Agriculture in Schools

DIR. Schaffer recommends the study
of Agriculture in public schools. The
course is 20 be optional but he says is
highly desirable and gives the fol-
lowing among other reasons;
1.-THE Importance of this new sub
ject is no longer disputed. Ii is
needed in the rural school to arouse
and retain an interest in the home
environment, and to render a service
in perfecting and making more com.
mon the methods now known and
used by the few, and it is necessary
to enlist an army of recruits in the
most fundamental industry in Amer,
ica. High cost of living can be re
duced by a mora intensive produo
ton and by the removal from the
dependent town and city life to thu
more independent and self-supportinl
country life of many who are unfam
iliar with its opportunities.

ExplosibilitY of Coal Dust

MORE DANGEROUS THAN FIRE DAMP
Coal dust is now generally recog-
nizsd MS an explosive more danger
GUS and deadly than FIRE damp Fire
damp gives its own warning-thO
zap" in the safety lamp-but coal
dust does not attract attention unless
1t is present in the mine in large
quantities. Fire damp ia generally
local in It's occurrence, and the effect
OF lite explosion, though terrific, is al
so local bnt in dry mine coal dust
is everywhere, and its explosion and
combustion may affect miles Of rooms
and entries and may even destroy
structures at the entrance TO the
mine.
The fact that coal dust is a danger
ous explosive was not generally REQ
ognized until very recently. After
the great explosion in the Pocahon-
tas coal mine, in West Virginia, in
1894, by which la men were killed,
committee was appointed by the
American Institute Of Mining Engin-
eers to determine the cause Of the
explosion. This committee reported
that mo trace Of the fire damp was
discovered" and that "the explosion
was due mainly to dust" ignited,
perhaps, by blast. Later explos-
ions, in the West, in mines oommoh-
ly free from FIRE damp, were mani
testify explosions of coal dust.

FOREST FIRES.

The year 1910 according to reports
Of the U. S Agricultural Depart
ment will hold the record among
many for the loss and damage by
fires lespeoially in the Lake States.
Forester n. S. Graves has Just issued
a bulletin in which he discusses for.
est fires and proper methods Of pre-
venting and fighting them. The
risk can never be eliminated for for
ests contain much infiammable ma
terlal but by efficient organization
they may be largely prevented and
the damage confined. The funda-
mental principal is to detect and at
tack fires in their very beginning,
and this may be done by lookouts,
telephones, signal communication
and various methods of patrol. He
notes as of first Importance, quick ar.
rival at the FIRE, an adequate force,
proper equipment, organization Of
the fighting crew, and skill in attack
ing and fighting fires.
He then Shows how fires may be
headed off by drawing the front to-
gether by firing in front in a wedge
shaped direction and by back firing
which latter method he does not ad-
wise unless it becomes absolutely nec
essary He suggests FIRE lines, made
by slashing and clearing out the
brnsh.

New Watering Trough.

animals drinking It. The pipe through
which the water is supplied is fitted
with a spring valve.
An angle shaped arm Is pivoted IN
the bottom of the tank near this pipe,
with the lower end of the arm resting
on the valve and the upper end ter
mfnating In a wooden bah. which
floats on the surface of the water.
The principle of this appliance will
be grasped at once. When the water
is at a certain height in the trough
the ball will float in such a position
that the arm will keep the valve on
the supply pipe closed. AS the water
Is depleted by stock drinking the ball
sinks with it and the arm on the
valve rises, admitting fresh water.
This device insures always a full sup
ply Of fresh water In the tank and
saves the waste water that otherwise
runs over when the trough ia filled
from q running source.

Better Silase for Sheen.

At the Minnesota experiment sta
ton 1t is believed that greater care
must be had in preparing silage for
sheep than for cattle. Sheep require
a sweet and dry silage. Thickly plant
ed corn cut before it is well matured,
does not make ideal silage for sheep.
Corn planted about like field corn,
harvested and put into the silo when
II begins 10 dent, has proven very
healthful to sheep, and they have
done wei upon it. II clover hay is
fed in conjunction with this silage,
cheap and satisfactory gains may hs
made In sheep ~fattening.

PORTABLE HOUSE IS USEFUL
narrowing Sow, Also a Temporary
Shelter for Fowl.

For many jobs in the fall a port
able house to use as a shelter will
be Of great advantage. The same idea
may be applied to a pen for use in
event of a SOW narrowing in the field,
or for a portable house for chickens
or turkeys to be moved about the
farm; in fact, the same building may
be applied to all three purposes with
success, says Orange Judd Farmer.

Procrastlnation.

It heard a tale the other day of a
postponing chap, who thought he'd
buy a wheel so gay, but-They will be
cheaper, perhaps And so he dallied
year by year, the cheapest wheel to
buy; but long before the cheapest
gear, that zap he had to die! And so,
by putting off the day, we miss the
wine of life; and some there are in
Just that way who thus will miss a
wife! Get busy now, you timid swain,
procrastinate no more, for time is
surely on the wane, and you a bache-
lor! Some wait too long to make a
pick of husbands or of wife, and then
some take a broken stick and make a
mess OF life."-H. b. Benedict In
Judge.

the walls may be canvas, painted to
keep out the rain, with a small bench
built at one end for the stalks to lie
upon, with hooks for strings. This
makes 1t as comfortable a working
place as can be desired, and with
the advantage that It can be moved
from one end of the field to the other
as needed.
Where built for a threefold purpose
the walls should be made of light
boards, or, at least, the lower part Of
walls, and the roof, of light lumber
or canvas When used as a pen for
hogs or fowls It is moved to the
proper place and the wheels removed,
thus ro~ting the building on the axle;
and by replacing wheels it can again
be moved to a new location, as de
sired.
