The August number of the Nation.
ql . Lire Stock Journal has an • excel ! :
lent - article on thi's subject, which we
reproduce as follows:,
The " crisis" which has involved
business affairs gene-rally, has reach
ed the breeders of Short-Horns as
well as .Of .other classes of stock ; and:
his, perltaps, will do no damage, but
rather good, in the end. Shoralom
breeders will now have time to study
the true cud and aim of their busi
ness—to find the real foundation of
the value of Short-Horns. The trot-
ter inust be judged on an entirely
different basis from the draft-horse;
it is not .weight and heavy moving
rower that is wanted, but suppleness
and 'great-Tower of muscle; and the
"Short-Born, as the most perfect type
of the Ipvine face; must be judged
on the sane pritieipleS t of utility as
any Wiwi' breed. It is true .that, as
the most perfect type, it has its chid
z;resent value as the improver of the
common eattic . of, the vountry, and
this oi::.es-iten exceptional and great
ly enhanced value ; yet its solid. and.
pbraianent basis- if valile must de
pendnpob its capacity to produce
milk and beef. Its ancient pedigree
is of value only so far as it assures
an eminent capacity to this end, of
producing milk and beef most;eco
It . must be judged simp
ly from this practical standard. If
it bz; estimated from the beef stand
and only, more than half its real val
ue is gone. The successful breeding
power:of a race is largely dependent
upon its capacity - to secrete milk.
Short-Horn breeders have
.ustially
acted upon the opposite principle=
sought to repress,the milk secretions
aiid turn tike whole activity of - the
system itiO the laying-on of flesh,
and the deposit of-fat. l'hat -the or
iginal Short-Horns Were deep milk- -
ers there is abundadt proof, and it is
very unfortunate fur the usefulness
of the race that this aptitude has
been repressed.
Every Consideration of-public and
private interest. requires that Short
horn breeders should seek to - restore
the 'deep-milking quality of the race.
To show how short-sighted was thiti
bretklingout of milk and breeding in
of excessive fat, it is only necessary
to,refer tb thelfelattye value of the
dairy imd beef produet of the' coma
_
try. •, •
The beef-product each year repre
sents about 5,000,000 head, of all
classes, and may be considered as
having , an average ' home $4O per
-her head, or $:210,000,000. The
butter nod cheese product alone rep
resents at - least $:200,000,000, and . ,
milk consumed as food has often been
estimated at $1,000,000 to $150,00,-
nen. The %hole dairy product was .
estimated by Commissioner Wells,
in 18-'9, after deducting the - products
consumed on the farm, at $400,000,-
taio. There certainly can be no
doubt that the milk crop of the coun
try its‘considerablyt greater in value
than the beef -crop. Shall we-- then
rep`ress and gradually eliminate from
this grand race of cattle the most im
portant and the. -most permanently
prolititble natoral characteristic.?
The Short Horn. is capable of lead
ing in milk prodliction as well as in
that of meat., Is milk in an improv
ed beef race unw •rthy of considera
tion ? `Let us examine the compara
tive profit of a deep milker from her
calves and from her milk. We will
estimate the calves as steers reareik.
and fed for beef, for this is the prac
•tiealk.of profit when the breed is esti
mated'asa simple producer. Many
. Short-llorn cows have each produced
7.090 10 10,0 i 0 pounds of milk in" a
year; and it is not extravagant to
say, that they may be so bred that
pounds ; ) sh it be an average
production of milk. The value of
this cannot be estimated at less than,
SsO per year: Likely Short-Horn
biters, at 30 months'old, should aver
age 1,00 pounds. We will estimate
this steer at six cents, or $96,; - amid
breeding every year, there will be
another,steer 18 Months old, and a
calf six months old. Estimating the
former.at $OO and the latter at $3O,
we have her calves worth, in 30
months; $186; and her milk, during
this two years and a half, is worth
Is2oo. This is estimatina - b the value
*of her calves as beef at ahigher rate
than her milk, add • yet the milk
brings the most money. It is to be
noted also, that thiTed'st of keepimig
these ealVes is more than the keeping
of the cow, showing a still greater
balance in favor of the milk. We
present thisl very practical view . of
the question, that bleeders may see
, that.economy is all on the side of
milk produ tion. Ultimately, even
the Short-Hord muSqcome to the
test of eounnon u_ility,- - and this will
• show what may be done on that bed
rbck plane. ••
But we Must not forget thitt the
priheinal present -value of -Short
. Ilorntkis an improverof our common
' stockAind that th6y are mostly need-
. «I to raise thoroughbred males-,for
purpose. But, as we said, when
' merely from the standard ofl
thing value, every interest of the
LreetWr requites that he should sum
ulat,2 the milk secretion; and not re-
press it They will -be surer breeders,
and the calves more valuable for .it.
It must ee remembered -that one of
the strongest reasons offered for not
u , ing Short-horn hulls for dairy .
cows has been that the dams of these
balls are not , Azood milkers, nd there
fore-these bulls will not propagate
- gq,A milkers. And *hen .we remcm,
bur, altio 4 that 8,000,0,-0 cows are,
us«l specially- for the dairy, - we see
the powerful influence that this mils;
take of repr6sing the milk secretiori
ui Sitort:Horn cows has had in shut
tiog- out this breed as improvers of
our. dairy.' This inexthisable blunder
should he atoned R.0,_,%s soon as pos-.
As dairying widens its territory,
and stretches across the continent to
the Pacific; it is easy to see that dais.
t• men 'are to be our future beef-pro
ducters and thus every .motive will
induce theusing of bulls. of the best
reef-producing breed, if.it he, also a
good milk-producing breed.
- 31 ilk production is no hindrnce
to the highest form of pedigree breed
ing, and to the most: perfect c.,evglop
ment.of.the animal;—it is only I op
posed to that over-fat condition which
is not to be, desired in any breedibg

TEACHERS' ASSOCIATIOI
The feliowing questions-will be report..
ed by the Committee on Resolutions at
the net meeting of the County Teachers'
Assomation
1. Resolved. That in our rural schools
all studies of a higher grade than those in
which the law requires teachers to be ex
amined should be taught outside of regn
lar'shool boars, unless otherwise ordered
by - directors, or taught as a general exer
ciser for the whole school.
2. Resolved, That the best interest' of
our public schools demand a careful revi
sion of ourschoollaw.
3. Resolved, That there Should 1 / 4 , a re
citation or exercise in composition in nor
public schools, at least once every week.
4. Resolved, That this Association ear
nestly advise directort to grade the salaries
of teachers according to their success in
teaching, and their-scholarship as shown
iu their certificates.
5.-Beiolred, That as an encouragement
to teachers to prepare themselves better
for their professions, and as au aid to di-,
rectors of graded and higher schools in
the selection ,of competent teachers, this
:Associationadvisc that the Superintedent
have special examinations in studies of
higher grades than those required by law
and that lie Word the results on the cer
tificates of the applicants.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—lf I understand the
drift of the article in your issue of Octo
ber 24th ingt.,—heided "No le Wools"
—it'advocates a wrong principle, and in
some respects is openlo criticism.
That a school, college, or charity is un
der sectarian management or control, is
to my mind a good -reason, for without
hOlding public support, sectarian institu
tions should be supported only by the
private funds of sections. The organib
law of Pennsylvania was constructed ,in
accordance with this principle. (See Con
stitution of Pennsylvania, Article 3d, Sec
tion 18.
The "Noble Words," like many others
from the same source are tnisty. If they
mean that the public funds should be used
to support Presbyterian, Baptist, Metho
dist, or Roman Catholic institu ions—
however good these may be in themselves
--they,tuean mischief.
• If,- on the other hand, they mean that
it is Wrong to withhold public support
from these institutions, mostly bbcatik,
there are fectariaus among their teadhers
and managers, why then the words are
true; but they are withOui point or prac-
tical , application, au nobody ever gave .
such a reason for debarring any school,
college or charity - from public support.
.16 a literary light these "noble words" .
are very redundant. The sentence "-To
refuse aid," etc.—beginning in the sev
enth line of the article—is repeated in the
Paragraph which. follows, without the ad
dition of a single thought, but loaded
down with twice as many "noble.words."
The. Educational Department of a paper
so extensively read as is the REPORTER,
should contain none but the soundest mor
al, social and political doctrines. It
should also be a mMel of literary excel
, lence though I am apprehensive that the
enforcement of thispst rule w4ll exclude
me ftom your coluirins.
I congratulate yen on the good already
accomplished in Br' lord County through
your labors. Wishing you more abuntl.
ant: - sudcess in your worthy endeavors;
and hoping you will pardon the freedom
of my eciticisms, I remain -
Yours truly,
Troy, Oct. 23, 1878. , E. 0. TRACY
WISE IGNOItANCE.—We have on several
occasions been called - Upon to listen
. to
sonikvery decided remarks, madely per
sons in other professions, and addressed
to teachers. If we could have our way
on this subject, we would suggest to such
individuals that there was once a man
who made a great fortune by-minding his
own business. We are acquainted with a
prominent lawyer. who has never taught
sea hour4n his life, and yet 4 t , hiolut he
Ittiews more 'about teaching than nine
tenths of those who have taught twenty
five years. This same man is always ready
tiiraddress institutes and schools, giving
ekcellent advice in. a paternal sort or way,
on a subject r of which he knows nothing.
Still if it does him any good let hini talk.
Ilut'not all the brass and ignorance in
this world is found outside the teaching
profession, for !there are black. sheep
among teachers, who have large heads,
'small brain;, and a living and .growing
.thrire to advise their brethren. They are
always ready to talk, whether it be on
Greek roots, or alli4ation alternate, and
it is discnuraging.and humiliating to find:
how few teachers there are who can see
through . the flimsy -covering that hides
the of seal perions. The world
has been vexed with these educational
humbugs long enough. Would that some
thing could come up -to attract their at
tention in some other wa3 ! • Would they
cvld get themselves out of the way
EtleirFational 3 onthly.
VF.N .ATION.—We may not believe it,
but it is a fact nevertheless, that we take
better erre -of our Criminals than we do of
our school children. at least as far as pure
air is concerned. The air in several school
rooms:in New York, on. examination, av
eraged twenty parts of carbonic acid in
10,000, while the air in the prison averag
ed only 14.7 1;31-Ls. It is said that misery
loves company ;ifit be true, we do not
lack friends in this cause, for the follow
ing Nets, taken from an English paper,
show that at this,time, there are, even in
England, places still in the dark, and pco- .
plc not far removed from barbarism, as
viidl as in this enlightened America : A
young lady:who had been engaged as a
teacher in the bo .rding-school ;at North_
D 4 von, found that, besides tweno girls.
there were.thirty boys it. the school. All
.the boys slept iu one room, the .capacity
of which was not enough for five. The
youug.lady bad to make the beds in the
boys' dormitory, which was the only place
they had for washing ; and, as there were
only four basins, half of them often went
down dirty.- The sheets were only chang
tWiee in one-half year, and, when mea
sles and other illnesses occurred, no doc
tor wakealled in. The, young teacher had
to sleep in the same bed with four others,
and when an infectious disease broke out
they all caught it. Several pupils carried
the infection to. their homes. Although
the household consisted of seventy per
sons, ohly one female servant was kept,
and sometimes there was - no servant at all.

CARBONIC ACIDN PGA . NTB.-It has long
be. n known that the green parts of plants
are able in,sunlight to decompose carbon
ic 'kid, and absorb the carbon. To decide
the question whether plants can take up
carbon in any way except through their
leaves, .1. W. Mull undertook a series of
experiments, which led to the following
res lilts.' Leaves and parts of plants kept
continually in a place - free from carbonic
ac:'l never form any perceptible quantity
of starch, even if in. immediate -contact,
by any over, or underground - Out of the
plant, with an atmosphere much .richer in
carbonic acid than in the air. Hence the
excess of carbonic acid that is at the. dig;
posal of portion you choose of a plant,
neief causes the.produetion of a sensible
quantity of starch in a. leaf or part of leaf
united .to it, if the leaf is kept in a space
free from carbonic acid. The formation
of starch in a leaf in open air, its not has
tened when any other part of the -same
plant is in a place containing More car
bonic acid than the atmospheridair. The
carbonic acid at the disposal of the roots
of a plant, iu the Soil, neither causes the
formation of starch in a leaf excluded
from carbonic acid, nor perceptibly has
ten.; it in those in the open air.
FACTS ABOUT VENTILATION...—The av
eralo pupil vitiates .08 per cent., or in 10.
85 en. ft.. of air in one minute. In ten
minutes he will require 108.5 en: ft.,
and in twenty minutes, 209 cu. ft., The
entire air in every school=room should be
changed six times'an hour, or every
,ten
minutes. It is not fit tar human beings
to breathe unless it. is changed at least
three times every hour, or every twenty
minutes. The best accidental ventilation
changes the air four times an hour. There
is a difference of opinion as to the per
cent. of carbonic acid that may be habitu
ally brt:athed without apparent injury.
No authority allows . . more than .08 per
cent., but may regard this quantity as in
jurious. Mr that has been once in a
healthy lung.contains froin three- to five
per cent. of carbonic acid, and in such air
a candle will tutt burn. pne per cent. in
the air is beyond the limit of ordinary en
durince, and one-tenth of this amount
• soon makes itself felt by persons whose
sensibilities have not been blunted.
