boy in history, civics, geology and

"Wherever military drill is COM

The leaders of the Boy Scouts of
with several boys preparatory
schools throughout the country to
adopt the Boy Scout movement as q
supplement to their educational
work. Many other academies are
considering the adoption Of it.
Scouting activities in a general way
have been taken up by several
schools and have been found very
helpful and popular. The different
phases Of scouting can be added to
the school work and give additional
incentive to the boys both in their
studies and in their athletic work.
For instance, boy who becomes a
scout can win badges for being pro-
fcicnt in various studies, in athletic
days through the country around the
academy which he attends.
The training which the boys re-
ceive by engaging in other scout &C
tivities can be used as a substitute
for military drills and tactics. In
the majority Of schools the military
training is given simply as a means
of discipline. Scout activities pro-
vide discipline, body building and
character training, and they take
the boys mind away from the
thought Of war
Educators are enthusiastic over
the scout movement. Captain Fer
rara, cOmmandant of the Depart
ment Of Military Service Of the state
University School, Okla, has taken
up scouting. Thomas Aston, prin-
cipal Of the public school in McAle5-

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
Important Information TerseIy Told
by n. T. Patterson, Montana
Agricultural College.

Let no diseased fruit be left on the
ground or hanging on the tree to start
growth on the succeeding crop.
Remove all litter from the orchards
that will harbor mice or insect pests
during the winter months.
Protect the young trees from mice
and rabbits A good way to do this is
to take lath or wrapping of wood We
neer or building paper.
Give the fruit ladders careful in
spection before putting them away.
See that there are no rotten or weak
places. Better give them fresh coat
OF paint
Are you thinking about a location
for that new orchard? You should be.
High lands are preferable; they afford
good drainage. Air drainage as we'll
as soil drainage is what is wanted
A good rule to follow is to cut out
CARELESS of season.
Like the scrub COW there is no place
for scrub fruit. Think this over
Scions for grating may be cut any
time after growth ceases. Never
when frozen. Tie these in bundles and
store in cellars until ready for graft
ing next winter.
The standard Insecticides used in
fighting plant lice and other sucking
insects are kerosene emulsion, whale
oil. soap and tobacco decoctions.
More money has been made in rails
ing ferrets than elephants. The moral
to this statement is. look after the
little things on the farm.
