EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
Five Year State Certificates.
Attention Is called to the advan
tage of Five Year State Certificates.
They hold good for five years; they
entitle the holders to teach in any
county in the State without further
examination. They speak in plain
terms as to the competency of those
who hold them and are within them
selves good recommendations for
paying positions; they guarantee a
?alary of not less than $35 per month.
Many of our teachers are amply able
to stand the State examination; oth
ers can easily prepare by the July
examination. There will be only one
examination each year for the Five
year State Teachers' Certificate.
This will be given at the County
Seat of each county in the State at
the time in July for public examina
tion.
Questions for the examination will j
be prepared by the State Board or
Exmainers, and all papers will be
graded by said board.
Application blanks, and printed di
rections will be furnished, upon ap
plication, to the State Supreinten
flent or to the County Superinten
dent. All applications for State Cer
tificates must be filed with the1 State
Superintendent by July 1st.
The above notice is given now in
order that those who may desire can
prepare for the State examination
to be held on second Thursday in Ju
ly.

Poinsettia Salad.
"For a poinsettia salad, wipe, peel,
and chill six small tomatoes," says
Fannie Merritt Farmer in the April
Woman's Home Companion. "When
ready to serve, cut in eighths, not
severing the sections, and open like
the petals of a flower on a crisp let
tuce leaf. In the center put one
teaspoonful of pearl onions, and
serve with a German dressing: Mix
one half teaspoonful of salt, one
fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper,
one eighth of a teaspoonful of pap
rika, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar
and four and one half tablespoonfuls
of olive oil. When well blended add
one half tablespoonful of finely chop
ped green pepper and one teaspoon
ful of finely chopped parsley. Keep
in a very cold place until serving
time, and shake thoroughly before
using."

The Ideal Meal.
In the April Woman's Home Com
panion Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the
distinguished expert on "health,"
tells what proportions of food con
stitute the ideal meal, and he gives
? *veral menus for ideal meals that
will be of great help to every house
wife.
"It must be remembered," says
Eoctor Hutchinson, "tha< pure starch
pure sugar, pure protein and even
pure fat are practically nowhere
found in a state of Nature. Roughly
speaking, a dietary consisting of one
fifth protein, or meat-like food; two
thirds carbohydrate, or starch and
sugar foods; ard, to use a hiberni
cism, one eighln fat, is the proper
working proportion. This of cours?
roughly corresponds to the slice of
meat, two or more sllcss of bread,
a helping of potatoes, rice or maca
roni, the vegetables, the pat of but
ter and the fruit, sweets, pudding or
pie which the average human re
gards as a 'square meal.' "
Creamed Sweet Potatoes.
"For creamed swwet potatoes,
\ ash, pare, and cook sweet potatoes
i i boiling salted water unfil tender,"
^ys Fannie Merritt Farmer, the
greatest cook in America, in Wo
njan's Home Companion for April.
"Let stand until cold, and cut in
one-third-inch cubes; there should be
two cupfuls. Place in a sauce pan
with two tablespoonfuls of butter,
and cook three minutes. Season with
a slight shaking of salt, pepper and
paprika, sprinkle with two table
spoonfuls of flour, and add one cup
ful of rich milk. Cook slowly for
twenty minutes."

What Is called "dry farming" is
the tillage of unwatered and unlrri
gable lands by such manipulation of
the surface of the soil as to hold
and store the whole quantity of tn
annual rainfall. This is done by
deep plowing and such harrowing
and pulverizing of the top soils as
to keep it in absorbent condition.
Through an order of the Interior De
partment about 3,009,000 acres of
land in the counties along the eas
tern border of Wyoming are to be
thrown open at once to homestead
ers, who will be allowed to take
either 160 or 320 acres. This whole
body of upland lies in such relation
to water courses that it cannot be
irrigated. It will therefore furnish
to experimenters in dry farming an
opportunity on a large scale of dem
onstrating the worth of their method.
Those who make 320-acre entries
are obliged to attempt to cultivate
their holdings; but there is no such
compulsion insisted upon in the
case of the 160-acre entries. If
the dry farming scheme "holds wa
ter" it will add very considerably
to the area of arable lands in some
of the mountain States.?Philadelphia
