oiestion. J'robably it 'can

'costs more to keep an ordinary ca lf

If the .calf is a heifer, and Of

7lnt this' does not make a pro&able

Tne principal,losi Is in keeping the

a fat calf at six or eight weeks will

'mistake to Suppose that calves can

substitute for. milk; but if we count
the labor and time lost in feeding,

• Milkmen_ never . raise their own'
cows, and the same used to be true
of butter and cheese dairymen. The
increasing &faulty. - of buying the
choicest dairy cows has forced some
good dairymen to raise them ; but
`,Alley all consider the method a costly .
une, more costly than they could af.
ford if they had any other alterna
tive. For a good milk cow, known
,to , he a - deep and continuous milker,.
'shreird dairymen will offer what - may
seem to many , ,,farmers an almost fab-:
nlous price. They can well afford to
Flo so; Tire cheapest native cows I
e'er knew, were two which my fath--
cr bought years and years ag o, pay,'
lag the seemingly extortionate' price.
of $99 for one, and $lOO for the oth
cr. One was four and the other five
• years old. They proved to be really
remirkable milkers, holding to their
milk• through the year. One time!,
one of the cows was I(by mistake)
7u liked till -the day shecalved. 'Ursa:
Idly a rest of three to five weeks was
given without milking; The heifer
calves of these cows ,were all good
milkers, and Most of them kept up
the supply of milk till .near calving.
Of suck cows I need' hardly - say that
the calves should all be raised, unless I
cry evidently 'inferior.
It costs a little more to keep al,
_ good milking cow than a, poor one.'
The difference in product is some
imes enough in a single *year to pay
the price of a good cow, rather* than
tin accept a poor ,milker as a gift:
The time that a cow ;will go" dry is
often tynatte.r of great importance;
.Some cows which yi b 1 a ,fair mess
at first will not-milk more than six
or seven months per year.. ,Such a
cow is scarcely worth owning, except
to fatten for :beef. The., length cif
. time .a cow may be. milked depends
' much on previous mana g ement. If
n heifer is milked a ft er h er first calf
as !Ong as possible, and has good
• milk-producing food to stimulate the
flow of milk. she will retainthis
_it through. life. More care should be
: . taken in feeding awl' milking heifers
on this account. Give them roots,
and milk as long as a drop can be
.rot. I like to have' heifers .eome in
the first time when not over two
years old, and. a little younger if pos
. sible.', Then let them go -farrow-sev
.- eral months, so that the . heifer may
get greater.scze, and. also let milk se
cretion run - On as long as possible,
unchecked by a new pregnancy., In
this' ay, if a heifer is naturally a
good milker, she has the best chancc
• to test her eapaUlty, and alio to 'in
- crease it.\
. Much depends on the way a cow
has been kept.. Cows accustomed to
a great variety of food are invariably
‘ , ood'eaters and almost always heavy
• milkers. 'fltusi the best cows in. a.
neighhorhood arc usually those of
poor men whose one cow is made a
pet - sof, and has all sorts of food.
Such cows are usually a good bar
gain at almost any price, though they
. will rarely do_ as well when taken
•
from their own Old homes and..turn
' cd in with the less varied fare ac
corded to larger' herds. Milkmen
• have learned that it is important to
give cows a variety of food. Hence
their purchases of bran, meal, roots,
awl cake. _lt may:not pay farm
' ems to take so much pains, but they,
can promote the thrift of their her&
•._ and their owl profits by • changing
the animal's food as often as possible:

TWO HATO IC THE 11CHL4313 Of BILLDPORD
COMITY-
, MIL EDITOR :—lt was our privilege yes
terday and today, July 2241 and .24,3 d, .to
accompany Superintendent Ryan in his
risitatiotu; at the ichools in our county.
The townships visited, Orwell and
rich, are probabliseeond to none in the
county in interest in education. Owing
to the fact that many of the summer
schools bad dosed, we were obliged to
drive about lifty-live miles to reach the
seven Schools visited.
Many of the school houses were new,
and on the outside presented a neat. ap
pearance. On the inside the esrnditure
of a few dollars would have wonderfully
fully improved them. In a large part of
them the plaster was off in many places,
the wood work was thinly painted with
poor paint, and the walls smoked and
black overhead. A coat of whitewashing
above, a l4jtle repairing' of walls on the
sides. and% few rolls of neat paper,cai : &
fully spread with one or two coats of good
paint would , render the interiors . of the
buildings qiiite pleasant. The expense
would probably be from five to ten dollars
per house. Another improvement in two
of the buildings would be to extend the
lowja; tarts of the blackboards until they
were within the reach of, the younger
scholars. In one building we found the
blinds faSyned by rails propped against
them froina neighboring fence, the sas '
out and the building, so dilapidated th t
at first we passed it as abandoned.
The teachers in most cases were youtg
and inexperienced. Nearly every one,
however, seemed anxious to do well and
receive the suggestions offered, and the
criticisms•made in a spirit that argued'
well (011ie future. Indeed, in the •
of nearly every one of the younger teach
ers the needful thing seemed to be that
they should learn how to do. The Visits
of the Superintendent cannot result oth
erswise than in good. the first school
visited, although the teacher was teach
ing the last week of a term of three
months, not a word had been written by •
One- of the pupils. In one school six class
es were found in Geography, in another
small school five classes in written arith
metic. In both of these a lack of proper
classification wys seriously interfering
with the efficiency of the schools. Anoth
er great improvement in mbst of the
schools would be to have the primary
_
cashes read more often, and for a shorter.
period. In a school of a dozen scholars
twice a day is not enough practice for a
,class in the primer. Our teachers need to
dear,' much in methods, and to be very
'thorough in first principles. Students arc
out of their ph,ces in the middle of the
Arithmetic Who can neither read nor
write numbericcorrectly.
Much that we found was quite gratify
ing. , In the school taught by Mist Martha
J. Brown, we were pleased to see outlibe
mai l s fastened around the room and jute!.
ligeutly used by the pupils. 'Many trot
toes, the property of the teacher, gave a
pleasant appearance to the otherwise bar-
reu wars. In Miss Kate :Norton's school
we were pleased tki find eight out. of the
twelve pupils organized in a class in oral
grammar. They,were learning the defini
tions of the. parts of speech, with some of
tbe•simPler modifications. This is a step
in the right direction. If the teacher only
accompanies this with an abundance of il
lustrative exercises written by the stu
dents theinsehies, and corrected by class
and te.aelfer,' excellent results may be se
cured. The Superintendent assured us
this was the first class r found in Oral
Grammar awing his visitations. The last
school - visited , wax that of Miss Mitten in
the Landon district.. The teaching in this
school is shown by the thoroughness- of
the stndents iti what we examined them,
would have done credit tti any primary
school in the county. Hero we found a
class of ten studying in primary grammar
who not only recited definitions correctly,
but illustrated them readq on the board.
by sentences which were written, spelledj
and liunctuated correctly.
In .elosing these harried•notes we would
urge all parents add friends of education
to jute heartily with the Superintendenti
to hicrease the efficiency Of our district
schobbi. Good, thorough f upervision will:
show a good advance in the character of
the school and teaelwrs before the close of
the term of the present superintendency.
It is showing itself already in the nuinber
desiring to go when they may better qual-•
ify themselves for their work. Let your
Directors now encourage those teachers
whokare preparing themselves thoroughly
or, who are already prepared and etiperi
enced, by increasing their pay,. and by
making a difference between those who
kap school, and those whom the directors
know by experience and by their record
can tearlt school. E. E. Qth2SLAN.

AN OPEN LETTER TO TEACHERS.
'Criticism will constantly be directed to-
Wards those who direct others.• The con
stant question will 1:43. asked, "Are they
themselves what they wish others tor, be-.
come?!' This judgment causes More
teachers to fail than the examination
bench. The motives that bring so many
to the school-room are shill:ly temporary ;
•they teach for convenience—it is the easi
est occupation ; as if John or Peter wok
•to "teach all nations because that was
the most convenient and handy way to
get a living " But whatever brings
man or woman into' the school-room, he
intuit not stay there-if he find his spirit
is against the spirit of the place ;or rather
if his spirit Is hot with the occupations
those undertaken.
But how, the teacher asks, shalkl bruin.
myself to . love :this occupation Which has
so many unpleaSant features about. It? It
is to answer f.his we write. The-work of
teaching is many-sided. It Is a good and
noble and not unpleasant work. Some
men and women are doing it as Angelo
painted ; some ,are doing it hideously ;
they go to jtsJ like galley slave, scourged
to his dungeon." They bate it, and seize
on any crease to leave it. Offer them a
penny a day more and they quit it, with;
out snapping a single tie; for there were
.no tics binding,them to it. •

WHAT - IS IT—IR A WORD THAT A
TEACHER NEtns To -Kigow ?—"l wish,"
said a lady friend and teacher to me to
day, "you would tell me :chat you would
do in Sehool—hom you would manace."
"I Cannot tell you," I replied ; " I could
not till the occasion arose, what, I should
do." What ,a teacher needs to know, is'
the laws by which the mind and tody are.
governed. Ile needs to understand every
Faculty, just as we understand different
species of plants. Ile needs to know what
each Faculty is. what its office and func
tions are, and what it takes delight in do
ing. lie needs then to know the laws
which govern all : As, that like excites
like; activity strengthens 'and inactivity
weakens each Faculty ; that the Faculty
which is the strongest; whether by nature
or cultivation, governs the 'rest, awl thus
determines the .character, etc.l etc: In
:addition to this he needs to have practical
Phrenology . enough at command, tO ena
ble him to determine the exact balance of
Faculties,_and thus to know the leading
or controlling elements of each scholar,
his capabilities, and his main character
istics. Thus fitted, the Teacher has what
lie needs, and is indispensable, to wit :
Whatever . he does in fichool, to ono or to
all, he knows_ why he does it. He is cer
tain, what the result will be; just as cer
tain as he would be of the act of holding
his finger in the blaze of a candle. This
\is what-the needs to know. Then the
\question, iii every case, as to wheth4 he
khan do this.or do that, Is to be decided
by the end he wishes to gain. He says to
himself; if I do this, such will be the re
sult ; if that, so-anlo will result ;
of 'these do I wish to \ piing about? The
instant that is determined, he knows what
to do : just as in chemistry, a third article
is ptoduced by the combination of two`
otbeis. This is precisely whit a teacher,
in thetirst place, needs to knoir,,
Vocal. Mestc.—This subject has, been
discussed in educational meetings more or
less for w few years, and not without good
results. Many of the teachers have learti=,
eel by these discussions that it 'is possible
to introduce-vocal music in the common'
school, andfhave gone home and tried the
experiment, and have succeeded in crea
ing an interest in it and report the suc
cess, and of the beneficial effect on schol
ars and school., Some of the difficulties
in teaching music when the teacher can
net sing—has been answered at the Asso
ciations, and we will - not give them here.
We to urge the teachers of the
county to give it a trial during their next
term-. J)o not denounce it and say . it can't
be,done, tintil you have tried it. If you
begin right, yoti will have no - trouble in
getting your scholars interested in sing
tug, and when 'you have done this the
hardest of your work.is done.
Iregiu by teaching your pupils to sing
sOme easy. lit tie; song.. When there is any
rkligioits prejudice, avoid any thing that
would tend to' inder you in your singing.
There is much moresinging in the ru
ral schools that tecro has been, and we
are anai6us to.sce it in every school in the
county:
