The Lazy Spinner

There was once a little girl. She
knew how to spin very well. Al.
though she was very lazy. Every
time a knot came in her thread,
she would cut off long piece and
throw it on the floor. Every time
the maid would sweep the floor she
would pick up the pieces of thread
and save them until She had
enough to spin herself a beautiful
dress.
One day a Prince came riding by.
He asked the little girl why her
maid wore such beautiful dresses.
Then the little girl told him that
the maid picked up the pieces of
thread that she had thrown away.
Then the Prince thought if he
married the little girl she might
waste half of his kingdom. But
if he married the maid she would
teach his people lesson: SO he
married the maid.-Sent in by

Kindergarten Teacher


The ambition to become a kinder.
gartcn teacher usually comes to a
girl when she is four or five years
old. After her mother. her kinder
garten and primary teachers are
the most remarkable women on
earth.
AS she grows older and has the
care of younger brothers and Sis
tcrs on endless Saturdays she may
question her choice of life work.
How did Miss Flora" have so
much patience and where did she
ever find 50 many interesting
things for the children to do?
Miss Flora" like every success
full kindcrgartcner, is real spe-
cialist in child psychology. Part
of it she learned from books and
teachers during her training course
and part from practical application
and testing of her theories.
There was day when the middle
aged woman with a love for child
rem could buy a few books of songs
and games and open small. pri-
vate kindergarten. But the rapid
growth of the public school kinder
gartens within recent years has
brought a demand for the trained
teacher.
A two-year course in an accrcd-
tied training school is all that is
required of the high school gradu,
ate. If a girl hopes to become a
supervisor or an instructor in a
training school. a threeyear course
and a college diploma will be a
great advantage

SYMBOL OF FRENCH PRoWEss
Martial Bird Placed In Prominent
Position on Pont de kehI, Over
the River Rhine.

A Gallo cock now adorns the Pont
de Kehl on the Rhine at Strasbourg
where but only the other day sat erect
the griffin of Baden, symbolizing the
iron heel upon Alsace. The idea of
the setting up Of the Gallo cock was
that of the French general, Cernesson,
the first officer In charge of the engi-
neers In a freed Strasbourg. The
scheme was put before General
Hirschauer and was Immediately
adopted. The sculptor chosen to carve
the emblematic bird was the Alsatian
Schultz. Since the peace treaty gave
France possession of the entire length
of the Rhine bridges, the Gallo cock
in bronze has been placed aloft on the
right bank Of the Rhine. 1t has an
air, that bird, the air of the king of
the barnyard Justify Growing at dawn.
1t may be hailing peace, but the cock
is naturally a martial bird and this
particular one with its eye fixed on
Germany certainly commands respect.
1t had been the intention to use the
bronze of a kaiser statue In the cast
ing of the Pont de Kehl cock, but the
statue of William before the palace
in Strasbourg was found to belle Its
appearance and to be merely compo-
sition.

HETEROGENEOUS FEEDS NEEDED
To Make Hogs Gain Rapidly and

Other Feed Than Corn.

Some heterogeneous supplement must
be supplied to make hogs gain rapidly
and economically when they are given
the run Of the cornfield to do their
own harvesting. At least part of this
supplement may be In the form of a
roughage such as alfalfa, clover or
soy-bean pasture. If provision has not
been made 10 have clover, alfalfa or

CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST
Conservation Of Soluble Manure
Makes Big Returns In Shape Of
Various Farm Crops.

BY increasing the value Of manure
produced. concrete floors for feeding
stables will return their cost In about
one year, as shown by tests at the
Ohio experiment station. The extra
crop returns from manure Kept on
concrete floors is due to the soluble
plant food in the manure; this seeps
away where earthen floors are used.
The cost Of concreting floors gen.
orally amounts to about IS per animal
In the ordinary feeding stable and the
saving In manure is equal to this
amount Of every 1000 pounds In live
weight Of steers or cattle fed for the
year, as compared with animals fed
on earth floors.
Concrete floors also make 1t easier
to provide better sanitary places for
animals.
