Nothing more was said until they reached the achoolhouse door, "Wen," said Jennie rather indignantly, "I'm glad there are' plenty of voters who are more enthusiastic about me than yon seem to bet" More Interesting to a keen observer than the speeches were the unusual things in the room Itself. On the blackboards, with problems in arithmetic, were calculations as to the feeding value of various rations for live stock, records of laying hens snd computation as to the excess of value in eggs produced over the cost of feed. Pinned to the wall were market reports on all sorts of farm products, and especially numerous were the statistics on the prices of cream and butter. There were files of farm papers piled about, and racks of agricultural bulletins. In one corner of the room was a typewriting machine, and In another a sewing machine. Parts of an old telephone were scattered about on the teacher's desk. A model of a piggery stood on a shelf, done In cardboard. Instead of the usual collection of s In the desk, there were hecof exercises, reading copies tograph lessons, arithmetical tables and essays on various matters relating to agriculture, all of which were accounted fpr hectoby two or three hand-mad- e graphs a very fair sort of printing plant lying on a table.
