One of the Held demonstrators of
the United States Department of Agri
culture who has been Investigating
the effect of the tick, has found that
this cattle pest has damaged hides
so badly in many southern districts
that average market value of hides of
tlcadufested cattle S II. 20 or 3 cents
per pound on an average, less than the
hides not damaged by the tick. A
prominent tanner In Pennsylvania,
who specializes in the making of
chrome leather with the natural grain
left on, states that the tick so Inter
feres with the usefulness of the bides
for this purpose that he has practi
cally stopped purchasing southern
hides. The cost of eradicating the
tick is only about 50 oeuts per head.
Cattle producers therefore could pay
for tick eradication and make a clean
profit of about 70 cents above the cost
of the hides alone. This Is apart from
the increase in the general value
of stock when freed from ticks. It is
estimated that tick eradication in
Tennessee has raised the generul
market value not less than 87 per
head or a profit of tOLO above the cost
for getting rid of the tick.

19 Schools Get Agri
cultural Appropriation
Nineteen high schools in Nebraska
says the Superior Express have quail
lied under the Shuimvay uct passed by
tho last legislature to share In the
$15,000 appropriation for the promotion
of agricultural instruction. State Sup
erintendent Del.ell has v' therefore
designated them as agricultural high
schools. They will receive allotments
of funds iu proportion to tho amount
of work agricultural training provided
for.
If the money wore equally divided
and tho entire appropriation were
used this year, It would glvo each
school about 8700. Superintendent
Dolzell thinks it may bo expedient to
appropriate tho entire tln.OCOthtsyeai
as tho next legislature will meet be
fore the end of tho following school
year and can make further provision
to carry on tho work.
The schools which will receive state
aid for agricultural work the coming
year are:
Alliance, Alma, Aurora, Beatrice,
Blair, Fairfield, Gothenburg, Hustings,
Holdrege, Kimball county high school,
O'Neill, Pnwuee City, Red Cloud, South
Omaha, St. Paul, Stromsburg, Tecum
sell, Wahoo and York.
In order to secure part of tho ap
propriation, the board of education lit
each place had to meet the following
conditions:
Furnish not loss thin live acres of
land for experimental farming.
Employ one or more trained instruct
ors iu agriculture, manual arts and
domestic science.
A uumbor of ,other conditions rela
tive to the granting of state aid are
provided for iu the act. The maxi
mum amount of aid to uuy ouo school
is fixed at S 1,850 per year, but owing
to the limited appropriation uo school
will get as much as that this year.

MIGHTY SWIRL OF WATERS
World's Qreateat Whirlpool at Junc
tion of Two Great South Amer-
lean Rivera.
In the Wide World Mr. W. .O.
Symon gives an Interesting ac
count of his experience In South
America. In regard to the Junction
of the Madre de Dlos and Inambari
river Mr. Symon says:
Just before the Junction of the lat
ter river divides Into two arms, with
an island some two miles long in
between. The right arm, which la
usually the safer for navigation, was
at the time of oar arrival, Impassable,
owing to the recent and excessive
drought that had formed the forma
tion of perilous rapkta. We had, la
consequence, to take the wide left
arm, down which the mala volume of
the river was flowing.
The reader can Imagine the eaor
mous force of water that was being
hot Into the Madre de Dlos when
he realises that the Inambari at its
left arm projection was 300 yards
wide, perhaps 30 feet In depth, and
flowing at six knots an hoar. This
great mase of water met the Madre
de Dlos, Itself 400 yards wide here, at
a right angle. The current of the
Inambari being faster than the Madre
de Dlos, the termor river cut Its way
through the latter, right across to the
farther bank. There the Inambari
was thrown back, and surged around
in a huge circle 200 yards In diame
ter to Join up again with the water
flowing to the bank. The whirlpool
thus formed was probably one of the
lurgost In the world. (I have pur
posely used past tenso in this descrip
tion, as the course of tho Inambari
is constantly changing Its mouth.)
The circles of seething water curled
Inward and downward, screw fashion,
to their center, which appeared as a
great hole, at least six feet below
tho level of the outer rim.
NEWEST IDEA IN EDUCATION
Cinematograph Films Are to Be Put
to Use In the Higher German
Schools.
According to ofllclal Information re
cently received by tho United Slates'
bureau of education, the use of mov
ing pictures In education has had a
significant Impetus in German govern
ment circles. Tho Prussian ministry!
of education Is now considering the
feasibility of employing clnemato-,
graph HlmB in some of the higher edu
cational Institutions, as applicable , to'
certain courses of Instruction, and ai
number of film manufacturers .nave;
been given an opportunity to show
the authorities what films they have
that are adated to educational piirJ
poles. t '

cently donated two full equipped mov

study and practice of right farming, and he
succeeded mightily, for hp made $4,000,000 in
the business of farming. David Rankin said:
The manure spreader is the most efficient
money-maker on the place."
It's warm praise to be ranked above all other
farm machines, but the spreader deserves it.
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken'from
them, without 'return of fertilizer. Return
every bit of manure to the soil. The I H C
manure spreader will save you much disagree
able hard labor, will spread evenly, and will
make one ton go as far as two tons spread by
hand.
I H C Manure Spreaders
are built to suit you, to do best work for the
buyer in every case, to convince him that he
ha9 made the wisest purchase. Every detail
in the construction has a purpose, for which it
was made after thorough tests and experiment.
They have the maximum of strength and en
durance. You will find all styles and sizes in the I H C
spreader line. They will cover the ground
with a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but
always evenly, up hill or down. There are high
and low machines, with steel frames, endless
or reverse aprons, but always giving best pos
sible service. Tractive power is atsured by
position of the rear wheels well under the box,
carrying nearly three-fourths of the load.
