EARLY VEGETABLES.
Everything Depends Upon the System
of 1ranspIantinQ.

Fully 30 per cent Of the people who
start little vegetable garden with |,
view to marketing their produce com
plain that they are unable to get q fair
price for their produce, says william
Galloway In Kimball's Dairy Farmer
The reason Is simple. Prices are re-u
lated by supply and demand
When the average grower takes his
cabbage, tomatoes and caulihower to
market he finds his neighbors are all
there with their produce too The
market Is overstocked. and prices In
consequence of competition are low
The man making big money today with
vegetables is the one who can get hi,
produce upon the market before hl,
neighbors. This Il so comparatively
easy that any one with the averaga
garden outfit can do It.
Buy your seeds early. Prepare your
hotbed and get them started Maybe
you have no botbed and perhaps do not
know how to prepare one. Let me tel
you. The best time to prepare hot
bed is about the beginning of March.
Get few loads OF fresh stable ma
nure, sufficient to cover the space you
intend to build your frame upon to a
depth OF not less than thirty inches.
pack down firmly, then place your
frame on the manure. The manure
should extend mt least a foot beyond
the sides of the frame. Cover the ma
nure Inside the frame with six inches
of sifted soil. The frame will then lie
ready for the seeding Hotbed sashes
Tor covering can be bought for about
10 cents each and will last for years
Now we come to the real secret oil
early vegetables. Everything depends
upon the system of transplantine
When the young plants are ready forI
prick them off into pots
or cans sufficiently large to allow of
good growth; have the tomato pots not
less than four inches across and the
cabbage and cauliiiower and similar
plants not less than three inches
across. This will give them a chance
to develop into fine, big. healthy plants
by planting out time. Before planting
out water well SO that the soul aud
plant can be turned out of the pots
without disturbing the soil around tel
roots. The best time 10 plant out Is
after sunset, as at that time the plants
get no setback and continue 10 grow as
theush never disturbed. II this plan
Is adopted vegetables fit for market
can be produced at least two or three
weeks earlier than when grown IN the
old way.

An Alfalfa Friend

Continued from page one
made a comprehensive study of
alfalfa seed situation and has it
sized up as follows: The north
eastern states are going into the
alfalfa growing and must have
hardy seed. but cannot produce
it themselves. The section that
can produce this seed most satis-
factorily is North Dakota. AS
he says this section has a 'cinch"
on alfalfa seed production. He
feels that the farmer ought to be
taking advantage of this oppor-
tunity, so that this big market in
the northeastern states can be
supplied with the seed that will
enable them to make success
in alfalfa growing.
Mr.. Bobb grows nothing but
the Grimm and advocates it. He
has found that it has stood up
under all kinds Of trials and is
the safest alfalfa to grow.
Many inquiries are coming to
the North Dakota Experiment
station in regard to where North
Dakota Grimm seed can be Sc
cured, which all points to the
fact that the Dakota seed has a|
good reputation and is being
looked for in all sections that
need a hardy alfalfa.

South Dakota and
the Milking Machine

Holstein Fresian World: The
agricultural college of South Da.
kota has been doing much under
the direction of Professor Larsen
to demonstrate the value am the
possibilities of the milking ma.
chine from the standpoint of q
practical farmer.
Professor Larsen has had in
active operation at the college
six milking machines of different
TYPES. These have been in use
for some time and the conclu.
sions that have been reached as
to the advisability of the maahine
are outlined in a general way in
another article.
Professor Larsen says: 1T is
now more than FIVE years since
we installed our first milking
machine. By adding more ma
chimes, | have gained additional
faith in mechanical milking. /
am sure that the man who keeps
cows that give a reasonably large
flow of milk will have no trouble
whatever with mechanical milk
ers if he has fair, sympathetic
understanding of the nature of
the cow and a working knowl.
edge of the milking machine,
and if further than this, he will
weed out the cows with poor nd.
ders and defective teats.
The milking machine age has
come. Personally, | would not
keep herd of dairy cows with
out a milking machine. but a
man cannot hook one of these
machines onto cows just as if he
were tapping that many barrels.
There is more to the mechanical
mixer than that"
These words from a man who
speaks as carefully as does Pro-
fessOr Lersen, from a man who
has given as close study to the
subject, and finally from a man
who is able to Judge the benefits
and the adaptability of a ma
chine of this kind. is worth a
great deal more 10 the dairy in
dustry, especially to the man who
is producing milk from a COM
standpoint.

NAL pupils here go through the course
Of studies arranged for the developing
child.
The very first lesson. which is given
for the purpose of tea ching concentra-
tion. is the whiting of a piece of
wood with knife. The child must
concentrate his attention upon what he
is doing or he will cut himself: so while
he is unconsciously learning concentra-
tion he is also developing mechanical
ability
The second lesson is more complex
than the first, and they proceed in
gradual series throughout the course.
more tools being used and more diff
cult models being produced. The nor
NAL students are encouraged to bring
better models to the attention of Mr..
solomon, and to avoid stereotypes. and
originality in thought and action is
encouraged. The studies in psychology
are carried on at the same time as the
handicraft is developed.
Sometimes Mr.. Solomon VIII call to
the pupils that he is going for a walk
and they accompany or not, as they
please. The majority accept the in
vitation. for the walks are part of the
education in this unique school. The
master talks, as he walks, of what he
sees and OF what he thinks. and as he
and the pupils Sit to rest discuss ons
are entered into, led by Mr. Solomon
These walks last for hours or for a
day. and sometimes extend to several
days. l look back upon my two years
at this school as among the brightest
and happiest and the most wisely spent
of any in my life, and | believe that
the other pupils who attended this
normal seminary do the same.

necessity of attention upon the work
keeps the mind gently occupied.
LAS a part of school training in Swe-
den weaving is considered valuable,
not only wholesome exercise, but
also as a means of training the mental
faculties In learning to weave the
girl has to figure out the exact amount
of yarn for warp and wool of given
fineness for the number of yards of a
certain breadth of material. with other
practical numerical problems. which is
a concrete mental exercise and prac-
teal application of arithmetic which a
girl will grasp better than abstract
figures. The selection of color combi-
nations and the relative proportions of
each color to other colors and their
maSsingS proportioned to color values
and the breadth of the web, are valua~
BILE in training the girls sense of har-
mony and balance and other esthetic
faculties.
There Is nothing more conducive to
mental and physical Vigor than the al
ternate exercise of mental and physical
faculties and powers. And in the men
tai exercise the intaking of information
is no more important than the express
sion of ideas through actually putting
them into concrete form. 1t is like in
breathing and outbreathing. If we
continually draw in breath without
breathing it out we will soon find that
breathing is not healthy exercise. So,
If we continually take into our minds
ideas from outside of ourselves with
out giving expression to ideas born
within ourselves our mental faculties
will become clogged.
TOO many objective lesson appli-
ances and too many illustrations and
effort-saving devices are being intro
duced into the schools of this country
today. The motion picture as part of
school life is merely another instance
of training the mental faculties of
children. Objective educational work
is not for the brains of healthy normal
children. and by the use of the effort
saving devices the normal child is de-
MED the muscular mental activity
necessary to the formation of a think
ing, working apparatus.
''Clogging the mental faculties is just
what Il believe our present day public
school system is doing for our chill
dren. We think that, because most of
them come out from our institutions
of learning with fairly bright mental
faculties and more or less unhealthy
bodies, all is WELL I believe that three
hours per day of the usual abstract
study courses. followed by two or three
hours of manual work. have been found
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-16

by such educational institutions as
have tried it, both in Europe and in the
United States, to have given pupils at
the end of the term as much knowledge
of every subject as under the entirely
International system.
Il believe that through the additional
mental vigor gained through the eXer-
else of constructive thinking, neces-
STATED by the manual work. the
students theoretic knowledge has been
more deeply impressed. Additional vo-
cational skill has been added as an eX-
ira asset, gained at the expense of
nothing else.
II feel sure that the high strung, ner-
vous American child would be benefited
by this related education of mind and
body. I do not think that normal
schools as rule study the psychology
of the child quite carefully enough.
The child mind is not ready for abstract
ideas; it grasps them much more read
lily if put in concrete form Every stage
in a childs life is new era in its de-
velopment. and these should be very
carefully studied and trained.
Take children of thirteen and four
teen; a new set of emotions then comes
into being. These should be utilized
for stimulating the aspirations and am
billions. Instead of these very valuable
aids being developed to stimulate the
dllouS ana H1DltlOnS, Iney are Icll
unobserved, neglected and thrust aside,
and the children set down to arithmetic
and mathematics. OF course all chill
dren are not alike. and boys and girls
are different, but at this age most of
them could leave the higher mathe-
mates for year or two.
This is the time to study the child
and follow the trend of his tastes and
inclinations for the determining of
vocation and the following of that
trend thenceforth steadily and scien-
tically. The other branches of the
school work can then be subsidiary to
this main branch to the close of the
school training.
my idea of perfect educational
system would in no way conflict with
or shorten the school curriculum, but
would combine manual training. mental
work and play. the three in well ball
anced proportion. and the results
would. I feel certain. insure not only
more alert mentality, but likewise
mentality of greater stamina. Those
who have become great in any chosen
line Of work have started at II early
and have kept to one main pursuit as
