The decision OF the Supreme Court in
the Missouri rate cases yesterday caused
little surprise as IL was practically fore
casted by the ruling affecting the Mime

In the late afternoon, when the text Of
the Missouri ruling had been made

IL as being confusing. and as a resvt
there was considerable selling pressure I'm

THE WORK OF THE RURAL SCHOOLS


1t is coming to be realized that one of
the gravest problems which our civiiza-
ton has to solve is that which concerns
the future of rural life. According to
statistics and surveys of undoubted re-
liability, country school and country
church alike are proving unequal to the
task tn at new conditions have laid upon
them the task of spreading real enlight-
eminent, of providing centers for social
life, of creating spirit of cooperation,
and of checking the drift of population
toward the cities. How the case stands
with he country church Messrs. Charles
Gill and Clifford Pinchot have shown in
their book devoted to this subject, and it
is noticeable that they emphasize the
same point as J. D. EggIeston and Robert
w. Bruere, the authors of the new book,
''The Work of the Rural School," The
point of common emphasis is the necessity
of a programme of social service in which
school and church, State and university,
shall aid. The slogan of the new move
ment which aims to transform the little
red school-house" of tradition into a
modern institution is, Hitch up education
with life" Just what this may mean it
takes whole book to explain, and the
explanation is as interesting as it is worth
while. No doubt, as regards cities.
system Of vocational training may be of
doubtful value-as the experience Of
Rochester, for instance, has shown--nor
should we be too eager to follow the
examples set by German cities, such as
Munich. But in the country there can
be no question about the wisdom of
"hitching education up with lfe."
Plainly and authoritative]y "1he Work
of the Rural School" tells just what has
been done and what still remains to be
done in this direction. Methods of
teaching are undergoing radical change.
School gardens and school farms not only
supply valuable training, but aid in the
acquisition of reading, writing, arithmetic,
and geography. Corn clubs ano similar
organizations teach scientific agriculture,
and knowledge spreads from children tc
parents. Medical inspection is made
something more than a form. Schools
are consolidated, and free transportation
is provided for the children. Better
homes are supplied to teachers. These
are only few of the lines along which
intelligent and devoted men and women
are laboring to improve the country
schools and, through them, the whole Of
country life. The movement is strong
and it is strengthening, but it has not yet
gathered power enough fully to meet the
emergency. The darker side of the pic
ture reveals obsolete methods still in
force, bad moral and sanitary conditions.
general apathy or discomfort, the con-
tinued drift away from the farm. "The
Work of the Rural School, covers the
whole subject. The book eminently
deserves reading; its clear cut style and
wealth of interesting detail make the
reading pleasure.

THE aACERsTOWN POULTRY SHOW

Eight thousand of Americas finest
chickens were bidding for prizes at the
Great Hagerstown Poultry Show, which
wound up in blaze of glory Friday
night, Oct 18th. These birds represented
the pride and cream OF America s best
breeders, all under one roof, seeking the
coveted "Blue Ribbon and valuable
cash prizes.
Unfortunately, only few of the eight
thousand birds on display could obtain
prize, as competition among the different
breeds was as keen as razor edge.
One of the largest winnings at this Won
derful show was made by the Pratt Ex-
pertinent Station at Morton, Pa. Fresh
from their victory at Allentown a few
weeks before, the Pratt Birds made an
other magnificent showing at Hagers-
town. They made clean sweep on their
wonderful string of Rose Comb Black
Minorcas, winning every first prize there.
Not satisfied with this prize, the birds
from the Pratt Station also captured
1rst prize for the finest pen of White
Plymouth Rocks; first prize on beauti-
full pen of White Wyandottes; first
prize for best young Pekin Drake and
for best young Pekin Duck.
This marvellous showing of the birds
from the Pratt Food Co. s Poultry Farm
demonstrates their ability to success
fully breed, hatch, rear and feed their
stock, so as to compete with the world 5
best in poultrydom.
Through the courtesy of the PrattF'ood
Co., we are pleased to announce to our
readers that they may feel at perfect
liberty to write the above Company
about any subject relating to poultry, as
a complete staff of poultry experts are
employ ed, whose sole duty is to answer

One of the essential things in secur-
ing large yearly record is fall fresh

produce a large flow of milk in winter
The claim is sometimes made that
feed stuffs are too expensive in winter
to produce milk at a profit. This is
all wrong. and we have only to in
vestigate the work of the dairymen
who follow all the year round dairying
to substantiate the fact that they are
making the most money.
With the silo and an abundance of
alfalfa hay milk can be produced on
thousands of farms almost as cheapy

as large quantities. The increase in

Had half of his cows freshened in the
