RUN AUTO PLOWS
Manned Soldiers of France Are
Trained in New Work.
Schools Established to Enable Farm.
ers to Take Up Their Old
Profession Again.

What is called q Motor Culture"
school has been established at Cha
pelle- Saint-Luc. just outside of Troyes.
1t inaugurates new era in French az
riculture.
Fifty army nurses of the older
classes are there, teaching MANNED sol
diers to run automobile plows and 9th
er traction implements of every sort.
In four crews the pupils, in turn,
drive the tractors in the field, learn
repair work at the forge and the prin-
ciple of the motor in a series of lee
lures. AS soon as they are able to
repair broken part as well as drive
a motor efficiently. they are placed at
the disposal of the mechanical cult
waiting commission and assigned to
one of the farming centers that has
been provided with motor implements
for the common use of the farmers of
the neighbOrhOOd.
This is only one of number of
similar schools in France. At Ondes,
Bordeaux, GrenOble, GrignOn and
Noisy lie Grand also, manned farm
ers and farm laborers who comprise
60 per cent of the total of soldiers who
have suffered amputation are being re-
trained for the new method of farm
ing.
The purpose is to prepare the mu-
ti!ated soldiers to take up their old
professions, if possible, or another if
physical disability prevents.
The experience of the school at
Chapelle Saint-Luc tends to show that
the use of tools appropriate to work
that interests the patient is far more
effective in relieving and curing
anklyosis, due to wounds, than any of
the special mechanical appliances.
Many mechanic who dreamed of
country life before the war is timber

handle farm implements; on the other
hand, many a farmer who had lost
interest in his calling is losing the
stiffness of his joints by the manipu-
latiOn of tools of the cabinet maker
and mechanic.
discriminating is a favorite trade
adopted on the edge of the Champagne
wine country, where the great demand
for champagne baskets keeps these
war apprentices busy. Locksmiths,
tinsmiths, horseshOers, blacksmiths
and shoemakers also are turned out
by these establishments.

The sewing room Improvement which

Poultry and Products Are Worth Alto

POultrymen should be very careful

the common belief that any old grain
is good enough for poultry feed. Be

New YOrk.-It is an oft repeated as
sertiOn that the French never give up
the Idea of trousers for women, and
the world that is opposed to such an
IDEA always comes back with the state
ment that France who adores the fem

the seasons. She points to the trous-

to be initiated. The bifurcated gar

Indians Utilized IRRIGATION.

The Indian discovered for himself
the science of irrigation. Many of the
tribes, such as the Crows and the
Apaches, early made use of the river
bottoms for the cultivation of their
staple crop-corn. When the condi.
ton of dryness came they would con-
struct a rough temporary dam of log,
with which they could divert the
course of part Of the stream into their
lands. There were primitive bitches
which distributed the water.
