FEEDIN4 IloasEs.—nlhe Michigan Farmer has this good advice : Al most of more importance than the form in which food'is given, arc the frequency and regularity of meals. The horse's digestive Organs are not constructed for long fasts: Lono-,in tervals without foodd-produces !runt- Ver, and hunger, begetsi,voraciky food is bolted and indigestion and eholic follow. This is dtiubly : true and ilangerous' with horses .doing hard . work. They come to l their long deferred Meal not only hungry;but exlausted ; not only is the food bolt ed, lint the stomach is in such a state as to'be incapable of thourghly ac-, tive digestion, and - is civrpowered by half the amount of food it could otherwise digest. The ptention of waste is almost attainec,when we give it in a proper form there are two Points to. which it is right to ' devote some attentiOn`—the form of the mangers and attention to the •Wapts of the individual animals. The mangers'shiSuld not be less than three feetlong, eighteen inches wide, and twelve incheS deep. They should have an upper . border of Wood pro jecting inward for two inches; and a transverse bar-. of half-inch iron . across the middle. A piece of two inch hoop on the 'top; of the manger protects it froin damagc:liy the horse's teeth. This simple'Ar rang,ement prevents 'the hope from throwing out his.corn, And the prov ender is not set in so thick a layer as in the ordinary narrow and shallow manger. 1 I - r t r. r-J I Which • treed is Best .;This question is. often askedin re gard to cows; but the answer must depend on what use is made of the, milk and buttk!rn f a cow or two are wanted by a faMily that can afford to - pay $lOO or More fora cow, and prefer ,priality- to quantity, the Alder ney. (now also called Jersey) cows are'superior to all otherS. If the ob ject be to sell the .milk, or to make II butler and for market, the Ayrshires and_liplstein:s;-:ar. grades are men ent. The Sliort-horq, frequently are good milkers, but they require better - pastures than other breeds. They make the best beef of all• breeds. Devons and their grades are tough and hardy, - andlare not- particular as to the quali ty of- grass in their pastures. A stock breeder says : " The cots that will come the nearest to filling all the -demands is, in my oppifilon, the Ayr shire, but sire 'is not the best every where. The Ilolistein or Dutch cat tith not so long nor so extensively tested, are finding great favor where beef in addition to milk or cheese is desired. Not all the importations of thoroughbred stock, I have reason to believe, have been _made up of the best animals. - The great difference in the qualities, of the animals would mak.i it hazardous to order cows without some personal knowledge of them or their breeder." Another .dariyman _writes : "Some. of the neighboring farmerS' i who are engag ed in butter dairying, and who form- i d ". erly kept the, Ayrshire, are introduc ing Jerseys into, their heads, consid er it a wise policy to have some Jer seys in all butter daries ; but for a milk, and chesse dairy; give me Ayr shires in preference to Jerseys. : In speaking of, Iteeds of dairy cows, I will say that My experience teaches me to hold the Devon Cow in high esteem; both as a mil and butter cow. .And I must say fat after several years experience with several (not 'all) different breeds of cattle, I think ir a young farmer does nothing worse )rurg 1r) ~'~ti C~ , ERE 1118 - SATS/GE LEAF EARD. .....,,- .1 .

In order to procure auchsa result, the teacheishonld make, an effort to become acquainted with as many of the parents of his pupils as posiible. The parents should visit the school their chil l . dren attend, so as to become acquainted' with the teacher, and his manner of con ducting his school. If teachers and pa rents would do this it would avoid trouble in nine cases out of ten. Most of the troubles now existing between teachers, parents and pupils, is owing to the fact, that they are not sufficiently acquainted with each other, a - rd consequently do not understand each other's motives. How frequently do we find that trou bles, disputes and contentious in school matters, have been settled by bringing the teacher and parent face to (ace, and having a half hour's. talk, in which they colne to a proper understanding of each other's plans and motives. 14-the teacher and parent had been acquainted r ahe trou ble would have been avoided entirely, and its influences would not have affected the school. Our experience is, that the better the teacher knows the parents and pupils in his district, the better school he will teach, other.things,being equal. We therefOre urge the necessity of be coming acquainted with the . parents and scholars, as one of the first things to -be accomplished,,when a teacher goes into a district a total stranger. 'We know that many teachers get along somehow with their; schools, and do not become ac quainted with, and could perhaps not rec ognize a half dozen of their school pa. trons; but we claim that more good could have been accomplished, and better sitis r faction given, if . the teacher had `known the circurn,tances of each family and pu pil, We haVe known parents who denounc ed teachers for certain witions in the school 7 rooniswithout going to the school and endeavo ng to find out whether what 1 they have h 'ird reported was true 4 not, 1 —and we .ve knowniwhere they tr , :in!tt not go, fortfear it were , false. Such pa -rents are 4 nuisance in any civilized com munity. A teacher. is supposed to know ' what will most advance and benefit the sehool, as a whole, and each pupil in it. As.suming.this, we do not think the teach er should always explain- to his, pupils why he requireS so- and so of his pupilj; but because-of the stupidity of sine pa rents they cannot see whi: this, or. that, should be required of t&ii• Children, they denounce - the teacher as good for nothing; • while if the same . parent had visited the school, and made inquiry why he requir. ed thus and so, the teacher would have been . glad - to inform him; and the parent have . gonec home satisfied that the teacher was laboring for the greatest good to the greatest number. We write of these things, because we believe the teacher can do much to change this state of affairs. We think the teach er should make . an effort to become ac-. quainted with the patrons 6f his school, before he beginis. the school, if possible, and if not befoie as soon after as he can. The teacher should endeavor to persuade the parents to visit the school as frequent ly,as poi . sible: They should invite them to visit the school at 'other times than -when there is' to be some public:exercises, or such like. • We speak of only this one difficulty , 7hich may be avoided by a proper feeling of harmony and concert of action between teacher and parents—for if we as teachers can overcome this one: obstacle,' we may congratulate ourselves upon being the means of advancing our school system, and benefiting humanity and, ourselves: TRUE PIAZES If low motives actuate the pupil, he will grow up selfish and depraved. It will be generally conceded, we think, that natural incentives are intrinsically sitperi= or to artificial. They nourish and strengthen the higher principles of char acter, and, at the same time, act through life, springing up spontaneously in the path of duty and success. If made potent iu childhood,, they usually remain in after life. Artifitial incentives, on the contra ry, are transient and treacherous. They allure in childhood, but fail in life's needs and conflicts. The child always, induced to duty by some prize, immunity, or priv ilege, depends in value on such helps in manhood. When school days are over, if not before, knowledge must be sought for its own sake, or for its, uses, and neither integrity nor virtue holds in its hands a bribe.—Sationtrl Teacher. CONNECTICUT SCHOOL.s.- 7 The report of the Connecticut Board of ,Education to theJ.egislature.. gives some interesting figures'concerning.the schobl attendance in the Winter of 1S 4-5, designed to show what proportii'm of the, children enumer ated attended the schools during the peri od named: ' The town of New London stands the highest in the list, with a per centage of 60.6. Bridgeport . has 55.4 per cent ; Norwalk has 51.3; Danbury, 53.2; Newton, 51.2; Stamford. 41.6; and Green wich, 3:7.3. Putnam is loFest on the list, having but 23.3 per cent. Tie per cent. for the whole State for-the same Winter was 53.3, but for the whole year was 50.8, 'so that only about' one-half of the children from four to sizteen are found in the school-room each day of 176 'days on which school is taught on an O - et - age through the State. By counties i for the whole year, the average attendance per 'cent. of eniimeration was as follows : Tol land, 53.5; New-Haven,. 53; Middlesex ; 52.2; Hartford, 50;.; Ncw Londcin, 50.6; litchfieid, 49; Fairfield, V. 6; -Windham, 4-1:5.-..Yeir York Times. ,To SE&111£ good government in a sehool, it is necessary for the teacher to be considerate and film.: Let your pupils, knout that when you say "no," you mean "no," and when you say "yes," that you mean "yes." Teachers are not aware how much power they have for good gov ernment when they at first refuse a pupil, but by persistence on the part of the pu pil, the former negitive is changed to an affirmative one. Teachers should have a proper and strict regard for their word. If a teacher should say to his pupils, "We will have, the advanced geography class recite to-morrow at 10 o'clock;" when that' time arrives, everything else should be dropped and have the recitation as promised. If the teacher permits that recitation to go unheard at the time fixed. the pupils will naturally :conclude that the teacher does not mean what be says, and consequently will lose confidence in, him. Teachers should never make any threats, hat is case they. are made, they , should be : *mated stri atV, unless no -1 reaspaibh4 - : - - Atiototrea Ic nuty - be worth :while to inquire whether the money so generon'sly expend ed on education, even in these pinching tinier is producing commensurate results. Any unsupported opinion in reply to,this inquiry would be unsatisfactory, no ma . .., ter how respectable its author. Nothing less positive than a series of impartial ex aminations, made' by competent perions, should have any weight in deciding this question. The fact may not be generally known, but such examinations are made annually, and your readers will be able to draw their own conclusions if the results are laid before them. The Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis are both recruited by the appointment of one cadet from each Congressional district, I and : W . :" at large " (10 annually). . The appointments are, for the: most part, made arbitrarily; but in many instances candidates are selected by competitive ex amination. After appointment the candi dates are examined at West Point (at Annapolis in the case of the naval cadets) by a bbard composed of professors of the Academy. In 'order to insure strict im. ; partiality, the examination consists of written questions, to be answered in writ ing, and the candidates are known only by numbers. • The papers of all candi dates examined at one sitting are identi cal, and in order- to satis'y all inquiries in the case of rejected candidates the questions and accompanying answers of each candidate are tiled at the War De partment in Washington. It is clear that these examinations can hardly be other wise than fair and impartial, and that in - the subjects of examination they show very exactly the average attainments of the young men of the whole country. The ages of the candidates are,. for West Point, between 17 and :22, and for Annap- Ohs between 14 and IS. The subjects of !examination at West Point - are history,_ geography, arithmetic, gramtnar, spelling and reading. No mere . catch questions are employed, and the range of each sub ject is not !greater than any 14-year old boy. of average capacity, properly in structed, have mastered. At an examination of 4.'i candidates a few days ago, at West Point, no less than "20 were rejected as unsatisfactory, and this result, -44 per cent of Ffailttres, was not exceptionally disastrous. • At the cor responding exaiiiination last year, no less than 60 per cent. were rejected. The June examination usually ailOrds a little better result, but, taking the two examin ations of candidates, the percentage of failures'is' very heavy. An examination in history and geOgraphy could be made to cover so much ground as to defeat almost any candidate, no matter how thoroughly prepared. In fact, however, the examination in these_ subjects is not, comparatively, more severe than in arith metic, which is limited to the four ground rules, fractions (decimal and vulgar), and propoi tion. It will be observed that no Latin. no Greek, no modern languages, no higher mathematics, are required—no thing but 'the common- English branches—from boys aboVe the ordinary age for leaving school, who have hadsev eral months' notice of their appointment, and who, in -many instances, have been specially coached 'for their examination. The course of studies at West Point is not exceptionally difficult. Brains and induSi try are certainly essential ! , to. high stand ing in one's class, but any boy that has fairly passed his entering examination without special coaching ought to gradu ate, if his habits are studious and his con duct good. But a large percentage fail after entering, and a large number of these subsequent failureS are clearly at tributable to imperfect preparation—gen erally to an, insufficient knowledge of the Englisklangnage. It has been remark- ed by one of the most distinguished ?ro-' fessors at West Point, that- the eantli-i dates 'are not now so well prepared as boys were 30 years ago. Young men pre sent then.selves who have studied a good many- ologics, but they cannot spell nor read; they have "been through" a course rif higher matheMatics, but they know almost nothing of arithmetic; and they are deplorably deficient in ; zrammar, his tory; and geography. In short, the aver age young man of the present day,•who takes prizes in our e• pensive seminaries and high schools, fails in the.very studies which were thoroughly taught in the dis trict schools of the country 7,0 years afzi). There is no room for opinion on .this point. The facts developed at the West Point ciaminations for several years past, are unanswerable. If the "improved ed ucational systems," which _include no drilling in arithmetic, 'leading, writing, spelling 'io _geography, and history," are adapted the wants of young men of the present generation, there is nothing to be said. One thing is certain, however, if the common branches are to be acquired at all they must be learned and thorough ly mastered in early life: - Whatever the girls may be doing, ti c boys, on leaving school, are not up to the mark. Where the difficulty lies, and how much of it is due to, the substitution of a prineipal, with Young ladies for assistant teachers, in .place of masters, for Whose physical as well as mental force boys' naturally gave some respect, is too large a question to be entered upon at this writing. —i.

The teacher is more to blame for this want of thoroughness than any other per son; the way to avoid it is to not allow the pupil to study any, of the higher branches until he understands the common branches thoroughly: VAcnEns should 'endeavor to teach their pupils habits of Obedience, Punctu ality, Industry, honesty and Temperr all CC.
