AGRICULTURE IN 8CHOOLS.
Kansas Teachers Prepare Themaotvee
For New Study.
Topeka.—The 13,000 school teachers
in Kansas are to be taught how to
teach agriculture. Kansas naturally
accounts Its greatest resources to be
on Its farms and cattle. The state
agricultural college is turning out
scientific farmers every day, and the
new methods are rapidly revolution-
izing the old systems. The subject
has often been brought up that the
old elements of agriculture should be
taught In the Kansas public schools
and tbe trend of opinion is moving
that way rapidly, until some early day
It will be a "course," Just are arlth-

hard rap at the “crop killers” and also
cautioned the farmers againBt planting
spring wheat.
He says: "The hired crop killers—
and the crop killer never falls to find
what he U sent after—are Junketing
up and down and across the state by
every train as never before, seeing
small fractions of a dozen counties,
and reporting on the 105 and keeping
the wires warm with their messages
telling of the ‘enormous’ damage be-
ing done, and because of it, as is In-
tended, suckers are biting and being
bitten every minute.”
All this has started a lot of talk
about sowing spring wheat on the
ground before the winter wheat is
found actually killed. Coburn is hos-
tile to the spring wheat suggestion for
Kansas, for several reasons. Firstly,
he claims that "The history of grain
growing In Kansas shows clearly that
spring wheat fields are the most suc-
cessful chinch bug nurseries yet dis-
covered, a fact well worth consider-
ing, particularly in a season when en-
tomologists are predicting chinch bugs
In far more than usual numbers. Fur-
there, the prevalence of these Insects
and the damage they did when spring
wheat was a prominent crop, and the
fact that they have virtually disap-
peared since spring wheat sowing has
been so largely abandoned, Bhould af-
ford a lesson farmers cannot well ig-
nore."
"Secondly, Kansas, by demonstrat-
ing her adaptability to growing the
hard winter or ‘Turkey’ wheats lu
greatest perfection, has attained an
unequaled place la the grain and flour
markets of the world, and she can
only maintain thla premier position by
adhering to these tested varieties and
Improving them. Dabbling with In-
numerable other aorta, which will go
to the markets as ‘Kansas’ wheat, can
In time only result In wheat from this
state having no positive identity, no
notable quality and no standing.
“It will be easy to fritter away our
splendid advantages by experimenting
with too many varieties; by one neigh-
borhood marketing a car load of one
sort, another a tralnload ot some-
thing different, nobody knows Just
what, and still another a dab of durum.
The hard winter wheat glvea the stale
wealth and worthy fame, but spring
wheat, judged by the past, is most
suggestive of chinch-bugs and calam-
ity."
mediate practical account, yet It Is
valuable merely from the standpoint
of the economy of living.
The state reading circle board
adopted a book on the elements of
farming to be read and studied by
every public school teacher In Kansas.
Eight thousand teachers are in the
rural schools. Naturally In the rural
school this form of education will be
of the most practical value. The
state reading circle designated cer-
tain books which the teachers must
read and discuss in their county as-
sociations, their institutes and teach-
ers’ meetings, Just as they do methods
of teaching and other subjects. They
also will find that examination pa-
pers will contain questions concern-
ing agriculture. It Is the first big
step to get the teachers started to
studying farming, so that when agri-
culture becomes a course of study,
the teachers will have had at least
some preparation for It.
The work which the teachers will
have to do to advise themselves on
Is comprehensive; though It does not
entail any riding on sulky plows or
threshing wheat. The Improvement
of plants and animals is an Import-
ant topic, discussing natural and ar-
tificial selections of food, reproduc-
tion. and heredity. The propagation,
grafting and planting of seeds Is
given much attention. Plant fooda
furnish an Important subject. The
study of soils is taken up In detail,
with the synonymous question of Ir-
rigation and drainage, a matter that
western Kansas Is readily agreeing
is of prime Importance. Th# fertility
of the land Is given much attention.
The Importance of the various farm
crops, the grains, and so on, are dis-
cussed widely. Tbe enemies of the
farm crops, like the green bug, the
chinch bug, weeds, diseases, and so
on, are widely discussed. Horses and
cattle la a subject given much atten-
tion. Farm management forms an Im-
portant chapter, such as keeping rec-
ords and books, and business manage-

Wouldn’t It be nice within a week or
so to begin to say goodbye forever to
the scalding, dribbling, straining, or too
frequent passage of urine; the fore-
head and the back-of-the-head aches;
the stitches and pains in the back; the
growing muscle weakness; spots be-
fore the eyes; yellow skin; sluggish
bowels; swollen eyelids or ankles; leg
cramps; unnatural short breath; sleep-
lessness and the despondency?
I have a recipe for these troubles
that you can depend on, and if you
want to make a quick recovery, you
ought to write and get a copy of it.
Many a doctor would charge you $3.60
just for writing this prescription, but
I have it and will be glad to send it
to you entirely free. Just drop me a
line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson,
K-268 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich.,
and I will send it by return mail in a
plain envelope. As you will see when
you get it, this recipe contains only
pure, harmlesa remedies, but it has
great healing and pain-conquering
power.
It will quickly show you its power
once you use it, so I think you had bet-
ter see what It is without delay. I will
send you a copy free—you can use It
and curd yourself at home.

A LITTLE THING
Changee the Home Feeling.
Coffee biota out the sunshine from
many a home by making the mother,
or some other member of the house-
hold, dyspeptic, nervous and Irritable.
There are thousands of cases where
the proof Is absolutely undeniable.
Here Is one.
A Wle. mother writes:
”1 was taught to drink coffee at an
early age, and also at an early age be-
came a victim to headaches, and as I
grew to womanhood these headaches
became a part of me, as 1 was scarcely
ever free from them.
"About five years ago a friend urged
me to try Postum. I made the trial
and the result was so satisfactory that
we have used it ever since.
“My husband and little daughter
were subject to bilious attacks, but
they have both been entirely free from
them since we began using Postum in-
stead of coffee. I no longer here
headaches and my health Is perfect."
If some of these tired, nervous. Ir-
ritable women would only leave off
coffee absolutely and try Postum they
would And a wonderful change In their
life. It would then be Ailed with sun-
shine and happiness rather than weari-
ness snd discontent. And think what
an effect It would have on the family,
for the mood of the mother Is largely
responsible for the temper of the chil-
dren.
