THE PUTNAM parR,o August 1913
 New EngIand Must HelD

1t is the general expression Of senti- ment ,among Boston business men and we believe that sIl New England feels the same way-that the best thing to do, in this unusual opporteni- ty, when both the New Haven and the Boston and Maine systems are starting in under new managmeDts, is to show in some public fashion dc : termination to cooperate in the "build- ing-upr policies which the new man agements will undoubtedly begin, on those systems. It will help the suc- cessors of President Mellen, if they feel, from the outset, that all New England wishes them success in their laborious task of bringing these two greg. systems to point where u e whole section of New England will | e satisfied with their service. 1et'if the. people of New England want to see that hope realized, they can, easily enough. What is needed is patience and experimentation Advertiser.

co.ord,natinr Home and School

Bringing the school and the home into closer fellowship is one of the pro- gressiye movements that educators and parents are pushing throughout the country. Providence, R. l., and Spfing Valley, Or, are among the communities that think they find crediting home duties as part of the childrenis school work help to bring the child, the educator and the family into actual cooperation.
 For doing so many things at home the pupil is credited with so many minutes on his studies al school. A boy, for example, who spends an hour and half in currying horses, feeding chickens, cows, horses and swine, cut ting wood, hunting eggs and milking cows is credited with this time as spent in study. A girl puts in an hour and three quarters on her mothers household duties, as preparing supper, washing the dishes and so on, is con- sidered at school to have spent that amount of time in studying and prac ticing domestic science.
 The children derive as much assist ance in forming all-round character from these practical activities as from boring over books. The Spring Valley teacher gives school credit for every sort of real work a country child can .Ia sa oha Ia CF Items Cleanliness, caring for ones own school clothing and retiring at 3 D. I'll. are on the list. The school is full of useful articles made by the pu- pills at their homes and gaining credits for them. To earn a credit of 800 min utes--a full school day-means whole. holiday for the winter.
 The effects on the children and par ents are excellent. The pupils take greater interest than ever in their reg. ular school duties. The fathers and mothers find their heavy home bur dens nightly diminished. The school became ithe first in it's county to be standardized through complying with the Oregon standard of what consti- tules good rural school.
 This is vocational education and manual training of the practical and effective kind. It is done where it should be-in the home instead of the school laboratory. It K actual. It makes the school enter sympathetieal-
 y and serviceably into the home. The knitting together of the school prob lems and lessons and of the home in- terests and activities sweetens the home and strengthens the school.- Spokane Spokesman Review.

Railroad Company Will Take Steps tO'
 Get Rid of Track Walkers

Freight hoppers and other trespas- sers of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad are to have short shrift hereafter, the road having start ed sweeping crusade to keep of it's properties all not having business there. Hereafter persons found tres passing on the railroad, whether steal ing rides or not, will be arrested and an endeavor made to have the courts prosecute them to the limit as eN. amples to others, but especially as a warning that the railroad property is a dangerous place.
 The crusade has been under way for some weeks especially near the cities where the trespassing has been most general. In Bridgeport, during the past week over a dozen trespassers have been brought into court.
 Because of the electrification, which is expected to be completed ill few months, trespassing on the railroad will be even more dangerous than be- fore and the rosd has determined to re- duee it to a minimum 10 ensure few fatalities or injuries. All along the line, from New York to New Haven, signs fare being put up warning tres passers oti the property under penalty of arrest, and, according to employees of the road, orders have been issued to see that the warnings are strictly en- forced.

Flying Machine at New London County
 Easr

Fd8f
 The annual exhibit of the New Lon- don County Agricultural society on the familiar grounds at East Great Plain Sept. f-3 will, according 10 the men now putting a whole lot of time and gray matter into it, be far and away the best fair tbat eastern Con- necticut has had since a time when the memory of man, and some women, runneth not to the contrary.
 First of all, Of course, there is the ny- ing machine. In good old days. when some men now more or less middle aged were taking their girls to see the sights collected once year from the New London county countryside, there were balloon ascensions-when the gas for Mae Gilbert and other sky pilots got to the grounds on time; but the balloon period is not in line with the Twentieth century fair, and this is going to be a Twentieth century fair If anybody should ask you. The Thor Aviation company of New York has been contracted with by Secretary C. D. Gfeenmsn, who said yesterday that there'd be a couple of flights by com petent operator in Curtiss biplane every bay.
 "That, 1 think, is going to be the drawing card that will get out say 70, 0e0 people day. said Mr. Greenman. "We're out for fair this year that shall exeede every previous fair on re- cord. The Thor people are making successful flights all over the eountry.'
 It is semi officially stated that the society's press agent Norwich news paperman, will go up at least once in the aeroplane- He thinks if Congress- man Bryan Mahan can sail up with Harry Atwood, he can hazard trip with one of the Thor operators.
 The racing. too, Is to be drawing card this year. There will be faster classes and bigger purses to stimulate this part of the big show.
 The stage attractions, like everything else on the 1913 fair programme will be high gade and with something to tickle everybody. On Labor day Jack McGrath will wrestle with some good heavyweight to be announced on the platform opposite the grandstand-
 Plans are falready under way for a midway that will be full of interest for all hands, The attractions here will be along Twentieth century lines, like everything else on the grounds.
 Entries in the cattle and sheep classes are expected to exceed those Of last year, when the livestock showing was nothing to be sneezed at. The hall also, will be full of good stutf- The society is offering a si90 purse for grange exhibits-S50 to first, S3o to second and $20 to third-and the secretary is in touch with number of live organizations that promise 8 sharp competition. To date, the claim of it's boosters, many of them young men with a lot of enthusiasm to put into the thing, that the 1918 exhibition is going Ito be the real Twentieth century fair, seems pretty sure of realization. <
 Everybody who goes to the TWen- tieth century fair is going to get dollars worth of entertainment for a n 50 cent piece this time.

Two acres of ounces ought TO make
more money for the farmer than 20
acres OF apples. according to J. C.

the Ohio College of Agriculture, in a
lecture to the pomology class.
The ounce is more neglected in

ever saw an overplus of ounces. There
is an unlimited demand for them. II

WAR ON HOG CHOLERA
Serum Developed by Department
of Agriculture Used.
Cleaning Up of infection ls Huge JOB
A But Believed Can be Accomplished
Same as Eradication Of
Ticks in South.

beginning with a few counties In
Iowa and Indiana, the department. OF
agriculture is commencing campaign
for the eradication of hog cholera. AS
this disease is as widespread as the
hog raising industry. which covers the
whole country, the cleaning up OF the
infection is a large order. 1t Is be
lieved, however. that it can be done IN
much the same way that the cattle tick
is being eradicated from the south.
Before the tick eradication work
started 1t WIS feared that it was an
impossible task. The experts of the
department, however, figured out meth
DDS of cattle dipping. pasture rotation
and other means of control so that
now a quarter of the area in the south
that formerly was under strict cattle
quarantine has been declared tick free
and released Counties adjoining the
cleared territory have seen the bene-
al and are taking up the work SO that
eventually the impossible will be &C
complished and the whole of the south
will be turned into a cattle-raising
country.
1t is thought that the same thing can
ba done with hog cholera. Congress
last year appropriated $4,000 to start
the work. The beginning in Iowa will
b. in cooperation with the Iowa State
college. The method used will be the
serum that was developed by Doctor
DDrsett of the department of agricul-
ture.
Hog cholera is by all odds the great
eat scourge Of the hog-raising industry.
It was estimated that it cost the farm
ers last year S60,000,000. Before the
discovery of the serum treatment the
toll was still larger. Cholera was re-
garded as inevitable and was almost
always fatal. There was no protection
against ii except segregating the we'll
hogs, and this precaution was uncer-
tain.
The injection Of the serum gives inn
munity from attack even on close con-
TACT. The immunity is not permanent,
butt it lasts long enough to allow clean
ing up an entire community 1t was
estimated that the second year the
serum was in use it saved about SILL
000, 900. Now many of the states are
manufacturing the serum in their own
| agricultural laboratories and distribute
1t free on application.
The plan for cleaning up the country
Is to commence on county areas, as is
being done in Indiana and Iowa, and
gradually spread the work, cleaning up
In widening circles and preventing the
importation of the disease by careful
quarantine. Amy specific local outbreak
will be wiped out as quickly as it can
be located.
1t may be the work of years to get
all the country cleaned. but 1t Is be.
