which will make 100000 pounds of

The fiber was purchased in July
and. according to r. H Smith, $4,000
was saved by buying 1t then, as the
present price is greatly in advance of
the amount paid.
For the present, the second floor of
the new S6x250 foot reinforced concrete
building will be used for the mill, the
first floor being used as a wareroom.
About 100 convicts will be en-
ployed and the output will be about
Is 900 pounds a day. 1t has not been
definitely decided as to how the
product will be marketed, but 1t is
expected that it will be sold to the
farmer direct, so as to compete with
the other Irvine on the market in cost.
The plant will be in charge of Su-

BY PROF. j. G. MILWARD,


Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
The growing of pure, standard varie-
ties of potatoes and the elimination
of intermediate types are necessary in
potato shipments. One of the best
evidences of progress along this line
which has been made in Wisconsin
is the awakening of interest in COM
munity potato growing. A study of
the state shows that there are several
sections where a community plan of
potato growing can be successfully
carried out. In the development of
community potato growing it is
planned to eliminate varieties of
doubtful commercial value and get
the growers in any vicinity to concen-
trate so far as possible on small list
of adaptable varieties which are rec
commended and described in bulletin
which may be obtained from the Edi-
tor. Agricultural Hall, Madison.
The problem of sorting and grading,
necessarily complicated when mixed
varieties are grown, will be greatly

Grease The fleece.

The experienced shepherds Of Scot
land and England often grease the
fleece, using very cheap fat for the
purpose. This is as protection for
sheep feeding out of doors in the
rainy weather. But grease is a pro
tectionStoo against winds and dry cold
Hence the feeding is to be regulated
in regard to this fact. This accounts
for the usefulness of oil meal, which
supplies the needed fat as well as
protein for the fleece.

Day School for Deaf.

In the last bulletin of the state de-
partment of education the work of the
Green Bay school for the deaf and
blind is described. The article is pre-
pared by Miss SeIla Flatley, principal
of the school and the bulletin COM
piled by A. J. Whine, inspector of the
schools. There are twenty-five chill
dren in the class now and there are
four teachers.
"The oral day school for deaf chill
dren was established in Green Bay by
Miss Margaret Sullivan in September,
1897, with an enrolment of eight pu-
pills." says the bulletin. THE board
of education thought 1t we'll to put
this school under the special charge
of one member of the board who
would confer with the teachers on all
points of interest and advancement
of the school. Mr. Arthur Ducha-
teau was appointed to this position,
and from then to the present time,
with the exception of about two years,
during which Mr.. Duchateau was not
a member of the board, he consc1en-
tiously filled this position.
In 1902 the school was located in
the East side high school building,
and when a larger room was needed
to accommodate the pupils, large
room was fitted up for them in an ad-
dition which was being built to the
Whitney school. In a few years this
room was not large enough and an
other room was fitted up in the same
building. At present the twenty-five
children are taught by four teachers
in two large rooms, this being the
best that the board of education can
do for the school at present.
"The deaf children have the advan-
tage of taking work under any special
city teacher when Miss Flatley, the
principal, feels that it is an advan-
tage to the child. The physical cul-
ture director in the city schools
teaches the deaf children as he does
any hearing class and with equal sue
cess. Three of the larger boys took
manual training and mechanical draw
ing with the hearing children, but en-
tered the class one class lower, so
that the sixth grade deaf boys worked
side by side with the seventh grade
hearing boys They proved them
selves capable of doing the work fully
as we'll One deaf boy averaged sec
ond highest in the class, receiving an
average of 81 for his years work.
The other two boys averaged we'll
with the hearing children. Both were
above co. The boys will be given the
advantage of the trade school next
year. The girls are taught sewing,
and show a great interest and ability
in their work They will also be
able to take domestic science next
year. The school is fully equipped
with everything the principal feels is
practical and a help to the education
of the child.
THE attitude of the entire board
of education is shown in providing
that in 1913 the school for the deaf
shall be located in a new building,
where it will have five modern rooms,
four classrooms and an assembly hall,
in which nothing will be spared to
make the children happy and comfor-
table and every effort made to give
them the best and most practical ed
ucation possible"

The Farmers Aid.

A quail examined in Virginia had
10000 pigweed seeds in its crop
these seeds are very small, of course.
At this rate someone estimates the
quail of Virginia and North Carolina
together could consume in one season
about 1920 tons of weed seed.
There are 25 federal bird reserva-
tons in our country, consisting of isl
ands or wide tracts of land or water,
ON which all killing of birds is unlaw-
full during certain seasons OF the
year. The birds soon learn where
they are safe from cat and gun. The
birds in these reservations frequently
become very tame.
