No Sun Here.

In the valley of the Lyn, near Lyn.
mouth, North Devon, there is a quaiH,
little hamlet called Middleham, where
for three months in the year the sun
is not seen.
The cluster of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides bv
hills so steep and high that from No
vember until February the sun does
not rise high enough to be seen over
their tops.
The first appearance Of the sun is
eagerly looked for. and it is first seen
on February II. the inhabitants call II
their valentine.
If the day should be foggy or cloudy
so that it cannot be seen. there ia
great disappointment especially
among the children. For the first few
days after he fourteenth the sun IL
only seen for very short time. bu.
as the sun rises higher in the heavens
the time ii is in sight increases daily
until its height Ia reached, when Il
gradually begins TO fade from viau
again until in November 1t entirely
san.shes from sight for another shrer

UNDERMINING ENGLISH STUDY.

That the teahing Of English in the
high school needs thorough reorgani-
cation to bring it into touch with mod
ern social and industrial demands is
frankly stated by Professor James F.
Hosic of Chicago Teachers College,
in a report just published by the Uni
ted States bureau of education. The
report contains preliminary sugges-
tons for course in English that will
meet present-day requirements.
In this course English composition
will be limited TO subjects for speak
ing and writing which can be made to
appeal TO young people, according to
DR.. Hosic. I'm both composition and
literature there will be a shift of en-
phasis towards those subjects. and &C
tivities that are of greatest value in
actual life-for example, oral express
sion-and towards modern books and
periodicals. 1t is not to be inferred,
however that the supreme values in
herent in the worlds literary master
pieces will be overlooked"
A fairly heavy task in character
training as well as in the mechanics
OF English is put upon the teacher by
the makers of new course. Broad
ly speaking" says the report, 'it
should be the purpose of every Eng
lish teacher first to quicken the spirit
and kindle the mind and imagination
of his pupils, and to develop habits of
weighing and judging human conduct
with the hope OF leading them to high
er living; second to supply the pupils
with an effective tool for use in their
future private and public life-i. e.,
the best command of language which,
under the circumstances, can be given
them" The report then gives an out
line of the proposed English instruc-
ton from the seventh grade through
the high school.
This revision of the high school
course in English is part of COM
plete reorganization of secondary edu-
cation planned by a committee of the
National Education association. Pre-
liminary statements for the different
subjects have just been issued by the
United States bureau of education

that If Covington won't run, Speed Will.
The Cowboys are hilarious over the pros

CATTLE AND coRNsTALks.

Farmers in the corn belt, especially
In the middle and upper Mississippi
valley, have, at various periods expe-
Tienced loss of cattle pastured on
standing cornstaiks after the corn has
been harvested in the autumn.
An element of mystery has sur
rounded the death OF cattle in these
instances. The disease is character
lied by a very rapid course; in fact,
very commonly there are no premon-
itory symptoms. and it is not unusual
for the owner upon visiting the field
in the morning TO find one or more
fat cattle dead which on the previous
evening were apparently in excellent
health.
Another peculiarly of the disease
Is that losses may occur on one farm
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1913-12-05

or in a field while cattle on an ad
Joining farm or in an adjacent field
may be free from the affection.
Various investigators in the past
have attempted to discover some
germ or organism or some toxic
substance which might be determined
as the cause of this condition, but
thus far the cause of the disease has
not been established
AS death of stock from this affecr
ton is generally sudden, and there is
little opportunity for treatment, ami
mails should not be turned into field
with standing stalks.
AS matter. of fact the disease
may be actually prevented by cutting
the stalks early and only feeding
them after they have been carefully
cured and removed from the field.
Losses from feeding on standing corn.
stalks emphasize the economic value
of cutting the corn and feeding the
stalks in the barnyard or corral, or,
better still, .shredding the dry stalks,
under which condition they may be
fed with the least possible waste.
The so-called cornstalk disease
should not be confused with poisoning
from eating sorghum. Deaths among
stock from eating sorghum have been
traced to prussic acid poisoning, which
poison the sorghum under certain con-
ditions of growth has been found to
contain in combination.

"Come, now, you got to run five

Speed sat up with groan. IF
