• A. Stable :With a Parlor
„ .
Following the quirte r eirele•of the
stone roadway we ,come •to the en
trance-of the cow stable, and cross
ing its pOrtalsove are_astoniihed at
the extreme cleanliness' of the in
terior, though we, hate seen enough '
to'make us'anticiPate ranch attention .
to'eanitary: affairs in a model farm.
The air is pure and freSli, the light
invades the .cornermost rafters, and
-the 'horrifying squalor of the ordinary
habitation allowed to the bovine is
superseded by an'ethie.al economy so
admirable that humanitarianism . re
proaches ns and pricks our consoien-
Ws with the contrast between this
.'shelter for ,brutes and, much inferior
accommodations for man in the tene
ments ofliarge cities. The stable is
~.100 feet long and 40 feet wide; it has
stalls for-forty-eight cows; the stalls
are.five feet wide; the Mangers .are
tivioieet wide •, the slanting platforms
upon which the .atiimals stand are
five and a half feet long,!and each
•cow is allowed 900 cubit feet of air
_.space, or more than donble l the usual
quantity. . The two r,ows I of, stalls
areseparated by a longitudinal pass
age.ten feet wide;
,there is . a -trans-.
verse passage: eight. feet wide in the
• centre, and another longitudinal one
• in the rear of each row of 'stalls, by
which the floor is divided into' four
sections.. The sloping platforms of
the 'stalls end in slightly, inclined
getters, from which the maupre pass
es through convenient traps into the
cellar fur storage. The room is light
kl by eighteen large double windows,
openitig at the 'tip and bottom,-and
foq the early 'morning milkings Axed
lathps with brilliant, reflectors are
employed. On the north side there
is! is small • apartment with a , few.
Cle4rs or Stools, ie:marble wash:Stand,
t large mirror, and an amplitude of
towel. Whoever looks into the mir
ror is reminded by an inscription
over it as tonspieuons as his own
image. that ” Handsome is that harid i,
some does." this little room is caller
" the parlor,''. and the reader,es
peeially the:. " prae.,ical farmer "
may be disposedlo cry out agains t
parlor in a stable as an absur d piece
of Utopian extravagance.. It, is in
reality a dressing room, and before
milking-time each man is required to
wasfi ltis face and hands and to brush
his hair, tidiness of person being in
sisted upon. We forgo', to tell that
the floor of tlitharn is dry and sand
ed, and thatthere are no•oilors to of
fend, the daintiest nostrils.. The beds
of the animals are changed every day,
'being formed of dried leaves spread
upon sanded platforms.

. its yield is• separately weighed and
the quantity recorded on a slate,

STORTNO POTATO Es.—Everymeth
od has been tried by farmers to•store
and preserve their potatoes through
the winter, and we 'may say until po
-1,:,t0e: come again. • It - is the most
' valuable of alt vegetables, though
here and there we find a writer who
undertakes • to tell us to the contrary.
But the fact is it is universally. con
sumed- in all civilized countries, and ,
• where it cannot be grown it is im
ported,which can be done long dis
tilbees without injury, when ventila
tion is attended to.
In "storing potatoes several meth
• oils are adopted, yet they are all prae- -
tic'ally the same, the object being to
protect them against freezing, wheth
er buried in pits, or stored in cellars.
. The_ tiiit consideration is to keep
them.in perfect darkness; the nest
•is. the bins should not be too deep--
not .over three feet—to 'produce
warmth and_, cause them to sproutp
When stored' in the field, straight
•
trenches are dug, say' twenty feet in
length and four or five feet wide,
which 'are tilled to the depth - of three
feet with potatoes, then well covered
with straw, on the top Of which put
ei , ;hteen or twenty irches of earth.
In a pit twenty feet long there should
be , three' gas escapes or ventilating.
of ie . :dugs:which should be plugged
.. with Straw and covered with a board
4at angle to turn the rain. If in
cellars. barn or - otherwise, the bins
shOuld be covered with rugs, old ear-.
peting or stwt. Those intended to
be kept for the late springiosales
should'be frequently examined and
all 'sprouts remote('; for as soon as
. •s. potato begins to sprout it loses its
s(!lidity, dryness apd quality.

NOW TO CONDUCT RECITATIONS.
Next in importanc% to the preparation of
the lesson is tho proper method of recit-
ing it..
,Alway give your lesson in such a
way that the iiudent clearly osinderstaffids
what he is to learn. Get a clam:
pooh in which record properly the name
of each class at the top of the page aid
he names of the members of the class be
ow.' The • investment will_ cost from
en to fifteen cents. A time book is well
adapted to thia.purpose. Mark each schol
ar's presence, or absence in this book; also
grade each schidar in every lesson. The
scholars will be anxious to secure a high
grade and crill'work for it. You further
have an honest record to • show' parents
when they ask in regard to the' advance
tient of their Children ; it 7111 aid you al
so, in making out your term or monthly
reports.
t .dive short lessons, and require them
well learned. By degrees teach yoUr stu-
Xents to recite without questions, or by
the topical method of recitation, after they
liaYe recited topically interrogate them. I
Be ve.ry careful to Italie them answer in
grammatical language, and4each them to
ex presS-tl enaselves clearly. I r lave them rise '
to recite. eqUile carefulatention always
during recit tton. prepare yourself for ev
ery class, that\you may explain whatever
is oh?Cu re . and that you may make the reci
tation 'intcresting , Aim to get the most
possible worklout,Of the scholars.. Iu ar
ithmetic, as mtieli a'd ossible, have the
examples writteiLon sli s of paper with
out-answers, and le the lass dral . the

\t,
examples and perform t em from the
slips., In .advancet,Ldasses require the
rules and questions "to be horonlily
learned. In geography'give the most of
your/work to the study of thema, lz"
'many cases the descriptive part sho t
cad in class Carefully and the class in t
rogated or required, to recite the sit
stance of what they have read, as you
would conduct a reading class. The ques
tions up to maps should be thoroughly
learned, and especially latitude and longi- -
tilde should be well understood; they ,are
fiequently poorly c4roprehended. The
teacher himself first, the class afterward
should explain it by diagram. In grain;
mar students should recite by topitx.; an
analysis will aid them greatly iu arriving
to this result. Much writing of illustrative
or key sentences should be required. These
should be corrected by, the class and teach- .
er. In this way much praCtical syntax,
spelling, punctualion and use of capitals
mak be taught.
In reading much time should be given
to the consonant and rowel. sounds, with
keying of the same, and to definitions and
the illustrative passages under emphasis,
inflection, araculation, etc.
In spelling, the advance lesson -every
day should 'be written, if tho students are
old viiough to write,, or print; the same
lesson should be reviewed the "neat day
orally.
Oar own experience is that 'we, secure
the best results using the ; hoye methods.

We have to • much shallow tillage in
schools as 'well as in agriculture. Deep
ploughing- is Often better than , a sprink
ling of plaster or guano upon the surface,
and will reveal the fertility otinanyllelds
which are now supposed to be worthless.
In teaching we are too often :content
with a show of intellectual jewelry,- 7 a
thin wash or Plating upon the surface of
the mind, w! en we 'should strive to have
the whole• intellect a treasury of the, pur
est thoughts. The. child should be taught
to read well from any book or paper, be-
cause he has :mastered the principles of
pronunciation. Instead of this the teach
er is often content to train his scholars in
the fluent delivery of certain poemS,ln or
der to decorate an eihihition. We should
insist upon-such severe study of a few
first prin:ipies that the pupil may always
retain them in the mind, and not cram
our scholars with an. indigestible ;mass of
fa4ts *.o be followed by nausea" nd stupid. ;
ittafterwards. •
It slkiuld be remembered that most peo
ple learn slowly and forget easily. A win
ciple should be memorized and reeitedun
til it is stamped into the mind. A motto
printed upon marble 31111 soon wear, off,
but when chiseled int the solid shaft it
will outlast the wear of centuries. The
teacher may learn much of the patient
sculptor as he 'slowly and thoroughly per
forms his wok. Fine engraving or sculls.
ture in the sdhools will endure longer than
.the hasty danbs made by the snperfiicial
teacher.
In training the reasoning_ powers, a
principle should be stated illustrated and
discussed until the pupil comprehends it.
If one recitation be not sufficient take
two, six or twenty. And if we find at any
time that a pupil has forgotten a rule, or
fails to see the relation between two con-,
nected propositiens,- we should send , hint
back to axioms or first principles. One
book in Geometry, slowly studied, is a
better drill to the intellectual powers,
than a half dozen run over because they
are set down in the course.
Another.reason why! insist npon teach
ng a few principles thoroughly, arises
from the fact,. that in this day each sci
ence is illustrated by large gloSsaries of
facts and vast tomes of ernctitioh, and we
are tempted to undertake the impossible
task of teaching The whole science in
twelve lessons or twelve weekS, and so
fail of everti.h_ing. A miner may sift a
few g rains , of gold from the. Rocky Noun-,
tairs, but he will certainly fail if he nn:
dertakes.to scoop up the whole Mountain
range. The fundamental trnth's of any
science are few while the attending facts.
and applications are numberless. - If a
scholar master a few rules, he may con
quer at will the examples which crowd an
octave volume. The vast stores of knowl
ledgei which have - been accumulating
through the ages cannot be exhausted by
our short courses of study. Neither can

SPELLING REFORM MKUTIO
At its annual meeting held - July llth,-
at the White Mountains, this association
passed the following preamble and resolu-
tibus 1
WitgitEss, Within memory of the pres
ent generation the superfluous letter k
II MR been dropped from such words as mu
sic, pubiie, , ete.
&Rolled, That authors, and the press
generally, are , hereby - earnestly solicited
to further all the cause of spelling reforest
by writing and printing the words hay,
pie, and lie, without the silent e. . •
This is, of coarse, designed to be pre-
litninary to other ' , and more important
changer. They also: •
Resolved, That teachers are invited to
give their help to the Spelling Reform by
omitting to mark agienst - ; their pupils as
errors the writing of the words hay, gio,
and /iv, without the silent e.
The - reason for the omission of the si
lent e in these- words will be understood
by all. A finale indicates a long precede
ing vowel, as in hate, file, etc., so that
with the present spelling have, give, and
live, would properly be pronounced with
long a and 1. •
It may occur to some to inquire . how
the common spelling of these and similar
words was introduces' originally and what
office the final e ever had in these cases.
The explanation is this, when, the letters
and u were written and printed with
only one character; this character had the
sound of a in the end of a word.
The spellings hau../iu, ton, etc., wimid
be - liable to be read haw, lieu, and Zoo, or
cr low (as in •note). With the introduc:
tion of a new letter to disttnguish - the o
from thee, this spelling , was no longer
necessary, and the final is became not
merely useless but vexations and mislead
ing. It is high time that it vas dropped
not in these words alone, but.in all simi-
ar cases,,_ as in tar, 121000; proo, - for tor,
mope, pr'im
The American Philological Association
at its law meeting, also recommended
.a
practical departure in the new.. spelling,
by recommending the re-Spelling of ten
words, a;e, catalogue, - guard, though,
through, ;fished, etc., making the new or
thography, ar, catalog, gard, tho; thru,
ivied, refresh!, giv, Ik, hay. - •
These suggestions and recommenda
tions are good. Let every editor adopt
them, and every publisher. If ten words.
are too many, take three, and if three are
thought to be too many to start- with, let
t 6 editor adopt Mr. Parkhnrst's suggefi
tio and concentrate the effort on the one
