CREOSOTE ON THE FARh
Value Shown in Model Construct
ed for Uncle Sam. -
Its Use Decreases Waste Of Energy
Consumed in the Making Of Too
Frequent Repairs, ls the Claim
Made for This Material.

The use of creOsOte for lengthening
the period of service Of timbers on the
farm is illustrated in a small model
farm which has just been installed in
Uncle Sans forest products labOra-
tory, at Madison, Wis. This model
and similar one which is being used
for exhibit purposes by the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
were made by Dean A. Schweichard
who graduated this year from the
manual arts course Of the University
of Wisconsin.
The green fields and orchards sur
rounding the farm are inclOsed with
fences supported by fence posts with
well-creOsOted butts. Near the barn is
an Open-tank treating plant, a desir-
able addition to the equipment of any
farm. 1t consists Of one or more
strong makes which may be heated
either by. fire built beneath or by
steam coils If a steam boiler is avail
able. A wooden silO with creOsOted
slaves is also shown. In the local tele-
phone line which passes the farm the
poles are creOsOted from the butt to a
point well above the ground line.
The porch sills, steps and the tint
bers in the bridge across the creek
have also been treated with the Oil to
prevent decay which occurs most read
lily in such damp locations where there
is poor circulation of air. Even the
railroad which crosses one corner OF
the pasture shows a good penetration
Of creOsOte in the cross ties on which
the tracks are laid. The wood blocks
with which the barn is paved also
have their share of preservative treat
ment.
Although the effects of the creosote
treatments are at first sight incOnspic
uOus, yet they contribute to the we'll
kept appearance of the buildings and
grounds. The general air of thrift is
the result of efficient utilization which
decreases the waste of energy con.
sumed in making too frequent repairs

POPULARITY OF UKULELE
KEEPING HAWAIIANS BUSY
Manufacturers Can't Meet the Demand
for This Musical instrument in
United States.

The vogue of the Hawaiian ukulele
in the United States has resulted in
making the manufacture of that musi-
cal instrument one of the important
industries of the Hawaiian islands in
the past few months, says one of Un-
Gle Sans representatives in Honolu.
lu. At the end of August, 1915, manu-.
facturers were turning out about 500
or 600 instruments a month, while d
year later the output had been in
creased to 1900 a month and the de-
mand from United States music deal.
ers could not be met.
There are eight principal manufac-
turers of ukuleles in Honolulu, with
scattering of instruments coming
from small makers in the other
islands. Each manufacturer has
turned his small workshop into a fac
tory, adding new workers and increas-
ing the plant as rapidly as possible.
A company recently was organized in
Honolulu with plans to manufacture
from 1000 to 1000 ukuleles per month
with improved machinery, the work
ers to be Hawaiians and Portuguese.
The originator of the ukulele, a
Portuguese who is now head of man.
ufacturing company, is still an active
worker in his own factory, and turns
out about 700 instruments per month
Another Honolulu firm produces about
400 a month.
The Hawaiians and Portuguese OF
Hawaii claim that the instruments
made by them, especially of koa wood
are seasoned and properly prepared
The highest-priced products are heav
lily beaded. The tone is one of the
most important items in the construc
ton of the ukulele, and the Hawaiians
and Portuguese claim that this is OBJ
tanned only with the use of properly
seasoned koa wood and proper atten
ton paid to shaving the wood and fit
| ting it.
The plans of the new companies
| forming, and of old factories being en-
larged, will give an output close tt
5000 per month, or $4,000 per year.

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
How the Infant May Be Started in
the Ways Of Culture.
ART, LITERATURE AND MUSIC
Let the Child Know All He Can OF
These " You Would Refine His
Appreciation and Discover
His Capacity.
nx sIpoNIE N. eRUENsERo.

BY SIDONiE W. ShOGNS-"
COME time during the last century
y parents with sOlicitude for the high
er life of their children, and with the
means to give the children fuller op-
portunities, discovered that training
in the "arts" would add both to the en-
jOyment of life and to the esteem OF
their fellows. But in providing the In
struction in music or painting they had
resort to musicians and painters. And
these specialists In art taught the chill
dren from the point Of view Of training
specialized performers, which most OF
the children were never going to be-
come. The result was In most cases
rather superficial accomplishment,
which had, indeed, its social value, but
which meant very little either as per-
formance or as enrichment of life.
Several things have happened to
make us change our attitude In these
matters. With all the bad performing,
extending to ever larger circles Of our
population, there came more critical
recognition of the real quality of our
vulgartzed playing and painting. There
came also, quite incidentally as it
were, a growing appreciation of the
arts-the mechanical reproduction Of
good music and of good pictures being
very largely responsible for this, in
making accessible to almost every per-
son the opportunity to hear and see the
best as well as the tawdry. Moreover,
our thinking about the development Of
the mental and emotional life, as prob
lens in education and training, has
brought us to realization Of the more
valuable part of the child's contact
with art forms.
We are thus in a position to look
upon the arts in the life of the child
in terms of enlarging the child's life,
and not in terms Of perform
ing for the approval or admiration
Of others. And we are in a position to
think of the training from the profes-
siOnal side. If then we still place be-
fore the child the clay or the paint
brush, the piano or the violin, 1t is not
so much in the hope of making name
for the family. Rather is it in the ex-
pectation that the child may thus be
enabled to find himself, that he may
acquire further means of expression
that he may add to his enjoyment OF
life through acquaintance with the
emotional resources of the various
arts. For most children, that is, the
study of music and drawing should be
not primarily for the purpose Of cult
waiting technical proficiency, but fol
the purpose Of cultivating deeper ap
precautions through an understanding
of form, design, etc. This is quite the
same as our teaching of literature tC
children. Some of them may become
creative artists-and this often in spite
of the schooling-but for most children
we hope merely to increase and to re
fine the appreciation of good litera
ture.
Both for the purpose of refining the
appreciation and for the purpose Oi

BREAD COSTS HALF BILLION
Huge Sum Spent Annually in United
States for Staff of Life and 9th
er Bakery Supplies.

The people of the United States
spend approximately half billion dol
lars for bread and other bakery sup
plies every year in addition to the
cost of that which is made at home.
The value of the bread, biscuit, crack
ers and other bakery supplies made in
the United States in 1914 was $491,- :
S93,OOO an increase of 23.9 per cent
as compared with the output in 1909.
These figures, taken from the census
of 1914, have just been made public
by Uncle, Sam.
According to the census figures
there were 25,963 establishments de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
Of bread and other bakery supplies
and these establishments gave employ
ment to 1852 persons in 1914. The
capital invested in the business in
1914 amounted to $271, ,262,0OO, an in
crease of 27.4 per cent as compared
with the amount invested in 1909.

What matters If the prison Is over

TO the casual visitor from the
States the habits and customs Of these
lowly people are strange, but fasci-

shall say that they are the less happy

Peon Is Always Peon.
The Mexican peOn knows that he Is
born to serve, as did the old southern
darky, and caste or class distinction Is
emphasized on all occasions. The
mOzo rides silently behind the lordly
caballero; the peOn woman steps into
the street and bows her head as the
padre passes; in the plaza on Sunday
evenings, when the melody Of martial
music fills the air, the upper classes
parade in one direction, while the
poems gyrate as an outer ring in the
opposite direction. AS a class they
are Industrious and skillful If the time
element Is eliminated.

productive they still use oxen and the
wooden plOw share, and the fields are
fenced with imperishable dry-rock
walls. In the making Of pottery and
basketry they excel; in tanning hides
saddlery and the working Of metals
they are inimitable. The women, too

discovering the child's capacities we
should provide as many points of con-
tact with art expression as we can pos
sibly command. If you provide piano
lessons for your child, even though
you do so just because everybody is
doing 1t, 1t is well. If you provide
dancing lessons, or singing, or paint
ing, it is well. If you provide two or
three or four opportunities, it is still
better. But how can we afford all
these things for every child, and how
can the child possibly get the time for
all these various lessons? If we at
tempted to add these special lessons
to the full day, we should be attempt

taste. This requires an effort, but is
worth what 1t costs. Unless we have
well-developed tastes and standards
ourselves we are very easily imposed
upon by the fashions" and by the
tendency to initiate, often unconscious
ly, those for whom we have some re-
gard. If we devote some thought to
the children's dress and to the way
our rooms are furnished, we shall be
carrying on an education in art. This
does not mean that we must buy only
the expensive or the fashionable. 1t
means taking the trouble to find out
what is best. 1t is possible to get
cheap reproductions Of the best pic
lures, just as we can get cheap edi-
tions of the worlds best books. In the
matter of pictures, it is we'll to have
before the child only a few at time,
and to change them at intervals. For
this purpose frames with removable
backs may be used, or screen made
of burlap stretched on a wooden
frame. Let us remember that the
younger children are likely to see very
little in a black-and-white picture un-
til after colored pictures have made
them familiar with seeing the world
in fiat surface.
We must do what we can to expand
the child's horizon by visits to the
museums, by providing opportunities
to see and hear the best that the hu-
man spirit has brought forth. But we
must not overlook the fact that the
most continuous and the most impress
sive molders of his tastes lie in the
immediate surroundings-hi clothes
and his furniture-his books and bis
conversation, and his opportunities to
express himself through his own &C
tivities.
