I wish ,the reader to understand that there is no guess work about this, for the account was kept regularly -with the wheat and the 'work charged as it was done., The wheat has all been .weighed but Thirteen sacks, which we kept for seed, and we estimated them at just what the others ; averaged, and our • sacks--were all 'filled alike, four half bushels. thresher's , measure, in each . one. I have measured •the land with a surveyor's chain, and find that what I- called the six-acre field, mews , tires six' and five-eight acres. My estimates , of, the cost of the .two 'acres was $30.40, and 'of the largef field $77 , ;bot as - there is lite eighths of-an acre more than I had supposed, I will add $5 to cover the extra-expenses. and $3 for hauling to the mill (one and(a half miles)-where " I ‘sold it. The' expense of this wheat crop is as follows : Two-acre geld. as previously reported. fl and five-eightli, acres Mulling to the atilt SEM Ml=M=M== Net proSt I have made no charge for hauling anti. for the reason -that the straw is worth far more than this cost. 1 es timate that I have fifteen tons of straw, and the „cost for hauling, stacking and threshing is as folloWs: 'in d:/ntotts and leant Wltil boy on stack two Oar. t A s.no 9'1:1 - C- Itit.g. :tan Inittels at Lents pen:londiel.. 11.7.0 Nilo. c!..1 ra hands bait a day at $1.25 per day.. 5.62 ]Lard, ~•tetdcon meal, at 2, runts 4.25 ',Wood for unglull 1.00 This would only make' the • straw cost about s2,,per ton; and I certain- . tainly would. not sell it for double that money.

PASTURE AND FEEDING .GRASSES Good crops of, grass are very desira ble to all farmers who deppnd upon dairying or feeding cattle as a spe. particUlarly the former. The best and most desirable grass in ad dition to red clover and timothy is Kentucky blue grass. In order to Itaye_the latter in . profusion, the ground properly ptepared and - tycli manured mid sown with wheat abotit the middle of: September, sho'uld be . sown with timothy . at the rate of from six to ten quarts of seed per " acre, and the,following spring an ad ' Aition of four . to six quarts of red 'cloer per acre.. The red clover is • the greatest root fertilizer of: any of our plants or grass - es. The roots of a well-sgt acre of clover contain one . Vhundred _awl eighty-five pounds of nitrogen, , t wo hundred and forty, pounds of lime, fortylfive of 'magne sia, seventy-five of ,potash r nineteen pounds of soda, twenty'-four of ;lul ' phur, and seventy pounds of phos ,- phonic acid, on which the timothy and other grasseS are luxuriating. The white clover and green grass of ten have much company, as a , Oeat number of grasses may .sometimes be occupying the same ground. In low, moist grounds, herds' grass br red p.) in the, absence of good drainage. may, be sown to advantage, and. in some rare places by very rich soil, orchard grass might meet with favor if thickly sown. ,In order to ,make up for a deficiency of the 'hay crop the Hungarian . grass is . a Valnahle substitute. .The grass, if sown in good. well prepared soil, in about fifty days make from trio to ethree tons per acre .of 6xcellent bay;-.4f pro perly cured without rain, that will be eaten 7 - reedily by horses and cattle, but should you be so unfortunate as to have it wet once or twice, while cur ing. its good' qualities will be Very much impaired ; much more so than 3 ( To)) of '_impth. or oilier gtasses l yet nll kinds are seriously injured by be jng wet zsliile baring the moisture evaporated.—J.

METHODS OP CONDI:WITS* RECITATIONS.- , NO. 11. DS J. 'BALDWIN, Principal of _the..State Normal School, ,Mtssouri. % mixon 31ETI1ODS OR EXPEDIENTS The four great methods previously dis cussed, evidently cover al) the ground. These are i the methods used by all effi cient, instructors. But 'there are various other expedients used by skillful teachers, which we• may call minor ny.thodx; Of . these we call attention to the following : I. • Papgrting Method. Students make full reports-on subjects assigned. These reports occupy a part of the recitation. They should' not be too long nor too fre quent, nor must they supplant the regular work. They furnish extra work'fOr bright pupils, and tend to relieve ineqUities: in classification. 11: The Diagram. Method. The out : line of the subject is presented in one con nected view. pupils are thus twined. to fully grasp the subject examined. As parts of wholes, each 'tpie. is Vetter un derstood. Memory is greatly aided by this-systematic and logical arr4gement. The power of exhaustive analysisds inval uable. CM ~A aim ,N 5.10 Tribe4in with diagrams, , to teach dia. t granis,..and to depend upon diagrams, are tiernicieus educational errors. But if rightly used, are of great value. Subjects must first be presented synthetically. We begin with the concrete, and work up to classes, definitions, rules, and principles. So Nit must begin with particidars, and work up to diagrams. .111. The Reciprocal Method. Members of sections-recite to each other. The class is divided into sections of two or more each. At the signal, "Ones," the ones recite to the other members of the section. So with the twos, and so on. With class es of every grade, this method may be oc casionally used to great advantage. IV. The Concert Method. The mem bers of a section or of the entire class an swer together. To overcome timidity, to quicken the interest, or to fix a fact, this method may be used ,sparingly. With young pupils, abbut one-fourth of the re citation may. be conducted in this way. In oral instruction it may be used', to a limited-extent, to great advantage. ' By the use of the concert method, "fuss and feather" teachers make a great giunt , of work, but the ,results are not credita ble. Pupils must be reached individually. lii'reading especially, this method is like ly. to be pernicious. Use it-sparingly. V. The • Writing Method. Whatever plan may be.pursued, much written work should be required. The board. , the slate, and the paper, are important , : bducational means, and should•be fully utilized. The f insipid and' overet - itive teacher who shrinks from alittfe rayon:dust, and the life * arid hum of avigorou's recitation, should be speedily piomoted. The class room is no place for the nervous, the fussy, or the invalid. , To awaken the in 'terest and direct the, energies of youth, nquires enthusiasm, power, energy and work. * - V -I. The -- Pronis,lvoig Molted. The teacher propounds a question, or names a topic for discussion. All think, and each pupil capable of grappling with the ques ! thin raises his hand. Each one expects titi be called on at any momentoluring the recitation. In this way the. fixed atten tion of cach.member of the class is settir -cd-and held. SileullS , Or otherwise, alt the work is done by each, EI.II{(INEOUS AND ANTIqUATIeD NIETHODs. Their name is legion. • They include ev ery absurd -plan, from that of the !Ad " schoolmaster " who heard his pupils one by one. dOwn to the modern "school marm " who teaches her pupils to sing geography. Farmers have laid aside wooden mold-board ploughs, and mechan ics have "ceased to use pod-augers, but teacherreare slow to (give qv the most faulty and absurd Methods. The pOOO/ teacher is generally a slave to these. The progres;iie . teacher builds upon the expe rience of the race. lie studies to become. the master of methods, and discards what ever violates educational principles The - following are samples of the methods re veferre,d to : I. The Parrq 31.ctiod. The pupil com-_ mlts the lesson to memory, and recites it rerbatim. The school keeper simply hears the recitation. Of all methods, this is the worst. It stultifies reason; and makes of _the pupil little more thlrn a parrot. Chi na, under the spell of this method, has sluMbered for ..2.000 years. this false method, whole classes of 'schools 'in this country and Europe arc rendered Clogs to. human progress. n. Thc courqi‘oi and A hslrer Met hod. The school teacher reads the 'questions ! fr'on the book, and the pupil answers in the la -f.mage of the book.- Another lesson is . assigned, and the class dismissed. There is no instruction. no thought, no growth but simply 'an exercise of motto ry. This is one of the worst forms of the parrot method. Though still'much used, it deserves the i severest i coodetimation of all educators. r.lt is a product of the dark ages, when dui principles of human devel opment were not understood. 111. The Co fisectaire Method.' Pupils 'are called on as they stand or sit, fn• in the orderin which the names are written. This method, together With having a hemd to the claSs, turniug down, giving prizes. ete., are 1 1 ,y intelligent teachers wisely laid away with the mummies of the past. In the 'far-oir rural districts, not yet readi ed by_ the spirit of progress, we may even now occasionally find 'Rip Van Winkles yet unawakened, fuss•is yele'pt Locher'', still .using these erroneous, antiquated, and fearfully injurious methods. The art-of teaching is based on the sci ence of education. In view of the infinite interests involved, how profoundly we onght to stady the imn_ortal being com mitted to our guidance ! We ought to makter the laws of human development, and become familiar with the means of human culture. Then will we be able with certainty to apply educational means to,educational ends, in accordance with educational principles. . Then will our methods be necessarily good, because founded in law„ Then will we be able to produce results, of the grandeur of Which the mass oflour teachers scarcely dream. been long impressed with the importance of local societies for, scientific work. Such are rapidly increasing in Great Britain and he'r colonies, and have the active liuppcirt ,and countenance of all wirking naturalis'ts. The practical ad- Vantages of such associations are obvious. They bring - logether persona of the same pursuits in life, seekers after truth, to whom it is!of interest to know what is be ing accomplished by others. • Mutual dis cussion atiMys makes smooth the rough Places.. Each one has, something to say or show which has escaped the °them Personal characteristics, toe, lead each in to more or less special fields. While there .is a ciiviiioilof labor in .the society, the result is, harmonious. Suchorganizations may, also, "do the State some service," by preparing accurate lists of the faunal and flora of the minerals and fossils or a \ dist ict ; by instituting meterorological Aso ations, and in many other Ways. Local ltalogues, when well prepared, are always 0 great value, and their 'prepara \ tion is •a , ended with_ much pleasure.' They lead o , e to the woods, the sea-shore, or the bills, ' search . of spechnens . . or facts, - and give hn the pure air of heavep, which he almost lways "needs. To teach ers, especially, scie title clubs are import ant. Methods of to lung may be deduced from them,—health mild happiness,gained by them. Ourlives are, in their nature, and unavoidably, sedenta .. We should hail any legitimate iecreati n which leads us out of doors.

Modesty is one of the primal lessons in a local so ciety. One soon finds the others are as good, if not better, than he.' It is well for him, even, to acknowledge them better, if suqt is the truth ; he may in time take a higheuettt. fleparlment If thew remarks will lead teachers, here and there throughout our 'land, to com bine as co-workers in any department of science, and keep a record of their work,. we will be gratified. The societies move of themselves, when'once the impetns, is given. Euthusiasth is this motive-power required. " LESS TAidl AND MORE . & r.—The —The teachers of the present day, speaking of them generally, talk too - muelt. The time has been when. teachers talked to little. The routine, of instzuction was run in cast-iron moulds: To assign lessons in text-books, and hear them recited, ex hausted the ordinary demands on a reach er's powers. This cold, unintelligent rote work, finally induced a resolute, reaction. The teachers were minded,as the point is expressed in the 'New Bedford Manual, that ".1 prominent difficulty in schools it that the scholars do not know hOw to study. They do not know how to analyze state ments, find : 6A definitions, apply princi ples, obtain illustrations. Therefore it is octet; more important for a teacher to stn.- . s ily a lesson with,the scholars, than to Way it recited after it has been studied. Such \ a method, the teacher leading the sch o hl ts on step by 'step, exciting their minds fo, work earnestly, but preventing any groping in the dark, is so valuable that it is specially enjoined upon the teach ers.''-• He 7 ' l 7 ' l\ P.

Superin tendent seh , )ols,\Neit Redford, 3folle. flow 'co STIMUI:),TF: -PUPILS 70 IlitAn. —One way to stimulate pupils to read is this : Every Friday affernoon, in connec tion with-other literary exercises, call up on each scholar to tell to the school some thing that will be worth listeting to and remembering. In this way `a , " skillful teacher will soon have it reading\scliool. And what is read in this way wil) be re membered, as eve always remember ittbat We read to tell to somebody else. This ,exereise has nearly all the arguments hi` its favor thatcan be used in behalf of de clamation or recitation, and sonic import ant a ddit ional ones. It encorages genetial reading, and it gives pupils practice in e7,--s -pressing thOughts in Iheir mrn Itingugapl, two very important points.

And if he is kept as a pun ishment, the - teacher is more. punished than the pupil ; for the two are looking at each other with no kind feeling. Each is tired, nervous, and exhausted. Besides there is physical incapacity in the case, ofttimes. So long a time the mind can be confined and no longer, to one subject, or to sirnit>o \ • subjects. Let the pupil go home at least gointo the fresh air. If the teach er could meet his to-bet-punished pupils after the lapse of an ,hour, and that hour to be sport by eac:i in the open air, some good might result V.
