Il shall be the purpose of this the
third article OF series that 4 being

the local schools during the past year
Under the old plan OF organization
each grade up 70 and including the
eighth grade had one teacher for each
room or section. and this one teacher
taught all the different subjects in
that grade, However. different
plan is now in force in the seventh
and the eighth grades-a plan which
provides individual teachers for the
several subjects studied BY the pupils
of each grade There are two rea
sons why the scheme OF departmental
ization was not placed farther back
than the seventh grade First. in the
opinion OF those who are responsible
for the management Of the schools,
it was not deemed wise 10 place the
personality Of so many teachers be-
fore the children Of the lower grades
and especially since specialization is
not so necessary with the younger pu-
pills Second and perhaps the more
important, it was the intention and

teacher Of history in the high school
teaches the history in the seventh and

Latin teacher From these facts it
can be clearly seen that the depart

LINCOLN FORGAVE HIM.
One Man Who Got a Pardon Without
Even ASKING For II,

Among the innumerable nuiSances
and "cranks" who called on Lincoln at
the White House were many who
sought to win favor by showing that
they had been the first to suggest his
nomination as president. One Of these
men. says Francis +. Browne in 1.-The
Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln
was the editor of weekly paper pub
lished in little village In Missouri.
He told the president that he was the
man who first suggested Lincoln's
name for the presidency and, pulling
from his pocket an old. worn, defaced
copy of his paper, exhibited to the pres
ident an item on the subject.
"Do you really think" said Lincoln.
that that was the cause of my nomi-
nationy'
Certainly" said the editor. THE
suggestion was so opportune that 1t
was at once taken up by other papers,
and you were nominated and elected"
"Ah. well" said Lincoln with sigh.
II am glad TO see you and to know
that. but you will have to excuse me
am just going to the war department
to see Mr. Stanton"
We'll" said the editor, II will walk
over with you"
The president. with that good nature
so characteristic of him. took up his
hat and said. "Come along!"
When they reached the door Of the
secretary's Office Mr. Lincoln turned to
his companion and said, Il shall have
to see Mr.. Stanton alone. anu you must
excuse me-" And then. taking him by
the hand. he continued "Goodby. !
hope you will feel perfectly easy about
having nominated me; don't be trou
bled about it: | forgive you

Manufacturers of shoes who make a

should be Of additional interest to
farmers since. rs I'm the case of other
legumes, their culture improves the
soil.
As a pasturage crop this legume Is
rich in protein and Is particularly suit
ed for pasturing hogs, especially SO
when the beans are grown for soil i'm
provement. When the plants are young
and tender the hogs will practically eat
the whole of the plant. but after they
become mature and hard and woody
they will not be eaten so readily. BY
planting the same variety at different
dates or by using varieties with differ
ent dates of maturity the grazing may
be extended over considerable period.
Although this crop is chiefly used for
pasturing hogs, all other kinds OF live
stock may be pastured on 1t If desired.

PORK RAISING PAYS.
Success Depends Largely on Good Hogs
and Right Feeding.

Is the problem Of making pork at a
profit any greater now that grain feeds
are high? Have we not correspond
ing rise In the values of the product so
that we are just as well off? Let us not
overlook the fact that only good hogs
pay at any time, says the Farm Jour-
nal. Poor swine, poorly kept or wormy,
are losing proposition under all con-
ditions Of the market.
In keeping first quality hogs, espe-
cially pure breeds, there Is always the
additional inducement Of occasional
sales at good prices to breeders. But in
feeding there is a right way that should
not be forgotten. If you have skim
milk or buttermilli or are near cream
cry where these may be procured at a
cost of 40 cents per hundred or less it
will add quality to the ration and do it
profitably. Skimmilk is among the fore
most feeds as n grower Of young stock,
while 1t has few equals as a fattener
when fed with corn.

SOY BEANS FOR THE SOUTH.
Belief That This Lesums May Be
Profitaby Rotated With Cotton.

The department Of agriculture and
the various state experiment stations
are conducting wide experiments to
discover the various forage crops best
suited to conditions I'm the southern
states, says the Home and Farm. The
soy bean Is now the subject OF thor
Ough experiments I'm various sections.
While the bean may be grown
throughout the humid and semihumid
sections Of the south and I'm the south
ern portion Of the corn belt, 1t thrives
especially well in the cotton growing
regions. For this reason 1t offers an
excellent opportunity to the cotton
planter for adjusting his farm plans to
Offset the damage to cotton inflicted by
the boil weevil.
From the farmers point Of view the
existence Of the many oil mills I'm the
south aud the probability that by fur
nishing a demand for soy beans these
concerns will make the legume an i'm
portant cash crop should greatly facili-
tate the introduction Of the new prod
net on a commercial scale. Soy beans
