How Bich Lund Should Be.
1- g This is a common question, and it
means much more than is usually
supposed. The answer is clear ; Lind
should be jugt rich enough to grow
the best crops. What is over this is
; a
loss in the interest and the manuri
al properties that'esespe, as nitrogen,
the best of them; will. There may
therefore be too much fertility. But
some crops require more than others,
'like corn, the grasses and foreign
crops in_ general. - - Not sci with the
grains, which may be too stout, so as
to lodge, or grow, as they
are apt to,
more straw in proportion than berry.
Yel, the grairis (wheat in .particular)
will bear considerable enrichment—
'much more than they get. Alter
learning by test what kind of-manure
the land wants—and the manure _of
the farm usually answers the purpose
r ,the application becomes only a
matter of quantity and the gauge
'may be maintained by a proper rota
t tion, using -Of enough can
_bp made
which can with proper management),
only farm - yard - manure,-and what the I
farm furnishes. La sod, -green crops,
etc. It thus becomes an easy matter
to plash the crops as • desired. The
question arises, to what extent they
shall be pu - shed and not leave too
. large a surplus in the land. As I
said before just enough to grow the
best crops, as land may be 'too rich
•or too poor to realize profits, This
always leaves a portion in the'soil,
enough to - give the necessary balance
and texture.-This is not a 'very large
amount. For instance, a poor soil
that barely pays expenses, given a
good coat of manure, properly ap
plied, so that the top ground where
the roots are gets the benefit of it,
-will pay all expenses, including the
manure, with something over besides,
depending on how - cheep themnanure
was obtained, while the land has still
some left of the application, which is
the Commencement of improvement,
making, with the same amount of
manure in the second crop, a better
yield, which is still- further improve.
ment in the land. Here is profit from
the crop, and increased value of the
land. - - --At this rate, it does - not take',
many years to bring up the land to
a high state of fertility. But is this
advisable? Evidently not, as 'it
leaves too much unused enrichment
in the soil.- The course is to use ma
nure enough to grow the moat propt
able crops, and no more. This is
economy. It still keeps the soil in a
good mechanical condition, with
,
small waste of the nitrates, the crop
taking up what is needed, leaving td
the soil its share, kept up, not ex
ceeded, by what excess in application ,
is demanded to supply the waste. In'
this way legs manure and more bene
fit will result.
It is fine way of farming, bring-1
ing up the land with compalatively
little outlay, and at the same time
realizing large yields with increased;
profit through the economical use of
the manure. The poorest land thui
becomes an object of interest. It is
the- true means of renovating our
New England' farms ' with their ad
mirable markets for all,kinds of pro}
duce,
and adapted to mixed husbandl r
ry. With an advantage derived from
keeping manure at the surface so as
to get its full benefit beforl it disapl
pears in the - depths of the soil, and
get it at once, realizing thus an addi=,
tional saving, with a corresponding
reduction in the expe nse (amount) of
manure and the labor of handling it;
a new era in farming has 'dawned
which is slowly but, surely revolu
tionizino' t' the old wasteful method o,
burying beyondresurrection: It novr:,
only needs care in saving and prol,'
perly applying. 'But much —indeedl
- all—is depending upon the manner?
in which this is done. To put the
manure in heaps, and leaVe it thet
• for a time, is a two-fold loss—a los
of labor and, the strength of the ma
nacre—and if left for a long time,
the loss of manure wil' be great, and
its strength will be unevenly distrib
. • uted, some places, where _ the heaps
were, getting too much, the rest not
enough. Let it be' remembered that
4t is manure, the coarse material of
the farm, on which the profit of the'
land depends, and that it accordingly
_ requires careful management, so as to
avoid waste, not only in the stable
around the barn (using absorbents
and protection), but on the field, in
the application and the amount given.

I-iee that it is difficult to settle the
question how posts should be set to
last the longest time.
.If it was not
iluportapt, what I . have. - said would.
end the matter as fat - is I am eon- -
cerned, but the saving of one-half;
or even more, of thei fencing, where
posts are used throughout the •coun
aecording to the theory of some,
is worth - some attention. I admire
the candor of some of the writers,
hut regret the uncertainty of the ex
periment wherein they might be de=
ceived. I have 400-. second growth
chestnut postS (that were set at the
ends of rows - o - ( - 'grapes) that- were
sawed tapering, so half were set top
down and half the reverse. The posts
have been set twelve years, and I
cannot tell which are the tops of ten
posts. I have examined 'them and
can see no difference in them. The
posts have all decayed some leaving
them smaller under the ..giound.-
hue ten acres of grapes, 'staked with
second growth chestnut, that have
been put out twelve years; the stakes
were sharpened at the but .end most
ly ; , a few at the top. I can see
no difference in their decaying; a
few have been replaced.' '
. I was once hoaxed by a statement
in the papers that posts set top down
would last much longer than the' re
verse, and the writer's opinion was
formed by obsery ing that limbs of trees
being driven into the ground by the
trees falling, were sound, not stating
or noting whether they had been.. in
that position two, Ave - or eten more
years. - On reflection, I thought I had
seen limbs_in the same condition that
appeared . sound, this caused the ex
periment to be tried that was stated
on page 133, where nearly 400 posts
were set, half tops down, and half the
reverse-showing no difference in the
time oilasting. Although. the posts
re_hemlock, it must ,be admitted
. they were just as good' to test the
principle.
I think those persons whO ad
voczte setting posts top down have
seen or heard of limbs being driven
into the ground, but- have not taken
the pains that I have to test the truth
of what they imagine. Among posts
set promiscuously it is hard to select
with certainty those set top down,
and then there is so much difference
in timber, even in • the same tree.
The 'but end coarser grained,
stronger and more durable. This is
one reason why they should. not be
set in the ground.
. On page 218 1 8. say, he has an oak
post that hail stood thirty-three years,
and is sound yet. , Ido not see why
that post will not last forever. If B.
will satisfactorily prove the' facts he
has stated regarding
_that post I will
go to Ohio to seeit, and get some of
the acorns of that species of oak._ I
hive set-thousands of posts during
the" last fifty years of all timber that
is generally used • for that purpose,
and think that red cedar will last
about thirty years, yellow locust
twenty years, second growth chest
nut eighteen, years, oak twelve years,
and hemlock seven years. This may
be varied one-quarter, or even more,
by the difference in the timber and :
the soil. 7 WM. RISLEY.

7EiCHEMP PREPLEATION.
From the discussions at tho meetings of
the Teatimes' Associations- for •the last
three years, and from the complaints in
various parts of the county, it is very
easy to arrive at the conclusion that the ,
people of Bradford . County are demanding
better prepared teachers. While it is true
that there is a large number of well qual
ified, earnest teachers, still it is also well
known that there is also a large number
of poorly prepared teachers, who.iold, or
have held certificate's to teach. We be
lieve it to be justice to the hundreds of
children in our county, that the Buperin
tendent should by every
. possible means
strive to ascertain the very best of the
Large numbers desiring to teach and
and grant licenses to these, and ,if these
are not enough to supply the schools to
add to the number of those having - certi&
Gates until the schools of the county can
be supplied. Obviously this will cut oft a
large number of aspirants for the teach
er's position, and many of them worthy
young men and women. To these we,
wish to say a word : while, it may be a
great disappointment to`you that you min
not teach, still you should remember-that'
justice demands that the good of the chil
dren• of the county should stand' para
mount to every thing else.. It is for the
benefit of the children and not of the .
teacher that the schools are kept open.
'lle best thing for you to dois to prepare
yourselves. The best preparation is to
go to some .thorough, well organized
school and remain until you are prepared.
In such a school you hot only acquire
knowledge and discipline, but from obser
vation you leirn how a school should bo
conducted, arid how to properly instruct
a class, From the drills of the Teachers'
Class yonlearn Much of theory and meth
ods. But many are not able to go away
from home toschool and have no school
in their vicinity which they' can attend
with profit. -These we-would advise to
procure good text books, two or three on
each can get them at great
ly reduced rates by sending direct to the
publishers, and study by yourselves.
tlse every help you can get. By all means
attend the Yearly County Institute. That
ought to be a model school 4 in session for
two weeks. We teat it will be hereafter.
If you are earnest and have ability enough
to make a teacher you will succeed. If
you have problems you do not understand
or desire information on any subject,. any
of the older teachers of the 'county will
gladly help you, if you call on them, or
write to them. The Educational Column
is open to you.' The editors would only
be too glad to have questions. of interest
to you asked, for they would be of inter
est to many others. •
Yon say, "this is a good deal of work
for very small pay." It is trite. But the
education you acquire you have to use as
long as you live. And it is only by the
better preparation of teachers that they
can hope to increase 'their salaries. In
crease your efficiency and sooner Or later
your pay must belnereased.
Tar. following solutions were crowded

Tas Boston Committee on . Mlle

petition of Edward Everett 414 a
Ruggles, C. A. Bakal, Thomas - C. *no
-17, and others, who ask that the citytaki
the initiative in establishing development
schools by giving the use of the old
Franklin school-house and making a grant
of 1F15,030 or $20,000. Mr. Edward Evet
ett Hale said that irwhat the petitioners
asked should be granted -it would enable
them to establish a school which would
receive 200 boys, at the , time , they leave
the grammar school, who could in two
years be taught any trade for Which they
might be suited, the - first few weeks being
used in determining what business the
boys aro best ,fitted for. The petitioners
_ ask to have this dope as a part of the ed
inzitiOnal system of the city, and beik4e
that in five rani they wit =see the best
boys in the grammar schOols clamoring
for admission to this institution. In re
ply to inquiries from the members of the
committee, - Mr. lisle said be thought it
was the duty of the city to educate boys
for taking positions at the bead of shops
as well as at the foot. Reference being
made to the fact that many of the manu
factories of — Massachuaetts and Now-Eng
land are conducted' by foreign superin
tendents, Mr. Coe Of the oommitlee stated
teat the company with which he is con
nected employs forty overseers and super
intendents, of Whom only five are Ameri
cans. ' Mr. Wendell Phillips said that be
did not think the present system left such
people in as good condition for the future
as it leaves the candidate for literary hon,
ors. In this respect he considered - thS
present systeni not so good as that of fifty
or 100 years ago, when boyi and girls
,went to school six months and out to
work the other six months. Me thought
nine .out of ten people would naturally ra
ther work than steal, but the present sys
tem of edneatiOn was a great hindrance
to a person who was obliged to earn his
own living. _
Tux salaries of teachers in Toledo have
been severely cut. ,_.The committee of
School Board which arranged, the new.
schedule, uses the singularly unreasonable
a Fn
argument that teachers oughtn't to -
plain of this retrenchment, because g
other e ff ects of the "hard times," *w
ing men with large families are glad to
work for $l , to $1.25. a day. It would
probably be useless to'inform people who
employ such argument, that brains have
a somewhat higher 'value than street- .
cleaning or digging powers, and that the
ability to instruct in a thorough and in
spiring manner, from twenty to forty chil
dren every day, is a work as impoirtant as
any which the world knows ;—and a work
which deserves the fullest possible re
ward. It must be said that teachers are,
a patient race. The sum which Toledo,
proposes to pay experienced teachers of
seven years' service in her schools is- T ,
$415 . a year!
THE school population of South Caron,
