fc A Suggestion for Rural
Teachers.
Progressive Farmer.
In the district school perhaps
the greatest problem for the
teacher is to keep the pupils 3<
interested in the work of the
school. The whole thing seems
a\> unnatural to the pupil, to the t(
hoy in particular. The hoy is
right. Tho lite he is expected
to le ul during school hours is so si
artificial and uuna'ura! as com n
pared with his activities ou'side
of school hours that it is little 0
wonder that he grows restless rt'
and loses interest in the work of
tho school, it indeed his interest
in ii is ever awnlrnnoit ?n
'llie remedy for 1 his condition of f(
affairs is to be found in niakinp s
the conditions of school lite more t|
like tliose of the home and of the
t community. -d
No-v, for the boy from the farm p
this much-needed chance cnn be p
u.ost easily and effectively
brought about by the introduc P
txoti of elementary agriculture as li
one of the subjects o! study in n
school. The boy's interests in j
firming operations have already t|
been awakened at home; and if
1be school will hut utilize these
interests and show the relation a
ot farming toother industries, to u
trade ami to progress in all that ri
makes lor man's comfort, it will tl
l>e quite easy to interest him in
such other subjects as history,
q]
geography, anil arithmetic. These
. .11 rtl
su bjects will come to mean something
to him because lie will see _
u
Jw ic relation lo the farm activi- |
lie? in whicli he is already inter vv
e?te I. Besides, the hoy's observa- *
tions ou'side of school have already
introduced him to the elo- -u
u^nts of in my sciences ; and in- ?
stead ot putting him at work in :tl
school on subjects entirely for- ^
citru t> his education up to the
time lie entered, tlieso elements 1
u
of knowledge should he made the
a w
s'artinir poin' ot his school work.

Two gentlemen were traveling
in one of the hill countrieR ot
Kentucky not long ago, hound on
Hti exploration for pitch pine, says
the Reader Magazine, They had M
been driving for two hours with* ',|j
nut encountering a human being, '
when they came in sight ot a cab- G
in in a clearing. It was very still. K
The hogs lay where they had fallen,
the thin clay bank mule grass <
?vi 'round and 'round in a neat v
ci rcle, to save the trouble of walking,
and one lean, lank man, si
whose garments were the color of u
tSW clay-hank mule, leaned against
a tree and let time roll <;

There is no question but that

The habits and diapoBitiona of

pon the care and treatment they
ceive, and more especially is I
lis true of the hog.
Usually it will be found to be ^
goon plan to have a bucket of
op ready to give a sow as soon
* she is done farrowing.
If the trough for the sow is
lade llat and shallow, and the
lop fed the sow is sweet and
arm, the pigs will begin to eat
t three weeks old.
There is no real necessity in a
lckling sow losing llesh. After
II danger is past, and the pigs
re four weeks old, feed her sufcient
to keep her in good flesh.

Do the merchants who advertise all of the time that
they will sell you goods "below cost" really mean it ? Of
course not. H ovv could they and keep it up ? It's not
arithmetic. But you can understand, can you not, how

nearly over that a legitimate store may wish to close out
many lines they have bought too many of Many merchants
buy job lots and poorly made goods to spring on
the people at this time of the year, but look out for these
fake sales. We would rather do without business than
