There are events occurring in
every comm unity, which, if report
ed in local papers, would create a
commotion little dreamed of.
What 10 report and what not to
report often perplexes the editor
He is often justly accused Of cow
ardice and favoritism, when all the
time he is looking toward the good
reputation of the town where his
lot is cast. The local editor from
necessity almost constantly finds
himself between two fires and
whichever way he turns he is sure
to be un justly treated. This is
one of the pleasures of the news.

School Exhibit

| Is very Creditable
The school exhibit Wednesday
afternoon was attended by great
many parents and friends and was
considered a very creditable one.
The girls i'll the cooking school

served

flies that seemed to have lust
alighted.
The cuttings of the third grade,
illustrating various stories. were
most excellent free hand work
This display included also some
good number work.
A clever idea in the fourth grade
was a booklet entitled MY Stock
Show containing a collection of
pictures of animals, each with its
name underneath. The little folks
in this grade have pressed and
mounted Colorado wild flowers. an
acquaintance with the names of
which should be encouraged.
The various ideas brought out in
the water color reproduction of a
study in perspective and shadow
in the fifth grade were very inter-
esting.
Perhaps as profitable demon
stration as any was the collection
of maps OF the United States ar.
ranged by sixth grade pupils
They were large, and on each state
were pasted articles, to indicate
the industries and principal pro-
ducts, either attached directly, OF
in capsules as in case of flour. salt
etc, or in picture form as of cattle
! fish and the like.
The aprons made by the seventh
grade tempted one to ask How
much are these?', for they looked
SO useful.
The laundry bags and pillows Of
the eighth grade made tabl,
worthy of bazaar booth. Thei
samples, of arithmetic, gramma
work and such, indicated a crafty
ing thoroughness and definite aim
habits the acquiring of which are
a preparation for life fully as mucl
as is the learning of the facts il
these subjects.

A noticeable display was the
work of draughting class il

STUDY THE MARKET DEMANDS
Breeder Should Strive to Produce
Only Best Animals and Meet
Needs Of the Consumer.
(By 8. T. SIMPSON,

We must study the market de-
mands carefully and select good sires
of the types that will enable us to
meet them. If we find that the
butcher or packer likes an animal of
extreme beef type because that ami
NAL yields a high percentage of the
high-priced cuts, the sires must be
selected accordingly. If we find that
the horse buyer takes the big, drafty,
sound horse in preference to the
chunk when his order calls for horses
for heavy work, we must secure sires
that will get colts of that type. If we
ship or sell to n market which de-
mands bacon hogs, then the boar
should be the best obtainable individ-
ual of a bacon breed which is in good
demand in that market.
In any case we must strive to pro-
duce only the best animals and to be
sure that they are uniformly good
aEi thst there are among item no
misfits or Inferior specimens which
do not meet the consumers needs.

Too many lamb feeders are satis-
fed with anything just so 1t is n lamb.
Too many persons get the lamb-feed-
ing fever because some neighbor fed
lambs last winter and made big
money doing SO. There Is just as
much difference in the quality of
lambs for feeding us there is in cat

Is best to secure the aid of some
sheep expert to assist in the buying
Of lambs, as lot Of lambs well
bought are almost sure to be money
makers.
The fleece counts for something in
the profit, especially If lambs are held
and shOrn. There Is difference in
lambs in taking on flesh; there Is q
difference in the type and general up
pearance of sheep, of lambs, or live
stock in all departments of breeding
and feeding, and this difference
counts for or against the animals in
their sale as breeders or feeders. 1t
Is usually money made to buy the best
lambs to start on; they bring best re-
suits in the end.

PROTECT CLOVER FROM RAIN
Best Practice to Allow Crop to Become
Ripe as Possible-cut In Good,
Dry Weather.

An inferior grade Of clover seed Is
produced when the clover Is allowed
to lie in windrows in the field for sew
eral weeks before it is hulled. Vary
ing proportions Of the seeds become
brown and often actually lose all ger
minating powers.
The best practice is to allow the
clover to become as ripe as possible
without loss from shelling when the
seed Is harvested. Cut 1t in good, dry
weather and then protect it from ex-
posure to rains. Provided huller
can be procured at once, hulling direct
from the field will economize labor.
If it is necessary to delay the hull
ing, damage and loss to the seed crop
will be avoided by storing the clover
In barn or in carefully constructed
and well-covered stack.

Extravagant claims are sometimes
made regarding the influence Of nj
trate of soda upon the yield and earli-
ness of certain vegetable crops, par
ticularly those of which n vegetative
part constitutes the edible product.
The claims are especially emphatic in
reference to early-planted crops, since
much Of their growth must be made
Mt a time when conditions in the soil
are not favorable for rapid nitrificn-
ton; and the supplying of nitrogen in
n readily available form at such n
time would seem to promise good re-
suits. In view of these considerations
it was thought best to make some tests
with this material In the production
of vegetables on the brown silt loan
Of the corn belt. Accordingly n Sc
ries of tests was planned, including
eight kinds Of vegetables. viz. radish,
turnip, beet. onion, spinach. lettuce,
cabbage, and cauliflower. Top dress
ings of nitrate of soda were made to
the above-named vegetables. The ex-
pertinent was continued through six
years.
One plat received applications of
nitrate of soda at intervals of one
week, and another Mt intervals Of two
weeks. A third plat was left untreat-
ed as q check.
In the light Of the data secured in
connection with the nitrate Of soda ex-
periments the following conclusions
are warranted:

ditions attending these tests, nitrate
