Medical Inspection of School Children

tBy k. C. Hall, Superintendent of Schools
 Little Rock)
 "A country's greatest asset is it's men, is more true than the conser- vation of this asset by the national and state governments would indicate. The natural resources of this country are being guarded and preserved by the department of agriculture. Be- sides this conservation of natural re- sources such as water, forest and mineral, it instructs the farmers how to prevent and cure disease in crops, orchards and animals, and how to in- crease the production of the soil. But the governments sits supinely by, know ing the many ills that human flesh is heir to, and their cure and preyention yet indifferent to it's great responsi- bility, the conservation of human life. If the government, through it's agri- cultural department, conserves plant and animal life, by bulletin, and ac- tual demonstration, and adds millions of dollars to the yearly output of the farm, why could not some department, the department of education for in- stance, instruct all the people about preyentable and contagious diseases, non-contagious defects, and the gen eral principles of hygiene and .sani- tation?
 n ln o1rr.1 oc the government, what is being done, and what can be done to prevent this great waste of human life?
 Many cities have elaborate systems of medical inspection, followed up by the treatment of children, nurses, etc. This is very fine and much to be desired. Too much can not be done, but must we despair because we can not do big things. and have no money to employ medical inspectors? There is one way by which every school in this country can have medical inspection and the children instructed in the laws of preventable diseases, sanitation and health. This must come through the teacher. It requires no medical expert to detect the most common symptoms of con- tagious defects of eye, ear, nose and throat, to teach some simple rules for prevention of preventable diseases, and to acquaint the pupils with the most general laws of sanitation
 As an equipment for this work, 1 would recommend little leafet, pub lished by the Massachusetts Board of Health; the Sanitary Primer, pub lished by the World Book Company: Gulick Readers; Snellers Eye Chart: a few lessons in detecting enlarged tonsilS and adenoids.
 If this conservation of life is na- tional and state obligation it is also a private obligation, which can be best discharged through the cooperation of parents and teachers. The teachers must do medical inspection. l have an abounding confidence in them. They will meet this new demand. and perform we'll their part in this great est of all undertakings, the conserya- tion of human efficiency and life.

VALUE OF SILO TO FARMERS
Has Become Practical Necessity on
All Farms Where There is DAN
ger of Frost to Corn.
(Rv w NJ KFTJVl

The silo is a practical necessity on
all farms where there is danger of
frost catching the corn crop before it
reaches it's full maturity. With us it
has solved the problem of handling
the portion of the crop which fails to
reach the desired maturity to feed as
a grain food
We find we can fill the silo for less
expense than we can put up like
amount of dry feed, and the cows are
at the same time better fed, which is
the main point to consider. When
cows are kept in the stable for five to
seven months they cannot return as
satisfactory profits if they are con-
fined to a ration of dry feed alone
Ensilage gives succulence and is verv
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There is also
a great saving of labor in feeding
ensilage. over feeding dry corn fodder
1t is not now too late to build silos
on a pinch. Any reliable manufac-
turer will send you the material ready
to be put up or will build complete
and on short notice. A saving may be
effected by group of farmers buying
silos from one, factory BY this plan
better prices may be obtained and by
shipping in carload lots there is a
material saving in freight.

large "tanglelegged" grasshoppers Master
toad took kindly to this species of food, but
owing to to the nature of the Insects legs and
their extreme length he found difficulty In
swallowing. In order to aid in the process, as
soon as he would get firm grip on the grass
hopper he would look for stick or stone by
means of pushing against which he could force
his prey down his throat. Now In order to see
what the toad would do if no stone or stick
were at hand, all of those articles were re-
moved from his vicinity, and then he was fed
another big grasshopper with great knotted
legs.
Now it must be remembered that the pres
ent writer is not vouching for this toad story;
he is simply setting it down as 1t has been
told by an observer, and If it is nature
fake" the blame must go elsewhere. The toad,
finding he could not swallow the big grasshop-
per- looked about as usual for stone and,
finding none he attempted to use the ground
as a pusher. He was unable to get the right
angle to secure sufficient force, and so as
last and perfectly effective means, he stood on
his head and without the least difficulty forced
his food down his throat
This toad unquestionably was a wonder.
One day. we are told, he happened to find
angleworm of great length He took hold Of
one end and succeeded In swallowing about
an inch and a half of the worm, which then
realizing it's danger apparently, wound the rest
of it's body boa-like around the neck of the
toad. This gave the worm leverage enough
to enable it to tug away at that part which the
toad already had swallowed The result was
that although by mighty effort the toad
could swallow about half an inch the worm,
when the relaxation came, succeeded in with
drawing three-quarters of an inch. The toad
saw his breakfast slipping away from him, but
his infinite wit came to his rescue. It is said
that he sat up like squirrel took one mighty
swallow and then before the worm could get
in it's withdrawing work, he pressed his fore
feet against his throat and held the swallowed
part of the breakfast in place; then so the
story goes, by series of quick successive
swallowing and throat squeezing, the toad soon
had the worm in the dark interior where he
was needed for breakfast.
Toad migrations are not extraordinarily I'M
common events. They have taken place in
many parts of the country, and once the toads
in travelling succeeded In stallng a railroad
train on the Canadian Pacific line. The story
of this runs to the effect that the wheels

PORK PRODUCTION ON FARM
Success With Hogs, as Well as Other
Agricultural Products, Depends
on Judgment.

Hogs by nature are designed es--
pecially for the construction Of con-
centrated feeds, such as grain. Of:
late years, more roughage in the form
of pasture has been utilized. This.
however. is only one of several i'm
portant factors. The hog must have
the principal part to do with the mar
keting of the concentrated food-stuffs
and by-products, such as milk and
wastes from the farm. Where milk
is produced in large quantities, hogs
are almost essential, except in I'M
usual conditions. Where much corn
is grown, hogs fit in we'll; in fact, the
hog is a valuable adjunct in the dis
position of all the grains and waste
by-products. However, it must be re-
membered that hogs grown in large
numbers are not proportionately so
profitable as when a smaller number.
are grown. Many people have made
the mistake of getting over-enthusias-
tic as to the profits to be realized in
pork production, and have attempted
far more than they could efficiently
manage; with the result that prospec-
tive profits were absorbed in expenses
and losses. Here, as elsewhere, sue.
cess depends on good judgment.

crushed the creatures and so creased the rails
that progress was impossible for some time.
The passengers said that they could have

blockaders had been frogs, for then the ques-
ton of the food supply would have been

the young get big enough, and migrate in
body to the dry land, sometimes going long
distances as an entity. These, it is said are
the marching armies of toads which astonish
people and accounts of which are spread
broadcast over the earth.
