she will render vital and immedat

keep the boys and girls on the farm

A Babcock milk tester should be

rural teacher should know how to
operate 1t. A forthcoming circular of

and every owner of dairy cattle should
be familiar with the contents of this
circular. Likewise the forthcoming

Teaching Agriculture
in Rural Schools
BY PROF. X. L. HATCH
Wisconsin College of A RricuIture

Can agriculture be taught in the
country school? Yes, as it should be
taught and for the purpose for which
1t should be taught, 1t is not ex-
pected that the average girl teacher
Of the country school can teach farm
ers' children how to till, fertilize and
drain, but it Is expected that she can
teach them why we do these things.
1t is expected that she can teach them
TO put brains into their work; = is
expected that she can create a love
for things pertaining to farm life and
a respect for the vocation of farming:
1t Is expected that she can train farm
ers' children for the farm rather than
away from it, and 1t is expected that
she can be a means of awakening a
sentiment in her community for better
farming.
Now, how may this be done? In the
first place she should interest herself
In the farmer and his problems. She
should visit the homes In the district;
she should cat at the farmers table,
mingle with his family amid partake OF
his hospitality. In this way she may
come into d sympathetic relationship
with the farmer and his work. She
should not pose as his informant on
agricultural matters, but as his serv-
ant She should express a desire TO
obtain for him the information which
he will tell her that he needs, II she
first wins his confidence. Having
learned this need she should seek TO
supply It, Bulletins of the United
States department OF agriculture and
OF the state experiment stations are
always available for the asking. She
should offer to get such of these for
him as will be of value to him, at his
request. She Is not his teacher. but
his co-worker for better agriculture.
and both should appreciate this rela-
tionship.
The teacher should encourage the
farmers children to take part In the
corn contests and the various other
agricultural activities designed espe
cialiy for school children. She should
interest first herself then her pupils
In better corn. better cattle. better

tanned. The horse may be moved
around, first at walk and then at a
trot. to afford the judge broadside
view. This should be followed by a
careful study Of the animal as he
walks from and to the observer and
is then led away and back at trot.
The examination may then follow in
detail. This analytical work is best
accomplished by means Of the score
card
The student should learn to use his
eyes rather than his hands In judg-
Ing. The eye Is master Of the situa-
ton The hand should only be used
as an assistant to the eye. 1t may be
Used when the eye cannot unaided de-
termine a question OF quality. size,
condition or soundness. For example,
the eye sees plumpness Of flesh, but
the hand must be used to decide It's
depth on the ribs-or other part: or
the eye detects what appears to be
bone SPAWN and the hand by feeling
corroborates or disapproves the sus-
picion. AS a general rule much han
ding is to be avoided by the student,
Excessive handling suggests lack Of
confidence, experience and mature
judgment. 1t betokens the amateur.
Purpose Of Score Card.
The use of the score card in judg
ing teaches the student to analyze
the component parts Of the horse one
by one until he becomes thoroughly
efficient in estimating the value of all
points combined in the animal. Prac-
tice with it will, in time. enable him
TO rapidly look over horse. note its
good and bad points and arrive at a
correct estimate of it's value. For the
Judge Of horses, it is necessary a.
first to examine each Of the points on
the score card. The experienced Judge
does not use score card in the judg.
ing ring.
The points or parts of the horse,
referred to above, are shown in &C
companying figure. They should be
thoroughly learned by the student and
then demonstrated to the teacher.
The teacher should explain the char.
acters Of an ideal draft horse. They
will aid the student to form a correct
impression Of what should constitute
an ideal draft horse. Then repeated
judging of many widely different
horses by the score card cannot fail
to make an intelligent horse judge Of
the one who earnestly strives to be.
come proficient in this useful art.
