Fog-Eye Smith of northwest Wyo-

displeasure at the manner in which a

Smith announced, frowning, that un-

Fog-Eye. Half an hour later Mr.. Smith
was found cropping about on the floor

It doubtless makes good deal
of difference just what sort Of i'm"
agery the school child uses In
memorizing his material, as to
whether the best results are to
be obtained or not and it is obvi-
ously important that the teacher
should know the character of this
imagery if he is to deal adequate
ly with the pupil. The results Of
the experiments by the depart
ment of psychology at the Univer-
sity Of Illinois clearly indicate
that most children in the begin
ming grades of the school think
predominantly in terms of OBJ
jects seen, that is, they possess
concrete visual imagery and prob
ably, to certain extent, also con-
crete auditory and motor imagery
as well. Later on this concrete
form of imagining dies out. They
think in terms of words and the
actual experience behind these
words becomes dim and obscure.
The whole process is to make
thuir learning thing of books

children in Urbana, Champaign
Bloomington, Danville and in some OF
the normal schools of the state have
been tested to determine certain con-
ditions under which they learn most
advantageously. One Of the questions
asked in these Investigations has been
this: Suppose the child is given some
thing to learn and is asked to recall 1t
later on, under what conditions during
the interval between learning and re-
call will his memory be most reten-
tive? The data obtained has been SO
extensive that it has not been COM
pletely worked over as yet. Some
very interesting conclusions, how
ever. have been reached-among these
this, that writing serves as great
distraction and that the child can re-
call material better when the interval
is filed with such strenuous activity
as number work, than when 1t Is
filed with the writing Of some famil-
lar phrase, as "My Country, It's OF
Thee" The greater distracting ten
dencv of writing than of other school
occupations shows itself particularly
in the lower grades. 1t has also been
found out that when young children
are required to learn by keeping per-
fectly still they are at disadvantage.
IF Won wish to have the child learn I'M
der the most disadvantageous condi-
tons, require that child to keep per-
fectly still.
The experiments at the University
of Illinois clearly show that oral COM
position is the most satisfactory meth
cd of developing real power of express
sion in young children.

Points in Pruning.

Do not choose the dormant season to
cut back trees that are growing too
fast to be fruitful; it will only make
them grow the faster in the spring.
Wait till they are in full flush of growth
in May or June if you want to drive
ther surplus energies into fruit buds.
Be sure to carry paint pot along with
the pruners, and whenever a limb as
much as an inch in diameter is cut off,
cover the wound with oil and white lead
to keep out dampness and the entrance
of fungus spores that will produce rot.
In the spring this cover is not so neces-
sary, for as soon as growth begins the
tree will begin to cover its wounds with
new wood that will creep over it from
all sides. Rural World.

'Waterproo6ng of
Mortar and Cement.

There are some cases where the
waterproofing of concrete is very desir-
able. The granary may be of impor-
tance where the base is in direct con-
tact with the ground. The cellar
should be dry. The universal use of
concrete has made it possible to con-
struct feeding and watering troughs for
the arny ard. Cistern may be req ir I'd
on the farm, not only to retain the
water, but to keep it out
There are several methods used in
making concrete and cement mortar
more impervious to water by the addi-
tion Of foreign ingredients.
To increase the water tightness of
concrete. especially to Qean) mixtures,
clay has been added. The clay must
be free from all vegetable matter, and
when added, must be in a finely pow
dered state. The amount to be added
must vary with the mixture; for ordin-
airy farm work add about 2 to per
cent of the weight of sand used in the
mixture Mix dry with the cement.
The addition of soap and alum to
cement mortar has been found to di-
minish the permeability, and the fol-
lowing has been found to give good re-
suits: Take one part cement and 21s
parts of clean, sharp sand, and to every
cubic foot of sand add 3, of pound of
powdered alum. This should all be
mixed dry. Now, add water in which
has been dissolved about 3, of pound
of ordinary laundry soap to the gallon
and thoroughly mix. If you find it
difficult to dissolve the soap. use hot
water. The strength of the mortar
will, of course. be somewhat inferior to
that of the pure mixture.
Alum and lye applied to the exterior
surface with calcimining brush has
been found effective. Use one pound
of lye and three pounds of alum dis
solved in two gallons of water"
A very effective method of prevent
ing moisture through walls that extend
beneath the surface of the ground is
the application Of two coats of cold tar
to the exterior surface of the wall. the
coating to extend well above the sur
face of the ground.

Field Peas for Orchards.

This crop is said to be one of the
very best for loosening and fertilizing
the soil, The vine draws nitrogen from
the air and conveys it to the soil. In
orchards where field peas are cultivated
it is claimed that the fruit trees have
more vigor and the fruit is better col
ored.
Aside from the soil benefits the yield
is good and the crop valuable for fat
tening hogs or lambs. Pork fattened
o. field peas will readily command from
one to two dollars mora in market than
that which is fattened on any other
feed, and its superior sweetness and
tenderness make it well worth the diff
ference.
In one case of filled pea growing IN
orchards last season, Mark Phoenix
sowed 20 acres. The crop was moved
when ripe and the scattered peas grew
another crop waist high. quite sufficient
to fertilize the ground thoroughly, thus
assuring a vigorous orchard With the
shelled peas he fattened good number
of hogs.

Cancer.

That cancer affects the lower animals
as well as human beings is not known
to many, but such is the case.
Two research laboratories have been
endowed where scientists devote their
entire time and energies to the study
of cancer. One of these is located in
the United States, the other in Eng
land. The experiments to determine
whether or not cancer is hereditary,
contagious, etc, are of necessity con-

are especially suited for experimental
work, on account of their short life.

possible to note the conditions of many
generations of ancestors.
1t is held by one research laboratory
that it is extremely doubtful if cancer
is hereditary. If this proves to be cor
rect. it will relieve the troubled minds
of many individuals who live in constant
fear that they may develop cancer be
cause some relative, far or near, has
development along this line rather in

sible to vaccinate against cancerous
growths, and perhaps, other malignant
growths.
Cancers are not uncommon among
the lower animals. In the labratory Of
pathology of the Veterinary Depart
ment of the Colorado Agriculture Col
lege, cases have been studied in horses
and cattle during the past year.

Wheeler Park.

The creation of the Wheeler National |
Monument by the United States gov
eminent, made operative by the sigma
ture of President Roosevelt a few days
before the expiration of his term,
serves to bring to public notice a great
natural attraction which it is believed
Is destined to rival the Yellowstone
National Park, the Royal Gorge in the
Grand Canon of the Arkansas, and the
Natural Bridges of Utah.
The tract included by the proclama-
ton is situated on the south slope and
near the summit of the Continental Di-
vide at an elevation of approximately
l 800 feet above sea-level, about twelve
miles northwest from Wagon Wheel
Gap, Colorado, a famous hot springs
resort of the Rocky mountains. Innum-
cradle columns of pale yellow sand
stone, assuming the shapes of castles
and fomes, as vel as countless gre
tesque figures, present pinnacied and
serrated panoramic view unlike any
tn ng else in the geological world.
This new park is to be known as the
Wheeler National Monument in honor
of Lieut.. Wheeler, an early explorer in
tn section. The president derived his
authority from this edict under the Act
of Congress, approved June 8. 1906,
providing for the preservation of Amer
ican antiquities.
On or about the oath of January Sen
ator Guggenheim introduced a bill in
Congress asking an appropriation of
SIS. 600 to build wagon road from a
point near Wagon Wheel Gap into the
park. the bill providing that the road
should be built under the direction of
the Secretary of Agriculture. All of
Colorado's other members of Congress
in both the upper and lower houses,
have, we understand, signified their in
tention of supporting this bill, and, for
the sake of the good it will do in ben =
fitting and advertising Colorado. the

may be carried successfully through
