HELPS FOR TEACHERS.

That our schools should cease spend
ing so much time teaching theofeti-
cal subjects and devote more time to
the dissemination of practical knowl-
edge, is now admitted by all. Indeed,
some states require, by law, the teach
ing of agriculture in the public schools
but even where this is not the case,
much good can be done by progress
sive teachers who wish to introduce
the subject in their schools. But
right here the teacher, no matter
how able, is usually confronted by a
serious problem: How to teach agri-
culture? The subject is a new one
to teachers, they did not study it in
their youth, and they have little prac-
tical experience to go by.
The United States department of
agriculture, recognizing the teachers
need of encouragement along this line,
has undertaken to help all who apply
for assistance. This work is in charge
of the office of experiment stations,
and the director will gladly give as
sistance where needed. The govern
ment issues many publications which
can be used to advantage by teach
ers. Circular No. "a, office of ex-
pertinent stations, Washington, D. c.,
entitled Free Publications Classified
for the Use Of Teachers" contains .
comprehensive list of these. Two
farmers bulletins which would also
be of practical assistance are No. 408:
"School Exercises in Plant Produc-
tom; and No. 400: School Lessons
on Corn" These farm bulletins may
be had by applying to the secretary.

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED

Tbe- present general assembly has
been in session nearly one MONTH 1t
has been noted for the lack of inter-
est which the people of the state have
given to its procedure. This is caused
by two sources. First, the United
States senatorial question was settled
before the assembly met, and second,
the corporations of the state, which
usually fought reform measures so
hard, are paying no attention to what
the assembly does. If invited their
representatives will appear and dis
cuss questions, but there are no lob
byists hanging around, and no at
tempts are being made to enact or
defeat legislation. The corporations
know that if legislation is enacted OBJ
jectionable to them they can refer it
cheaper than they can defeat it in the
assembly. They also know that they
can initiate anything they want.
Again, another reason why the in
terest is tagging is because the passes
are cut off. People out over the state
desiring to get bill enacted or to
defeat one now write letter.
The old-time legislation, with the
aisles crowded and with men stand
ing around the desks of the members
violently shouting and waving their
hands over some pending proposition,
is thing of the past. Compare this
assembly with the fourteenth, when
one morning there was sawed off
shotgun on the desk of every Repub-
lican member as warning to the
Democrats not to try to throw them
out, and it's like comparing summer
to the storm which wrecked the bridge
over the Mississippi at st. Louis. The
legislative department is attracting
practically no more attention than the
executive, judicial or any other de-
partment of the state government

Senator Warren will no doubt con-
tinue as senator for the next six years
but his wings will be clipped. Warren
preserved his power and influence by
toting square with his friends and the
people Of Wyoming. He is one of
the school that believes there is and
should be political honesty. As rule
you will find the one term congress-
man and senator's belong to the class
Of political traitors--neither true to
their friends or constituents as a
whole. This was specially exemplified
in the case of one Warren A. Hag-
gott, at one time lieutenant governor
and later elected to congress where he
held forth one brief term when the
people who voted for him in the first
election turned him down with sick
cning thud the second time because
he had been found wanting in de-
cency and ability. No such charge
has ever been made against Warren
Always man of influence because
he kept his word with the people. Few
men have enjoyed greater power and
influence and Wyoming has been well
looked after

WHY COLORADO is BANKRUPT

The Herald has time and again re-
ferred to the great political machine
in control of the government of Colo
RADIO the past four years that has cost
the taxpayers more than million of
dollars and cheated state institutions
out of needed funds. There is no rea-
son why state employe should not
earn his money the same as one work
ing for private individual or cor
poration. We venture the assertion
that if the facts were made known one
individual stenographer or bookkeeper
does more work than an average of
three state employees. The legislature
has created board after board requir-
ing highly paid secretary and ste
nographer where the work does not
require an hours time day.
This rotten condition is recognized
by Governor Ammons and his inten-
tions are first class and we believe
he will have the nerve to carry them
out He is business man-not a
politician. At any rate we are going
to back him in his proposal to reduce
the useless expense to the extent of
possibly half million dollars a year.
Every department is burdened with
help. Under the civil service en-
ployes will be protected from one ad-

The Jacobson kid who married a
girl ten days ago in Denver, is re-
,eiving altogether too much notoriety.
The only thing to do is to make the
best of bad mess. The law on mar
riage should be so explicit that kids
would be unable to get any one to
marry them. Place the responsibility
largely on the ministers and officials
empowered to marry couples. Then
they will not be uniting boys and girls
of tender ages whose puppy love gets
the best of them.

ABOUT HOGS.

Epidemics among hogs are more
easily prevented than cured.
In all cases where perfect cleanli-
ness has been enforced there has been
no disease.
Hogs are among the most cleanly
animals if they are given fair
chance.
All people who stick to hogs and
learn to handle and feed them prop
erly will win out.
Add corn to the fattening rations
in sufficient quantities to finish them
up quickly.
Never kill pig for market or home
consumption until it is ripe or fit.
Separate the young breeding sows
from the fattening stick.
A fattening ration will ruin SOW
for breeder.
Keep a record of each sow to de-
termine her worth as breeder.
Fatten the rattle-headed SOW that
is hard to handle at pigging time.
Handle the young boar carefully.
Teach him to obey the word, and to
walk ahead of you.

MINING NOTES FROM
THE SILvERTON MINER

This week thorough sampling of
the Little Maud propertg in Maggie
gulch is under way. Robert a. Bryce.
formerly of the Champion, who ar
rived in Silverton the first of this
week, is in charge. 1t is understood
that the work is being dane OH behalf
of Cobalt people, who are cortemplat-
ing taking over that valuable prop
erty.
Work has been resumed with the
object in view of unwatering the Car
Donate Lake shaft and workings.
Further development at the Con-
gress is progressing rapidly with
good force of men. Hugh King, the
foreman, says that although the ship
ments were good during 1912, the new
year will have much greater and
more profitable production.
Larson and Butcher, who are leas-
ing on the Jumbo in Cork Screw guleh,
have quit shipping until sprioe. For
the remainder of the winter they will
keep two men doing development
work.
A force of mer are employed at the
Red Mountain Mines and Mountain
King properties getting everything in
readiness for resumption on large
scale in the spring. 1t is expected
that these properties will be big ship
pers during the present year
About thirty men are steadily em-
ployed at the Barstow mine on de-
velopment work.
1t is rumored that the Big Horn tun-
ney, half mile south of Sheridan
Junction, will resume operations early
in the spring.
The snow at Red Mountain aver
ages in depth from three to three and
a half feet, much less than at this
time of year for a long time past
1t is very soft next to the ground and
the danger of slides in many districts
is great.
Col. E. C. Condit departed last Sat
! urday morning for another trip to
Paris, France, in connection with mis-
mining business. He expects to be
back in Silverton again in months
| time, with all affairs connected with
his promotions finally settled, and will
then begin active work on his prop
critics.

Just why Democrats in the house
are spending so much time in trying
to pass certain tariff measures is be-
yond understanding because should
they be agreed to by the senate Presi-
dent Taft will veto them. Taft will
stand pat This is one of his cardinal
principles and we agree that he should
do so in this case. Let the full re-
sponsibility of tariff reduction rest
on the Democratic party, permitting
the Democrats to enjoy all alleged
benefits. However, this does not re-
lieve President Taft from the mis-
take of not insisting on reasonable
tariff reductions while he had Re-

country would not now be in the hands
of Democrats who will undoubtedly
go the limit.

There is no discounting the fact that
the Grand Junction fruit district pro-
duces and ships vast quantity of
fruit every year and that the district
will lead all other sections of the state
for many years to come if not for all
time. While the San Juan basin pro-
duces equally as good fruit and fully
az much per acre, there is not che
acreage and will not be for a long
time. Fruit lands are less than half
the price in the basin then prevail
in the Grand valley, at the same tine
there is not the demand here for land
as in the Grand valley. But all this
will be changed in a few years. AS
the young orchards begin producing
and our fruit shipments increase and
really make it worth while the de-
mand for fruit lands will be equally
as great and then those who have
held on will reap the benefit.

A few days ago The Herald's tele-
graph column contained statement
from college professor that he be-
lieved the people should have rip
roarous time Sundays" The college
professor also wanted churches closed
for number Of years. It's too bad
that news associations give such a
man space to air his views. If the
it would be the ruination of American
institutions. The Herald is not sec
tartan paper and is not telling how
this or that person should live, but we
must say that if it were not for the
churches and their Sunday schools and
religious training children would grow
up in utter disregard for all decency.
Every church denomination, Catholic
and Protestant, are agencies of de-

Some members of the house want
to legislate on every thing under the
sun. A bill has been introduced limit
ing the hours of employment of tram
way employees to ten hours out of
twenty-four. AS consequence the
tramway men of Denver are up in
arms and have appointed committee
to wait on the legislature protesting
against the measure. At present the
hours of employees average only about
ten hours under present rules, but
many Of the runs make it necessary
to often put in ten TO eleven hours.
The men claim that under the pro-
posed law the hours would not aver
age over nine because they would have
to often knock off At eight hours or
