FARMING WILL BE
TAUGHT TO DEAF
Work in New Course to Be In
augurated at Once at the
State School.
EXPERTS SEE VALUE IN PLAN
Believe instruction In Agriculture Will
Be Big Aid to the Inmates of
the DelaVan Institu-
ton

Madison.-Supt ii. {. Buell. of the
State School for the Deaf, which is
maintained by the state for the free
instruction of deaf and deaf-mutes,
IS taking definite steps toward the in-
PRODUCTION of practical instruction in
agriculture. it is announced here. Mr.
Buell. recently succeeded L. w. Walker
as superintendent of the school, the
latter becoming manager OF the Wis
consin Masonic home ut Dousman.
The school is surrounded by fruitful
farming country. A large tract which
has been used for pasturage, to the
north of the buildings has already
been broken with q view of charging
the gardening operations for the
school. Citizens of Delavan are en-
thusiastic for the new plan, and ex-
perts in the education Of the deaf be-
lieve that instruction In agriculture
will be the most valuable course which
this or any school for such unfortu-
mates can adopt. Agriculture is con-
sidered to be admirably adapted for
the future needs of the deaf.

NAV Devotion irish Coal Mines.

The idea that Ireland will never
become a mining country Of any ac-
count is not the view of the Newry
Urban council, which at their last meet
ing considered the proposals made by
the Irish Association of Gas Managers
at Dublin, in view Of the present con-
dltlon Of the Irish coal supply. If not
relieved, the gas managers said, the
smaller gas works must be shut down
and the government should be urged
to provide an adequate supply of coal
at reasonable rates. The Newrye coun-
Gil approved this opinion and passed a
special resolution to be presented 10
the British executive stating that the
time was 0pportune for the develop
ment Of the large and valuable coal
measures which undoubtedly exist in
ireland.

fore it has been cured according to the
prevailing custom. Although it is us
ual for some factories to close down

Lightning Causes Heavy Loss.

Great damage to barns IN Wisconsin
was wrought by lightning during the
month of September, according to re-
ports received by State Fire Marshal
NJ. ]. Cleary. A total of 50 barn losses
were reported for the month, with
losses aggregating $117,965 Not all Of
these were destroyed By lightning, but
IS losses occurred from this cause.
Ordinarily danger from lightning is
considered rather remote after the
three summer months are past. but the
heat prevailing during the early half
of the month this year led TO many
losses. 1t is also interesting to note
that Of these IS losses reported only
one occurred on property that was
rodded.
a total of 24O fires were reported.
This is less than One-half the losses
reported for August, when the total
reached the unusually high figure of
1895, 100. September losses in 1915
were S357 eco.
During the month just passed there
We're 20 fires from threshing engines,
entailing loss of S27,615. and 70
match fires. with a loss of $3.50. Fires
of unknown origin were 81 in number
and the losses S141, 345.

To LiUe Long!

A recipe given by a famous ply
elcian for long life was: Keep the
kidneys in good orderi Try to elimi-
nate through the skin and intestlnes
the poisons that otherwise clog the kid
neys. Avoid eating meat as much as
possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol,
tea. Drink plenty of water.
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or If uric acid In the blood has caused
rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce OF In
vallds' Hotel, Buffalo. n. Y. If your
druggist does not keep it send 10 cents
TO DIR. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is thirty-seven times
more potent than lithia and that it dis
solves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

Want Hens in English Parks.

In the hope of saving a large part
OF the S400O0,000 spent every year for
foreign eggs, an agitation is on foot
to throw open London parks for poul-
try breeding. The scheme is receiving
serious consideration from the authorl-
ties because II is one of the latest war
time economies suggested on a large
scale. The promoters of the idea have
asked for part of one park to start
with. The plan provides for a site
of about three ncres and accommoda-
ton for coo hens. The leading poul-
try breeders Of the country will be In
vited TO send six selected fowls OF the
same breed and strain. Scientific feed
ing tests are to be made. All the egEs
will so to the wounded soldiers, and
prizes will be awarded TO the owners
of the hens laying the most eggs.
