TRAINING RULES FOR YOUTHS
oId.FashIoned Movements supplanted
by Program Of Hyglenlc and
Corrective Exercises.

Notable among the achievements Of
the board Of education Of New York
city has been the Introduction Of the
new course Of study In physical train
ing for boys. This supplants the old
fashioned one-two-three movements
with q consistent program Of educa-
tional hygienic and corrective exer-
cises. New boylike athletic move
ments are brought into the gymna-
Sums and the boys engage in course
of moderate athletic training. includ-
ing hygiene, which Is the basis Of all
athletics. Thus natural enthusiasms
are utilized for constructive school
purposes.
The 10000 boys who assembled last
June In Central Park to exhibit physi-
cal training work were given the fol.
lowing set OF training rules:
Go to bed at nine o'clock after a
thorough wash and cold splash over
chest and trunk; teeth and gums well
scrubbed. Clothes. and books ready
for tomorrow.
Bedroom windows open top and bot
tom.
Rise not a minute later than seven
o'clock. Go through two,minute drill
and hygienic exercises for demonstra
tion. Clean face and neck and scrut
hands. Finish up with big cold
splssh and hard rub all over. See
that feet and legs are clean and rut
them hard to get them into condi
ton. Brush teeth and gums thor
oughly.
Breakfast and all meals:
No coffee. No tea. Drink milk, {
little at time. Chew all foods to {
pulp. Ask your teacher what food
| to avoid.
No smoking. Cut out all habits yo,
know are bad.
Exercise in the fresh air, equivalen
to slow mile run a day. Walk tel
miles a week. II you lose weight yo'
lose vitality; stop work.
Before school look yourself over
Am ! clean from head to toe? Ar
all my clothes clean and in order dow
to the skin? Do stand like an ath
lete?"
The boy has no use for hygiene, bu
he has for athletics, and the schoo
interested in hygiene makes use o
this fact to gain its end.

but by others who are reckless to the
point OF seeming to delight in taking
chances.
Many kinds OF oils have been used
for spraying insect pests. some OF
which have proved reliable and others
injurious. Kerosene oil can be used
on some plants under certain condi.
tions without causing injury. while In
other cases It will kill them. We have
seen quite a few shade trees killed
by spraying with kerosene and water
to exterminate woolly aphis; the oil
soaked sinto the bark, reached the
cambium and sapwood, destroying the
tissue.
Gas oil, a heavy oil used in the
manufacture OF water gas, is very In

Ordinary house paint has some
times been used on smooth-bark trees
with great injury.
Occasionally commercial oils used
for spraying fruit trees for the Sar
Jose scale cause local injury, and
some shade trees have been known tC
be affected by their use.
Oils and other materials to keel
down the dust In roadbeds are nov
much In use, and we have observed
some injury from this source. wher
the trees were located close to thu
highway and the buttresses Of thu
roots were exposed.
Salt used on sidewalks, in gutter
and trolley lines in winter has beef
known to injure the root systems o
trees. Arsenate OF soda, potassium
cyanide and other chemicals are ex
tremely poisonous to trees and vii
cause death.

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Task Of Keeping Him From Herd 10
Rather lahorious, But II 10 by
Far the Best Method.

The best hog raisers do not per-
NIT the boar to run with the herd.
There are reasons why this should
not be done. II one is to control the
time Of farrowing and the use of the
boar it can only be done when he is
kept by himself.
Il Is a too common practice to sell
the boar when the season is over rath-
er than keep him for future use, de-
pending upon getting another young
one. This is a ruinous practice and
is largely responsible for small lit.
ters and weak bone. Get good boar
and keep him for few years. Ma.
turity is good for him.
Have a small yard with grass, II
possible, hog tight and away from the
sows, SO he will not be worried. A
quarter-acre. with a good house and
shade will afford ample exercise in
the open air. When grass is not avail
able in his lot, give him cut green
stuff daily as long as 1t lasts. Feed
sparingly Of fattening foods and sup
ply plenty to keep him in good trim
and growing If not fully developed
Mill stuff, SKINNED milk, clover, al
falfa-anything that furnishes protein
is advisable. OF course, supply ashes
salt and charcoal.
This keeping the boar away from
the herd is more trouble than lettini
him run, but It is the only way Il
know Just what you are about in hoi
| raising.

Assuming that one man and three
horses with six-foot binder can cut
16 acres In ten hours. we deduce that
cost OF labor per acre is 30 cents.
As against these items let US sup
pose that the farmer could hire the
grain cut for one dollar per acre.
The above data gives us the conclu.
sion. by elementary algebra that a
man should cut an average OF 65 acres

FISHERWOMAN WINS FIGHT IN
SQUATTER CLAIM

Mrs. Drusilla Carr, a 60-year-old
fisherwoman, who squatted on the
shores of Lake Michigan near mouth
of the Little Calumet river forty years
ago, has finally won the land which
has been her home. 1t is said to be
worth almost a million. .
Mrs. Carr got the land for prac-
tically nothing many years ago and
lived in peace upon the sale of fish
until the United States Steel Co. de-
cided on Gary as the site of an
enormous plant.
Gary sprang up and the price of
surrounding land scared. Mrs. Cars
157-acre tract became very valuable.
Then many claimants for rights to
the tract which had never ben dis
puted in the forty years she lived
there appeared. Strangely, the at
torney for the United States Steel
Co prosecuted some of these claims
against her. Their steel plant mean
while had grown to her site.
A dozen claimants appeared, all of
them wealthy, and Mrs. Carr had
trouble in holding her strip of sand.
She obtained a decision in the super
ior court of Laporte county and the
case was taken to the appellate
court of Indiana. Yesterday she won
there.
