“4K ' Eng "To TEACH AGRICULTURE. snarl to Establish Schools For the Benefit of Farmers. X An important experiment in the j‘teaching of agrieulture is about to be {inaugurated which, it is hoped, will be beneficial to the farming commun- ity in particular and the Province in general. In brief, the scheme em- bodies the coâ€"operation of the trustees _‘of county high schools the Depart- ffment of Education and the Depart- -'-ment of Agriculture. .The trustees of several high schools have already sig- Inified a readiness to enter into the scheme, and indeed have urged that 4it~be tried. ‘ '3'CIa‘sses In Agriculture. \ The plan provides a grant to each high school that will establish as one ‘of its regular classes a class in agri- ‘-culture, and will agree to appoint a "teacher recommended by the Agricul- ‘tural Department as a member of the 'teaching staff. He will teach his ‘class in agriculture in the most mod- em and scientific phase of that indus- ‘try as far as the means at his dis- ;posal will allow. The trustees will have to provide a plot of ground ad- ;jacent to.‘ or in the neighborhood of It JOHN M’QUAKER, Tresident Western Ontario Dairymen's Association. ‘the school, ' which will be used for :actual and practical experiments, and Eto provide the equipment for the 'class, whatever that may be. The ma- ‘terial for the experimental plots will, .‘however, be: furnished by the experi- Hnental department of the Ontario .Agricultural‘ College. The classes “.will specialize according to the agri- multural wants and conditions of the “districts in"which the schools are sit- uate. In fruit-growing sections parti- ‘cular attention will be paid to fruit (culture. In essentially grainâ€"growing cor vegetable-raising sections those Eranches will receive the greatest at- ?rtention. ‘ To Select Teachers. The teachers selected for the carry- on of the work will be men who have taken high standing at the on- 7tario Agricultural College, and who in other respects are qualified for the Work. , ' ‘The teachers will devote their time exclusively to agricultural work. If their time is not monopolized in their respective high schools it is to'_be mvailable for assisting or encouraging agricultural and nature study in the rural schools. Their services will a1- so be utilized in a general agricultural “campaign throughout the country. 'They will keep in close touch with the lAgricultural Department, sending -1n- Tformation as to pests, new and inter- =esting developments in connectlon with farming, and the general condi- :tions in respect thereto. ‘ 'Dairy Cleanliness. At the national dairy convention libeld in Chicago some very interesting "facts were brought out relative to the keeping qualities of milk-and cream Lhandled under the most cleanly and rsanitary conditions. In the dairy which produced the prize milk in this u'espect the udders of all the cows were carefully wiped with a. damp vcloth, while the milk pails were cov- rered with a fine wire screen, which :«further served to keep out foreign Tanatter which would be likely to con- ‘atain filth bacteria. This milk was aseparated at once, cooled and. iced and shipped a' thousand miles to the place of exhibition and placed in storage for two weeks at a tempera- ture of 32 degrees. It was then re- shippcd 900 miles and stored in an " ordinary icebox, where it kept sweet :for weeks. A portion of the same milk was kept in Chicago and stored at :33 degrees, at which it kept sweet and palatable for seven weeks. There is an «object lesson here that the careless rcrcamery patron ought to heed. The Task of Taoay. A Nova Scotia subscriber writes: “The business of the farmer to-day "is to hold on to all the wisdom of the past and reject all its folly and ignor- ance. For instance, it was folly and ig- norance that robbed such a vast num- ber of our eastern farms of their for- tility. It is our business to bring to bear all the knowledge of the present and restore that fertility. When that is done we are more than eVen with the \Ves-t. It was ignbrancc that lowered the productive power of our cows by wrong breeding. We must bring to bear better knowledge and correct that. It was ignorance that built ‘thosc dark, illy ventilated stables and :so helped tuberculosis on its journey. ; \Vc must correct that. once that caused so, many to turn their back to the light. We of to-day must face the light. and so it goes.” ‘Jcll, yes. So it- gocs, and so we hope it will go, and blessed be the man who help makes it go in the way our Nova Scotia friend so vividly de- lines. It was ignor- 3 _._. -H. THE GARDEN. An Arrangement That Is Designed to EcOnomize Labor. Some interesting suggestions in re gard to planning a garden are given by T. Greiner in Farm and Fireside as follows: In theSe days, when it is so difficult to secure reliable farm la.- bor, we must try to arrange the gar- den and small fruit patch in such a. way that the necessity of hand labor, especially with spade, hoe, etc., is re- duced to a minimum. We want the garden in one block, not in beds, and the small and bush fruits as nearly as may be in few and long rows. My own vineyard of about 100 vari- eties of grapes is in almost a square block, each row having about ten or twelve vines, and this almost in the centre of other cultivated lands. Thifl / _,‘......OOOOOOOOOOOOCOOO 2 OOOOOOOOOOOCHJOOOOOOOO OODOOOOOOOOQOpOOOOCOOOO 1 .OOOCOOOOOOODOOOOOOOQO. r OOCOOBOOOOOOOOOOOCOCOOC PLAN OF GARDEN. (1, 2, 3 are apple, 'pear and peach trees; A, B, C terrace, house, greenhouse and hot- beds; D, E, F flowers, grape arbor and shed. Between grapes and trees the rows of bush fruits, strawberries and vege- tables are indicated.) was one of the great mistakes made in planning the planting. The im- provement I would suggest on this plan is given in the accompanying sketch. The arbor might just as wel be mostly a grape arbor, and if the two rows are not considered sufficient another might be added. Next to this “vineyard” I would place the berry patch, consisting of currents, goose- berries, blackberries, raspberries, red- caps and blackcaps; then asparagus, rhubarb and other perennials; then strawberries 'and finally the garden vegetables. Such an arrangement would economize labor, reducing the expensive part of itâ€"labor by spade and hoeâ€"to the lowest possible limit. Value of a Good Pedigree. A study of the science of heredity cannot fail to impress the live stock breeder with the paramount import- ance of a good pedigree. If by the laws of heredity the characteristics of one or both of the parents or some more remote ancestor are certain to be stamped on the ofispring the im- portance of breeding animals which are not only of high class quality themselves, but are descendants from stock of equally high quality, is at once apparent. The more distinguishâ€" ed and unsullied the lineage of any pair of animals is the greater is the probability that the stock begotten of their union will be equal to themsel- ves in quality. The law that like pro- duces like means that the progeny shall be like the parents, not an ex- act facsimile, for two parents are never found exactly alike, but in all essential features there will be a close resemblance. This law is the great magna charts. of the breeder. The results from the operation of this law are by no means uniform. They will be nearly so, however, in propor- tion as the parents have been purely bred, in proportion as they have been bred in line without having reached the danger point of weakened stamina and in proportion as the parents are strong and vigorous.â€"-Professor Thom~ as Shaw. Covered Milk Pail. This milk pail shown in the illus- tration is something like an ordinary milk pail turned upside downâ€"small end up. The top is seven inches in diameter. A shallow pan two inches deep fits tight in the top and is fas- tened there. A few holes one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter in the bottom COVERED MILK PAIL. of the pan near the centre let the milk run through into the pail. The spout of the pail has a tight fitting cover. One or two thicknesses of strainer cloth are slipped under the pan before it is fastened in place, and the result is a dust and dirt proof pail. There is no patent on this pail. The milk strikes the bottom of the pan, runs through the'holes in the pan, through the strainer cloth and into the pail, where it is practically sealed from outside conditions. It comes in contact with the air of the barn only while it is passing from the teat to the panâ€"a distance of perhaps six inches.
