Our Agricultural Schools.

This week will end the first years session of our agricultural schools We shall send a number of boys and girls back to the farm from which they came. They will go back with an increased appre- citation of the dignity of the farm CTS calling. with an increased love for the farm. with minds trained along agricultural lines Doubt less they will make mistakes, but they will never make the same mistake twice These agricultural students have studied the soil, it's needs, it's possibilities, methods of cultivation and other things per- taining to the farm. They are now anxious to apply the information which they have gained.
 Let us give them all the eneour- agement and assistance possible In few years. they will be called upon to shoulder the responsibili- ties of church and state. They will be expected to stand in the front rank as leaders of every worthy movement in church or political life. It will be seen that they are by nature and training. fit to shoulder such responsibilities
 A few years ago college pro lessor made this statement: A fool can farm. Many agreed with him. But today the consensus of opinion among thinking men is:
 A farmer must be an intelligent man, well trained in his life-Work. " The passage of laws establishing four agricultural schools in our state and requiring agriculture to be taught in our public schools, well indicates the sentiment of our people towards agricultural educa= tion. Let us talk farming and keep on talking about farming, the business which is absolutely at the base of all wealth. and let us fill our agricultural schools to over flowing

New Marshal Appointed.

At a meeting of the town council held last Friday evening the resig- nation of H. M. Thornton as mar shal was received and accepted and the appointment of Tom Ash craft to take his place confirmed. Before being appointed marshal Mir. Ashcroft resigned from the council and his place was filled by the election of c. A. Berry as a member of that body.
 Arrangements were also made at this meeting to have the closets of the town cleaned twice a month at night and the refuse hauled away instead of being buried. Lime will also be furnished all res idents who will it use properly and every citizen of 4uttig is requested to assist in every way possible to keep the town clean and sanitary.
 Mayor Pearson was asked to designate some certain day in the near future as "Clean-Up Day and the members of the council will offer cash prizes to the boys getting together the largest piles of rubbish to be hauled away by teams on that day.
 If everyone could realize the danger to health in having rubbish and old cans half full of water around their yards the amount of stuff to be removed will be great. Rubbish breeds flies and stagnant water in cans breeds mosquitoes and these in turn breed and carry disease. When the cleanup day" comes we hope all will lend help ing hand and devote at least one day to the public good of the com munity.

in a most attractive form a succincl
statement OF the difficulties with
which many of the shipping organiza
lions are confronted. We have two OF
three inquiries along this line, and
with your permission would be glad to
loan these booklets to some of these
organizations. We believe that what
benefits one section will benefit an
other, and that the better organized
the whole fruit industry is, the better
it will be for each individual grower
and his local shipping concern"

SHIPS THAT KICK.

Ssamen Don't Like Them and Dodge
Them if They Can.
When sailors join a ship almost the
first question asked by each one as he
takes the wheel for the first time is,
"Does she klck?'
Kicking, ais it is called by the sea-
men, is due t. the action Of the water
under the lee of the rudder when the
vessels stern, which has for a mo-
ment been borne skyward on the crest
Of a wave, falls back again into the
trough with such terrific force as to
make her tremble fore and aft aud
perhaps wrench the wheel from the
grasp Of the steersman.
Sometimes it happens that he is
taken unawares ard, being unable to
let go in time, is flung right over the
wheel to the other side Of the deck,
often receiving serious injuries Some
times a man will be pitched right
overheard into the sea, and a recent
case is known of a man who received
a blow under the chin from one Of the
spokes and died a few days later from
the effects.
In some of the worst types of kick
ers kicking straps are used regularly
in nearly all weathers. and many sail
ors refuse TO go to sea in ships which
are known to be confirmed kickers.-

MODERN OCEAN LINERS.
Their Double Hulls Defy Hidden Rocks
and DereIicts.

Their Double HulIs Defy Hidden Rocks
and DereIicts.
In the hands of a skillful marine
architect much more has been accom-
plished with steel construction than
the mere economy of space. The safe
ty of vessels at sea has been enor-
mously increased until in the highest
type Of modern ocean liners the ele-
ment Of danger Is virtually eliminated.
The marvellous ingenuity displayed
throughout this great fabric of steel in
guarding against every possible con-
tingency Of the sea comes to the av-
erage landsman as a surprise. A great
liner of 10000 tons may be controlled
by a single hand. The complicated
machinery for safeguarding the ship
is practically automatic.
The bottom Of the great hull Of the
liner is doubled, the inner shell being
strong enough to float the ship even
If the outer hull be completely torn
away. 1t is exceedingly unlikely that
water would ever reach this inner
shell through accident to the main hull,
but the precaution is taken so that if
it should strike hidden object it will
prove absolutely invulnerable. The
shipwrecks of the past caused by rum
ming upon hidden rocks, derelicts and
icebergs are thus completely eliminat-
ed.--M. B. Cea in Casters Magazine.

Not the Answer He Expee4ed.

Whitefeld, whose dramatic appeals
to his listeners were always a note
worthy part Of his sermons, once
preached to body Of seamen in New
York. In the course Of his sermon he
introduced the following words:
"Well, my boys, we have a clear sky
and are making fine Roadway over a
smooth sea before a light breeze, and
we shall soon lose sight Of land. But
what means this sudden lowering Of
the heavens and that dark cloud rising
from the western horizon? Hark!
Don't you hear the distant thunder?
Don't you see those Hastings of light
ming? There is a storm gathering.
Every man to his duty! How the
waves rise and dash against the ship!
The air Is dark. The tempest RACES!
Our masts are gone! The ship is on
her beam ends! What nextT'
The hands Of every sailor were grip

Marine JUNKMEN.

Carrier SnaiIs Load Their Backs With
All Sorts of Refuse.
The carrier snail is to the sea what
the junkman is to the land. It re-
ceives it's name from its habit Of car
rying foreign objects on its back.
Nothing comes amiss to the carrier
snail If it is not too big. CASTOR shells
of small mollusks, bits of broken coral,
tiny stones and even fragments OF
broken glass dropped overheard from
passing vessels are cemented firmly to
the edges Of the growing shell, nor is
this curious creature satisfied when
the shell Is completely covered, but
continues to add to its collection by
fastening new pieces to the old ones
already piled upon its back until it is
no longer able to move beneath its bur-
den.
As 1t is an inhabitant of tropical wa
tiers swarming with voracious fish,
crabs, ETC., there is method in its mad
ness. Its hungry enemies pass it by,
unable to distinguish it from the rocks
and shells on the sea bottom. Some Of
the snails show a preference for tiny
pebbles all of one shape and equal size,
others accumulate only shells of one
kind, and one picked up off the coast
of Japan had its portable house entire
~ rooted with glass.-New York Press.

at the geological gardens are two sizes
of civets, and any one with an fnves-

The musk is used in the cheap per-
