ExTRAcToRs NEEDED.

The value of the average farmers
Institute could be doubled or tripled il
some good, live, wide awake man could
be put ia as director who had com
prehension of the essential points of
the different topics under discussion
and who could by series of well df-
rected questions draw out from the
speakers on the programme and from
the farmers present pertinent and val
liable information. In every assembly
of this kind there are usually dozens of
men without experience in speaking
before an audience who would be bad
ly 1ustered if put down for a topic on
the regular programme. but neyerthe-
less could be got to contribute yalu-
able information from their own expe-
rience at suggestions and questioning
by the director or presiding officer.
For the majority Of those attending it
is data Of this kind even more than
that contained in formal papers which
make institute sessions interesting and
valuable It lies with the executive
or programme committee having this
matter in charge whether institute ses-
sions are as helpful as they might be
In this regard.

GRANGE Libraries Popular.

In the matter of grange libraries
Connecticut leads New England, if not
the entire country. a few years ago a
committee was appointed with Pro-
fessor G. S. Phelps as chairman to ar
range for and put in circulation ten
travelling libraries of twenty books
each A careful system was outlined
and the several libraries given twenty
suitable books, so that each group
would include works of fiction, nature,
travel, history and agriculture. There
has been a steady demand for them,
and many more calls have been re-
ceived than could be supplied. This
being the fact, twenty more libraries
will he added within the near future,
arrangements for which were made at
the last annual meeting of the state
grange at Hartford. This will make
thirty travelling libraries, with twenty
books each, circulating among the
oranges in the Nutmeg State. The
plan is very commendable and is wor-
thy of still greater multiplication. De.
tails of management. including the
matter of obtaining library or any
suggestions bearing on the question,
can be secured from Professor G. S.
Phelps of Chapinville, Conn.

The Flaq In the GRANGE.

1t is q rather pleasing idea that has
been extensively adopted in the
oranges of New Hampshire, If we are
correctly informed. Of having the stars
and stripes displayed in the grange
hall. 1t Is TO be hoped oranges in other
states will follow the example and
that in the near future no grange hall
furnishings will be considered com
plete without the national emblem in
the shape of tastily draped flag.
Peace hath its victories no less re
nowned than war; Let us use every
effort to instill this principle in the
minds of our young people.

AGRlcUL TUREL EDUCATION.
The Necessity For Secondary Agricul
tural Schools Described.
Especial CORRESPONDENTS. I

lSpeclai# correspondence
OF late there has been /; marked in
crease in the number Of agricultural
colleges, and they are all improving
rapidly i'll their equipment and facili-
ties and are all engaging more in vari-
Gus forms of university extension
work, such as farmers Institutes, cor
respondenee courses, reading courses
and experimental researches. They
are thus attracting a large and ever
larger class of students But all
this development of agricultural col
leges and their work has only brought
out the fact that under the best condi
tons and working 10 the fullest exteni
Of their possibilities they can meet thu

small fraction of the youth upon oui
farms

boys and girls are to receive definite
instruction IN the principles s of agri
culture mot to mention the class OF
city bred boys who are interested and
want definite Instruction as to farm

college or what is known as secondary
schools of agriculture There is a
strong demand for and i disposition

doubt their courses Of instruction could
be much improved 50 as to cultivate a
love for and an interest in nature
study and impart many facts that
w id be of lasting benefit to the
young people who shall go out from
these schools to live upon the farms,
but these schools will never be able to
teach the sciences relating to agrieul-
ture itself without interfering with the
general scope Of their work What al
ways has must always continue to
constitute the principal work of the
schools To these general lines Of
work may we'll be added limited

ing, domestic science and the elements
Of agriculture, but not enough instruc-
ton regarding any art can be given to
perfect the student in any of these,
and especially is this ne of agricul-
ture and the science of farm economy,

SHADE AND BAD ROADS.

A drive along a country road most
any winter day when the ground is
bare gives all kind of evidence that a
rough and muddy patch of road is Of
ten the direct result Of the presence of
trees to the south, which shade the
road from the rays Of the sun during
the greater portion Of the day. Where
it Is clear that the preservation Of such
trees is of more Importance than an
improvement in the roads, much can
be done by thinning out or trimming
up of the row. If this is not possible,
portions Of the highway thus shaded
should be given a special top dressing

SHOULD CO. OPERATE.

Probably no subject having to do
with animal husbandry operations is
receiving today more attention at the
hands of experiment station directors
than that of wedding out the unproiita-
bic cows IN the dairy herds Of the
states in which they are located. There
is probably not 4 creamery manager
anywhere, whether of d private or CO.
operative plant who would not lend
all assistance in his power to the pa
irons of his concern along the line of
making tests having in view a spotting
of the Improbable individuals IN the
herds whose cream was received at
the factory While more frequent
tests might give somewhat more accu-
rate results, a determination of both
the quantity and quality of the milk
yield of the herd once q month would
answer for all practical purposes in in
dicating which cows were kept at a
profit and which were not The milk
of each COW for one day under average
conditions should he weighed carefully
and the results recorded, while por-
tion of the milk saved from each one
should be tested with the Babcock test
er. If the patron cannot attend to this
on his own hook with his knowledge
of the business, he can in all probable
ity do so with suggestion and some as
sistance from the hauler or manager
of his local creamery. The data at
hand from such a test, coupled with
the average price of cream for the
year and the cost of roughage, pastur-
age and ground feed for the same PEE
riod, would enable any dairyman to
determine with necessary accuracy
whether there were any cows in his
herd that were eating their heads off
or just paying for their keep and doing
nothing more. The prime business of
creamerles is making butter: hence the
better the COWS kept by lgtrons and
the more cream received the more
business there will be. AS a result,
this testing of dairy herds is a matter
that every creamery should be inter-
ested in.

PATRIOTISM AND FORESTRY.


1t may be stated with a considerable
measure of truth that in the last ANAL
ysis patriotism love of ones country
and an interest in forestry are synony-
nous terms, while those who are prey
ing upon the forests of the country
and are doing nothing to replace them
are essentially traitors. In view of
these premises, some may inquire what
they may do to become patriotic in
this respect if they have not been SO
in the past. First plant wood lot if
you are so situated that you can, the
larger the better. The hardy catalpa
and black locust will fetch return
for your efforts in the neighborhood
Of ten years, the soft maple IN fifteen,
the larch i'll twenty-five and the cot
tonwood in from twenty-five to forty.
depending upon the purposes to which
the wood is to be put. An evergreen
hedge of pine, spruce or fir will be-
gin to serve the purpose for which it
is set in the neighborhood of dozen
years. But, passing from the immedi-
dtC A1Sl1llAy VI InC A0lIA AOAItStCuut
those who are interested in the for
estry problem can show their patriot
ism in a very practical manner by
writing letters to their district con-
gressmen to stiffen their backbones in
the matter of giving the forest policy
Of the administration and government
a hearty support. 1t is safe to take it
for granted that the lumber barons and
timber thieves are not going to ac-
quiesce in patriotic forest policy
which will prevent them from despoil-
ing the forest areas of the country for
the purpose of filling their own pock-
cts. In the carrying through of a
wholesome policy the government must
have the loyal support of all congress
men, whose duty will be made much
more plain if they hear from the eoun-
try ''deestricts' in no uncertain tones

The juvenile grange idea should be

Juvenile grange is good school for

thing that would be better for the
