jgrienllttral pepartinent How 1.1) PLoron.L-In his address before the State Board of Agricul: ture of Codnecticut; on "Ploughing,'i Professor, Stockbridge said : great deal of false diOctrine has been promulgathd upon, the subject of subsoil ploughing: This, was a very great mi,staka, as many soil's do not need it at all. On land which has a hard crust at the bottom Of the fur tows; isubsoiling, to break: up this crust and let the water and air thro` it, is exceedingly beneficial, and the :clay lands . need subsoiling for the same purpose. • We should under stand the principles of plough mak ing. When I take my boy to the field and set him to ploughieg,, I must first tell him' liefw to set up his plough .so that it will fake a . Turrow ,of the proper width and depth. lie must be Xaught.to . have the draught in .thecentre, centre, so as to require 'the least la bor of, the plaughtnahin keeping the plough in its place _with the furrow.. - neither too narrow nor - too wide. Ile Must also knocqtfowto so construct_ the plough as to get the right depth and keep the ploW level all the time. 'To ,make the plough take the right width of fUrrow, the iron work and the beam must be sot at cross pur poses—that is, 'the line of the land side, froin point - to heel, must cross the line of the beain. The "great-dif ficidty with swivel ploughs has been that they Will not. take. sufficient land. - They are not set Suffieiently at cross purposes, so - when at work they easily run out into the lasi furrow.'' Ile then spoke of the dip of the plough. and `explained why ploughs iare made with ttic point pitchino downward. iThe boy should under stand all these things before he starts his team: then, if the plough fails to run stead j.ly and easily, he will knoW 1 1rA• to remedy the-ditlieultr, aid not I,e like a man he once knew, who used , at plough a whole year, grt' t un lling - a c bout it all the while beeause it•took too small a furrow, but, did lilt see thht the elevis k in was in a hide hole all.the-time. ma= MST'S Fun THE GARDEN.—It is now time to h'n4e a few early pea!i, in the ground , . as they are not injured • by a.little frost, and the ground is in good "toinlition for planting.

Wog ashes is a good manure for them. • Beets, lettuce, riclishes, carrots, spinnach 41,1 parsley may .he sgwii early. -Slim:telt indeed ought to be sown in the fall itnd sli&hty protec ed tiirough the winter, but when this is riot lone early spring'sowing r . 1;ood spring turnips cannot be had without sowitv . l them as early as thh grUnnil is in a 14 condlEton. Seeds of tomaloes, egg plants and rud peppers may now be planted in I)o.N:es. • The aspararrus bed requires atten.- t ion this month, iind no farmer should be wihont it. The coarse manure slord &tie raked off and if the ground is dry the finer should be forked in -and the surface ritked - -i;ver smoothly.. halt ' should * then ,be spread • over the bed. • Thu-0 who have ‘ neglected, to or der tiei;s. plants, seeds, ere,, until now. should lose no timil in pfoeuT ing their supplies.

FoE.—Domestierited hones' have no./real ,knowledge of t.hier own strength and power, fortu nately for man. With wild hotses it •is different. In the steppe of Russia it is not rare to see a tw3.year old colt rush isglw to. attack a blind of four or live wolves, kill one or two of theni, lame the rest, and spread the terorr of his name thioughout the e(Mnfry. The wild horse strikes with his fore feet like the stag, and not with his hind legs, as it is popu larly lklio,ved.

Stria, APPROPRIATIONS FOR SCHOOLS • , There is no doubt in the mind of any intelligent person of the .Btale's duty to provide for the liberal education of its cit izens. The people are, infact,-the State, and are responsible for the :condition of society within tlie.boundaries of theßom nionwealth. Talcinga Sitfficient amount of mosey - feint the State s s s resources for educational purposes is simply applying the peoples money directly ter their own benefit. There is not only no`ijustiee in doing this, but it is au obligati ti which cannot be ignored., 'cl:le ethrational sys tem is the safeguard iff our libertieS; \ and the source of our progress. But while appropriations are l proper for the use ( - i• our schools they should.always be- made with refereifee to doing, the most good to the greate4- - number, and they are justifi able upon no'other condition. It is well -known that the common schools of Penn sylvaaia "do not receive large appropria tions from the State, and that they are mainly supported by local tax ation. NON the State tax is not raised directly by a levy upon the real estate, but is paid mainly by &al and railroad corporations, in this way the State revennesare largely rail•ed from the larie cities anti manufac lulling towns, not only of our own State, inq also of other States, since those who butt coal amid engage in commerce requir, hp transportation are made contril•utors ' 1. 't - 1 to it resources. Evidently the coal trade of New Turk city must be a large item in our reyerues, arid the same may be said of ipany other localities outside of our Coinmonwealth. It is well therefore for the State to deal liberally with the educa tional system, because, in so doing, the buniett of olirea taxatiout is made lighter. IteferL•nce ought also to be had to bring ing the sekook system as- near as possible -Li,the . people. It is wrong to lavish hun dreds of thou. ands of dollars upon. a few fat' fired loealit it whole a limited number of pupils can -be enefitted, and to deal the public funds to he common schools with tf;paring hand. I cam not what a school may be calicd,` tether normal or not, it should not receive uoney from the State to divide as pikTfitu s among its graduates. Why woula.Vit no be wise for the State to make a fair npproi •iation to be used by the graded schools in t e same tuanner in_ which the regent's fu d of New York is applied, and in return the schools thus -aided could give instruetit 1 to common school teacherS in the art o teaching. • . Such an arrangement would ce-rtainly bring the advantages of special training much nearer to the people than' at pres ent,.l. for theie at ! several graded .schools in most of the c , Mntiesof the State that are, provided with competent and accom plished teacher + If the State should give .ii17:5,000 annuaVy to the graded schools to assist in proff:ssional training, it would famish instruc tion for - 10,000 tea c he rs three terms in tihe year. The schools giv ing such instrtultion would receive a reve nue o1:j1;.,51) fkkeach teacher in attend alive during three terms, and their al t . •cn ney 'AN ould c be greatly increased by the !MEM The cause of education througlTutithe State Would be much improved liy such an outlay. and certainly the sum lis very moderate in comparison with the c good it would do, The four graded schools Of Bradfin fl County could give instruction to live hundred teachers, and at less expense thatt to gather them at schools ,distant from their homes. and far removed from the direct supervision of t the people. Teacher:, could afford to avail themselves of advantages brought so near to them, and there is no doubt that they would be glad to do Kn. What is true of Bradford County we tt hl apply to nearly every other county 'of the Statef. It seems right funds should i.e usell 1::r the education of teach ers, and it k. as plainly right that the nion.-y s.. ii cd slniuld iic expended to the best advantage. - The normal schools receive.proper support, but any di any divi*ion of the public funds in the way of free gifts to , rradtiates is not ,us 'tic:, either to the tax-payers, or to the person, 'receiving the gift. It is claimed that graded selorols cannot educate teach ers, we refer to the fact that some of the 'best teachers in the coMmon schools have been trained ill the graded schools, and by proper examination it. is easy to tind out those are qualified to teach, Give our graded - schools a chance and we shall see that in l'e4sylvania as wt , ll as • in New york the school, -nearest the people are capable of doing the greatest,. amount of • good. A man bought a farm, paying x 4,300 agreeing to pay principal and 'interest in four 'equal annual installments. This problem comet: under the head of.partial 'ayments. The first installment would cancel the interest on s4,:ino for the year, tqgether with ai certain amount of the principal, which would be less than the amount canceled by thy second install ment. The reason for this is obvious. At the end of the tirqyear he canceled a cer tain amount of the principal, therefore the principal of the second year would be less than for the first, consequently there 'would be less interest td cancel by the in terest on the first installment of the prin eipal. And the second installment of the principal Would be greater than the first by-the interest on the first. The first in stallment of the principal equal a certain sum, and the second Lon times the hist, and the third . l.ofi times the Second, and tloorourth 1.00 times the third,. forming a geometrical progression of wMch the :14,571n sum of series. 7 • 1.(1 4 No And we are to find the first term.

Trrtritt`M,•% • Mani - in or TEAcirmo.—Much is writ- ten and spoken of late upon the ,necessity of drawing out the mind of a child and awakening a spirit of inquiry. There is good logic in much s ef 'Oil theory,' but, there is also a possibility of being extreme in this direction._ ;Ideas are propagated by planting just - ha much as potatoes are,. and the 'drawing out process in the . one Case, is quite similar to the other. You will draw out no potatoes where i none have been planted, neither wilt you gath er ideas where they have not been strewn.

Ho Should use good methods for imparting instruc tion, and thtipils will soon be, able to impart the idc. which the - fertile soil of the youthful min produces inabundance. "In the morning s thy seed, and in the evening withhold not \tby band," says the. wise man. Out of noth6i• , , nothing comes, is the true maxim in the 'mental ' as well as the physical economy.
