PRACTICE HOUSES
Home Economics Are Now
Taught by Object Lessons.
OUR GOVERNMENT SPEAKS.
just a. the Art Of Housekeeping Calls
For Aequaintanesship With Real
eroons and Stoves, So Does the
Larger Field Require Real Cottages.

Housekeeping cottages. In which the
students obtain actual practice In
household work. are n prominent Tea
ture OF current progress In home eco
Monies. according TO a report issued by
the department OF the interior through
the bureau OF education.
The practice house is as distinctly
legitimate part OF the equipment for
teaching home economics as the sew
ing machine, ironing board or individ
ual desk with its cooking utensils" de
clares the report.
Home economics departments In
schools and colleges are not all so for.
tunate as to have residences in which
TO instruct In home management ana
In housewifery. There has been some
hesitancy among school officers be.
cause of the initial expense OF a prac'
tice house. But as II Is recognized that
these houses are quite as necessary as
are good laboratories and that the
maintenance costs are not excessive
more departments are being thus sup
piled. These houses offer opportuni-
ties for experimental studies In house
hold administration, make practice IN
home furnishing possible and afford
excellent places for studies In nutri-
ton"
The report says that home economics
are now recognized course OF study In
all agricultural colleges to which wo-
men are admitted. Thirty-one state
universities offer regular courses In
home economies. and most OF the pri-
vate and denominational colleges and
universities now offer similar instruc-
ton. So important has the subject be
come in state public school systems
during the past two or three years that
now practically every state normal
school has course In home economies
| for prospective schoolteachers.
| Summer schools are coming to play
an especially important part In home
economies teaching. The bureau of ed
ucation received announcements from
1872 schools that were Offering courses
during the summer OF 1914; In 1915 the
number reporting had increased TO
$50, and still further increase is al.

ready assured for 1916
Twenty-three states report an outline
Of lessons IN home economics for state
wide use. A state manual OF study for
the public elementary schools OF Ala
bama contains an outline for lessons
In cooking and suggestions for the
teaching OF sewing In the grades, with
lists OF equipment and references for
domestic science teachers In the
grades. In California each county or
city board OF education prescribes Its
own course OF study In home econom
les. An outline for a course OF lessons
In home economies has been prepared
for the common schools of Illinois
This is made use Of particularly In the
rural schools. The domestic science
section OF the high school conference Of
Illinois has recently completed a com
prehensive outline for practical les

eighth grades.

the plant. A condition which does
not exist with soy beans. This Diff
ference in maturing habit is dis
tinctly in favor Of soy beans, in a.
much as the latter may he more
easily harvested for seed or hay
than cowpeas.
Most varieties Of soy beans grow
erect or nearly so: cowpeas are
lNllcy. and bear pods so near the
ground that IL is difficult to saw
seed by machinery.
Frost is less likely to iniure SOY
beans than cowpcls, which are kill
4 by light irN-'s.
Soy beans arc injured less by in
sect enemies and plant diseases than
c0wpeas.
FOR seed productions on clay soil
the soy bean is much more dcsir-
able than the rnWHca. Experiments
at the Delaware station shows that
sly beans will nfCtuco on the aver
rye. 10 bushels .ncrc seed per acre
than rowpeas.
There is little difference in the
value Of soy hcrt ard cowpeas e.
psowing under ',r -rccn manure.
There is loss loss of leaves in
andling SOY beans for hay than cow
ocaS If they are cut at the right
time. The loss of leaves on the Be-
rca Experiment Field was not con-
sdcred because the beans were cut
about ~ days after blooming.
Cowpeas are better adapted for
growing in corn intended for silagc
or for hogGing.
Soy beans crack less in threshing
than cowpeas. They are also
richer in protein and oil than cow
peas.
Soy bean stubble and roots leave
more organic matter in the soil
than cOwpeas.
On the Berea State Experiment
Field. we found on the roots Of one
stalk. % nitrogen nodules from the
size Of a wheat grain to the size of
a cherry
I would advise all farmers to try
both these crops and see just which
one proves better for him and his
purposes on his farm.

SOY BEANS COMPARED WITH
COWPEAS

Soy beans are very similar to
cowpeas with respect to season of
growth and cultural requirements.
Since the two crops occupy the
same place in crop rotation, it is
well to contrast their adaptability
for similar conditions
Soy beans mature uniformly, the
pods ripening practically at the
same time: cOwpeas often bear ripe
pods and blossoms on the same
plant, irregularities Of season will

Ancient Delphi.

Ancient Delphi was n small town In
Greece ON the southern slope Of Mount
Parnassus, where poets were supposed
10 draw their inspiration. The ancient
town got It's name from its founder
Delphus. son of Apollo. and there was
temple OF Apollo there. where prophe.
cies were made; hence the phrase Del
phian or Delphine oracles. A fountain
called the Castallan spring. supposed

side near Delphi A portion Of the site
Of the ancient town IL now occupied by
a village called Kastri. and interesting
excavations have been made there In

absorbent cotton on the end OF her
scrubbed finger. and as the child grows
older she brushes them. Nowadays all
the teeth OF all school children are
inspected. which will result In better

The biggest question now before
the farmer is Cooperation. How
can we ever be strong if we fail to
Cooperate? United we stand. divid-
ed we fall. We need strength-yet
we are the strongest people on
earth. Without us the nation
would perish. Since we are the
chief corner stones of this nation r.

be one great source Of power, in
nuence and helpfulness to each
other and the rest of the laboring

IT is reported that the United
States Senate Is shocked because
President Wilson has sent in the
name of Louis D. Brandeis for
confirmation as a judge of the
supreme court of the United States.
Mr.. Brandeis has shown himself
not only a great lawyer. but one
of the greatest thinkers in the
country today, and he thinks on
the side of the people . little bit
more than he does about the cor.
porations. For this reason the
United States Senate is shocked to
think that President Wilson has
appointed a judge to serve the
people and justice" instead of the
cor borations. When the Russian
Duma passes a law if the Gar does
not like it. he simply vetoes 1t and
that ends it. When the United
States Congress passes q law and
the president signs it. it becomes :
law; but the supreme court Of the
United States can declare the Law
unconstitutional If they choose 70
do so, so therefore. the supreme
court of the United States has the
same veto power in this county
that the car has in Russia; ana
for these reasons it is of the ut
most importance that only men Of
sterling patriotism be placed upon
the bench of the supreme court Of
the United States. The supreme
court is our Gear. Wall Street is
moving Heaven and Earth in its
efforts to prevent the confirmation
by the Senate. However, it is
believed that the name will be con-
firmed by the senate when it Is
voted upon because every United
States senator who votes against
confirmation stamps himself asa
servile tool Of corporation and an
enemy of social Justice.

THE question of preparedness is
now occupying the attention of ouE
lawmakers at Washington. This
preparedness is being brought be-
fore the people in two different
lights. President Wilson calls it
preparedness for peace" arguing
that if we are prepared to fight
other nations will fear to tackle us
and thus peace will be preserved.
while the anti-preparedness people
call it preparedness for war" and.
see our nation in a bloody con-
flict as soon as this preparedness is
complete. There is plenty Of ar
gument for both sides of this
question. However, we believe
that majority of Americans are
in favor Of certain amount of
preparedness, they simply differ as
to the amount and kind. The
writer believes that this prepared
ness should be for cost defence only
and should not be greater than is
really necessary to defend our sea-
port towns from possible attacts by
hostile war ships. Of course, sothe
tropedo boats, cruisers and battle
ships will be necessary, bat. to
build up large navy to be used
by the big corporations for the pur.
pose of collecting bills for munition
of war from the European powers
when the present war is over'would
be unjust to the masses. WeFhave
no need for large standing army.
We can see no great objections,
however, to giving citizens q
months training each year in the
science of war. It would he good
recreation for the citizetss What
participated and would make eff
Gent soldiers of them in case they
were needed to repel invasion.
