the Cedar Rap
ids Republican. There are plenty of
children who ought to learn about
farming and about housekeeping, but
there are not plenty of teachers who
nowadays are competent to give such
instruction"
Better plod along without resolu-
tions and let providence and luck take
care of you and do your best every day
in the year." advises the Abba Union.
The Vinton Eagle thinks it probable
tho mot within our lives will the
exigencies arise when it will be neces-
sary to have another state house ma
chine. Let these men make their ap-
pointments as they see fit so long as
they appoint good men. 1t is but little
use now to inquire what they once were
SO far as factional alignment goes. The
man who pays no attention to it will
be happier than .iie man who bothers
with it."

APPLES IN IOWA.
((Nadar Falls RaoordN


Down in Iowa county near Williams
burg are couple of farmers named
Harrington who are raising apples for
that whole section. They go about it in
a systematic manner. In the first place
the best varieties were planted some
years ago. In these second place a
spraying outfit is used with great care
and at proper times and thirdly, the or
chards are given the closest attention.
Pruning is done in q systematic man
ner. Insects of a dangerous character
are promptly suppressed and every
thing is done that insures longevity
of the trees and fertility of bud and
blossom. The result is that apple rails
ing Is profitable. At the meeting of the
state horticultural society in Des
Moines recently these men had a fine
collection and the apples were as free
from knots and scars as are the varie-
ties shipped here from Colorado and
California while the flavor surpasses
these. At the national horticultural
meeting at Council Bluffs these men
won first honors. What the Iowa county
farmers are doing others can do also,
Iowa ought to raise its own apples and
more too AS it now is millions of bar
rels are shipped into the state from
Michigan and New York.
SCHOOLS FOR BLIND AND DEAF.
Davenport 'Times.)
The Vinton Eagle calls attention to
the fact that, whereas the law requires
all children Of school age to attend the
public schools, 1t seems not to have
been interpreted to apply to or it does
not apply to deaf and blind children.
1t is point Of Importance. If the laws
of the state require that no child who
has eyes and who can hear and talk be
allowed to grow up without attending
school a certain number Of weeks in
every year, why should blind chill
dren or deaf children be allowed to
grow up In ignorance? Surely they
need all the training that special
schools can give them.
However, the board of control re-
ports that the number of pupils at
tending the school for the blind at
Vinton and the school for the deaf at
Council Bluffs is not so large as for
merly and 1T seeks a reason. In the
first place it Isl suspected that many
blind and deaf children are not sent
to these schools because parents think
the schools are 'tinstitutions" of char
ity. They are not, but are state
schools for the teaching Of the deaf
and the blind. The state college at
Ames teaches with certain specialized
eq,lipm emit. SO does the state univer-
sity. The public schools are in fact
IN, tho sapoa class g 411a school fOl. TIA g
blind at Vinton and the school for the
deaf at Council Bluffs-they are
adapted to the needs of the pupils.
Parents ought to be glad to avail
themselves of the opportunities af-
forded by these schools. Certainly the
law ought to compel parents to send
blind and deaf children to these
schools.

At New York banquet OF the
Southern society, the following poem
was one OF the features:
THE SOUTH Is GOING DRY
Lay the jest about the julep
In the camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened,
And the olden days are past.
That which made Milwaukee famous
Does not foam In Tennessee,
And the lid in Alabama
Is rs tight locked as can be;
And the comic paper Colonel
AND his cronies well may sigh,
For tut mint is waving gayly,
And the South is going dry.
BY the stillside on the hillside
In KentuGkey, all Ia still.
And the only damp refreshments
Must be dipped up from the rill.
North Carolins's stately Governor
Gives his soda glass a shove.
And discusses local option
With the South Carolina Gov
1t is useless Mt the fountain
To be winkiul OF the eye;
For the cocktail is dusty,
And the South is going dry.
1t is water, water everywhere,
And not drop to drink;
We no longer hear the music
OF the mellow, crystal clink,
Aud the Colonel and the General
And the Major and the Jedge
Meet TO have little nip"
To give the appetite an edge;
For the eggnoR now is nogless,
And the rye" has gone awry.
And the punchbowl holds carnatioa
For the South is going dry.
