THE experiment is worth trying,
for the older method is a failure. Our
public school teaching, or lack of
teaching, is largely responsible for the
increase in crime. The most inteld-
gent school teachers know this and
many of them are watching this ex-
pertinent of ours with deep interest"
How would it be possible" Mr..
Coryell, WIS asked, ITO put such sys-
tenn as yours into effect In the pub
lie schools? Would it not require
vastly larger staff of teachers. more
and smaller class rooms and many
million dollars more every year?"
Sees Saving Of Millions.
Certainly" was the reply. But we
should save more millions than it
would cost, for 1t would largely de-
populate our reformatories, prisons,
jails and hospitals. We had far bet
ter take the millions these now cost
and devote them to education of the
sort that fits men for useful careers
along the lines for which they are
most suited"
The Ferrer school is not yet fur
nished- The walls are bare save for
few striking pictures; the floors are
almost hare; the furniture is of the
cheapest, but there are flowers on the
tables and mantlepiece and brightly
colored picture books for the smaller
children, and everything is scrupu-
iously clean.
They would not send a child home
to wash Its face or hands, but they
would try in some way to give 1T an
object lesson in the virtue of clean
illness; for instance 1t would not be
allowed to handle a pretty book with
soiled fingers, and then 1t would be up
to itself to decide whether it preferred
to be clean or dirty
So cleverly are such lessons in
sti1led that the children prefer to be
clean.

wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: "Mr. M,
do you always answer your dinner in

Need of Intensive Farming.
Boston Daily Globe.)

The population of the country Is In
creasing so fast that our agricultural
yield is not keeping pace with our
growth and some remedy for the situa-
ton must be devised. The best method
is the simple one of intensive farming.
Intensive farming means close atten-
ton to limited area OF land. The old
farming plan is to put the crops into the
ground, give them some attention OF
course, but rely upon Nature to produce
what she will. The new plan calls for
the cultivation of q much smaller area,
but by methods which involve regular
attention to the developing crops, with
liberal use of fertilizers, attention to
pests, watering, etc. The result is ap-
preciated at harvest time when the yield
is large and satisfying.
The American yield OF wheat averages
only about Is bushels an acre and with
only moderate effort this can be raised e
bushels. The new plan has never been x
adopted generally because the countr!
has been so large that no such care ha'
seemed necessary, but now We are reacn
| ing the period whom intensive farming
will be the only adequate remedy TO
threatened crop shortages. II calls TO
the expenditure of money, but the IN
vestment 10 made profitable BY the re
turns. Some astonishing results hav
been achieved and what ono man ha
done another may approximate II no
equal.

siIo Doubles Grazing Capacity.

One of the things we have learned by
experience is that a summer silo actual
ly doubles the grazing capacity OF q
farm. and doubles its possibilities with
out adding acreage. "My big silo has
added one hundred acres to my farm in
its carrying power" said a farmer, "and
twelve acres of big silage corn did 1t. :"
The few farm hereabouts who had
summer silage to feed have in q sense
actually enjoyed the summer, for they
have had abundant feed for their cows
and no shrinkage of milk except that in
cident to the flies.
The result is that several big dairy
men are now building silos especially
for summer, and the field corn will 60
into the silos as we'll as the real silage
corn, for many have discovered that put
ting the ears of the corn into the silo
causes no loss of their feeding qualities
and saves big expense in shocking,
husking, cribbing, going to mill and
tolls and full loss of half of the feeding
value of the stalks themselves. The
facts seem to warrant the statement
that the corn crop, we'll cared for, is
war excepted-a sure crop; that the silo
preserves it almost perfectly and for an
indefinite time; that few acres OF corn
feeds against many acres of pasture, and
in winter against quite as many acres OF
meadow; that hay or pasture is in no
way superior to silage, properly fed /;
that it is fair insurance against drouth
and grasshoppers and that the cost of a
silo is several times less than the cost
of another farm to get extra forage
without increasing the livestock cor
respondingly.
The silo men are bringing the atten-
ton of the farmers to their structures as
never before, and at the fairs this fall
the round, square, brick, tilt, cement
block and hollow brick silos, each the
best and all equally indestructible, are
exhibited from gate open to gate shut,
and the sales are wonderful; but the
two best proofs set forth are drouth
proof crop and summer silage.-John
Gould, Ohio, in Tribune Farmer.
