about two-thirds of the agricultural

States are offering some opportunity
for special preparation for teaching
agriculture. Agricultural institutions
of college grade have. of course, been
in existence for many years, but the
agricultural education of children is
"a movement Of such recent growth
that like the pupils, it may almost be
said to be even now in its teens.
In addition TO a photography on agri-
cultural education in all its phases,
the bureau Of education's monograph
contains the most exhaustive cOmpila-
ton of literature on the teaching OF
domestic science, cookery. and home
economics yet brought together. This

in agriculture which are taught their
brothers" said Miss Wright yesterday,
lis even more of an innovation than
the teaching OF agriculture itself tO
children. Nevertheless the newer sub
ject has made such rapid strides that
today practically every elementary
school or high school which offers agri-
culture to its pupils also includes do
nestle science in its course as well.
Indeed, the two courses are regard
ed as so intimately related that in
many colleges the domestic science
courses are included in the department
of agriculture, the girl graduates from
/ the cooking school receiving the same
agricultural degree as do the boys who
take the instruction in agriculture"

They Used a File In Trepannins OPP
erations In Hippocrates' Time.
There is no doubt that some rough
form Of surgery must have existed
from very ancient times. but 1t is
strange to find that so complex and
delicate an operation as trepanning is
one Of the oldest.
So far as actual records go. Hippo
crates gives us the earliest account.
He wrote treatiSes on fractures, dislO-
cations and wounds of the mead. in
which he described the method of pro-
cedure to be followed in the case OF
fractured skull His direction was to
tut away a piece of bone so that the
pressure on the brain might be re-
lieved.
There are also records about this
time and later OF a file being used for
this purpose. which at a time when
anaesthetics were undreamed Of must
have been. to say the least. painful.
According to DR.. T. Rice Holmes. the
operation of removing pieces of bone
was performed long before historic
times The effects on the skull are
easily seen after death and are visible
so long as the bones are preserved.
From inspection OF certain skulls O.

that some Of these had undergone the

HiIlsboro Schools Closed and Public
Gatherings Prevented

The local schools were closed again
last Friday, reports the Hillsboro Sem
try, it being the opinion of the board
of health that 1t was best in order to
prevent the spread of smallpox among
school children. The order also includes
all public meetings, such as shows,
dances, churches, etc, and, according to
the notice, these will not be reopened
for three weeks from date of notice.
The order was quite a disappointment
to the graduating class, as they had all
arrangements made for commencement
exercises. The teachers we're also OBJ
liged to dispense with the usual final
examinations.
The smallpox scare is not at all
alarming, although there are about a
half dozen cases in and around Hills
boro II is said that in a school dis
trict in Greenwood township nearly the
whole school had the disease, but it
was so light it was pronounced chicken
pox and not a case quarantined. We
have not heard of case in this village
where the patient was sick enough TO
be in bed, and in most cases there is
only slight eruption on the skin, not
even as bad as many instancesin chick
enpox. We have heard many remark
that, If this is smallpox, they would
rather their children would have it
than be vaccinated.

AN UNUSUAL INFRINGING
Tobacco Deliveries and Plant Drop
ping at the Same Time

Because of delay in taking from the
poles and delivery of last years tobacco
crop till this late period, an unusual
condition is scored. On the public high
way may be seen vehicles hauling bundle
goods to market for delivery. and in
the adjacent field men and machines
transplanting for this seasons care and
growth. To be sure, these are ex-
ceptional instances, for but small
fraction of tue old crop remains unde
hyered and only few have so early
taken plants from their seed beds and
placed them in the fields. As early as
last week few found their plants large
enough and had their land in shape for
planting, and few commenced setting.
As whole plants are not large enough,
grounds unplowed and unprepared and
weather too cool for successful work
along this line. Cold rains nave tended
to backwardness in tobacco as well as
other branches of farming. but plant
beds have good growth, many weedy
and some rotted because of wet and
cold.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter thus
comments on general tobacco matters:
Another week of rains has put the
| farmers back in their work so that lit
tie has yet been accomplished in pre-
pairing the fields for new crop. The
plant beds are away ahead of the game
this year and promise to be ready for
transplanting before fields are fitted,
causing hustling times with the farm
ers. The weather conditions have
doubtless caused more injury by rotting
of plants than was supposed during the
wet spell"
The remnants of last seasons crop
have been swiped up so rapidly the
past few weeks and the country dis
tricts contains so little unsold tobacco,
that the query is, how much longer the
movement can continue. Only widely
scattered lots remain and these are be-
ing thoroughly hunted. For all prac-
teal purposes the crop has been abb
sorbed. Warehouse handling is likely
to continue for few weeks yet, when
stemming operations will be pushed
with the released help. The market
for old goods continues along remark
ably quiet lines, small trading being the
principal business.
