j Green Manuring Crops.

4 A large number Of crops are used
for green manuring. Among the
leguminous crops are sweet clover,
alfalfa, COW peas and soy beans.
They are all very efficient, and the
one to use is the one that will grow
best In the locality. Cow peas or
soy beans may be planted after the
grain crop has been harvested.
These crops should be turned under
in the fall, when in a succulent con

SECULAR EDUCATION

fest injustice of compelling all class
es to support a public institution de-
signed to inculcate the doctrines of
one class has always tended to en-
gender sectarian animosities and to
/ antagonize social elements that other
wise would be harmonious. Wher-
ever the experiment has been tried,
there has been either open or smoth-
cred rebellion. And all this flows from
that principle the founders Of the ma
ton considered so Fundamentally
principle that Che church and state
must never be united, and that public
administration must be secular.
In this regard, Idaho is far in adj
vance of New York Our state con-
stitution is so clear and explicit in
its provisions as to leave no oppor-
tunity for doubt or misconstruction
If such provision were inserted
in the constitution of every state,
and followed without quitble or at

The New York Sun gives an &C
count of recent strike among the
eighth grade pupils in one of the New
York City schools. 1t seems that the
population of the district is FREEDOM
inantly Jewish, and the Jewish chill
dren refuse to sing some of the songs
prescribed for the musical exercises
on the ground that the sentiment ex-
pressed by the songs is not in accord
ance with their beliefs.
They stubbornly refuse to sing "St
Georges Chapel" "The Battle Hymn
of the Republic, or any other song
that gives expression to gentle
faith. They also refuse to join in
the religious exercises of the school.
1t is strike of silence and not of ac-
ton; the pupils merely sit or stand in
silence and refuse to participate in
the exercises.
The clash with the authorities was
decisive. Nothing could be done eX-
cept to enforce rigid discipline by
expelling about rs per cent of the pu-
pills, or by yielding to the strikers.
The latter course was adopted. The
songs were dropped
from the exercises, and the reli-
gious program modified to meet the
exigencies of the case. 1t was
thought best by the school authorities
to pursue a moderate course rather
than to wreck the usefulness of the
public schools by any irrational at
,empt at breaking the infexible tenn

A DANGER OF SILOS.

A recent fatal accident in Ohio
calls attention to a danger to farmers
which cannot be too. widely circu-
lated. Since 1852 when the first
American silo al built by DIR. Man.
ley Miles. this method of preserving
forage for livestock has been gener-
ally adopted. Although the depart
ment of agriculture has frequently
called attention to the danger Of car
under certain conditions. no fatalities
have been reported heretofore.
On the morning of September 10,
four workmen on the farm of the
Athens. O., state hospital assembled
the ladder on the outside of a silo to
an open door about twelve feet from
the top and jumped down one after
another onto the Stage, the top OF
which was about. six f~eet.4below the
door. About five minutes after, two
other .workmen following them found
them unconscious Although a large
force of workn1en were immediately
summoned and the bodies Of the four
men removed at once through a
lower door, the physicians of the
hospital who were at once on the
ground were unable to reSuscitate any
OF the four men.
accumulated during the night, filling
the silo up to the level of the door
and forming a layer of carbon dioxld
gas six feet deep. Such accidents.
says the Journal of the American
Medical association, might easily be
repeated on any modern farm. Farm
ers must bear in mind this danger and
see to. 1t that silos are carefully VEN
tilated before being entered.

Peter Rabbit pricked up his long
ears and listened. Could it be, could
1t possibly be, that that dog was bark
ing on his trail? He certainly was
getting excited " something right
where Peter had been a little while
before, and Peter strongly suspected
that that something was the scent he
had left in his tracks when he was
there.
II believe it is." muttered Peter.
II certainly believe it is. I'll have a
little fun with that dog, and then
when I get tired I'll play a trick or
two OH him and 90 home to the dear
Old Briar Patch"
Now, Peter knew that he should
have been in the dear Old Rrier Patch
long. long before. Here is was broad
daylight and he was still IN the Green
Forest. He knew just what little
Mrs. Peter would say to him when he
did go home, and he knew that he
deserved it. The truth is Peter had
felt so good the night before and had
had SO much fun s%campering around
in the moonlight, which he dearly
loves. that he just hadn't realized
how late is was getting until quite
suddenly he had discovered that Mis-

Even then he had delayed starting for
the Old Brier Patch. II am SO late,
anyway. that 1t won't make any diff
ference If I'm a little later" he had
thought.
Now q dog had found his tracks
and he was likely to have to do some
running to keep a whole skin. The
thought didn't trouble him much. He
had hAAr NhnanS 80 @ptn,, h., Dcxrr0A~
the Hound that he looked on 1t as a
game. To be sure, this dog wasn't
Bowser the Hound. He knew that by
his voice. But he didn't care. He felt
quite sure that he could foo n dog,
and If he couldn't why there was the
dear old Brier Patch. He could al
ways find safety in that.
So Peter a listening and not at all
frightened. He would wait until the
dog almost reached him, and then he
would lead that dog a merry chase
until he was tired, when he would
fool him and go home. Nearer ana
nearer came the dog, and Of course
the nearer he got the freshcr was the

they: were to follow. When the dog
was almost to him Peter darted away
with a saucy f1irt of his. long hind
legs. He was going to enjoy thai
morning run. The air was clear and
cool, just right for d lively run.
With a great and excited barking,
the dog was after him, and away they
went. Peter In front, lipperty-lipper-
ty.lipperty-lip, and the dog behind
doing his best to let everybody with
in a mile know that he was going to
catch Peter If he could. Everything
started off just as Peter has planned.
He ran this way and that way. He
ran in circles and criss-crossed his
own trail just to try the patience Of
the dog. and he laughed to himself as
he rested while the dog patiently
worked to follow his every twist and
turn. Then, when the dog was. almost
