When properly plant ed, each hill should have three or four plants. The stalks being of even height, the tops of a hill may be grasp ed lu the left hand and the plant cut as near the ground as possible with the corn cutter In the right hand. When the first hill Is cut move the corn to the new hill, grasping the tops of the eight plants In the left hand and cut ting. These may then be dropped be tween the rows anil six hills more cut In the same way and dropped with the Hint handful, butts together. After cut ting through a row and returning, each man may take a bundle of dampened straw and tie the bundles lie cut. This done, every sixteenth bundle In 1 1n eighth aud ninth rows Is set up against the other nearly erect, one to the north, the other to the south. The two nearest bundles are then placed against these two already net, one to the east, the other to the west. The nucleus of a stook Is now made. The bundles are then set evenly around the slook anil the topx tightly tied with strong, thick bands of straw. After the stalks are well seasoned the bands may be remov ed, tiie corn husked, the stalks stored In the barn and the corn dumped In the bins. When husking It Is an econom ical plan to dump each basket of corn e husked Into a wagon which should be emptied each night Into Uie corn crib. 811 (i port for Hwect Teun.

It Is a mutter of wonderment to me why so few farmer keep liees, when the facility with which they may lie handled and freedom from danger ot sling (which no doubt used to deter many from keeping bees) Is now done away with, since the Invention of the bee veil or face protector, rubber gloves, etc., which go to make up the outfit of one engaged In the raising of bees. It U advisable to buy colonies of bees In the spring, says Mrs. Mcl'herson In the Ohio Fanner, eseinlly for a novice, although they are generally cheaper In the fall. Hut one not accustomed to them would not know whether they were In food trim to winter successful ly, or would not know what to do In case they were not perfect wintering ha very seldom been accomplished, yet our best bee keepers assert that It Is no more difficult to winter fifty colonies of bee than a corresponding number of sheep. We would advise getting the Italians, M (key ars lot a flpdtetfra M the blacks or hybrids. It yon are fearh-f get any strain that your purse sill al low, although very high prices are ask ed for some strains. I think, though, that the honey which Is gathered and stored by the blacks or hybrids is as sweet aud the quantity as great as that made by the high-priced kind. Hut all beekeepers of note allow that "no lee builds such delicate comb or caps toe honey with such virgin whiteness a the poor, despised black bee." Buy bees as near home as possible, as they can not be shipped as freight, but only by express. Buy full, strung colonies, and If In the spring, have them come when the apple trees are In bloom; never move them until warm weather and the blossoms are out. The "Chaff" or "Sliu pllcity" hive Is recommended. r'orrtii- Apple Trcca to Bear Yearly, The question with myself and neigh bors Is why I have forty or more apple trees In full bearing and they have none to siieak of. I do uot pretend to be entitled to any special favors, says Z. Breed, in the New Kngland Farmer, but I have "been thinking." I have beeu lu the practice, more or less, of fertilizing and mulching trees that were in )earliig. Suddenly I was get ting a crop of odd years, teelally of fall aud early winter apple. One or two Baldwin trees followed suit, and 1 conclude that the treatment I gave the tree? enabled them to grow the crop aud grow blossom buds for another year. 1 have also practiced thinning my fruit Am doing It at the present time. I have fertilized aud mulched a collide of trees that are lu full bearing now to see If It will affect the crop another year. I hope others will try the same experiment and report results. A Cntr-un Fountain. Instead of placing open earthenware pans In the yard and tilling them with water for the fowls to drink, suppose you try the arrangement here Illustrat ed. Against the fence or a wall fasten In a suitable manner a champagne bot tle filled with water and turned upside down. Let the neck of the bottle come within, nay. half an inch of touching the bottom of an earthenware platter, or, better still, let It reach half way from the rim of the platter to the bot tom. (If course, some of the water will run out of the bottle, which Is what you desire, but when the surface of the water reaches the neck of the bottle the flow will stop. As the fowls drink, the surface of the water Is lowered, of course, but fresh air enters the Imttle and more water com en down, thus keep ing the water In the platter at a uni form depth. Fix one or more of these fountains In Pofl.TIt? KOCNTAIN. the shade at convenient places, and you will mid very much to the comfort of your fowls. Hivnl of the bllkworm. A new kind of caterpillar appeared In Bismarck, N. I)., and the region thereabout recently, and began to de nude the slunk trees of foliage, after the manner of the pests that have lately iillllcted this city and vicinity. Some one noticed that the worm spun a co coon of'uniisually strong texture and a citizen sent a cocoon to a friend In the Fast, who owns a silk-weaving mill. The silk weaver reported to the Bis marck man thut the thread In the co coon was almost as strong as silk and of similar texture, and that If he had a handful of cocoons, he would weave a handkerchief from them. Specimens of the worms and of the cocoons have beeu sent to Washington for the re port of the (Joveriiment experts, and the North Imkotiins are thinking that perhaps what they took to be a pest Is a valuable gift from nature.

NOTES ON EDUCATION. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO PU PIL AND TEACHER. Five KDgilah Women Ptudy Our Women's Hchool-Tbe Heal Value of Teaihing Visitor aod Visiting Machinery One of the Beat Kducalnri American and Foreign Kchoota. Five women teachers were sent from Koglaud to this country to study aud re 1 tort umu secondary schools for girls aud Institutions for the training of women. Their reports have been published by Mactnillau aud are well worth careful reading. The authors, says the Philadelphia ledger, were chosen as representatives of the best training of expert teachers In Kngland and were therefore fully alive to the tTerence uf the advantages and dis advantages of the American chiols aud those of that country. Hack took a special subject aud made a report on it, and togeltu r they euable us to see Just how our schools look lu the eyes of English teachers. Some of the matters described are.of com se, familiarenoiigh here for instance, that we have no rational school system, such as exists abroad, but that education Is a matter ieft altogether to the States, though there is a certain amount of uniformity In our school, less, perhaps, than that enforced by central authority in (ireat Britain, France, Germany and Swit zerland. One of these watchful ob servers lay stress on the systematic cultivation of the spirit of nationality fostered by national holidays and on the admirable order and discipline that result from the freedom of behavior In school hours. Co-education is said to give girls more dignity, quiet aud self-possession, and to boys a whole some restraint In their manners. The splendid provision made for our public schools in buildings and equipment of course calls forth praise from these watchful observers. The private schools In this country are reported to educate about one-twelfth the school popula tion, and to be as good as any in the world. In our primary schools history of the 1'nlted States is taught much better than English history In schools of the same grade abroad. American schools make more use of oral work, blackboards, maps, pictures, models; scientific, collections are necessities In America, luxuries lu Fugland. School libraries, laboratories, studios, gymna siums are found here and not abroad. The American pupils have more self-re-llance and a greater love of knowledge for Its own sake than for the prizes which are made such an Important part of all English school work. One of the ladles who made this Inspection thinks that not sufficient attention Is given here to the development of the Individual talents of a particular boy or girl, and that although ample pro vision Is made for Indoor gymnastics In girls' schools there Is almost com plete neglect of outdoor games and rec reation. The training of teachers naturally receives much attention In these use ful little reports, especially so because Kngland and America have both made ireat advances In the past few years, yet each country has gone to work In Its own way, Ignoring aud neglecting hitherto any comparison with the meth ods of the other. The simple, matter of fact, cjqiert way In which these five English wom en have studied our schools is of Itself the best proof that they have found them well worth praise. Machinery as an Kdticator. In looking at a complex piece of ma chinery, such as the great trlple-expan-alon engines of a high speed modern ocean racer, the first feeling of the un Instrticted layman is apt to be that of confused awe. The huge mechanism appears to hlin as a leviathan, a great brute force, trained by man and under his control, but yet ready to strike down ruthlessly anyone who shall get In Its way. Education is about the last, function that one feels ready to attrib ute to It. Vet In the Engineering Maga llne, Alexander K. Outerbrldge, Jr., tells us that a machine is a great edu cator, and he ranks Its work lu this line as of a very high grade. Ills Ideas, which are worthy of care ful attention, are given In the following extracts which the Literary Digest quotes from his article. "An Impression prevails In the minds of many Intelligent people, more es pecially, perhaps, among those who are not directly engagid In mechanical pursuits, that the tendency of modern methods of manufacture In the substi tution of niaclnery for hand labor Is detrimental to the Intellectual devel opment of the wage earner, In that It makes him an automaton, like the ma chine which he tends; that the work man In a great factory loses his Indi viduality; that the handicraftsman of a former generation has disappeared; and that his successor Is a mere mari onette, to whom the gift of bruins Is a superfluity. "It Is the object of this paper to pre sent briefly a different anil, In some re spects, a novel view of the educational Influence that machinery exerts upon the mental and moral development of the worktngmiin, and to show that the Introduction of new Inventions, so far from being an oppression to the wage earner, Is, In fact, his grentest boon. These conclusion, which are the result of dully observation for a number of years In a large Industrial works, are at a variance with the opinions of those theorists and economic writers who maintain that mechanical ocupatlon la necessarily narrowing to the Intellect "I am satisfied that an Insensate ma chine, In the material combinations of which, however, the skilled designer baa embodied hla own mental faculties, so that It Is constrained to do hla will when power la applied, performing ac curately the most complec operations, rxerta a stimulating Influence upon tt care tender, even though he may be an illiterate niin or a boy entirely un conscious of this Influence. If you give a boy of average capacity the simplest routine work Ut do lu counectiou with a machine It may be merely to feed it with raw material he will at tirst, per haps, erfurui his task iu a perfunctory uiubuer, taking Utile interest iu the Work and having no comprehension of the mechanism of the machine. Little by little, however, the constant repeti tion of mechanical movements, produc ing always one uniform result, Im presses itself U'siu his latent powers of observation and comprehension, the un derlying principles aud heretofore hid den motive of the scemiugly inexplica ble combination of wheel and gears is revealed, and simple order Is evolved out of complexity; a new interest Is de veloped and the boy becomes au intelli gent operator. The educational Influ ence of mechanical occupation upon the workltiginau Is strikingly lllustr a. ed lu another manner. Vou will liud in all large industrial establishments em ployes who exhibit as much skill in their s's-cial work as that of well known original seleutitie investigators; they are daily performing operations as delicate in their way as the work of the mlcroscoplst, and with a degree of accuracy amazing to the novice. Take, for example, the simplest ojiera tlon of callperlng a tube or measuring a rod, and you will lind mechanics deal ing quantitatively with minute frac tions of an inch which ordinary people totally disregard." That all this clime relationship be tween machine and operator has Its educational value no one can doubt. But Mr. Outerbrldge goes farther, aud pursues his subject into a realm that harsh critics might be tempted to call that of fancy. A machine, he says, Is In a certain sense the representative of the human mind that conceived It He states this as follows: 'i believe that every novel machine possesses something of the personality of Its creator. I believe, furthermore, that is Is Kjsslble to trace through the machine, back to the Inventor, a posi tive and continuing Influence of his mind upon the mind of the operator. "I believe that the special mental de velopment of the present generation of American engineers and mechanics may also be traced through historical relics to the subtle quality of mind with which famous American Inventors have endowed their creations. These forces have been silently working to mould the minds of men In characteristic grooves, so that is Is Impossible to mis take a purely American machine for a foreign production as It Is to mistake a Chinaman for an Indian. This char acterization may be even more sharply defined. It Is not an unusual observa tion among mechanical experts to-day that machines produced by one estab lishment may often be distinguished from similar machines of another make (without the aid of any name plate) through a peculiar 'something' which the Frenchman expresses with a shrug and 'Je ne sals quol.' " Commit Thin to Memoey. The value of your teaching Is not the Information you have put Into the mind, but the interest you have awakened. If the heart Is trained, the rest grows out of it. Interest the heart, the feel ings, the emotions, for they are funda mental facts. The mind Is evolved out of heartiness. I'eople do not have mind worth thinking of unless they have ca pacity for sensitiveness. The charac ters of great meu prove this. Whether in picture or In prose, we are always coming up against the fact that it is enthusiasm that governs the world. We have not realized the educational possi bility of it. Of all things In the world love Is the most edticable, the most plas tic; It can entwine Itself about the lowest and most Indecent things In the world and spend Its energies there, or climb the heavenly ladder, ns Plato said, and Identify Itself with all that Is most worthy, most precious aud most lovely. Dr. G. Stanley Hall. ColUue Graduate. If college graduates are put directly Into teaching without special duty or training, they will teach as they have been taught. The methods of college professors are not in all cases the best, and If they were, high school pupils are not to be taught or disciplined as col lege students are. High school teach ing and discipline can be that of neither the grammar school nor the college, but Is stil generis. To recognize this and the special difference Is vital to success. This recognition comes only from much experience, at great loss and partial failure, or by happy Intuition not us ually to be expected, or by definite in struction and directed practice. Suc cess In teaching depends upon conform ity to principles, and these principles are not a part of the mental equipment of every educated person. From Be port Committee of Fifteen. VUUors and Visiting. Visit to learn rather than to criticise. Don't make the day for visiting schools a holiday. Vou can learn something from the pisirest school you ever saw. Don't try to do a season's shopping on the same day you take for visiting. t io to some town or city where you are sure you will see some good work and updo-date tenchlng.

Or thereabout, when the "grip"' firn broke for'h in this section of thecoun' try, it claimed him as one ot its earliest victims. Like most men with a strong phvsiqne, he sneered at the disease, ana did not guard properly against it. For days he lay in bed and left it only as a confirmed inval d. About this time he moved with his fam ilvto Pern, Nebraska, where some of his children were attending the State Normal School. He hoped the change would do him good, but he was disappointed. Ha dix'tored with the local phvsicians, and even with his own son who wan practicing medicine. All seemed to no avail, and mi ernhle in mind and body the poor man told his family that he feared there was no hope lor him. A happy thought of his own led him to try strong stimulants. He wa again able to work. Bat he soon found that his re lief was hut temporary, and when bad weather came on he was subject to severe attacks of the '"grip" as before. Two years ago Mr. Ralston was employed at the Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lincoln, the state capital, and enjoyed comparative ease while performing the duties of usher. Last fall, however, be was put oat on the wall, and with the change of work came his old trouble iu even more acgravated form. He was not only troubled with the usual miserable feelings ol the "grip," but he foand himself short of breath and generally weak, these things nnfitting him for the duties of his position. Once more, almost in despair, he sought a cure and purchased a box of Dr. Wil liams' I'ink Pills tor Pale People. He used them according to directions and felt bet ter. Five more boxes followed the first and the long-sutl'erer was a well men. Said be to a Journal reporter, to whom he had just given tiie above facts: "I feel now as though I could stack more hay than any man in Nebraska: and if I need ed a position now i would hunt one on a harvest field. Why, only last Sunday night I took a severe cold which a year ago, would have laid me up a week with the "grip;" bnt now it causes me only temporary annoyance and I simply live it otr.'1 Mr. Ralston has been long and favorably known in many parts of Nebraska both as a private citizen and as a leader in the original Farmers' Alliance movement, and hosts of friends rejoice with him in his remarkable recovery for which he unhesi tatingly gives the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
