SITE I ok THE (.lliLS HIGH SCHOOL*. The Hoard of Education Decides to llavo Huildliig Face tho Monumco tal Square. After moat ha of the moat careful flelibsiation and consultation (he City Uoutl of Education has decided to have the new buildlm; for the Girls' High School face the monumental squurc. The members thought very strongly at one time of letting it face Liberty Street, but they have decided otherwise now. Looking some years into the future and after having studied the situation very carefully with the advice and assistance of architects and contrac? tors, whose professional equipment in.nie their opinions worth while, the I'"aid has decided that, when it be? comes necessary to procure additional facilities for the schools, the wisest thing to do will be to move the Wash? ington school building back on the northern part of the Ityttenberg lot, at the same time enlarging und re? novating the present building, mak? ing it harmonize with the buildings then on this lot. This is looking some distance into the future, but, when this is done, the Heard believes that it will have the most attractive group of public school buildings to be found any? where and the whole monumental square will be left for a playground for the children and a breathing place Xur the adults of the city. Tho Hoard has reached its decision only after a most careful consideration of every element that entered into the ?problem tnd It Is bellved that their conclusion will be found to be wise.

A program of "safe farming" for the South is outlined in a circular which the United States Department ?b( Agriculture has sent to banker*;, business men, and farmers in the cot? ton States. The history of agricul? ture In the South, it is said, has been one of lean years and fat years. Short 'crops and high prices have almost in 'varlably been followed by big crops lapd low prices and, in consequence, .the farmer has experienced much distress. The increased attention [which has recently been given to sup? porting the people upon the land has already resulted In much good, but there is some danger, it is pointed out, that with the price of cotton rising there will bo a tendency for farmers 0 return to the old system of gam? bling on cotton. If the people of the '-'(p i?du< ? fl Iheii oWn l'vinrr. the "circular points out. it would atoady whole system and hoop tho bout ' t m rooking 'He safety moisuros 'ecommended are .is follows: I . tutu.?iTouuce a nome garden tor every family on the farm, tho year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sutll Ment to supply the family with food ibJ this character. Where feasible, 'jhavo a patch of sorghum or otVer ane to produce syrup for the fam Jtly. , Second.?Produce the corn neces? sary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with ab? solute safety. 1 Third.?Produce the necessary oats Mid other small grain to supplement the corn as food. Pay attention to u inter grazing. 1 Fourth.?Produce hay and forago ?from some forage crop, sufllcient to ?supply all of the live stock on the /farm. Use legumes such as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans, and -alfalfa for the production of hay and to enrich the soli with nitrogen and humus. 1 Fifth.?Produce the meat necessary Ito supply the people, through increas? ed attention to poultry and hogs, es ?pecial'y. Plan to increase gradually the number of cattle and other live [stock, so as to have a sulllcient num Ijber to consume the waste products of [ lie farm and make tho waste lands prodectivc.

Profitable Wintering of Farm Ani? mals Depend! Largely upon Eco? nomical Feeding, The fall season is here and with it approaches the winter feeding prob? lem. It is time to consider what feed can most profitably be used. Omina Will be high and should be fed judiciously. The bulk of the feed used for wintering stock should be made up of roughages from the farm. Small amounts of concentrates, fed daily with these feeds, make com? paratively cheap rations entirely suit? able to certain classes of live stock. For convenience in planning winter feeding, farm animals may be divid? ed into three classes: 1. Mature animals not producing an income during winter months. 2. Animals producing an income during the winter. 3. Young and growing stock to be retained on the farm the following summer. In Class 1 may be included all ma? ture live stock held on the farm, eith- ; er for breeding purposes, future work, or finishing for market the following summer. In Class 2 may be included work horses, cows producing milk, and stock being fattened for market or conditioned for sale during the winter months. In Class 3 may be included all young and growing stock on the farm. The big saving in the winter feed bill can be made with Class 1. This does not mean that animals of this class should be permitted to come through the winter in a run-down and weakened condition. Rather than consider such a practice, it would be far better to sell tho stock in the fall. It is meant, however, thai they can and should be maintained on the j cheaper feeds. Roughages, supple? mented by a small amount of concen? trates (oil meal or grain) are in favor for them. Give the horses, cattle, and sheep access to cut-over grain fields and straw stacks, meadows, wooded lots, and pastures. Horses and sheep may have access to husked-out corn? fields. In certain sections where losses of cattle have been experienced in the past from the so-called corn? stalk disease farmers should consider this fact before turning cattle Into such cornfields. As the winter ad? vances, open the bars to shelters, feed rnoVo nryr\ ??rVn tfOUghff. Corp silage will be invaluabh a( thi JfmOi especially tot cattle and sheep* Reep the feed racks filled with com stover, hay, and vtraw, but uo not be wasieiul in tue leeuing. The amount of grain to put in the trough can not definitely be given. The same should vary in accordance with severeness of winter and condition of stock. This is a point that can only ho decided in the feed lot. To per? mit the stock to go entirely without concentrates at this timo would be a grave mistake, and in all probability make impossible the task of bringing it to spring feed in a healthy and vig? orous condition. Such a condition is imperative in the case of breeding animals and essential for feeders il best results are to be obtained. The matter of feeding hogs, includ? ed in Class 1, presents an entirely dif? ferent problem from that of the oth? er stock. It is true that they may profitably be run on grain fields, meadows, and pastures before snow arrives, but concentrates must consti? tute much of their ration after outside fields are closed for winter. Roots, chopped alfalfa hay, apples, and waste products of the dairy and house? hold do much toward keeping down the cost of their winter feed. In fact, any products that will substitute for tho forages and grasses in the field, which feeds are so essential to the conditioning of brood sows, can well be used. Concerning the feed for stock in? cluded in Class 2 little need be said. It is a fact well known that hoi.sen at work require both care and feed. This they must receive if their work Is done. To furnish the dairy cow with rations not intended to meet tho demands made upon her system by the milk she gives would defeat the purpose for which she is kept. Equal? ly certain Would the stinting of the ration of fattening steers or hogs fail to make them ready for the Christ? mas market. As the food require? ments lor these different classes of live, stock is a matter of common knowledgo to stockmen, It remains only to see that it is provided in abundance. With Class 3, the young and grow? ing stock, most costly mistake! in feeding occur. A full realization of tho fact that cheapest and most rap? id gains in live stock are made with younger animals should do much to? ward obviating losses to farmers through Insufficient and Improper feeding of such animate. The failure to put gains on animals during the growing period Intended for them by nature can not be corrected by co? pious feeding ai any later time. Their growth has been stunted, and randy will they fully recover from the earlier4 setback. ESven when they d<> it is a costly practice to put growth and flesh on a stunted animal, ua com pared to what could have been done when he was in a healthy and vigor- 1 oua condtth n. But it is not necessary that young stock be fed as are fattening animals. Watch their Teed troughs and see that all of the daily rations are consumed. Do not feed them in excess, but make certain they are contented after each feeding. See that the exercise lot is used daily and that clean water is provided. The failure to feed young stock properly will open the way for future serious trouble*, and no stock? man can afford to encourage such a practice, even during the winter months.
