jgricalincill fegartment Grape Culture I :t.. The -following brief; practicaVand cOndensed rules for the management of grapes were given by Dr. Whiting at the Farmer's institute, recently held at Saginaw, Michigan :-. ,'The soil best suited for the grape_ is decomposing shale,. but any good clay soil thoroughly drained will do. The ground should be, carefully prepared and only well-rotted manure Used. • Decomposing - turf is one of• the best fertilizers ; when it can be ob tained, no other will be required. The vines selected -for plantibg Should be good one year old layers or cuttings.. They may look small, but will make the best vines. , '. Good culture is as necessary to the vine .34, to corn .or cabbage: ,Mulching and watering .the first year .should not bi! neglected if (hough is excessive. One good soak ing is better than sprinklings. More water can be saved with a hoe than can be put on with a skrinpler. In planting cut the Vine back to - two buds, whatever its strength or age. Surnmey burning Con'Mats in pinch ing off weak and .straggling hoot in order to confine the sap to the fniin branches. The first summer allow Nut one main shoot to grow. In the fall, after the first frost, cut all the sum mer growth back to within two inids of the ground. The second year confine the sap to two branches, and in the fall cut : back to three buds each. - The third ;veal, if your vine has nyule - vigorousg,rowth, a few -stems of grapes may he allowed- toNnature, brut better take off all the fruit than to suffer-too muEll to grow.' Too heavy bearing while-.youn , f frill weaken the vine for .all future time.

Each year a few of the strongest branches should be allowkd to grow as wearers of fruit the following year. In trimming cut away 4 much of 1 the old_ wood as possiblel-and save the iww, as all thedruit buds arc o -the new wood. Y Oil ea n craily tell bow much tc cm a Nay by holdin . r.yoUr new woo up to the trellis. and ima!rinc a trane with three stems or rapi!s for eac bud.

The other branches should be pinched off as soon as they reach this point, ":three leaves be yond the last stem of grapes." . . • Break off all shoots and lattdrals• as fliStasthey appear, but on no ac count injure the leave on the hearing canes. .The fruit will color but-not ripen if the leaves are destroyed. tirapes.for winter use should lie picked as, soon as ripe and, when dry packed in dry sawdust.

Not a pound of. ashes should he stiiiited. but all should be saved anti applied to the land. Where they - can be had at reasonable rates they should be purchased fur manure.

MENTAL CULTURE 'Education does not so-much create fa culty as• it trains and invigorates it. What the grindstone is to the axe, education is to the mind, a means to sharpness. A. little more than this may be title when we apply it to the mind, for the very pro , cess of thinking, and study, loss. a tenden cy to work out the dross,. refining it as the hainmer does the iron on the anvil. It is very important that the Mind eains strength and facility of action throltigh habit of exercise, but it is puke import ant to learn the lair of its own action; to tind out its own natural chanbel, and like "the: river, wear it broader, deeper and straighter, as it has occasion. The un trained mind is like the waters of a river turned upon the prairie, having no chan nel for ifs use, stagnation is sure to follow After wandering and spreading over so much surface. A horse may be ..istrong hen lirSt put into service, but he does n ot know bow to use his Strength until he has received a special training. By habit 1 - 4 labor his muscle becomes more vigor ous and harmonious in action so that without ai.y real increase of strength he can move a load with .ease, which at first it. world have been impossible for him to start. It has; been said, we cannot stretch out all arm or a foot, or''walk, or run, or leap, without freshening the life-currents of the sysleM t•sentling new flashes of electric warmth along the nerves and muscks : and seattering a cloud of those blue and black devils that buzz around our , e,lentary piapils; stayers at home, and WOnlen 1191 , 6,4 , 1 yd MlrSerieS and amid household Ca+.!S. This is true, but it is egnally true, that the mind ought to be, and must be trained in oiler to know when anddiow. to act, to render the most good to itself and others.

In fact, Liebig say's: "Our chil dren have more accurate perception and understanding of nature and natural phe nomena than' Plafo had, and, they call laugh at the -mistakes made' by Pliny." lint there is no denying the fact that a knowledge of common things is sadly nee ' dc , lin every community . : and Nte must; take care that, children of a future gener ation do not tutu the laugh on us.

The alloy of sil icon with copper is said to be harder than steel, but not more than two or three chemists have ever made it. Hero is a metal tbit ive stumble over every time we take a walk, and yet' common as•it is, no one knows how to use it. What - we want is evidently not-go much an increase of knowledge as the universal disseiniiiation of facts already known. All scientiii'e men will bear testimony to this. If no new discovery were 'to be made for the nett 10 years, the world wouldnot stand still, but would have time to take an ac count of stock, and to apply the many useful things that are now slumbering in the hands of the 'few who know about them. We say to our friends the teachers and writers : Do not soar too high, but' keep down.to the level of the masses,. and help us to a knowledge of common things.— seie-nkYic American. As another school year has just closed and with it another term of the' office of County. Superintendent has been comPlet iA, jt would seem to be a fitting time to review the history - of the work performed by the several occupants of the highest Vo sition Under the school system y in the county. The office was createdby Act of Assem bly May S, 15544 and was first -filled by Emanuel Guyer. At the time the citizens were very much opposed to the office, so Mr. Guyer soon found business in band, that required earnestness and perfever once to stand the storm of opposition to the new order of things. lie was assailed on every hand as though he were the ma-. ker and executor of the law. The news papers of the county 'were open to attacks, but, notwithstanding this and the written and oral communications which were nearly - always present with him, ho prov ed to be master of the situation. Lectures `were delivered by him in all parts of the county, so that by the end of his term he had so completely : destroyed the opposi tiim to the (Are, that the people were well prepared to receive the labors of such a straightfot4Ord disciplinarian as Prof: . C. li. Coburn, who was elected to succeed him. We feel safe in saying that the mass of teachers in the county have never been better prepared for work in the school room, than they were at the close of Prof. Coburn's second term in isif3. T 1 County Institutes, held by him, were i:dconduCted as to make a last ing impression on all in attend:an& The pruning knife was not spared at the Teachers' Examinations under his care, as it has been.since, on many occa sions. Sirce 1503, there has been much good work 'done, but - we -fear there has been too much flexibility manifested as to the gnalitication of the teachers. In many Leases personal appeals,. by friends mid re latives, have been heavy weights in. 'ob taining certificates. The good of our schools does not allow such arguments to control. When Mr. Guyer was elected, there were 32K seho‘ds in the county 3,,dur ing his term, the number was increased to 305,. making an addition of 40 ; since then the number .has been increased to 'oo. We now have an average, 11-12 mouths of 'schools per‘year, instead of 41i, as reported in 1555. All of our County Superintendents have been faithful workers at the meetings of the Bradford County Teachers' .Associa tioM but after AIL that has been 'done, there is niuch work that is very much needed to be .done: School visitation, by -parents and directors is shamefully neg lected in nearly every school district ; our schools need more thorough grading and supervision and teachers need awakening to the idea of more thorough prepftration for their alfng. We feel confident that our new Super ,intendent will be alive to these wants, and will do, t4.hthe utmost, what he can for imr educational interests but it is not expected that any man can do all that is desired without any aid, therefOre it. be comes the duty of every' friend of the cause of educational advancement to help wherever • there is an opportunity. We arc satisfied; from what is commonly-ex pressed, that the patrons of our schools, ate looking for an' upward stride in edu- Cational interests: Let the' work begin with vigor :fled continue until the system is filled with renewed life.
