—The root is the foundation of the

in the beginning.
—Frequent surface cultivation makes
the natural food of the plant more avail- |
able, prevents escape of moisture and
holds water in store for summer use. :
—Look for the currant borer at this’
time. When the leaves start, affected
canes commence to wither and die. Cut
out the affected canes below the black

Game Mania.

women buying ueedless things under
the excitement of the bargain hunt

houses and race tracks put together,

deviations from the normal which I
have mentioned.

SUNG THEIR LESSONS. }
Singing geography was a popular |
fad in the educational line in. New
York in olden days, particularly in up
state school districts. It was of Yan-
kee origin. It was never made part of
tiie common school system of the state.
but was taught outside the regular
hours,
A set of wall maps known as Pel-
ton's outline maps was used. There
were no names of geographical divi-
sions or places on them. The instruc-

Among other things the following is
found in the preface of one of these
old time volumes:
“With respect to the versification, it
is merely necessary to say that the de-
sign has been to put all the important
geographical localities on the globe, in
connection with much valuable matter,
in a form which can be most easily
committed to memory, and it is confi-
dently believed that the exhilarating
effect of harmonious sounds will great-
ly facilitate the acquisition of this
knowledge. and care has been taken
that none but popular and approved
airs be inserted in the work.”
“Auld Lang Syne” appears to have I
been regarded as an especially “pop- i
ular and approved” air and was often
used. In the very first lesson the pu- |
pils were taught to describe the earth
by singing the following to this tune:
The earth is a large ball or globe {
Whose surface has been found
Three-fourths with ocean waves sub-
merged .
And but one-fourth dry ground.
Two hundred millions of square miles
Earth's surface does embrace.
Eight hundred million people here
All find a dwelling place.
Tongue twisting names did not em-
barrass the geographical versifier, al-
though the enunciation of all the pu-
pils probably was not perfect when,
for example, in the lesson on Asia
they sang to the air of “Bruce's Ad-
dress” such lines ax these:
Now in modulations sweet
Asla‘s rivers we repeat.
Obi first in Russia greet,
Irtish river next,
Lost in sand behold Helmund,
Then northward seek Yarkund;
Be not turbid Oxus shunned;
Sioon river see,
|
Ural river next in place, !
Attruck and Koor river trace;
Kizil Irmak then embrace |
In our melody. :
There were thirty-one states in the |
Union when singing geography was in i
vogue. and the pupils were taught to !
bound each of them in verse. Cali-
fornia was then the newest state, hav-
ing been admitted in 1850; was the last |
on the list, and its boundaries were |
thus defined: |
On California's northern side vast Oregon |
is placed i
Both Utah and New Mexico upon the east |
are traced, !
Upon {ts southern borders next may Mex- |
ico be found.
