To the ordinary mortal. blessed with

nuptials in the palmy days when po-
lygamy fourished like the bay tree.
was the subject Of much speculation.
There were those who had thought
men might get calloused as q target
OF rice and old shoes There were
those who had heard tales Of long
distance feats on the part Of pioneer
pedestrians and who could see how
easily Brigham. steeled by habit, could
continue to essay the Tong, long walk
with few qualms as to his completion
Of the round trip from the church
door to the altar. There were a few,
long used to the intrcacies Of high
finance who could conjure up pictures
OF men 80 wealthy they could afford
to pay for flowers for nineteen wives
and nineteen wedding days. To these
same persons 1t was regarded as alto
gether likely that such financial giants
could meet the bills Of nineteen tail
ors, producing nineteen outfits Of we'd
ding clothing. But there imagination
stopped. The spectators could not
picture genius with the superman
qualifications necessary to meet the
bills OF nineteen honeymoon trips.
They voted polygamy impossible! But
the death of the last OF the widows es-
tablishes the fact that polygamy was
very much possible for the long la
mented Brigham, whose last widow Is
being laid away thirty-eight years aft
er his own demise. 1t develops that
the Mormon leader not only footed the
bills of nineteen weddings, but laid
aside 100000 as trust fund for his
many wives. Therein lies, perhaps
moral For the homogeneous man, pre-
pared to shuttle of this mortal coil,
there is little pleasing in the work Of
making will that assures an equal
division of worldly holdings among the
faithful nineteen. The mere getting
down of the directory Of wives, to
make certain all will be listed, is a
task in itself The arrangement of
the cemetery plot, SO that each wife
Will hold similarly important grave
In relation to the husband, creates a
distinct engineering problem and ono
that makes restless the few moments
before passing down into the valley.
And when ais said and done, there's
a world OF shadows awaiting, where
q new fight will have to be made for
space for more wives than the law
allows. Perhaps Brigham's niche IN
that other world Is large enough to
accommodate himself and his faithful
nineteen, but in thu mind Of the one
wife man there persists a fear of
crowding.

His discovery Is simply sprinkling
the surface of the silage with two or
three buckets of water once day. In
connection with this precaution Mr..
Graham takes out two feelings OF si-
lage at a time: that is. when the ST.
lage Is taken out for evening meal the
car or other silage container II again
filled for the morning meal.
The next morning two or three buck.
ats Of water are sprinkled over the si.
1age in the silo to reduce the tempera.
ture. thus preventing overheatinE and
spelling of the silage.
BY this simple plan Mr.. Graham has
successfully fed as few a. thirteen
head of cattle from his oblonE silo
11x17 feet. during the hottest summer
months.
In June and July 1913. only thirty
six inches depth of silage was fed In
thirty days. and the silage thus handled
remained In good condition for safe
feeding thruout that period.
Mr.. Graham Is careful. when remov-
ing the silage. to loosen up only to the
depth required for tho days feeding.
thus keeping the surface hard and level
BY taking advantage of this plan, 81
los ten feet in diameter can be safely
used for feeding herds as small - six
or eight cows, even In midsummer.

to point to a single amazing and conclusive fact: To
the best OF our knowledge and belief the Paige in

one million dollars worth were sold at the New York

Kansas City Minneapolis and Baltimore Shows added
another million to the amazing Paige sales.
The reason is fundamental though the record is UNIQUE

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.
One-teacher Schools Cannot
Give Children Proper Form
of Training Says Supt.
Swearingen.

The one-room, one teacher school
| is lacking in spirit as we'll as in the
subject matter of it's course of
study. Unless the topography OF
the country is unusual, boys and
girls may easily walk two and one
half to three miles to school. In
thickly settled communities an en-
rollment of 100 or 200 pupils is thus
made posi- BILE. Schools are located
from four to six miles apart, and
after furnishing the necessary rudi-
ments of classroom instruction,
they may easily undertake the teach
ing industrial subjects.
To do this industrial work with
out an adequate teaching force is
out of the question, hence instruc,
ton in sewing, cooking, carpentry,
agriculture, and other industrial
branches has been successfully at
tempted only in our consolidated
schools.
In cooperation with the farm
d.monstra ION agents, rotation
plots of three acres have been
planted in nearly $50 districts.
The fundamental methods of farm
ing, legumes, foodstuffs, soil build
ing, and proft-making have been
concretely illustrated: Teachers
have co-operated actively in the ex'
pertinent. This direct application
of improved methods to the funda-
mental industrial problems of the
neighborhood has strengthened the
schools by teaching the pupils 10
discover and to receive an educa-
ton in common things.
| A special teacher in agriculture
was employed in five consolidated
schools of Darlington County. Only
boys above the fifth grade were en-
rolled in his classes. The subject
was given a place in the daily
curriculum of the classroom. One
hundred and fifteen boys were
under instruction. The course bore
directly on the agricultural and
home problems of the county. The
teacher was paid "a salary of $4,000.
His one-year course represents a
per capita outlay of S2l.73. Since
the agricultural 1eacher is resident
of the county, his supervision and
instruction continue during the va
cation months.
The best test of the work is
found in the universal appreciation
of the course by pupils, teachers,
and patrons. Other schools in the
county are planning to consolidate
in. the hope of securing similar adj
vantages next year. BY adding
$4,000 to the annual school
budget, this progressive county
might easily provide agricultural
teaching for all her boys above the
fifth grade could not properly be
undertaken because. the mechanics
of an education-reading, writing,
arithmetic and language, have not
been sufficiently mastered before the
fifth grade has been completed. II
this process continues, it will not
be many years before this great
country can boast of the discontin-
uance of every one-teacher school.
But the accompanying improve.
ments in teaching force, length of
session, longer recitations, broader
curriculum, and agricultural in
struction adapted to local needs
will mark the real and insignificant
gains.-J. E. Swearingen, in Pro
gressive Farmer.
