PEARL High SCHOOL NOTES.

The opening of Pearl High School
was one of the most suspicious occa-
sions of it's history. While the at
tendance is not as large as was
hoped for at the close of the year,
vet the enrolment represents a de-
cided increase in attendance. All
of the stool desks have been re
moved and replaced with the usual
regulation desks, which adds mu ch
to the comfort of the pupils and also
to the interior appearances of the
hall. One extra row of desks was
pJt in. This has been nlled and vet
all the front benches are filled with
pupils.
It is earnestly hoped that all the
old pupils who intenG TO continue
their work in Pearl Hieh will re
port at a very early date. so thaf
any new arrangements which md!
have to be made for their accommo
dation may he perfected at once. The
faculty of Pearl Hioh is UNCHANGED

laid, and mark each egg with the num-
ber on the leg-band of each hen. In
the book credit the hen by her num-
Der with each egg laid. The record
book of the first year is the key to-
future successes, if one can profit
from the records. Every chick which
matches can be attributed to indi-
vidual parentage, and it is not pos
sible to predict truthfully that certain
individuals of marked excellency to
look upon, will throw excellent chicks.
The more one knows of gameto-gene-
sis the less confident he is of results.
Anybody who confdentially assures
one that such and such a bird will be
sure to throw such and such chicks, is
quite innocent of facts. If birds
which have cost much money do not
throw birds which will bring much
money, it is not necessarily the fault
of the breeder who sold them. Bred to
a different individual of the same
strain in the same colony. the moneyed

of the state. The division of agricul-
ture is prepared to cooperate with
farmers in other parts of the state in
farther experimentation with this
crop. and to this end is prepared to
furnish seed and instructions relative
to its culture, etc. The division OF
agriculture believes that Minnesota
climate is adapted to its growth as
well as that of Wisconsin Heretofore
the division has supplied plants for
the farmers. but cannot do so this
year. 1t has prepared circulars on the
subject, giving fall instructions for
care of seed bed. transplanting. culti-
waiting, ETC., which are available for
free distribution to all who ask for
them. The seed supplied by the divi-
sion is of the Connecticut-Havana va.
riety grown in Wisconsin and raised
in Sherburn county the past two years.
Write at once to the division of Agri-
culture, University farm, ST. Paul. for

PRACTICAL BREEDING OF

"Tot homines, quot sententiae." as
learned about in Latin classes years
ago. but nobody fully realizes what
1t means in any language until he
wants to start breeding poultry. Just
let him ask the older breeders how
he shall start and notebook the
points given by each one and he will
be able to conclude that any old start
will pan out according to starters.
Chief among the starters is the to-be

In the first place he must have
some dry. sandy. sunny soil to build

may be recommended In the illustra-

be made anywhere. Six-foot wire net

four pens. fine-mesh wire being at the
bottom. The houses in the big pens
should be 3x5 feet and feet high at

In end OF house, the size of the end.
The nests should be against the back
end of house, with cover to let down
in slant over them at the night feed
ing, so the fowls cannot roost either
in nest or on the cover, this to be
lifted and buttoned back against the
house at the morning feeding The
perches, each three or four inches
wide. should face the opening in front
of the nests. The ventilation is self
operative from the opening. The illus

EMBROIDERY PUT UPON LACE

Of the nightdress. the chemise and the

strands of white untwisted cotton are
used for this work. and the pattern
of the lace is usually selected as the
design-that is, some single motif or
spray of blossom and leaf is set in ex-
actly the proper place when the gar

more prominent by this enriching pro-

to open and let cock pass in and out
between the pens. The door for the
caretaker should be to the right of
each pen.
Next come the birds: 1t is ideal
not to think of money. only to have a
lot in ones pockets, when birds must
be bought. Go to a breeder in ones
locality. who has been breeding one
breed a long time, or to new
breeder, who got his start from such
stock. The old breeder will charge
more for stock. but the new one has
a reputation to make and will try to
do we'll by "a buyer. If the stock is
line bred for six or seven years, or
more, so much the better, but it is
worth money. Buy of such stock for
sale the best two old hens three or
four years old and put in the left
hand pen, having closed the little door
into the next pen. Then buy the
finest cockerel possible to put in that
next pen. Buy four-year-old hens as
nearly perfect as money can buy and
put in the next big pen. Lastly buy
the best cock bird possible that is
three. four or even five years old-if
a remarkable bird. The present con-
dition of the cock bird has everything
to do with the near future of the
Family. Rely upon the breeder to sell
you his best sale birds for his own
pAce. The breeder also has elegant
birds of his own breeding to sell. is a
just trader, is as anxious for his buyer
to get money value as the buyer is.
and doesn't sell birds as so many
things. A successful breeder is al
ways lover of creatures and delights
in creative possibility. To him the
passage of money in the chicken yard
where birds are going is not a nice
jingle.
