Oats For Hay.
In cutting oats for hay, first
let the oats begin to ripen just a
little, that is, let just a few of;
the heads begin to turn yellow
then take a mowing machinel
and cut them down. Don't cut!
them much higher than youl
would timothy hay because you |
should save all the straw, for if
properly ha idled, the stock will
eat it all. Then let them sun
'till thoroughly dry. Then take
a hay rake and rake them just
as you would hay. If you
put your oats in the barn, as
you put them in sprinkle a lit
tle sulphur through them, every
load or two, and you will find
it will keep the mice and rats
from working through tliem. If
O O
you stack them out, apply the
sulphur just the same, 'twill do
the stock good if the rats and
mice don't bother. Oats will
keep in the stack just as well s
timothy hay. We have fed
mowed oats for six years, and
they are the best feed we can
find for horses and cattle, both
old and young, they will be in
better shape in the spring than j
when fed on any other kind of
feed we can find.—F. 0. P.,

Improve The Rural Schocls.
Much of the dark side of life
011 the farms of America is due
primarily to isolation. Ihe
more constant intercourse ol
man with man in the towns
and cities is largely responsible
for the better education which
prevails in closely settled com
munities. Education itself
would be much improved with
more frequent social inter
course, for this wonkl stimu
late a desire for more knowledge
along many lines, yet one can
not help feeling that an intellec
tual rural community must be
most delightful, ior, under
such circumstances, people will
seek one another and social
amenities will prevail. It seems
to me the most far reaching in
fluence that can be brought to
bear upon the problem is a>i
educational influence. It must
begin with the rural schools,
land it must have its full ilower
in a larger knowledge and a
constant companionship with
good literature. As means to
this end the traveling library,
the circulating library, the
magazine and the reading clubs
are ail actively useful, and they
must result in a much happier
social relation in country neigh
borhoods, and a higher moral
standard as well.— Exchange.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
An Aayertisiny Moral.
Once upon a time a donkey
fell into a deep hole, and after
nearly starving caught sight of
a passing fox, and implored the
stranger 10 help him out.
"I am too small to aid you,"
said the fox, "but 1 will give
you some advice. Only a few
rods away is a big, strong ele
phant. Call to him and he will
get you out in a jill'y."
After the fox had gone the
donkey thus reasoned : "1 am
very weak for waut of nourish
ment. Every move I make i s
just so much additional loss of
strength. If I raise my voi ce
to call the elephant I shall be
weaker yet. N O , I will not
waste my substance that way.
It is the duty of the elephant to
come without calling "
So the donkey settled him
self back and eventually starved
to death.
Long afterwards the fox, on
passing the hole, saw within a
white skeleton, and remarked:
"If it be that the souls of
animals are trail-migrated into
men, that donkey will become
one of those merchants who can
never afford to advertise." —Ex.

Newspapers m Schools.
A newspaper of the right
sort, a good and wholesome
newspaper, contains a record
of the world's daily doings, and
the older boys in our public
schools ought to be encouraged
to take an interest in the daily
occurrences of the wide world.
They ought to be familiar with
important events as they hap
pen, events of solid interest;
yet some among them, possibly
many, might be prone to give
their chief attention to what
Emerson called "the spawn of
the press 011 the gossip of the
hour," to those reports of sen
sational happenings that at
tract the attention without en
lightening the mind. Perhaps
the teacher would be able to
direct their choice and guide
their task.
Assuming this to be the case,
see what the pupils would gain
by reading a good newspaper.
It would be the means of culti
vating the habits of reading
i chat would extend beyond the
uewsp iper to the rich stores of
iterature. It would make them
familiar with passing evei.t,,
but with the urines of those
who are prominent in the pub
lic eye ; the men and women
who are making history ; who
ire conspicuous in life's activi
ies, who are writing books,
naking inventions, enacting
our laws, delivering orations,
or devoting their lives to useful
and beneficient work, and whose
| example have an alluring and
inspiring influence, You might
mention the names of a dozen
j prominent people, living or
(dead, to as many pupils in
sonic schools, even of the high
er classes, and some of them
would look blankly at you, in
dicating that they know little
or nothing about these dozen
prominent people, or, at least,
some among them. This ought
not to be, but how could they
know wi hout being informed.

Bears the /rf
Signature of
VOLCANOES, '
The eruption of the Mount
Pelee and Sufrierre volcanoes
on the island of St. Vincent and
Martinique, destroying in a
short space of time millions of
dollars worth of pioperty and
thousands of lives, reminds us
of the destruction of Pompeii
and Herculaneum hundreds of
years ago when these large
cities were burned in the same
way by an eruption from Mount
Vesuvius.
Aside from the appalling de
struction, it is an interesting
theme to study this system of
volcanoes, placed at intervals
on the earth's surface, acting
as they do as safety valves to
emit the surplus energy created
by the intense heat in the bow
els of the earth.
Science contends and so de
clares the Bible that the earth
before creation was without
form and void. Here the Bible
leaves, off, but speculative man
calculates that as the earth by
attraction and gravitation re
volves around the sun and be
longs to its solar system, so
must it have at one time been a
part and parcel of this lumi
nous body. They contend that
the sun, by reason of its great
heat and rapid changes, in con
stantly throwing into space new
particles or planets which in
time cool sufficiently to produce
life and vegetation. So they
say was the earth formed. At
first it flew into space merely
mass of fire, but gradually its
outer surface cooled, and when
it cooled to a sufficient depth,
animal and vegetable life
sprang spontaneously.
But as the outside of the heat
ed ball cools more rapidly than
the inside, so the earth consid
ering its enormous size will take
thousands of years more to cool
its entire diameter.
It is estimated that the earth
has only cooled 30 miles below
its surface. Below this point
it is a seething mass of heat aud
molten lava
Were there 110 other agencies
to interfere with this tremen
dous mass of heat there would
be 110 earthquakes and erup
iion, but the enormous amount
of water percalating through
the earth's strata comes in con
tact with the firey mass and
forming an irresistible volume
of steam that must force its way
out, driyes lava, mud, rocks
and ashes through the crater,
until having spent its force, it
settles back to await more en
ergy to accumulate. Soon
these craters become stopped up
and the opening up through
which the steam and matter is
emited becomes so clogged that
enough energy must be ac
cumulated to again blow it out
before it can escape, this energy
being sufficient to overwhelm
everything for miles around.
It is noticeable that these
volcanoes are placed near the
sea. This is pointed to as proof
by scientists that the water of
the ocean percolates at times
through to these terrible fires,
and the convulsions of the
earth which drives the ocean
from its resting place only to re
turn sweeping everything be
fore it, is caused by explosions
in the earth when fire and
water meet and so rapidly gen
erate steam it cannot escape,
but explodes in the earth. This
causes earthquakes. But while
volcanoes overwhelm every
thing within reach, yet to man
kind generally, these safety
valves are a blessing. Were it
not for them the steam aud
molten matter would accumu
late and at last be driven
through the thinnest part of
earth, and at any time we
might have a volcano appear at
our very door. Another in
teresting fact in connection with
volcanoeb is that nature uses
them to change the topographi
cal appearance of the country.
They are responsible for our
coal and mineral deposits.
Also in this great furnace in
the bowels of the earth the
metals are melting and form
ing in a mass, aud as explos
ions occur and they are sent
nearer the surface of the earth,
the sea rolls back and another
upheaval takes place aud where
once the sea rolled a mountain
assumes shape with veins here
and there of precious metal.
During the eruption of Mt.
Pelee the trees were torn up
from their roots and thrown in
a mass. The gases and lava
decarbonize them and in time
these forests are reduced to
coal, to be dug up afterward
by man. The use to which
volcanoes are put by nature are
innumerable, and they are
liable to erupt at any moment.
Yet because there is an interval
I sometimes of from 50 to 1000

To County Superintendents.
I enclose a printed list of
books adopted for use in the
public schools by the State
Text-Book Commission and of
prices and exchange prices of
these books. I desire to call
attention to the fact that the
use of these books in the pub
lic schools will be compulsory,
under the law, after July 1,
1902, and that, if old books now
in use are not exchanged be
fore that time, the exchange
prices, according to the con
tract entered into with the pub
lishers by the State-Book Com
mission. can not be taken ad
vantake of by patrons of the
public schools. I wish to urge
you, therefore, to send written
officuil notice to all the teachers
in your county urging them to
notify all children and patrons
of their schools, and to give
notice to all the people of your
county through your county pa
per urging them to take ad
vantage of these exchange
prices before July 1, 1002- If
'he patrons of the public schools
fail to avail themselves of these
"low exchange prices before the
beginning of the next school
year, they will find themselves
under the hard necessity of be
ing compelled to buy new books
at the full price, and their old
books will be left as useless'
property on their hands; This
would mean, of course, a great
loss to the people of the State
aud a decided gain to the pub
lishers, Any book that has
been used or could have been
used by any child in the pub
lic schools of North Carolina
before July 1, 1902, may be ex
changed for a new book of like
grade upon the same subject at
the price quoted.
