corn Lessons for Country Schools.

Corn Lessons fof Country SCHOOLS.
For the benefit of children in ru-
raj schools suggestions for a series
of lessons ON corn are about to be
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The average
production per acre of corn in the
els, despite the fact that in almost
every section of the country yields
of more than 100 bushels have been
obtained. The difference indicates in
measure the value of proper in
struction in growing corn The
spread of boys corn clubs all over
the country has also emphasized the
need of corn study in rural schools.
The Forthcoming bulletin contains
outlines of 12 lessons covering such
important points as the different
kinds of corn, ways of judging corn,
seed, corn-crop rotation, best kind
of fertilizers, proper cultivation, and
the food value of the crop Sugges-
tions for the proper observance of
corn day have received consideration.
Rural-sclteol teachers, especially in
the great corn growing states, will
find the bulletin a valuable aid in
the work Of stimulating in their
charges a healthy interest in sound
agriculture.
This bulletin will be published un-
der the title of Farmers Bulletin No

copies will be sent free as long as

On this basis it is estimated that an

hundred million feet board measure
is assured so long as the timber can
be protected from forest fires. At

CHARACTER AN ASSET

The ~absconding Connellsville express

a good moral. He went off with $l3,-
900 OF the company's money, DESERVING
his faithful wife, but from all accounts
desiring to take with him another woman
Want was under bond for $500. In
the light of the facts the bond is ridicu.
lous. 1t will be found that other bonds
are no more commensurate in amount to
the volume of money and securities han
died 10y agents and messenger giving
them. The bonds are little protection to
the express company. After all employers
must rely upon the moral character of
their employees. Hence character is valu-
able. Young men should ponder over
this fact. Character is AN asset; it is a
handsome start in life. The wise man
keeps it untarnished. 1t is not only a
source OF great satisfaction to him, but It
Is invariably a source of actual revenue.
The ~absconding express agent will be
caught, of course, and without character
life will contain little for him. 1t pays
to be honest. Character is valuable
