USEB OF COVER CROPS AND|«‘se left for the parents to do ex The report ror 1901 of the superâ€" intendent of neglected and dependent children of Ontario has been â€" subâ€" mitted to the Legislature. During the nine years that the Children‘s Protection Act has been in force in Ontario, nearly 2,000 children have been taken charge of, and it is . no exaggeration to say that but for this Act fully threeâ€"fourths of those children would have developed into paupers or criminals. Cases are citâ€" ed of children being sent by â€" their parents to beg, and if unsuccessful at begging, stcaling would be looked upon with equanimity, and the quesâ€" tion is very pertinently â€" asked: ‘‘Should not those parents be punâ€" ished rather than the children?" The entire report reflects great credit on Mr. Kelso. ' Prof. 1. P. Roberts of Cornell (Uniâ€" versity says: Cover crops may in a measure take the place of fertilizers and manures. They are not, howâ€" ever, a universal panacea for all soil deficiencies, neither are they a . full substitute in _ all cases for fertilizâ€" ers. There is always a wide field for the profitable use of one or all on the concentrated forms of fertilizers named, and in many cases there is also a special use fo? the use of ferâ€" tilizers, therefore the more need of honest goods. Commercial fertilizâ€" ers furnish available plant food, but both, but it is only fair to say that no humus. The cover crop furnishes the plant foods in the former are more available than in the latter. Cover crops improve the physical condition of the soil, lessening the cost of tillage. Physically, fertilizâ€" ers benefit the soil little or none The humus furnished by the cover crops increases the availability _ of the plant food already in the soil, fertilizers do not. Cover crops shade the land and conserve moisture It is impossible to accurately comâ€" pare the cost of fertilizers with the cost of seeds for the cover crops and the preparation of the soil for them The cost of increasing productively extra tillage, by the use of fertilizâ€" ers, by cover crops or by all three means, can only be determined in each case by the farmer interested I give below a single illustration of what a cover crop means, knowing that another cover crop under other conditions, might either be more or less valuable. _ Second growth . of elover, furnished in roots and tops per acre, the following: Nitrogen 138.86 _ lbs, phosphoric acid 8735 lbs., potash 109.96 lbs. There is reâ€" moved by 25 bushels wheat and acâ€" companying straw, nitrogen 43 lbs , phospheric acid 20 lbs., and potash 27 lbs. It is believed that most of the nitrogen taken up by legumes is segured from the uncombined nitroâ€" gen in the atmosphere. The clover did not add to either the store of phospheric acid or potash.

What the individual _ has to invest, be should invest in his own country. Ii he has not enough confidence in his country to do that, he is a citizen unworthy of the name and unworthy of the country which gives him his bread. One point at which patriotism might be extended is in the Canaâ€" dian attitude towards foreign â€" life insurance companies, fire insurance companies, and fraternal benefit asâ€" sociations. These should be given a wide berth. In the first place, the laws in Canada under which native companies of this sort are organized are better than in other countries, and give greater security. In the second place, the more patronage the Canadian companies get, the strongâ€" er will be there position with regard to â€" surpluses and _ reserves. The money collected by these companies and not applied immediately to payâ€" ments on policies is invested in the country so as to produce a revenue In 1900 the premiums paid to Unitâ€" ed States life â€" insurance companies by Canadians amounted to over four millions of dollars. This is not patriotism;, it is not even good sense. It may be necessary to go to the United States to buy certain lines of manufactured goods; but it A WAVYE OF PATRIOTISM.

A strong _ wave of patriotism . is just now sweeping over Canadaâ€"paâ€" triotism aiming at the building up of Canadian institutions and the develâ€" opment of the country‘s vast _ reâ€" sources. Writing in the Canadian Magazine Mr. John A. Cooper has the following: Work y no morniag. Seats for the coronation are sell DAVID BEAN, Proprietor.

Reading meant that the child should speak distinctly. As a rule now they mumbled; whispered when In connection with the training of hildren for their lifeâ€"work, there was great need to learn the lesson if economy â€" as yet unlearned in our schools, though not in Germany â€" that the assistance you could give in the development of character was very great, so long as what you put ‘mto the process was not destroyed, As a builder of flesh and restorer" of strength Scott‘s Emulsion is still unequalâ€" ed. The special action of Scott‘s Emulsion on the lungs is as much of a mystery as everâ€"but an undoubted Ml rance. The child should not be laught _ that it is silly to want ‘hings, only to want things that are caitainable. Parents wish to do everything by proxy. They _ want their children brought up on nursing bottles and n cradles rocked by others; their reâ€" ligion taught rhem _ in Sunday sSchool; their religion _ and morals and everything _ el.c in the Public schools. So that there is nothing so long as there was consistence in the various influences working upon the child. The three necessities of the school curriculum _ were reading, writing and arithmetic. cll one _ another their ambitions, will boast of thier father and | lie giandly about their relations. But with the teacher, childish ambition is frightened into silence.

The important thing was the power . of appreciation :i value â€" this it was that manked line of distinction between those who were and _ were not gentlemen â€"â€" the power to hold the true relation between desire and satisfaction; _ to realize that you could pay too much for a thing. With this limitation Mr. Sheppard went on to make some suggestions. He followed the figure of the product of a mill, and maintained that there should be more sorting, more indiviâ€" dual work. There was too little per. sonal contact between teacher and scholar, and between scholar and parents. The home and school were absolutely divorced. Now. with all Fresh air, good climate, food, clothing, exercige, all these are important features of common sense treatment _ absolutely divorced. Now, with all «beir machinery _ and intellectual sumptuousness, they did not get the cesults they used to when the teachâ€" et boarded round and there was coâ€" nerence between the teacher and the taught. The product _ from the home was not â€" followed _ through its course. Six months in a room and no conâ€" tinuity. In a factory there was an assay card that followed the maâ€" terial through the process, and each oreman kept a record of what . was lone with it. When a child entered «he kindergarten, it ought to be enâ€" lered in a lifeâ€"book which should folâ€" ow it from room to room, and cach eacher should get to know the child ind its home, and mark in this book COMMON SENSE AND CONSUMPTION The treatment of cc=sump tion is every year becomâ€" ing more successful. _ The majority of cases can be cured if taken in time. Not more medicine but more common sense is the cause of the imâ€" provement. Mr. E. E. lt'g:ui. the able ediâ€" tor of Toronto Saturday Night, reâ€" cently . delivered an u‘n before the Toronto Teachers‘ Comwention. it Mr. Sheppard is not an nfl- private schools. He thinks child sent to a private school is injured, and would favor the Prussian sysâ€" tem _ by _ which every child is the ward of the State until twelve years of age, and every school to which a child under the age is subject to the Government inspector. T THE LESSON OF ECONOM\Y CONTINUITY WANTED From a Business Man‘s View. Give the boy (hc business attitude. Teach him to compute everything; the teacher‘s salary; the cost of inâ€" spection. Let him learn the meanâ€" ing of inspection; that some cne is inspecting the teacher as the teacher inspects him;, that there are inspecâ€" tions all through life. Tell him how much his school books cost; and how much they would cost if he had to buy them all separately himself; so teach him the vajlue of coâ€"operation. Tell him the cost â€" of _ Separate Schools; what they mean; so teach the childish _ mind the weakness of division. Every child should be registered, his jor her stage of development marfi‘;d. It does not much matter what _ system cf examination you have, so long as you find out what he is worth. In Ecuador they mine gold by hyâ€" draulic power and must do it in dayâ€" light. But the streams are full of water at night and practically dry all day. So long as people lamented the nocturnal "over production‘‘ of water, they produced no wealth. When they built dams to store the They should be told what they have cost their parents. _ They should know that if the $100 a year which they cost had not been spent, their parents could have had probâ€" ably a couple of months‘ rest out of the twelve. They _ must not think that affection makes up for this and that _ they need not repay it. It must be repaid, not in money, but in affection and ubedience â€" the good things the child can give, but which are too often abscent these days. If it is not paid in this way, it will be paid when their children return them ingratitude for their care. These arg things that the teacher can speak about better than the parents, who are in the position of speaking about themselves. water at night, they provided means to mine by day. This is a striking example of the way we must turn to profit all cases of temporary surâ€" plus production of staple commodiâ€" Thus _ we see that man, though slowly, is learning to understand the wisdom of nature in giving him her products in temporary excess of curâ€" rent _ consumption, and that what man has long regarded as the disâ€" turber of fegularity, and called overâ€" production, was nature persistently thrusting upon its attention the only condition out of which he could posâ€" sibly accumulate wealth and create regularity. _ If temporary _ surplus production of _ perishable products like fruit and vegetables is the only condition available â€" for increasing consumption _ and creating stability in the _ supply and prices of these things, isâ€"it not reasonable to _ beâ€" lieve that temporary surplus . proâ€" duction of imperishable articles, like iron and _ copper, is the only condiâ€" tion available for creating stability in the supply and prices of these staples? To waste the labor and the facilities to produce such commodiâ€" ties to full capadity in dull times, when it is certain they will be in great demand in active times, as Talleyrand says, "Is worse than a el;i.m; 1t 4_1.: blunder." â€" Geo. H. 11, in Engineering Magazine for March. The history taught should begin with the uuy himself. He should then have the history of boys youngâ€" er and older, that he might â€" know that birth did not begin or end with him. He should realize that he was part of the history of the earth, not an accident or treasure. Geography should begin with the place in which he was born, and grow out from that to places he had heard of and to the great unknown. He â€" should know that there were other places where children were quite as properly born and brought up as he. Economics, too, should be a part oi his education. One of the first questions _ asked should be: How much have you cost? Then, What are you worth? A boy should be taught _ that he should be worth something. That is rot taught earâ€" ly enough to prevent many from beâ€" coming nothing. ties. It is during periods of large production that _ we can most ecoâ€" nomically gather reserve stocks _ of such products as we know are sure tc be in demand d recurring prosperity In arithmetic the main object was that they thould compute readily.

It had been admitted in . a teachers‘ comference in London that a commercial _ school could teach more writing in thirty days than a Public School im thirty years.

When passing down to the South Beach we came by large deâ€" posits of pure sea shells, possibly 3( feet above sea level.
