Miss Dura Donald, who has become
known us the teacher of Miss Linnie
Haguewood, has achieved an honor of
which all lowan' can be proud. She
has been elected to organize and super
intend a school for the blind in South
Dakota The young state of the north
west has hitherto sent its blind to the
Iowa college for the blind at Vinton,
but with its increased population it
has wisely derided to build and main
tain a school of its own. Mies Donald
who has been selected by the South
Dakota Board of Chsriiiea for t'-is im
portant work formerly lived at Corning
Adams county. She accepted a
position in the kindergarten depart
ment at Viuton and her work was soon
marked. When Linnie Haguewood be
came prominent, Mies Donald WBB as
signed us her teacher, a place she has
tilled so acceptably that she has made
an inter-state reputation as an edu
cator of the blind. As the Vinton
Eagle says, through tbe efforts of Mi as
Donald, Linnie Haguewood haB been
lifted from darkness into light. MISB
Donald has devoted four years of her
timetotbis one pupil, not for Miss
Haguewood alone, but for the cause of
the ducation of the blind, that it, in
order to discover and to demonstrate
nv educ ition can be applied to ti
aflliuted. A competent teacbe- will
take charge of Miss Haguewood .uucer
Miss Donald's supervision, while the
latter is organizing the South Dakota
school, which will be located at G-iry.—

ii] Old People.
I want to say a word to the old peo
pie. 1 se.- you wherever I go. I see
yju on the street cars. The conductor
gives the car an extra rest when you
get on or off, out of courtesy to your
slow steps. 1 see you in church. You
nod sometimes, but tbe Bermon is not
complete without your smile of ap
proval. I see you in the warmest cor
ner of the hearth reading the paper.
You have one great temptation—it is
to think that your days of usefulness
are over. You are only in the way, so
you feel, and you'd better b3 out of the
world.
It is a great mistake. If tbe Lord
thought that old people were useless he
would have devised some way sudden
ly to get rid of them.
What makes a person useful Not
ability to work, A baby cannot earn a
penny, cannot do a stroke of work, yet
it is often tbe most important factor in
the household. Baby's coming often
makes father "straighten up," often
uuites the estranged hearts of husband
and wife often brings sobriety "and in
dustry into the home life.
An old man sitting in an arm chair,
feeble and helpless, may be the most
useful member of the household. Let
me say three things to you:
1. Old people are a blessing because
of their accumulated wisdom. You
have made the journey of life. You
have the rich experience—more valua
ble than Klondike. That boy is a
bright boy who forms the acquaintance
of some aped person.

to show why the men whom we call the

are so very intolerant of any one who

Agriculture in Schools.
At a recent meeting of the State
Grange in Lock Haven, Pa., l)r. II. P.
Armsby, Director of the Pennsylvania
State Experimental Station, gave an
address upon the education of the
farmer, prenenting a brief review of the
past history and present Btntus of agri
cultural education in the United States,
aud particularly in Pennsylvania. At
t'\e close of the address resolutions were
eft'ered and subsequently adopted,
providing for the appointment of a
Bpecial committee to consider the sub
ject of agricultural education in Penn
sylvania and report its conclusions and
recommendations at the next meeting
of the State Grange.
It is to be hoped that the trend of
sentiment in the old Keystone State,
upon this important question, is in the
direction, among other ways, of teach
ing the elements of agriculture in the
common schools. A generation of
farmer's boys educated in that way
would furnish a hundred times more
graduates from agricultural colleges
than the present system pioduceB. A
taste for the study of agriculture mu6t
be implanted in tbe youog if thev are to
make ood farmers or good agricultural
scientists in after life.—Hoards Diiry

Notes on the Boot Killing of Fruit
Trees.
T!.e great distruction of orchards,
nurseries and vineyards caused by the
sevens cold of last winter is still fresh
in the minds of fruit growers and
farmers. While the loss in nursery
stock was immense, yet the greatest
disaster fell upon the orchards, gardens
and vineyards surrounding the homes
of our farmers in the state.
The subject has been investigated by
the Horticultural Department of the
Iowa Experiment Station at Ames, and
the results of these investigations have
been set forth in Bulletin 44, just pub
lished. This bulletin may be had on
application to the Experiment Station
at AmeB.
This publication discusses various
phaBes of this injury, nevertheless, the
most important part of it is connected
with the methods which may be em'
ployed by the nurserymen and farmer
in avoiding or preventing a recurrence
of the injury. These means are grouped
under three heads, each of which is dis
cussed fully in the body of the bulle
tin. These are, 1st, hardy stockB 2nd,
deeper planting and 3rd, the modifica
tion of our cultural practices in orchard
by the introduction of a cover crop
system. It is suggested that in the
past too much time has been devoted
to the study of varieties and too little
to a study of methods of culture. In
other words, that the BUCCCSB of or
charding in the Btate depends more up
on the management of the orchard
than it does upon the planting of Btrict
ly "ironclad" trees. We would advise
our readers interested in fruit culture
to send for a copy of this bulletin.
Dairying in New Zealand.
In a recent issue of Farming Mr.
A. Ruddick, who went to New Zealand
from Canada in tbe fall of 1898, as
dairy commissioner for that portion of
Her Majesty's dominions, gives a very
interesting account of dairying in that
country. The expansion of the induB
try there is along the line of butter
making rather than of cheese making
and it is in this particular that we
may look upon New Zealand
a competitor in the British market.
Tbe climate and conditions tberu
seem to be well adapted for
carrying on dairying successfully,
aad with comparative ease to the dairy
man. It is rarely necessary to house
lesB into useful form. At the end of I or provide feed for cattle during the
the year, for all tbeir enormous opera
tions and their immeusepercentages of
profit, they have added nothing to the
world's wealth, have contributed noth
ing to the swelling tide of industry.
Their business Is to intercept money at
one point and not let it pass into the
channels of trade and industry until
ihey are paid for it and by pursuance
of this system they have made, it ap
pears, in one caBe, as high as two hun
dred aud sixty-three per cent, on their
invested capital.
Let the farmer who finds it under the
moBt favorable conditions almost im
possible to make four per cent, on the
cost of hiB farm, study these figures.
Let the clerk and tbe manual worker
consider what such prodigious gains,
drawn in every case from the proceeds
of industry, muBt mean to the real
workers in productive callings. The
etrniugs of money and the earnings of
ii.en seems to be sadly disproportionate,
and It is from the class which profits by
the earnings of money that tbe cry of
prosperity goes up, Independence
OonMtnUVft
winter, aud about the only thing the
dairyman has to do is to milk his cows
and see that they have plenty of pas
ture.
There are two references in Mr. Rud
dlck's article that are well worth con
sidering in relation to the industry here.
He points out that the manufacture of
butter is carried on In large cential
creameries, with a number of i-ki.n
ming stations attached. The industry
iB expanding, but it is along the line of
increasing the number of
stations rather than the number of cen
tral creameries. By adopting this plan
it is claimed that more uniformity of
product can be secured and at a lesser
cost than putting a butter making
plant in each station.
This is the plan that was first advo
cated here when the wiuter dairying
movement began, but our dairymen do
not appear to have tHken to it very
kindly. There are a few concerns of
this kind, such as Renfrew and St.
Mary's, but the bulk of tbe creamery
jtbutter produced In this oountry is made
the factory where the milk Is kept'
Bill Wells.
'The crowd were out for excitement
and didn't care how they got it. They
took several drinks and then clustered
around one of the monte tables. In a
few moments Wells insisted upon mak
ing a bet over the limit, to which the
dealer objected. 'If you don't turn for
that bet. I'll shoot out your blankety
blank lights!' bawled the ranchman.
The leemit ez feety dollar,' said the
Mexican dealer, ami the words were uo
sooner out of his mouth than Wells
and his gaug pulled their six shooters
and iu'gan blazing away at the lamps.
'About 25 or 30 shots were fired, and
almost at (he outset the place was In
complete darkness. Of course there
was a stampede, but I remember belug
surprised that 1 had heard no crash
of glass. Half an hour later I went
back aud found the place lit up aB
brightly as ever, Wells and his cow
boys having been taken away by
friends. The roof was full of holes,
but not a single lamp had been hit.
What had put them out was the Con
xion of the shots in a confined
space." New Orleans Times-Demo

An Cnaonght Pardon.
Among the stories of that forn
governor of Texas familiarly knov
as Sam Houston Is more than oue
amusiug tale.
There was a financial agent of the
penitentiary who had warmly opposed
"the election of Governor Houston, but
was particularly anxious to retain his
own pleasantly lucrative position. Con
sequently the governor was soon In re
ceipt of a petition in which the man's
years of faithful service and special
qualifications for the place were set
forth In glowing terms by himself.
The governor sent for him and said
gravely, "It appears from this petition
that you have been In the penitentiary
eight years."
I have," was the reply.
And during that time you have per
formed faithfully every duty that has
come iu your way to the best of your
ability
I have," answered the agent, his
courage swiftly rising.
Then, sir," said the governor, with
the air of one conferring a priceless
favor, "I pardon you out!"—Youth's

SHOOTING OUT THE LIGHTS.
An OccnKion When the Old Ranch
man Saw the Trick Done.
"According to western stories" said
a former ranchman, "one of the favor
ite amusements of frontier despera
does is 'shooting out the lights/ I nev
er saw it done but once, but the Inci
dent made sullieient impression on my
mind to last me for life. It was at
Rentoti. a small camp on the old 'Stake
Plain' trail, in northeastern New Mexi
co. I wus stayiug there over night
with a couple of cattlemen, and we
naturally gravitated to the only resort
in town, a sort of combination of bar
and gambling house, in a rough one
story building, containing a good sized
stable room.
"The bar was on one side, and on
the other were two or three 'Mexican
monte' tables, over each of which were
several large coal oil lamps In wall
brackets. In the center of the place
was a chandelier containing three
more, altogether giving a good deal of
light. We, were sitting at one side
smoking and talking, when In rushed
half a dozen drunken cowboys, headed
