Especial to the Farmer.)

Fairfield Dec. 26-The authorities are Investigating the running dawn of Michael O'Donnell, who has a sister living at BIO Poplar street, Bridgeport, on the Greenfield Hill road Wednesday night. Suffering from fractured leg and disIocated hip he was taken to Bridgeport hospital by County Com missioner Simeon Pease in his auto mobile.

Love of Play

clumsiness ana uncouthness and ac- quire certainty and grace.
 A cHILD's LOVE OF PLAY IS USED FOR HIS SELF DEVELOP MENT. HE IS STUDYING AND WORKING WITHOUT REALIZING IT. HE LEARNS TO WRITE WITH OUT coPYBook TEDIuM. HE LEARNS TO DISTINGUISH BE- TWEEN ROUGH AND SMOOTH BY FEELING LITTLE BOARDS UPON WHICH ARE FASTENED ALTERNATE STRIPS OF ROUGH AND SMOOTH PAPER. AFTER WARD HE PLAYS WITH LET TIERS AND NUMBERS IN ROUGH AND SMOOTH PAPER. HE PRES ENTLV FINDS HIMSELF TRACING THESE LETTERS AND NUMBERS, AND PRESENTLY HE CAN WRITE.
 By this method CHILDREN OF FOUR YEARS H HAV E LEARNED TO WRITE IN SIX WEEKS. After three months most of the little people of the Case dei Bambini write very well. Learning to read is a game that the children play with delight. The prettiest toys of the school are shown to them. The name of every toy is written on piece of paper, which is folded and placed in bag. A child draws one of these bits of paper from the bag. If he can CORRECTLY PRONOUNCE THE WORD written on it he Is AL REST OF THE DAY with the toy that is named. Short phrases are taught by the use of black board and by encouraging the chil- dren to carry on conversation among themselves. By the Mon tessori methods even DEFEC- TIVES AND IDIOTS have been taught to read and write.

 Developing a perfect SENSE OF TOUCH is one of the first steps of my system of training. I teach little children to see with their fingers. By this method the delicacy of touch, which all chil- dren have and which is usually blunted after the age of six, is re- tained for life and greatly devel- oped.
 The most attention is given to developing the other senses by the USE OF TOYS AND PLAY THINGS. Without realizing that they are being taught the children acquire coordination in their movements, lose awkwardness,

Weanino the P;oa

Some people seem anxious to wean
the pigs. do not believe q person
should be In too much OF q hurry
about this. however. says a CORE
spondent of the Kansas Farmer AS a
matter of fact. there Is no feed quite
so good as their own mothers milk
There is limit. of course. for the
length of time she can provide this
food. II the sow is to raise two filters
each year we must not expect her to
care for each litter as long time as
when she raises only one.
II she Is holding up fairly well In
flesh would not hesitate to leave the
pigs with her nine or ten weeks.
When you start to wean the pigs do
not take the whole litter away at once
This will not only prevent the SOW
worrying, but 1t will probably avoid
trouble with her udder. Take away
the two hardest youngsters flrst, and
then. after day or two, remove one
or two more. Keep this up until the
whole litter has been taken away.
