RETAINING EFFICIENT TEACH
ERS A SERIOUS PR BLEM
Agricultural College Bulletin PoInts
Out Difficulties and Remedies FOR
This Condition In Country
Districts.

One OF the great problems, at pres
ent. is the retention of an efficient
agricultural teacher for any great
length Of time in our rural high
schools. This Is due to the great de.
mand for these men in other agricul-
tural pursuits and to the limited sup
ply of trained teachers. The problem
may be reduced by the employment Of
home teachers, by the adjustment Of
salaries, and by increasing the length
of the term of service.
The agricultural teacher should be
employed for the entire year in order
that he may render the greatest pos
sible service to the community. BY en-
ploying him for longer term his
position will be on an equal footing
with other agricultural callings, thus
reducing the chance Of losing his serv-
ices when he has become valuable to
the school and to the community.
It is as important to consider the
personality of the teachers as it is to
consider his college training. He
comes in closer touch with the life Of
the country community than any other
school official. He, through his ex-
emplary habits. ability to do things,
and general culture, must be able to
command the respect of the entire COM
munity. The boy in the school must
feel that his teacher knows of what he
speaks, and the parent must be salts
fed that the child is being directed by
one who is qualified to instill correct
ideals of farm life and it's possibilities

SHOCKED The JUSTICE.

Der OF the Supreme Court.
How the Justices of the United
States supreme court deal with any
attempt at an assault upon the conf
dences of the court was disclosed to
an indiscreet young woman who was
visiting ut the house of an associate
Justice of the court who had known
her since she was a child. She was
sitting at the tea table one afternoon
with the justice and his wife and. all
unconscious of any wrongdoing, began
to talk about case that was awaiting
the decision of the court.
The wife OF the justice exhibited as
much alarm and distress as though a
live dynamite bomb had been intro
5uced into the company, but she could
not catch her visitors eye and stop
her.
Il hope,' said the prattling visitor,
that you will decide it in favor OF, the
company, because If you don't the
price of the stock auntie left me will
go down
The justice froze stiff. He assumed
what his wife calls his prisoner at
the bar manner as he stood up. He
was as grave and as stern as could be-.
and he nearly scared the young wom-
an to death as he said:
MY dear child. you must never speak
on such a subject to me again. | am

The results which are given below
Prove that Mr.. Maxwell was not mis-
taken in his opinion regarding the
value Of knowing the production of
each COW in his herd.
At the end of the first year, It was
found that the average production OF
q herd of Is COWS was 5,052 pounds Of
milk. containing 214 pounds of butter
fiat. The cost of feed per COW amount
ed to SAUL There was a profit of
$41.85 above the cost of feed. For
every dollar expended for feed the
average cow made return in milk
amounting to $1.98.
The best COW in the herd, the first
year. yielded 5,988 pounds OF milk con-
tanning 268 pounds of butterfat, while
three COWS were sold as Improbable,
one making a yield Of only 2,610
pounds of milk.
During the first year, Mr. Maxwell
studied the records carefully, and
made plans to feed the herd for its
highest and most economical produc-
ton the next year. He found that the
production during the months of July
and August was very low, owing to
dry pastures and lack of green feed;
also that the effect Of short feed at
this time could not be overcome dur
ing the remainder of the lactation
period The second year green corn
was provided as supplement to dry
pastures. AS a result, the records
show that during The second year the
average cow produced T,142 pounds Of
milk containing 300 pounds of butter
fat; she consumed $47.S1 worth Of
feed, and made profit above the cost
feed amounting to $s9.76.
The highest producing cow in the
herd yielded $500 pounds of milk,
containing 406 pounds of butterfat.
Her feed cost 1892; and the profit
above the cost of feed was $115.72.
The following table gives a clear
idea OF the increased production, that
resulted when careful system Of
feeding was followed:

It frequently happens in Southern
Maryland that wheat does not yield
well, and experience inclines US to be-
lieve that winter oats could be profit
ably grown in its place. Winter oats
should be seeded in the fall. about the
first Of October and unless the season
is particularly unfayorable. we ought
to expect heavy crop of grain.

are proving most successful in Mary
