Clan Education In China.

Washington, Aug. 3. In the abb
sence of adequate funds and awaiting
itself Of the clan spirit Of the Chinese
people the ministry Of education pro-
poses to encourage clan education.
During the old fashioned literary ex.
animation period every tribe or clan in
the interior had its own family or clan
school for the education of the chill
drcn of the whole clan. But with the
advent Of the modern school system,
which was entirely managed by the
local officials and city gentry, such
clan schools have gradually declined
in number.
The minister's idea is to encourage
the wealthy members of the clan to
open modern primary schools to take
the place Of the official schools, which
are mostly impoverished. If circum-
stances so necessitate the members Of
the clan may arrange to support joint
ly a primary school Of the clan.

a roomy pen or paddock entirely away

other hogs are around a boar may
easily become excited on a very hot
day and be lost as a result.

the boar has a cool place to lie and
will always be clean. This is Il far
better means of keeping him cool than
to permit him to wallow in foul mud
holes about the yard, as is often the
practice. He is liable to get rheuma-

Potatoes Under Straw.

One rather unusual Way OF growing
potatoes Is to lay the seed on the pre-
pared soil and cover with stray to a
depth that will keep the seed moist.
The potatoes develop just as they
would ii planted in the ground, and the
tubers are formed above ground and
under the straw. The roots strike
down into the moist soil. and the tops
climb above the straw layer. This
mode Of raising potatoes has been prac-
ticed by farmers for at least twenty
five years. The drawback is that pos
sibly the straw might catch fire and
burn up the possibilities of a crop.
Also he process is profitable only when
ono has "a large amount Of straw that

TRAIN YOUR TALENTS.

You meet in every walk Of life per-
son who might have been a source of
pleasure and joy to many had their
talents only been trained, but now they
are nonentities, not only in the eyes of
others, but in their own eyes, which is
even worse.
Talents are given us to train. \ Ger.
tain Biblical parable tells us of three
servants who We're intrusted with the
talents of their master. Two of them
worked until the talents they had were
doubled, but the third made no attempt
to improve his talent. The master on
his return praised the industrious
servants and added to their talents,
but the slothful servant was punished
and his single talent was taken away
from him. The parable ends by telling
us that unto him that hath shall be
given, but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which
he hath.
The parable is particularly applicable
to present times when so many splen-
did talents are allowed to lie idle, un-
developed and un~increased. Ii each
n Of us who possesses some gift of
this kind could only be made to realize
how much good we could do if our gift
were improved and perfected. perhaps
there would he fewer ''slothful serv-
ants among us.
Talent. perfected and used toward a
good end, is power. Why not make
use Of this power, then. that is ours.
merely for the training Of our talents?
This does not NEAR that we all should
exhibit II talents professionally be-
fore large audiences. TO be sure. the
field Of the professional is much larger;
he influences bigger numbers. But we

medium of the home those who would

Is contained in ashes should be mixed

part of the nitrogen in the manure

Ashes and dry hen I'M may be
mixed Immediately before applying the

be absorbed and held by the soil.
The proper material to mix with

Navy pesertions Decrease.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Statistics CON-
piled by the navy department Of the
assertions from the navy show a
marked decrease since the system was
inaugurated Of putting deserters and
leave breakers on parole instead Of
sending them to jail.
During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1915, there was an average of 21O
assertions a month. Admiral Fletcher
has notified the secretary that during
April, 1915, Of the $4,000 men in the
navy only sixty deserted from the At
lantic fleet. Returns have not yet
been received from the Pacific and
Asiatic squadrons, but Mr.. Daniels
said that it was safe to predict that the
number would be a great deal less than
in former years.

THE HEssIAN FLY.
Do Not Burn Wheat StubbIe or Straw
to Destroy Il,

Do Not Burn Wheat StubbIe or Straw
to Destroy It.
Prepared by Kansas State Agricultural
college.1
Don't burn your wheat stubble or
straw stacks this summe for the pur-
pose of destroying the Hessian fly. The
burning Of the stubble or wheat straw
In the stacks not only fails to destroy
the fly. but will lead to the destruction
of organic matter and plant food.
The Hessian fly would not be eradi-
Gated by burning because the fly passes
it's resting stage in the summer not
only in the straw and stubble above
ground. but also in the crown of the
plant, so low that it could not be de-
stroyed by burning. The parasite which
preys upon the Hessian fly passes the
summer in the fly located in the straw
and the stubble above the ground. If
the wheatields are burned the parasite
preying on the fly will be killed.
There is no danger of increasing the
injury from the Hessian fly by spread
ing straw as a top dressing upon the
field. The top dressing Of straw upon
the field does not furnish winter pro-
lection to the fly. Wheat which has
been infested with the jointworm and
the greater wheat strawworm in large
numbers should not be spread on the
field. These insects make their pres
ence known by the large number Of
white heads in the field. If there was
a large number Of white heads of
wheat in your field do not spread straw
on the field. This infested straw, how
ever, may be used as a top dressing on
corn ground IL the straw be worked
into the ground early in the spring.
The best method Of controlling the
Hessian fly IS to prevent the growth Of
volunteer wheat in summer and fall
and to delay the seeding OF the wheat
until most Of the flies have deposited
their eggs. The best method Of handling
wheat ground is to disk the stubble
as quickly as possible after harvest
and to pillow the ground deep after the
volunteer wheat starts.

Work mares will raise most of our

ton is unnecessary to accomplish these
ends. In some states it is held that the
state banks may enter the reserve sys-
TEN without special legislation; in 9TH
crs that national banks may act as
trustees. ETC., without violation of any
state law.
Great interest has been taken in the
development Of the states attitude to-
ward these questions, for much will
depend on this. If courts and law Off
GERS had put obstacles in the way of
establishing the needed parity of pow
ers in these regards between different

generally been indisposed to remove
these difficulties the upifcation Of the
banking system might have been post
