SAD SEATS CAUSE DEFORMiTY
Curvature of Spine and Round Shout.
ders Too Frequently Developed
in School.

As an outcome of medical inspection
in public schools, people are beginning
to appreciate the important part which
school seats play in the physical devel-
opment of the young, M. V. OShea
writes in the Mothers Magazine. The
statistics of deformities of growth have
been compiled in a number of Ameri-
can cities, and they are impressive. A
considerable proportion of school chill
dren are afflicted with curvature of the
spine. This difficulty becomes more
common as we go up the grades and
into the high school.
What is the relation of school seats
to curvature of the spine? Suppose
pupil during the growing period uses
for four or five hours each school day,
thirty-eight or forty weeks each year
for eight or twelve years, a desk which
is so high that in order to rest his arm
on it he lifts his shoulder, and so pulls
the spine out of correct alignment. Or
dinarily, the right shoulder will be
raised too high, and the left will be too
low. 1t is probable that any child who
maintains this posture in school year
after year will acquire some degree of
curvature. Even if no curvature re-
suits, there will be inequality in the
height of the shoulders, which will
prove a handicap to an individual in
later life.
Older pupils often use desks which
are too low. 1t is practically certain,
then, that they will bend over the
desks, and they will be in cramped
posture several hours each day. In
such position the lungs are construct.
ed, the shoulders are pressed forward
and the common round shoulder de-
velops most serious of all, the circula.
ton in the brain is interfered with
When children keep this posture IN
school day after day for years, they
are likely to become either neurotic or
dull.

COVERING FOR GRAPEvlNES
In Colder Sections of Country Artifi-
ciai Protection Should Be
Given In Winter.

In the colder sections of the country,
wherever varieties not hardy enough
to withstand severe winters are grown,
grapevines should be artistically pro-
tected. Under such circumstances the
vines should be pruned as soon as they
become dormant. The system of prun-
ing should be such as to easily admit
of laying down the stalk and canes for
next seasons fruit production. The
next step Is to cover these parts with
litter, leaves, or ealth in such way
rs to protect them from severe or re-
peated freezing and thawing and to
leave them covered until just before
the season for growth the following
spring.
There are several species of grapes,
each adapted to particular sections Of
the country, and each responds best
to a particular method of culture, prun-
ing and training.
The vine normally produces its fruit
on shoots of the current seasons
growth, which in turn grow from buds
developed the previous season. All
pruning must, therefore, be based on
this characteristic of the plant. After
determining the system of pruning best
suited to the conditions, species, and
variety the vine should be so handled,
during its early life, as to develop u
general framework of the type de-
sired,

ANIMALS
SMALL LITTERS FROM gifts
Time for Breeding Depends Largely on
Size, vigor and Age-LiabIe to
Pc Stunted.

The time for breed 1g gifts depends
upon their size and yigor as we'll as
their age. However, 1t Is seldom i'd
visable . breed a gilt before she Is
eight months old, and in many cases
ten or twelve months is better age.
What is gained by getting litter of
pigs soon may be lost n getting a
small litter. And If the Usefulness of
the SOW as brood sow be impaired
the total loss in the end overbalances
the gain In getting her to produce
early.
Too young gifts almost invariably
have small filters. Then their mann
mary organs do not develop right, and
this in turn affects the size of litter
they will raise next time. II sow
gives milk out of only six tcats she
cannot raise Il dozen good pigs. Also
too young sows cannot stand the strain
of nursing q litter They do not have
the vitality to produce large flow OF
milk and grow at the same time.
If a gilt is once really stunted in this
way she never develops as she other
wise would She is likely never to
raise such strong and vigorous litters
as she could If allowed more maturity
before breeding.

STRAW UTILIZED IN EUROPE
Made Quite PaIatable by Mixing With
eeets, Mangels, siIage and Other
Forage Crops.

In effect, recent bulletin of the
United States department of agricul-
ture asks why the American farmer
cannot put straw to the same use as
It is put by the European farmer. In
Europe the farmer knows as well as
the American farmer that straw is not
liked by stock, but instead of burning
it, or otherwise wasting it, the Euro
pean farmer chops it up, mixes it with
bects, mangels, silage or other feeds,
and makes it so palatable that 1t can
be fed to good advantage.
The report states that the bureau Of
crop estimates has found that Is per
cent of the straw produced in the
United States is burned. In many dis
tricts there are no cattle and remote
ness from suitable market makes the
sale of the straw Improbable. But in
such cases farmers would profit by an
investment in few cattle.

BUILT BY AMERICAN EXPERTS
Europe's Largest Dam, near TaIarn,
Spain, a Monument to United
States Engineering Skill.

The largest dam In Europe, situated
near the old fortified town of Talarn,
Spain, was recently completed by
American engineers and experts. 1t Is
constructed of concrete, and is $50
feet high, 700 feet long and 230 feet at
the base. gradually decreasing to IA
feet at the top. The Noguera Palla-
resa river flowed through the chasm
across which the dam Is built, and 1t
abuts on almost perpendicular cliffs.
The valley above the dam was
bought from the various landholders at
a cost Of nearly $1,O00OO0 and now,
filed with water, forms an artificial
lake 15h miles long and 3A miles
wide. The floodgates are so carefully
balanced that they open automatically
under the pressure of rise of one
inch Of water. The natural formation
Of the rock near the dam has been util-
lied to provide spillway with a ca
pacity of 10000 cubic feet of water a
second.
The dam has twofold object In the
production of electric power and use
In irrigation. The water that now
passes through the powerhouse yields
an electric current of 10000 horse pow
er. Later 1t will be increased to 10000
horse power. The water is carried by
a system of canals into an arid dis
trict, where 1t irrigates a surface Of
nearly one hundred square miles. A
great deal Of American-made machin-
cry was used in the construction work.

I-ithouraphy.

The first successful example of the
photographic art was produced l2O
years ago by Alloys Senefelder, Ba-
varian, who produced a piece of music
printed by this process. Senefelder
was composer, but he was too poor
to bear the cost of having his works
published. He then began to expert
ment with the hope of discovering
some cheap method by which he could
do the printing himself. The litho-
graphic process was suggested to him
by his having made for his mother a
memorandum of clothes to be sent to
the washerwoman. He carelessly wrote
this memorandum on a slab of stone,
intending to copy 1t. AS the stone lay
before him he thought of trying the
effect of applying printers ink to the
lines and thus take an impression. The
experiment led to others, and in 1876
Senefelder produced piece of music
from lines drawn in slight relief on
a slab of stone. The inventor obtained
a patent for his process In several OF
the German states, and lab0red to ex-
tend his art throughout Europe.
Everywhere it met with favor, espe-
cially In France.-New York Mail.

ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASE
Heaw "Swingfno Round the Circle"
Gained Its Place In Amerl-
can Politics.

"As go round the circle" uttered
BY President johnson in speech In
Cleveland, Ohio, in 1866, was the origin
of the familiar phrase Of today. "swins-
ing round the circle" as applied to the
campaign tours of presidents. 1t was
David Locke, the Petroleum V. Nasty
of the Toledo Blade, who converted
the words of johnson into the Swing
ing Around the Circle" slogan.
Andrew johnson was in many re-
spects a remarkable man, born and
reared in illiteracy, President john
sons state papers are said to be
among the ablest executive documents
now on file at Washington. yet"
says 4. II. Burton in his life OF John
Sherman, "Johnson's first message to
congress, in December, 1856, was writ
ten by George Bancroft, and the origl-
nal manuscript is at the Library Of
Congress.
1t was on August "a, 1865, that Presi-
dent johnson, with Secretary Seward.
General Grant and Admiral Farragut.
left Washington for tour through the
middle western states.
The ostensible object Of the trip was
a participation in the dedication OF
monument to Stephen A. Douglas at
Chicago on September 6.
But the outing was plainly an cleo
tioneering movement on the part OF
49, ,>u>ctJop< for tho prrpnSo of maxi
ing votes for my policy" In the COM
ing fall election.
At all the principal cities along the
route through Pennsylvania, New York
and Ohio, the president was received
by a majority Of those present at the
different outdoor receptions, with the
respect due his Office.
II the president, in his speeches, had
shown some degree Of moderation and
dignity in his language, the history of
this notable presidential journey would
not have been written in words of de-
nunciatiOn.
But Mr.. johnson did not try to con-
ceal either his prejudice or his tenn
per. From New York to st. Louis tho
president petulantly showed his oppo-
sition to the prevailing tone of public
opinion throughout the northern states
at the time, banded epithets with the
crowd, and "exalted himself at every
opportunity" Secretary Seward also
made some speeches. But Grant and
Farragut, although frequently called
for, did not utter word. Grant was
said to be thoroughly disguised with
the president and rode in other cars
when he could do so.
II felt" said Grant afterward, shat
1t was like listening to man at his
own funeral"
Although President johnson made
many speeches, 1t was said that not
even once did he pronounce the name
of Lincoln" in this entire trip. At
Cleveland, on September 3, the presi-
dent did say that he was placed on
ticket with distinguished individual,
who is now no more"
In the same speech occurred his ref
erence to the "circle."

SWEET CLOVER WON'T BLOAT
Belief Been Held Long and Supported
by Good Testimony-Cases Re-
ported in Iowa and Nevada.

The belief that sweet clover will not
cause bloat has been held so long and
has been supported by such good testi'
mony that it has come to be accepted
as fact. Several authentic cases of
sweet clover boat have been observed,
however, in Nevada and Iowa, and
owners of cattle and sheep who have
sweet clover pastures will do well to
exercise caution.
The danger is not as great as in pas
turing alfalfa, since sweet clover has
in 1t a substance known as coumarin,
which offsets blonting, though in view
of the latest observations 1T does not
prevent it e!.tircly.

The fact that the young nymphs

it possible to starve them out by fol-
lowing the practice of clean culture in
the nursery or orchard during the
