'First.-Mr. Boudre does not un-
derstand the term seed bed as used
in our discussion of dry-land farm
ing. The seed bed refers to the titled
soil as deep as it may be plowed. This
may be from three to y, or even IS
inches. when the sub-soil plow is used
in connection with the stirring plow.
The ideal seed bed. however for seed
ing wheat, other small grains, alfalfa,
etc, should be loose or mellow only a
little deeper than the seed is planted.
Below the depth at which the seed
is deposited in the soil the seed bed
must be we'll pulverlzed, but firm and
we'll settled, the furrow slices making
d good union with the sub-soil below.
The seed bed may be prepared by
cultivating with different implements.
The disc harrow may be the best i'm
plement to use after fall plowing, or
early in the spring, several weeks be-
fore seeding. But surface cultivation
just before seeding should usually be
accomplished with some implement
which does not cultivate so deep as
the disc harrow. 1 prefer the Acme
harrow, or the common spike-tooth
harrow may be used for the final cul,
tivation. just previous to seeding
The mellow soil produced 5y cul-
tivation is the mulch which has to dc
with the conservation of the sol
moisture. The soil mulch may be two
OF three inches in thickness when the
ground is being finally prepared fol
seeding wheat, or other small seeds

WHY SOME CHILDREN ARE
GOOD, OTHERS ARE NOT

O. Eliot FLINT In the New York World
That the bad manners and unruly con-
duct OF many children are due. not to
downright wickedness-the generally ac-
cepted belief-but to physical defects, is
the theory interestingly presented by DR..

Furthermore, the sudden attacks OF ex-

are stubborness, instability OF will and
general irresponsib.lity. Children's un-

disease of some kind. These are some OF
the startling views OF DIR. Groszmann.
DR.. Groszmann AYERS also that there are
distinct fatigue curves in every childs
school day, and suggests that the study
program be adjusted To these curves.

Officers OF the local 'typogra phical

by The Inland Printer. The course Is
endowed by the International Typo

it is sold to students for less. than the
actual cost of tuition. In the booklet
are specimens of work done by stu

much In height and physical develop
ment. A 6-year-oid boy will often require
a suit OF s-year-old size; while an Swear
old may need one in size six. And as
children vary in body. they vary In brain.
Hence. 1t is surely not good sense to APP
portion to all children OF like ages equally
difficult tasks.
Regarding the examination of school
children. DR.. Groszmann lays special
stress upon the Importance OF making
careful tests to determine the acuteness
OF the five senses: Sight, hearing,
taste. smell and touch. in the
sphere OF the will he considers that
signs OF weakness and indecision.
of wavering and changeability, or
any moral defects, such as persistent ly-
ing and stealing. are plain indications of
pathological conditions and should be
dealt with accordingly. Curiously enough.
In physical examinations. 1t has been
found that the grip OF the hand Is a good
index OF intellectual power.

that OF the famous French psychologist,

we may easily determine the psychology

Systematically The great value OF such
tests will be seen by supposing that a

children OF that age. but only to those
prescribed for children ut . or even 8. In
which case we get grave danger signal

"These tests do not require" DIR. Grosz-

Fighting Governor" Bass,
Who Does Things.
From. I:ampton,s Magazine.

/, UP in New Hampshire they call Rob-
crit Perkins Bass their Fighting Gov
ernor," but that Is weak description
Of him. He is not fighter; he Is an
earthquake. The progressive republi.
cans, with Bass showing them how,
have turned New Hampshire upside
down; and as things appear now. the
members of the ''old guard" and their
machine are resting uncomfortably at
the bottom of the heap.

OF Peterboro. where he had been rath-
err busy taking care Of 600 acre farm
ever since he was graduated from Har-
ward, IN 1896, few persons knew who
he was. He felt that somebody ought
to take punch at the Boston & Maine
railroad monopoly. which was reliev-
ing the people of few OF the burdens
connected with the government Of the
state. He went out and told the peo-
pie who he was. They made him one
of the 1893 members OF the New Hamp-
shire house OF representatives. He had
done no public service before. Appen-
dicitis kept him from serving many
days of that term. and two years later
he was sent back. Chairman OF the
committee on retrenchment and reform
was his Job that session. This COM
mittee had never been known to do
any OF the things its name implied 1t
should do. Bass put II to work. One
OF his little Investigations saved the
state about 100000.
Two years later he went back to the
state senate. There he wrote and in
troduced the direct primary bill which,
with a number of other progressive
measures that he supported, was
passed after a furious battle. The pro-
gressives wanted him to run for COVER

summer with the proposition.

don't want to-" the committee agreed
regretfuly. He consented to make the

In the legislature this year he had
the aid of a progressive house in a
rather rough argument with a most
unprogressive senate. He won. The
legislature passed nine platform mea-
sures and solved railroad problem the
way experts said was correct, not the
way the Boston & Maine suggested.
He got the railroad out of politics and

Danger Of Infection through Butter

The possibility Of the transmission
of tuberculosis by milk is now well
known. The equal danger of tuber-
culosis being carried by butter is only
beginning TO be realized. Yet cream
contains tubercle bacilli in even larger
quantities than milk. 1t is difficult to
state the percentage OF contamination,
but 1t probably averages about II ger
cent. The germs OF tuberculosis can
