anyone to play with. II IL very likely
that with most children the imposition
of penalty in case of this kind will
have practically no value toward the
acquisition of "time sense" since
children generally look upon penalties
In the light of retribution for disobe-
dience, or for infractiOn Of laws, but
seldom connect them specifically with
their shortcomings leading to the mis-
conduct. To the analytical adult mind
the purpose suggests the connection,
but 20 the child's mind the connection
Is absent.
We are not all equally endowed with
the time sense" and in some persons
1t is cOnspicuOusly lacking But Il
great deal can be done to cultivate II
in the home. The most important ele-
ment In this training is regular daily
program, in which as much as possible
OF the routine finds fixed point.
Through this all the members of the
household should come to realization
of the responsibility of each to oh,
serve the program so far as 1t has to
do with the common activities of the
family. Being late should come to
mean an infringement upon the time

for delays, but we should not be made
to wait unnecessarily. This is the les

goOseberries. An examination Of such
bushes In the vicinity of white pine is,
therefore, essential In ascertaining the
extent of the disease and the probable
ity Of further infection.
From June l till the time the leaves
fall, the bushes should be searched for
the mealy yellow masses which, hardly
larger than a pinhead, may yet be so
abundant as to cover n large part of
the lower surface of the leaf. Later
in the fall the lower surface of the leaf
Is also marked by short, hairy out
growths.
1t Is known that the rust was brought
into this country in nursery stock from
Europe. Trees grown from such i'm
ported stock, therefore, are much more
likely to be infected than those raised
from seed in this country, for the rust
Is not transmitted in seed, but in nurs-
cry stock only. Owners of planted
trees, therefore, are urged to investl-
gate the history of their trees even
when they show no evidence Of infec-
ton. If 1t cannot be proved that the
trees were grown from seed in this
country, they should be watched close
ly and continually for dead tops and
side branches. II there Is any reason
to suspect the existence Of the rust,
arrangements can be made with the
department Of agriculture at Washing
ton for an inspection by experts. This
inspection is regarded as most nee
essary measure for the protection not
only of the owner of the individual
stand in question but for the protection
of every owner of white pine in the
neighborhood. The destruction Of In
fected stock is imperative If the spread
of the disease is to be checked.
Another precaution urged in the bull
letin already mentioned Is the require
ment, In purchasing trees, of guaran-
ty that they have been raised under
conditions which effectually have safe
guarded them from danger.

4 : | was leaving the house to
~ keep a dinner engagement "a
~ neighbor with her little boy
came along, the mother greatly
agitated and the child only slightly
perturbed.
The mother was speaking. "Now
you'll have to go to bed without sup
per, as you did last night l will not
have you coming home so late"
And the boy protested: Il didn't
know it was so late. | meant to come
home early"
The next day, when 1 met my neigh
Dor in calmer mood, she felt that
she had to explain the scene of the
previous evening. She always lets her
children go out unattended she eX-
poets them to learn how TO take care
Of themselves. And she Furnishes
them if they cone home late; she eX-
poets them thus To learn to know time
and the value of time.
There is no doubt that in the course
of months or of years those children
will learn to come home oetimes and
to keep engagements through the
method pursued by their mother. But
l wondered whether the same results
could not be attained without the irri-
tations and ill-feeling that this method
seemed to bring forth. The method
of rewards and punishments is the
most ancient one, and has produced
valuable results. But 1t is in many
ways crude as well as ancient, and 1t
is certainly not universally the best.
l asked the mother whether the child
had watch or any other means OF
knowing the time. mo-" she said; "he
Is too careless to have watch. Ii
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1916-08-11

he had one I'm sure he would forget
order in week.
"Is 1t fair" asked her, "to expect
the child to know what time it is when
he has no means of finding out? l
wonder how many adults, with all
their experience, would know that it
was time to stop when in the midst Of
some interesting pastime, If they had
no outward sign or warning?"
1t would seem that the burden Of
responsibility for supplying the infor-
nation or the means for getting it in
q matter of this kind should be as
sumed altogether by the parent.
Where there is no public clock in the
vicinity of the children's play, ar
engagements should be made for in
forming them of the passage CT time.
We should see to Ii that at least one
of the children in the group has a
watch, for children that are old
enough to play without supervision are
old enough to learn how to care for n
watch, as well as how to read the
time. They can also be taught to look
at the watch from time to time. until
they have learned to feel about how
much play they can accomplish in an
hour or in half an hour. Watches that
are sufficiently reliable for all ordinary
purposes are cheap enough nowadays,
so that every child should have the
advantage of owning one.
For the watch can be made q useful
instrument in the education of the
child AS soon as he is able to read
time he can become his own time
keeper. although some children learn
this much more easily than others.
Providing some positive means for
keeping track OF the passing minutes
is O much more satisfactory way of
teaching the child than letting him
founder about and then furnishing him
for his blunders. 1t is hard to imagine
the child having any feeling except
that of CALLING Injustice, on being de-
prived of his supper for doing the most
natural thing in the world-that is,
contlnninR to play so long as there is

Doc Whip for wrono poino.

The mother of General Gorgey,
Hungary, who has just passed away
at the age OF ninety-nine, brought up
her son on very Spartan principles.
Speaking Of her some time before
he died, the general said to one of
his friends:
II was a sickly child, and she con-
centrated upon me her maternal af-
lection with peculiar intensity. She
determined not to kill me by PAM
pering. One day, it seems, l swOon-
ed. Thereupon she laid me naked in
the snow outside the door, saying, IF
he is to die he will die, but If he is to
live 1t will make him strong / sur
vived and became strong.
I'm my seventh year 1 remember
her calling me one day and saying,
You are now old enough to know the
difference between right and wrong.
Here is Il pencil and a piece of paper.
When you do anything that you know
TO be wrong, make mark on the
paper. At the end of the week bring me
the paper. This / did and received as
many cuts with the dog whip as there
were marks on the paper"
Gorgey spoke with the utmost af-
lection of his mother.

a herd of 20 cows pay them excellent
returns has proven that this average
sized herd Is not bad investment.
One may correctly assume that II
these animals are placed In healthful
surroundings and given the best of at
tention the best results may be expect
ed of them. This may be accomplished
at very reasonable expense by the
construction of separate stable, which
will easily be paid for by the increased
returns made possible by the better ia
ciities for giving the herd the atten-
ton which modern practice indicates Is
necessary for successful dairying.
The particular building shown here
is SO feet I'm width and 81 feet In
length, exclusive of the feedroom and
silo. It's main interior is devoted en-
tirely to the housing of stock, 1t being
assumed that there are other buildings
on the farm devoted to the storage Of
roughage to be used in the dairy barn.
This stable has solid concrete
foundation with walls that extend up
two feet above ground level. II Is In

and more to the attention Of those who
have contributed to the rapid advance
of improved conditions in this business
during recent years. The new methods
have found basis for operation in al
most every community and the public
has been aroused to such a point that
the dairyman who does not follow the
trend of the times is very likely to
have a shrinking market for his prod
ucts. The days of the old tumble
down dairy barn have passed and the
modern structure must pass the ap-
prevail of the critical age In which 1t Is
erected.
One of the modern principles Is
shown in the tendency, in some parts
Of the country where farmers are do
ing special dairy work along sanitary
lines, to house the dairy cows In such
separate stable as is shown here.
The purpose Of this practice is to
eliminate the dirt and dust occasloned
by handling of feed or other material
from the air in the stable. Clean air
is as important as clean feed or clean
floors. This purpose is further aided
by the ease with which the problem
of ventilation may be solved when the
herd is kept in a building by itself.
The practice is an admirable one and
it should be given the hearty approval
of every man interested in improving
the conditions of his property. it may
be the thought of some that the ex-
pense involved in adding building for
the purpose Of housing a few dairy
cows Is not compensated for by the re-
turns from the business. This Is not
true in a great many cases, for the ex-
perience of many farmers, who, with
the help Of one man, are able to make

son that the child should learn first
of all in the matter of time and ap-
pointments.
But waiting and closing time" mean
nothing to the child until he has
learned to appreciate time for himself.
In this the watch as marker OF
time units Is of great value. We ap-
preciate time as the substance of life.
TO the child it means the enjoyment
of activities and sensations that are
marked, not only by intensity but also
by duration. To enjoy the games and
the reading and the dreaming Of
dreams Is to live. To be able to meas
ure the duration of these things, by not
ing from time to time the passing Of
an hour or two, is to learn the value
Of minutes In terms of how much life
the minutes can yield.
Penalties and reprOofs may direct
the child's attention to the fact tina
adults attach some significance to
time. But they will not teach him to
evaluate time for himself. For this
he must have guidance and assistance
of positive kind.

dPrepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
There is grave danger, say special
asts in the United States department of
agriculture, that all the white pine for
ests in the country may be seriously
injured by the spread Of the white pine
blister rust This disease is now
known to exist in New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York and Pennsylvania. Owners of
white pine in every state, however, are
urged to be on the lookout for it.
The disease has caused enormous
loss in Europe, whence it was brought
into the United States, and IL 1t Is not
controlled there is every reason to be-
lieve that 1t will cause proportionate
damage here. Trees which have been
attacked by 1t do not recover. The
younger ones die. In the case Of older
growth, parts only may be killed. but
in the course Of time the damage fire.
Quently becomes so extensive that the
tree, even If 1t still lives, Is worthless.
AS the value of white and sugar pine
In this country Is estimated at approx
mately $426,000,0O0, the Importance OF
checking the spread of the disease Is
obvious.
The white pine blister rust Is caused
by a fungus somewhat similar to the
fungi which are responsible for wheat
rust and cedar apple rust. This fungus
attacks pines that bear their needles in
punches of five each, n classification
which includes twelve native varieties
and nine imported ones. In addition to
these species, both wild and cultivated
currants and gooseberrles are not only
susceptible to the disease but are eS-
sential to it's spread. The complicated
part which these plants play in the dis
semination of the rust Is explained In a
new publication of the department.
Farmers Bulletin TAP.
In this bulletin, too, the Characters
tic symptoms of the disease are de-
scribed with illustrations. The easiest
for the ordinary tree owner to detect
are the irregular swellings in the bark
which may appear at any time from a
few months to six years after infec-
ton. In the spring the fruiting bodies
of the parasites thrust themselves
from within through the swollen bark
and form whitish blisters as large as
q child's finger nail. After few days
the blisters break and disclose bright
yellow dusty spores, which are blown
about by the wind. In order to per-
petuate themselves these spores must
alight on the leaves of currants or

straw for bedding. The straw Is let
down into the feedroOm between the
stable and the silO, there being no
and the storage room above. The only.
objection to keeping bedding in such
q storage room Is removed by having
1t dropped into this separate feed
room, the door into the stable being
closed, thus keeping out all dust which
may be stirred up In handling the ma
terial. The special construction Of the
floor overhead makes the sitting Of
dust down from the storage room very
slight, and the air in the stable Is
therefore kept In the best condition at
all times.
The chute used for the bedding Is
also used to drop silage from the diff
ferent silo doors as required. All out
side doors are hung with special roller
tracks, so they open and shut very
easily and fasten with heavy iron fas-
teners, which may be operated from
either the inside or outside. These de-
tails have very desirable effect Ia re,
ducing all possible waste of time and
energy In the maintenance Of the herd.
There have been great many de-
vices placed on the market during re-
cent years which aid the small dairy
man to carry on his business in the

the wall shall be waterproofed to keep
moisture away from the foundation.


Inside the foundation walls is
solid concrete floor which is laid off
with hangers at the sides Of the center
feeding alley, and cow-standing floors,
the front portions being on level with
the manger floors. The standing floors
slope from the center to the cutters.
The alleys behind the cutters are sew
eral inches lower than the standing
floors and are wide enough to make
room for the manure carriers which
run on overhead tracks. This arrange
ment is excellent for the cleaning of
the stalls, 1t being possible to put the
barn in good condition easily and
quickly with minimum of hand labor.
There are doors at each end of the
litter alleys, opening into the yard, so
that it is possible to have easy access
to the stable from any direction. The
litter carrier track may be carried out
at either end of the alley, but 1t Is
usually found to be most satisfactory
If carried out at the end near the silO,
thus leaving the other end of the struc-
ture clear.
