Country Schools Falling Behind.

When Roe esevelt's Country Life
Commission was alive. says Herbert
l.. Quick. writing in Success Maga-
zine. it laid down and made orthodox
this postulate of rural progress: The
welfare of rural life demands a new
kind of rural school.
And of all places in the world. the
country is the place for the child to
make intellectual advancement. 1t
can't help learning lots more of the
really important things If life than
can the city child. 1t sees the yearly
miracle of seedtime land harvest. 1t
sees the breast of Mother Nature
barred to the sucking lips of hungry
race. 1t hears the birds songs. and
sees their immemorial household
economoy. 1t has part in the only
business left to US, in which food,
shelter and clothing are produced
visibly before the family eye as a part
of the family task. When it ceases
creeping. it toddles out into a kinder
garter as wide as the horizon. as brill
liant as the sun, as fragrant as the
rose. and as free as air. And yet the
country child, over most Cf this nation,
must go to schools so poor that it is
placed at disadvantage with the city
child. One of the strongest influences
that draw country people to the city
! think the very st"ongest-is the
desire to place the childen where they
"can have better schooling"

STOCK, CROP AND FARM NOTES

Elemendorf farm shipped three
car loads of Thoroughbred yearlings to
New York Wednesday for the English
market. They will cross the ocean on
the steamship Minnehaha. which sails
on Saturday.
The Danville Messenger says
"Mr. George B. Robinson sustained a
severe loss Sunday night when one of
his fine colts died of some mysterious
disc ase. The colt had shown no signs
of illness and died very suddenly. He
was a Bohemian King and was being
put in condition for the fairs. Mr..
Robinson recently refused $3.50 for the
colt"
There are So highly bred youngsters

Prospects Good for Plenty OF
Birds.

The Richmond Climax says: Game
Warden Dick Bailey for Madison
county. claims that the prospects for
birds was never so encouraging as this
year. The warm dry spring has
brought the hatch out wonderfully and
the rains have not been heavy enough
to drown the real young ones. as is the
case so often heretofore. He is anx-
ious that all owners of bird dogs see
that they remainl away from the fields
as much as possible and not disturb
the young ones. There are hundreds
of young ones killed each year by row
ing bird dogs. that hunt the young and
kill them before they are able to fly. "

Now is the Time to Swat the Fly

If you see a fly walking over the
| food and dishes. or alighting on your
baby's face, remember that he is a
messenger of disease and death. says
the July Woman's Home Companion.
The rules for dealing with the fly
nuisance. published by the Merchants
Association of New York, and widely
| circulated by them, are worth reprint
| ing. We repeat our suggestion that
an excellent work for any live wOman's s
club would be to reproduce these rules
on cards and distribute them broad
cast.
Keep tho flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll of contagious dis
eases. Kill every fly that strays into
the sick room. His bUdy is covered
with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near your
premises. All refuse which tends in
any way to fermentation. such as bed
ding straw. paper waste and vegetable
matter should be disposed of or cover.
ed with lime or kerosene.
Screen all food. Keep all recepta-
cles fo- garbage carefully covered and
the cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil
or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit. screened or sprinkled with lime.
OIL or other cheap preparation. See
that your sewage system is in good
order; that it does not leak, is up-to-
date and not exposed to flies. Pour
kerosene into drains.
Cover food after a meal; burn or
bury all table refuse. Screen all food
for sale.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
pecially the kitchen and dining room.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the huuse
to kill flies.
Don't forget, if you see flies. that
their breeding place is in nearby filth.
1t may be behind the door, under the
table. or in the Cupsidor.
If there is no dirt and filth. there
will be no flies.
If there is a nuisance in the neigh
borhCod, il would be advisable to
write at once to the health depart
mert.
