 The grade rooms have been ar modern ideas of what school should be like. Each room is pro- vided with a large cloak room in direct connection and a private clos ct for the teacher. All rooms are arranged so that the light comes from the left of the students and there is an especially large amount of window space. An artistic bulle- tin board is found in a conspicuous place in each room and above all of the natural slate blackboards is a tack board on which may be tackled the many papers drawings and paint ings of the students.
 The most pleasing feature of the entire building is the heating and ventilating system. This has been tried and found to be more than satisfactory in every way It is not necessary to raise the windows, thereby causing draughts upon chill dren and still the air is fresh and pure. The thermOstatic control of temperature makes it unnecessary for the teacher or janitor to worry about the temperature as the little apparatus works almost with life like accuracy The small class rooms, office, library typewriting room, on the upper floor and the gymnasium are on a separate heat ng system so arranged that these rooms may be heated without heating the entire building This ystem is direct steam radiation ystem and is ample for any of the Taku winds that may come.

GETTING APPLES TO MARKET
Small or Family Packages Success
fully Used by Eastern Growers-
Many Packing Plans.

Several Eastern apple growers were
very successful last winter In market
Ing apples in small or family pack
ages. Some sold direct to the con-
sumer, while others sold to retail
stores and fruiterers or consigned to
commission dealers. One grower put
practically his entire crop In half
hushel peach baskets which were
handled by a commission dealer. He
used $500 baskets, which sold at "a
cents to 81 each. The results In each
instance were generally profitable and
satisfactory.
Several styles, types and sizes OF
packages were employed. Some used
cartons holding 12 or Is apples in in
diyidual compartments, like egg boxes.
One big grower used similar type
OF box holding either 30 or 100 fruit.
These are made with compartments OF
four sizes and are especially adapted
to supply fruiterers with fancy apples,
peaches, etc. Apples were shipped sue
cessfully in them from Massachusetts,
to California.

Massachusetts grower used many OF
them and sold them at 80 cents direct
to retailers who got 65 cents for the
same. He supplied them daily as
needed, making deliveries each morn
ing and taking orders to be packed and
filled the next day. In this way there
was no shrinkage or loss for the re-

and also used for picking.
The roots of the parsnip are dug
late in the fall and stored in cellars or
pits, much as cabbage is, or else are
allowed, to remain where they are
grown and are dug as required for use.
All roots not dug during the winter,
however, should be removed from the
garden, as they will produce seed the
second season and become of Il weedy
nature. When the parsnip has been
allowed to run wild in this way the
root is considered to be poisonous.
Carrots are cultivated in practical
ly the same way as the parsnlp but
are not thinned so much and are al
lowed to grow as thickly as planted.
Those not used during the summer are
dug In the autumn and stored In the
same manner as parSnips or turnlps.
If there Is Il surplus it may be fed
spuringly to horses and mules or cat
tie.
Turnips require rich soil and may
be grown either as an early or late

SUMMER DISEASE OF CATTLE
"Pinkeye" Is Especially Troublesome
During Hot Weather-Sometmes
Results in Blindness.

"Pinkeye" of cattle Is common
disease, especially during summer
months, and sometimes results In total
blindness. 1t is undoubtedly infec-
tious and Is believed to spread from
one animal to another through the
medium of flies. The disease runs its
course in ten days or two weeks, af-
fecting one or both eyes.
A profuse flowing Of tears is the
first evidence of the attack. The ami
NAL keeps the eye constantly closed
for 1t Is very sensitive to light Grad
unlly film seems to form over the
eye and the ball becomes clouded.
Care at this time is very necessary
and may save the animal from blind
ness. Confinement in II comfortable
stall with all light excluded Is the
best. Laxative food will put the anil
mai In good condition to ward off
complications. II flies are allowed to
lrritute the sore eyes they will prob
ably spread the infection to other ami
mails.
Bathing the eyes in strong solu-
tion of borlc acid Is a treatment cas-
ily applied and generally effective. A
better method is To place few drops
of the following mixture in the eyes
with dropper: Onc-half grain Of
zinc sulphnte, ten grams of borlc acid
and one ounce of distilled water

BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD
Enables Farmer to Haul Two Loads
at One Trip, Instead Of One Load
at Two Trips.

Reduced to simple terms, concrete
road helps the farmer haul two loads
ut one trip instead Of one loan at
two trips; or, 1t doubles the size or
the load and cuts In two the tractive
power necessary to transport farm
produce. With less capital tied up In
horses there Is more cash to put into
equipment to produce more cash. The
concrete road reduces the strain on
horses and lengthens their lives. 1t
reduces wear on wagons and harness.
Where motortrucks are used 1t less
ems tire and fuel expense. 1t puts
the farmer In a state Of preparedness
to reach markets quickly when prices
are best, and he can take his profits
and get home with more cash than he
could by slow hauling on bad road.
1t adds to the acreage value of farm
because it increases its earning pos
sibilities. A concrete road makes all
of these advantages permanent, bring
ing it's toll of profit to the farmer
daily in the form of time, money and
effort saved.

Cabbage and Carrots.

and the roots need not be gathered
until after several frosts. They may
then be stored in II cellar or buried in
a pit outside. Before storing, the tops
should be removed. If an early crop
is desired the seed should be sown in
drills IL to IS inches apart as early In
the spring as the condition of the soil
will permit. After the plants appear
they are thinned to about 3 inches.
Two pounds Of seed are required to
plant an acre.
The rutabaga is quite similar to the
turnip and is grown in much the
same way. 1t requires more space,
however, and longer period for Its
growth. 1t is used to a considerable
extent for stock feed and has the ad-
vantage Of being quite hardy.

SAVING TOMATO SEED ON The
FARM

College Park, Aug. 30.--It 10 tho Gus
tom with tomato growers to buy ehsir
seed from the market. This has been
done, but often times with considsr.
able loss to the grower. The seed, OF
course, can be secured In this way at
little cost. which no doubt has appeal
cd to the growers more than anything
else: however, there IL another con.
alteration In this connection. The
seed bought upon open market may
have come, and often does come from
plants that are more or less diseased.
The plants may not only be diseased
but they are in many cases weak and
unprolifc. This IL especially true OF
seed that is saved from the general
run of tomatoes ut the canning houses
and hundreds Of pounds OF seed are
saved every year by this method.
A much better way to secure good
tomato seed is to save It from the best
plants in the field. This can be done
by marking the plants with a stake
about the time they begin to ripen
fruit and by gathering tho fruit from
the marked hills separately. This seed
is squeezed out into . barrel or the
whole fruit OF the tomatoes them
selves placed In the barrel and crush
ed, after which water is added to the
contents, and allowed to stand for two
or three days, or until Fermentation
takes place, at which time the pulp
will rise and the seed will sink to the
bottom. The water Is then poured on,
together with whatever pulp may be
removed with the water. and a fresh
supply Of water added. After stirring
the contents, allow 1t to settle and
pour of again. This may be repeated
until the seed 10 fairly clean, after
which it is removed and spread out to
dry In a place where birds and mice
cannot feed upon 1t.
Some OF the Gamers of the State are
cooperating In this good work by pay
ing either the usual price or within 9
few cents OF the usual price for the
seed tomatoes, and still allow the
grower to take home with him the
seed. This can be done very well
where the Gamer puts up a pulp or
oatsup.
Seed saved a. suggested here will
yield a very good income on the extra
expense of saving 1t.
This Is not . new theory. but
demonstrated fact, as many OF the
growers are now practicing 1t. This
method Of improving the crop has al
ready been applied to other crops such
as potatoes, in which case the seed is
saved by the hill method. and seed
corn saved In the field. and wheat In
which the plant berry Is selected from
the most prolific strains, thus produc-
ing higher yielding strains and
varieties.

PRACTICE OF SWIMMING MILK
To Secure Best Results It Is Best to
Skim and MIX and Churn Cream,
Says Clemson.

Experience has shown that In gen
eral practice the churning of whole
milk results In butter Of u poorer fat
in the buttermilk than If cream Is
churned, says Clemson Agricultural
college Of South Carolina. 1t Is there
fore best to skim the milk and churn
the cream. The best way to skim the
milk Is by means of Il separator.
farmer who has only two or three
cows, but no separator, may put the
milk into deep, narrow cans (sh0tgun
cnns) and set them In cold water, and
when the cream rises it can be re-
moved with shallow spoon. Where
this system is used 1t usually takes
about II to 1S hours for all the cream
to rise. Care should be taken to keep
the milk cold, in order to make the
cream rise rapidly. The old method
of setting the milk In shallow pans
should not be used, as the cream does
not rise so completely as when set In
deep cans in cold water; furthermore.
the quality Of the cream is not so good
and there are more vessels to wash
and care for

CUTTING THE SPRAYING COST
Ways Of Reducing tho Expense 10 to
Buy Materials In Quantities and
Use Substitutes.

Buying In quantities and the use
Of substitutes offer ways Of reducing
the cost Of spraying materials, which
has increased markedly since last
year.
An important saving usually can be
effected In the consolidation Of orders
for insecticides from neighborhood
or their purchase through fruit grow
ers' associations or other cooperative
buying organizations.
The Importance Of this saving Is
realized when 1t Is remembered that
the difference In cost of certain In
secticides. az arsenate Of lead, In
small packages at retail stores over
the cost in larger quantities from man
ufacturers or jobbers often is 100 per

WORK IN HOME GARDEN
Number of Vegetables for Use in
Following Winter.
Adequate Supply viii Do Much to
Make FamiIy's Fare Attractive
and Observation-Disclosures
and Storage.

There are a number of vegetables
which, though grown in the summer,
are usually planted for use in the fol-
lowing winter. An adequate supply Of
these produced in the home garden
will do much to make the family's
winter fare more attractive and more
economical. Among garden products
of this type may be named cabbage,
carrots, parsnlps, turnips, and ruta-
bagas.
To store cabbage, the beads should
be buried In pits or placed in cellars.
One method Is to dig trench about 19
inches deep and 3 feet wide and set
the cabbage upright with the heads
close together and the roots embedded
In the soil. When cold weather comes
the heads are covered lightly with
straw and 9 or inches of earth put
In. Early cabbage cannot be kept, as
it does not stand hot weather we'll. 1t
should be used soon after it has
formed solid head.
Caulitlower Is cultivated In much
the same way as cabbage, but when
the heads begin to develop the leaves
may be tied over them in order to eX'
clude the light and keep the heads
white. Caultlower requires a rich,
