SCHOOL OFFICIALS
ALL TO DROP OUT
Inside Tip Is That New Men
Will Succeed Graft, Bourke,
Herring and Finlayson.
CHANGES DESPITE DENIALs

A complete change of the roster OF
paid officials OF the Omaha Board of
Education is scheduled for next year.
No, no one has resigned as yet nor
have the successors to any OF the
present school officials been agreed
upon, but the school board majority
is said to have reached the conclu-
sion that none of them is entitled to
be reelected and it just so happens
that the terms of all expire at the
same time next June.
The school positions and their in
cumbcnts due TO be filled before long
with new men include Superintend-
ent of Schools Graft, Secretary of the
Board Bourke, Superintendent OF
Buildings Finlayson and Attorney
Herring
Will Not Be Candidate.
This persistent talk about a new
superintendent OF schools being slated
to succeed Mr.. Graft" declared man
well on the inside, on condition that
he be not quoted, has been denied.
but there is more to it than appears
on the surface. Superintendent Graf
will not be a candidate for reelection
when the time comes, because he
knows the situation. You have no.
ticed how frequently his name has
been mentioned in connection with
vacancies in other cities. While, OF
course. he is not hunting job, his
friends have been urging him else
where. The truth is he owed his place
to the old school board and, as every
one knows, had narrow escape three
years ago, when it was all fixed to
name Miss McHugh for superintend-
ent until President Walker of the
board went back on the arrangement
and Mr.. Graft was given another three
years lease OF life. The supcrntend-
ent did not hit it off with the new
board that took control a year ago
and today all OF his former friends
and supporters are out and he has
no one to champion him on the in
side
Herring Sidetracked.
AS to the other places" continued
this informant, they. too. are all in
possession of hold-overs. Though At
torney Herring has continued to draw
his salary he has not been consulted
for "a year or more to any extent or
taken in on any of the important
moves. Last year Member Woodland
| furnished the legal advice and this
year the board is looking to Mr..
Brogan and if any paid attorney is
needed, it will be someone else after
next June. What is initiating against
Secretary Bourke and Superintendent
Finlayson is the feeling on the part
of the leading board members that
they should have men in these posi-
tons with more initiative aud more
activity outside of routine. The board
so far is only looking around, but
count / that something is sure to
happen

THE BOARD OF AGRIC ULTURE OF HENDERSON COUNTY9
TREE PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS.

On the arrival of trees, Immediately
open bundles and bury trees in a
slanting position, covering carefully
the full length of all roots and at least
one-half the trunk. Keep damp. but
not wet, thus preserving until ready to
be planted.
preparatory to planting, carefully
examine all trees for insects and dis
eases, and cut all broken, or bruised
roots Immediately above the wound
making smooth slanting cut. Plunge
trees. in a barrel of water, covering
roots Immediately with soil as the
trees are distributed for TRANSFORMING.
The following planting distances are
recommended: apples, pears x 80
feet; peaches-18x 18 feet; plums and
cherries-20 20 feet; and pecans,
go so feet.
successful tree planting requires
the preparation of hole amply large
for the spread of the roots and of such
depth as to- allow the tree ID stand
, two or three inches deeper than it for
merly stood in the nursery. Well
Totted stable manure, or q mixture of
not exceeding one pound of equal
parts of a mixture OF cotton-seed meal
and acid phosphate, may be Thorough
ly mixed with the top soil and applied
thus preventing direct contact of roots
and fertilizer. No fertilizer or ma
nure should be put at the bottom of
the hole. Work and firmly press the
dirt among the roots, and pack the
dirt firmly as it is thrown in. and after
the hole has been filled
1t is very essential that all trees &c
pruned Immediately after setting
otherwise they will dry out badly

TEN RULES FOR FLOWING.

1. Pillow, if possible, when the soil
will drop from the moldboard in mel
low, friable condition.
g. 1t is better to polw when too dry
than when too wet, and don't delay the
work too near seeding time.
g. Pillow as long before planting as
possible, so the soil will have ample
time to settle into goOd-bed condition
and store up moisture for the coming
crop.
T. Deep blowing enlarges the mo1s-
ture reservoir and gives more root
room.
5. Late fall and winter blowing de-
stroys weeds and many insects.
6. When green crop or. heavy
coat of manure is to be turned under,
ploy early so the organic matter will
have time to decay and the soil to be-
come settled before seeding.
T. Have the seed bed loose and
well pulverized on top. but firm and
well packed underneath.
8. Good blowing breaks ND ana
mellows the soil. Well pulverized soil
will grow larger crops than a lumpy
one containing the same proportion OF
plant food, for the reason that it holds
more moisture-and it is the moisture
which carries the plant food to the
growing crop. 1t gives the plant roots
a larger feeding area and has more
constant temperature.
9. In finishing a land, unless the
purpose is to leave a deep dead-furrow
or drainage turn a shallow furrow
back into the dead-furrow. The bare
subsoil will produce little or no crop.
10. Poorly drained fields. or those
in regions of great rainfall, may be
plowed in narrow lands. making high
back-furrow ridges and deep dead-fur-
rows. If necessary, such lands may
be plowed this way two or three years
in succession. This elevates a large
portion of the surface and gives better
drainage over the whole area.-A. M
Ten-Eyck.

HURRAH FOR THIS CALF CLUB.

+ Tell your banker about the calf club
conducted by the First National Bank
of Brighton, ILL., Briefly, here is what
happened. Last March the bank
bought "a heifers from Wisconsin, at
an average price OF $43 head. These
calves. ranging in age from six 20 six
teen months, we're sold to the school
children around Brighton, for actual
cost. with the understanding that with
in less than year the animals should
be sold and the children should have
the profits, less six per cent for the
bank. It was decided to have an auc-
ton sale, and this sale was held on
the 9Th of December. The eighty-four
heifers brought on the auction block
an average of 5000 a head, or a total
of $7,749. The notes given by the chill
dhen amounted to 1852. leaving a
profit of $4,137. We think that is
rrettv good. We think Tom Cham
berlain. cashier of the bank of Brighn-
ton and w. Scott Matthews, Illinois
Dairy and Food Commissioner, both
deserve praise. BY backing this club
they have gone far toward stocking
their neighborhood with good cattle
and they have set an example to others
I 4 oroiIp OF farmers, acting co-opera-
ffveiy. could do this just as well az
banK. -and they could do it with hogs,
or horsea, or sheep. just as Wen As
With cattle.--E arm Life.

vu,T AN ELECTRIC MACHINE
NOES TO TIGHTEN HOUSEWORK,

Mrs. John w. Robinson, of Hickory,
q writing to the Progressive Far
mer says:
81 want to tell you about our ma
obino for making the woman's work
I;cbter and home life more pleasant.
II is a little gasoline engine that gem
rates electricity and. stores it in a
Lottery. This engine can be started
bI- child eight years old and stops
itself when the storage battery is full
Of mice We only put in gasoline oc-
casionaIly and run the engine about
+1-o or three times a week.
From this battery we get our cleo
+ricitv for lighting the house and barn,
also several lights in the yard. We
oIso run with this electricity a small
compressed air pump that furnishes
is abundance of water all the time.
When the pressure gets low the pump
ctarts itself; when air enough is in,
the hump stops itself. 1t pumps wa
ter and air.
1--WE use the Juice only for pump
ing and lights, but you can use it for
many things, running separator, churn
machine, milking machine, washer
ion etc. A little motor is required for
these additional things. We hope to
get more of these later.
THE expense OF gasoline is hardly
eight cents day for lights and water
This makes it about 80 year. ISM

SPEED UP YOUR GARDEN
"SASS' WITH HOTBED,

By constructing hotbeds before
March it is possibel to grow vegeta''
bles which are susceptible to frost
damage, such as tomatoes and cab!
bage, at least two weeks earlier than
if they are not planted until danger of
frost is past.
The common dimensions OF the hot
bed for the home garden are five and
half by twelve feet. A pit of the
desired size is dug in the ground, to a
depth of two feet This is boxed in
: with ordinary pine planking, which
extends six inches above the top OF
the ground on one side. and twelve
inches higher on the other. The pit
is then filed to a depth of eighteen
inches with horse or mule manure, to
furnish heat. The manure may be
moistened and left standing in a pile
in the open until it begins to ferment
when it is ready to be placed in the
hotbed. On top of this about six
J inches of good garden soil is placed
The bed is covered by inexpensive
window sashcs.
When the hot bed is complete let il
| stand covered closely, for few days
until, the temperature is constant at
about 80 degrees. Fahrenheit. The
seed may then be planted. AS the
rays grow warmer in the early spring
| the sashes may be gradually raised
! This is to accustom the plants to the
outside air, so that they may .be
planted early without danger of being
! killed.-Mississippi Extension Service

HENS RETURN GOOD PROFITS.

A good hen can be raised for about
81, she can be kept for one year after
beginning TO lay for about $1.25, her
eggs for a year estimating II dozen
at rs cents a dozen, will be worth So.
and the hen will be worth so cents
when through laying at the end of her
pullet year.
This is return of $1.25 on an In
Vestmetn of $2.25. which is an increase
of about 55 per cent. not counting Ia
Dor or depreciation of plant.
If we count Is cents as the cost or
caring for a hen one year and temper
cent for depreciation of the plant.
there still remains over 80 per cent
net profit on the investment.
These facts were brought cut IN 2
Missouri experiment where Oh White
Leghorn pullets were kept for = year :
laying. all the feed that was fed to the
hens being weighed and the eggs being
sold at market prices. The 30 hens
produced IL dozen each which were
sold for $157.17. The cost Of keeping
the IS hens one year was abotu $66.zF'
reckoning feed prices at about average
market rate in 1915. The hens were
fed a well-balanced ration and had the
run of yard 100 feet square. Inc
price of eggs for the year averaged
approximately 25 cents dozen.
From the foregoing figures it will be
seen that where one has good hens to
start with and handles them properly
net profit of considerably over 81 a
year can be counted on from a flock OF
that size.
But the know-how is just as I'M
portant in handling hens for profitable
returns as is the case with with anV
other kind Of complicated business =
