The effect Of training in agriculture

also given instruction in home eco
Monies. It will be noticed that before
agriculture and home economics were
taught that 157 of the 1874 boys wanted
to leave the farm, and 1853 Of the 174
girls wanted to do likewise. After AZ
ficulture and home economics had
been taught In these same schools the
question was again asked the pupils
In these same 81 schools as to what
they wanted to do. Now 1872 Of the
174 boys wanted to stay on the farm,
while 161 of the ITS girls expressed 4
desire to become home makers and
farmers. A wonderful change in three
years. It meant changing an almost

Manchester village is face to face
with quite serious proposition, in the
present maple tree blight, which has
come on all of a sudden. If we are
to preserve one of the greatest beauties
of our village it will be necessary to
take some action Immediately towards
spraying the maple trees to check this
ravage. J. L. Sherman, the u. S.
agricultural advisor, has looked at
several of the trees affected and says
that immediate action will be necessary
to prevent the spread of the trouble.
He also says that it will be necessary to
spray next spring when the leaves are
coming out to prevent ravages of the
maple tree worm. To spray, or not to
spray, that's the question. Manchester

And then there are so many others,
Fathers, mothers. sisters, brothers,
Aunts, uncles, cousins that remain,
Links in the long ancestral chain,
1t always must be strong to bind us
And of our kinship here remind us.
Those muse those, who, with silvering
hair,
And faces scanned with lines of care,
Came back to once again renew
Old friendships and the past review.
And reminiscent grown, they tell
Of accidents that once befell
Of escapades and pranks galore,
And anecdotes goodly store.
To you, who have not left, as vet.
! The valley where your feet were set.
Who have not flown the dear home-nest,
For the wide reaches of the west;
Or to the call, insstent-sure,
Of the gay city's wondrous lure
Have hardened; make you haste but
slowly,
To leave your home, however lowly.
Be sure your wings are strong to fly,
Before the longer flights you try,
And thank the Heaven that smiles
above you,
That you yet live with those who love
you.
Some day with vision dimmed by tears,
You'll look across the frightening years
And strive from memory to borrow
Surcease from manhood's care and sor-
row.
For wheresoe'er our feet may roam,
Our heart-strings, reach away back
home,
Thus wOrdwOrn souls, that drift away,
Or from the Fathers household stray,
Weary and oftimes heart-sick grown,
Must some day turn toward the Throne
And Home at last, forever rest
In peace, upon the Savior's breast.
Today in these familiar places,
Surrounded but by smiling faces,
Let song and laughter hold full sway,
Drive sadness and dull care away.
And when another year rolls round,
With all its joys and sorrows crowned,
If Heaven permits, pray we may
All meet again on "Old Home Day."

Stam ping Out of tuberculosis De-
mands More Hospitals

Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Missis-
sippi are the only states in the United
States which have made no hospital or
sanatorium provision for consumptives,
says The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
in bulletin issued today. At the same
time the association asserts that, while
there are 80, 600 beds for tuberculosis
patients in other states. this number is
very inadequate, barely more than one
for every eight or ten needy patients
being provided. Some states have less
than 80 beds, and in not a single one is
there sufficient number available
The bulletin points that, although the
death rate from tuberculosis has de-
clined steadily for the last twenty five
years, marked increase in hospital
and sanatorium beds must be made be-
fore rate of even of deaths per
1000 population can be reached At
the present time the city death rates in
this country range from eight or nine
pei l,bON iiNilS W az IlBu do % VI ~,
with the average around Is or 16, ac-
cording to the latest reports of the
bureau of the census.
The National Association estimates
that there are over a million consump-
tives in the United States, of whom
probably at least one-third are unable
to provide for themselves the necessary
treatment at home. Most of these
cases are a menace to the health of
their families and associates, and should
be in special hospitals. At the present
time, however, even if every case were
known, it would not be possible to pro-
vide accommodations for more than one
in eight or ten. The removal of these
foci of infection demands more and bet.
ter hospital and sanatorium provision.

Today, the various state governments
assisted by the federal government are
scientifically reforesting enormous
tracts of land The nursery, literally
grown under glass, which is maintained
by the State of New York in connec-
ton with its extensive work in the
Adirondack mountains, is typical of
similar forestry work Here millions
of trees are raised from seeds in long,
narrow beds like ordinary garden vege-
tables. Some interesting experiments
have been carried out at this station in
importing trees when very small, and
after careful cultivation setting them
out among the mountains. The trees
grown in the government forestry sta
ton in Germany are considered the fin
est in the world. They are brought
over when still very small sprouts, mil
lions of them at time, tied up in great
bales. A few years later thousands of
acres of rolling mountains will be
clothed by these tree.
The seeds rom which these forests
are propagated are gathered with great
care from only the youngest and strong
est trees. AT the proper time in the
early spring they are planted in glass
frames in soil about eighteen inches in
depth. One ounce of yellow pine seeds,
for instance, is sufficient to start for
est over sixteen linear feet of earth.
Within ten days after planting the first
sprouts begin to appear. The diminu-
tive trees are usually transplanted the
first spring after planting and in two
years are ready to set out in their
permanent position. Great care is
taken is spacing the trees according to
the slope on which they may stand.
For several years the ground around
them is looked to, the dead trees are
removed, and in due time a strong
young forest clothes the barren hills. -
