Ilural High School
Superintendent Thomas Is author
ity for the tremendous interest man
ifested In the building of rural high
schools. His plan Includes stretches
of rural territory so as to bring every
home In the district within two miles
or the school building to which the
pupils will he hauled by the district.
The plat of ground to be used con
templates a tract of about six acres
.in which not onlv the school build
ing is located but also a house for
the teacher. This will provide am
ple room for a school or teacher's
garden besides permitting the in
structor to keep a cow and some pigs.
It is said that such a district in east
ern Nebraska will average a taxable
valuation of from one to two million
ir.iiMi which will bring down the
levy for expense of such schools to
in Hverace of from six to eight mills.
If such is the case these schools will
be very popular with the farmers
and also permit him to enjoy th
services of the grown up children in
the family, to which he is now denied
when compelled to send them to town
for instruction In the higher grades.
liaise Chicken
The demands of the European war
will cause a considerable shortage In
meat production for a number of
years. Under such conditions more
poultry will be demanded. Nebras
ka farmers produced thirty-five mil
lion dollars' worth of poultry pro
ducts In 1910. The University, real
izing this condition, has created a de
partment of poultry so that It may
give actual experimental data to Ne
braska farmers. A number of poul
try farms have been started during
the past year.
It wa our privilege to visit the
poultry farm which W. L. Stickel &
Co. are developing on the old Watson
Ranch, west of Kearney. They have
secured the services of Russell Pal
mer to take charge of this depart
ment of the farm. Forty acres have
been fenced Into separate yards. In
dividual houses erected for all lead
inu breeds of chickens, guineas, tur
keys, geese, ducks, pheasants and
other kinds of lotnestic fowl. The
location of the plant is Ideal, being at
an altitude of 2,tu0 feet, exactly
1.73:5 miles each from New York and
San Francisco, amidst beautiful
wooded surroundings, with uparklinu
clear rivulets, diverted from the
Kearney water power canal, flowing
through the numerous yards. The
tract is surrounded on three sides by
splendid alfalfa tields. At this plant
tifty-one incubators are constantly in
operation.
