Critter Wisdom.

As general proposition 1t may be
yaid that the SOW that has pigs before
she is a year old will disappoint her
owner
Sorghum is an excellent succulent
feed for cows. horses. sheep and hogs
When fed green it saves more ex-
pensive feeds and keeps stock In fair
hssh until other feeds can be gathered.
The safest bull the dairyman can use
is generally cross bull. At first this
may seem a strange assertion. The
reason, however, is simple. The bull
that is known to be cross will always
be watched.
Do not give fresh cows, Immediately
after calving. heavy feed. Give mild
or warm water and small amount OF
light feed, such as bran, that will be
cooling to the system and viii keep
the bowels loose.
Calves at the age of three or four
months will consume some silage II
care is taken to pick out the leafy por-
tons for them. It does not take them
long after this before they will con-
sumo considerable quantity of silage.
The sheep is just as efficient a ma
nure spreader as he is manure
maker. On hil1sides where coarser anil
NAL waste would hardly stick long
enough to do the ground any good
sheep droppings take the place of
specially prepared fertilizer.

TO see this movement for betterment of
the one room schools interfere In any
way with the natural development of
consolidated schools; but. believing as
they do that because of the scattered
farming population of Illinois one room
schools will be necessary for many
years, they seek to make this type so
efficient for the community that de-
sire will be created among the citizens
IN rural communities for greater edu-
catIonal advantages for their children.

Prisoners Keep Their Names.

No more ridiculous statement ap-
peared In the press than that a man
in prison is known by his number and
not by his name. The numbers are
serial; those at Sing Sing are now
over 10000 and those at Auburn over
$1,000 and those at Clinton over 10000
Imagine how cumbersome II would be
to employ such numbers as names
The guards would be candidates for n
madhouse II such task were theirs.
John Jones remains John Jones'
throughout his prison experience and
only knows he has Il number when
he has business with the administra-
tion officers when the number is used.

MANURE FROM THE STREETS.
Oil Must Be Extracted to Make II
Equal to Stable Product.

Equal to Stable Product.
The department of agriculture re.
ceiyes from truckers and gardeners
many requests in regard to the value
of street sweepings as fertilizer.
The collections from sweepings con
sist chiefly of animal manures, trash
and small particles of paving materi-
ais, and at the present time, when the
use of power vehicles is so extensive.
they also contain a percentage Of oily
matter.
Experiments were made to test the
effects of the sweepings on crops. Good
stable manure was also used in order
that comparison might be made. In
almost every case the sweepings PROV
ed to be beneficial. The effect Of the
stable manure, however, was much
greater.
1t was thought that the oil contained
in the sweepings might affect their
fertilizing properties. In order to study
this point the oil was extracted and its
effect on plant growth was tested. In
every case 1t proved harmful. The
sweepings from which it had been ex-
tracted were next tested. In this case
the growth was about equal to that
caused by the stable manure. In other
words, street sweepings from which
the oil has been extracted are prac-
tically equal to stable manure in fer
tilizing value. If some method could
be discovered whereby the oil could
be economically extracted street sweep
ings, on account Of their comparatively
low cost, should constitute a valuable
source of fertilizer to the trucker and
farmer.-Country Gentleman.

PENNIES ARE LIKE PINS.



Nobody Knows How.
That Americans are careless of their
small change Is evidenced by the fact
that of the 150,000,000 pennies annual
ly sent out from the Philadelphia mint
only II small percentage are ever ac.
counted for afterward
1t Is thought that but very small
percentage of pennies lost In the
streets are ever found, since they lack
luster and fail TO catch the eye as does
silver coin The chances are that
they are swept up with rubbish and so
for tho most part, lost as coins.
When the new Lincoln pennies were
first placed In circulation thousands
We're used as souvenirs, never again to

WIRELESS TELEPHONE NOW.
An Italian Scientist Says He Has
Solved the Great Problem.

SOiVou Lne 1Todt TIOplS".
DR.. Ricardo Morettl of Rome claims
to have solved the problem of wireless
telephony owing to a special generator
of electric oscillations of his invention,
which has been successfully expert
mented with between Rome and Trip.
oil. This apparatus consists of two
poles fixed vertically a small distance
apart and through one of which thin
continuous jet of water flows.
The water is evaporated by an cleo
tric spark between the ends of the
poles, and an alternating current of
extraordinary rapidity Is consequently
generated since the oscillations thus
produced are calculated at several hun
dred thousands every second. AS the
oscillations exceed In number and ra-
pidity the vocal vibrations by means Of
this generator 1t is possible to trans
nit the voice over long distances
DR. Morettl has experimental with
his invention In connection with the
naval wireless installations with the
addition of ordinary telephone receivers
and trnnsmitters, but he Is now work
Ing on n hydraulic transmitter particu-
lars of which are still undlyulged, as 1t
has not yet been patented abroad. DR..
Moretti Is tho nephew Of Professor
Marchiafava, the pope's physician.
He admits that he owes his inven-
ton to Marconi and insists that 1T Is
nothing else but an application of
wireless telegraphy to the telephone.
DR.. Moretti has granted the prior
rights of his invention to the govern
ment, and, in fact, wireless telephone
station Is already being installed be-
tween Tripoli and Rome. Meanwhile
an Italian syndicate has been formed
for the exploitation Of the Morettl gen

RAISE STANDARD
OF The SCHOOLS
Illinois Authorities Start Cam
paIgn TO Help Children.
WILL LABEL THE BUILDINGS.

Splendid Record is Required of Teach
ers, Accessories, Houses and Grounds
to Receive Approval of State Eduea-
ton Board.
Labelling country schoolhouses so
that every citizen may know whether
his school is up to standard is new
device of the Illinois state school au-
thoritles, according to information re-
ceived by the United States bureau Of
education.
The schools are inspected as to
grounds, building, furnishings, heating.
ventilation, library. water supply, sani-
tation and qualifications of the teacher.
IL the essentials of a good school are
found to exist a diploma is granted the
district and plate is placed above the
door of the schoolhouse designating 1t
MS standard school," Upon fulfill
ment Of certain further requirements a
higher diploma will be issued and the
plate will read superior school"
Already 657 OF the 1882 one room
schoolhouses in Illinois have earned
the right to be called standard schools
and to display the plate accordingly.
This interesting device is part of a
vigorous campaign waged by the state
of Illinois In behalf of rural schools.
Two experts ON rural education, U. j.
Hoffman and w. S. Booth, under the
direction of Il. G. Blair, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, are de-
voting their entire time to the country
and village schools.
Illinois does not merely ask that the
schools be brought up to standard. The
state tells how 1t can be done. In
bulletin sent to every teacher In the
state the requirements for a standard
school are set forth. Among the speci-
fications are: An ample playground;
good approaches to the school; conven-
lent fuel houses; the building sound,
in good repair and painted; approved
heating arrangements-a jack0ted stove

Observation-Disclosures
Asparagus Seeds.

An excellent plan to follow with
asparagus is to visit the fields in the
fall of the second year, when seed
should be selected from plants Of a
few large stalks rather than many
small ones. The seeds are ripe when
the berries are well colored. After
picking, the berries should be placed in
any convenient tub, barrel or crock
and allowed to soak until the pulp
separates readily from the seed. This
separation may be secured by wash
ipg with the hands. The seeds should
be washed several times and then
cured and stored.-Professor r. l..
Watts, Pennsylvania State College.
