Pictf ots.
In his Dictioiiar.v <>;' Phrase and
Fable, the learned Bev. Dr. K. Cob
ham Brewer, writes upon Piets and
Scots: “Piet is not the Latin pictl
(palmed people). As Piets and Scots
are always mentioned together, there
Is no reason why one name should be
Latin and the other Gaelic. Scot Is
the Gaelic \sgod ( a ■hvellc In woods
and forests) and Piet is the
plet-lst (freebooters), (lie two being
equivalent to foresters and free¬
booters.”

\GRICULTURAL EDUCATION A
IROFITABLE INVLSTMLNT
It is worth while for one who
to become a farmer to .spend
time in securing an education?
In order to take the question out
■ he realm of generalities and
to a cold blooded dollars and
basis, more than one thousand
of representative Ohio farms
analyzed by the Department of
i Economic.i ol the Ohio State
..iLv to see if the education of the
1 'ialor of the farm had any effect on
the profits of that farm.
Nine hundred and twenty of these
had received a high school education
or less. The average labor income of
these men was $502 over and above
all expenses and 6 per cent on their
investment. One hundred of the men
whose farms were studied had receiv¬
ed a collet;;.- education along some
other line than agriculture and their
labor income was $6(34. Twenty seve
men had received an agricultural col
leg; training, the labor incomes of
these men averaged $1,422.

^•The figures for domestic animals in 1910 are not very closely comparable with those for 1920, since
present census was taken in January, before the breeding season bad begun, while the 1910 census was ta¬
ken in April, or a^iout the middle of the breeding season, and included many spring calves, colts, etc.

To Preserve Ferns.
There are at least two very satls
factory ways to preserve maiden-hair
ferns. (tne Is to dtp the ferns as soon
its gathered in perfectly limpid gum
water. This should be done very •» ro
fully. After allowing them to drain
for two nr three minutes, arrange Iri a
vase to dry Another very good way
is to put the ferns, when first gathered,
between two clean sheets of blotting
paper, Lay between hoards and press
for a week or so.
