certain varieties a small frame. upon

It requires two or three weeks for an

Gaelic Older Than Latin.
Gaelic is the principal living branch
of the old Celtic language, which was
spoken over western Europe before
Rome was built. The names OF many
rivers and mountains In western and
central Europe prove this. just as the
Indian names OF places In America
prove that that language was once
spoken in the greater part of the Unit
ed States For instance. there Is the
river Garonne, In France. That would
BE written in modern Irish "osarb
ham," which means rough river. The
Rhone would be "Ruadhabhann,"
meaning red river. The termination
"abhann," meaning sriver. is found all

recorded methods and facts secured
by others?
LEARN BY EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS S
A lifetime is far too short to learn
by experience alone, successful ano
scientific agriculturs. We may derive
benefits from the record of failure and
success of others, as well as by per
sonal experience The illiterate have
no such advantages. Established
facts are recorded that materially aid
in restoring to normal condition a de
pleted soil: that will advise how to
successfully combat the pests of fields
and flocks that will teach how to
select proper seeds; that will show
| the Eest methods of cultivation ct
farm crops that Will bring about best
results in animal husbandry and eX.
alt the health and happiness of both
man and beast. How is the knowl-
edge of scientific agriculture now
taught? At present agricultural col
leges and experiment fields together
with soil trains, the organization of
farmers institutes and a very few
schools are about the only means Of
disseminating this useful knowledge.
FACTOR IN MOLDING SENTIMENT.
The press and pulpit each has to
do with molding public sentiment, but
all great reforms come largely
through the schools. Until scientific
agriculture is taught in the public
schools Of our land, the present meth
DDS of soil depletion will surely con
tinue.
The results obtained from this sci
ence will be commensurate with the ex-
tent and methods Of its being taught
/ believe the time is at hand when
much should be eliminated from our
text books, and more practical things
taught in the public schools.

scientific agriculture should be avail
able 20 all schools because every ones
welfare is dependent, directly or indi-
rectly, upon the success of agricul-
ture. Objections may arise in regard
TO the Introduction CT an additional
branch OF study because OF the lack OF
time to hear recitations. In answer to
this I frankly admit some OF the un-
graded schools may lack time for ad-
ditfonal branches. but as frankly re-
cord my opinion that large percent OF
the matter presented in the average
text book is OF but little value com
pared with the science of agriculture.

League Has Dual Purpose.
The league has two purposes One
is the restoration OF Gaelic as a spoken
tongue and the other the revival of
Irish arts and industries.
The headquarters are in Dublin, In
charge of President Douglas Hyde. and
there are branches in each OF the thir-
ty-tvO counties IN ireland. with total

schools, the danger of future depletion
of soil. Let US teach, in the public
schools, that all plant and animal life
depends upon the soil for sustenance.
Let us teach that through agriculture,
as a science, we may double or treble
the present production of crops on a
given acreage at little or no increased
cost.
Many a feeder OF live stock lacks
the knowledge that an animal must
have a balanced ration of food in or
der to give best results for profit
Many a farmer has failed for want of
knowledge that mother earth must
possess a balanced ration of the ele
ments of plant food in order that her
offspring (plants) may thrive
If disorder occurs in the human
body. a physician is called to Judge
the cause and restore normal condi-
tions as speedily as possible. Then
why not teach, if certain field fails
to respond to proper seeding and cul-
tivation, that it is sick and needs a
physician. Every farmer should be
possessed with knowledge to know the
lacking elements of plant food anG
how to supply them. Can the farmer,
under present exhausting conditions,
continue to supply the world with
food? Let us notice the average of
the three principal grain crops The
state average of corn for the last 25
years is sc bushels per acre; of
wheat IA bushels per acre, and OF
oats 80 bushels per acre.
A COMPARISON OF CROP YIELDS.
The state experiment farms show
an average of the same crops for five
years past as follows: Corn So bush
els per acre; wheat 40 bushels per
acre. and oats sc bushels per acre
How were the latter results obtained!
BY well established rotation of crops
with the seed carefully selected with
a view to both productiveness and
to the soil; and thor
ough cultivation at the proper time.
Few farmers understand agricul-
ture sufficiently well TO teach it TO
their children. Others haven't the
time and interest to attempt it; there
