Oaliwiry, Uses for Leaves.
!An!.English• writes, calling atten
tieti tea - much neglected source of
of culinary flavors, says:
" With the exception of sweet and
bitter herbs,
,grown; chiefly .for the
purpose, and parsley. which is nei
ther•bitter nor sweet, but the most
popular of all flavoring plants, com
paratively few other leaves are used.
Perhaps 1 ought also except the
sweet bay, which is popular in rice
and• otber puddings, and certainty
imparts one of the'most pleasant and
exquisite flavors; but, on', the other
hand, what a waste .there is of the
flavoring properties of peach; almond,
and laurel leaves, so richly' C.lfarged .
with the essence of bitter almonds,
so much Used in most kitchens! Of
course such leaves must be used with'
caution, but so must the spirit as
well, An infusion-of this could read
ily be ? made, either'green or.dry, and
a .tea or taole spoonful of the flavor- -
ing liquiii _used: One of the most
useful and harmless of all leaves for
flavOring is:that of common syringe.
When cucumbers are scarce, - these
are a perfect substitute in salads or
anything in which - that flavor is de
sired. The : taste is not only like ; that
of cucumbers, but identical+a curl
,sus instance of the correlation of fla
vors -in _widely, different families.
.A gain, *the young leaves of cucum
bers have a striking likdness in the
way- of; flavor to that of the fruit:
The same may be affirmed , of - Carrot
tops, while inliost gardens there is
a prodigious waste of ,celery flay
in the sacrifice of the external leaves'
and their partially blanched foot
stalks. Scored of celery are cut. up
into soup,fwhen the .outsides would
'flavor it equally well or better. The
young leaves of gooseberries added
to hpttled fruit gives_ a fresher flavor
and a geener color to pies and tarts.
The leav'es of the flowering currant
give a sort of intermediate flavor be
twein black currants and red. Or
ange, citron, and. lemon leaves im
part a flavoring equal - to that of the
fruit and rind combined, and soine
what different from both.. A few
leaves added to pies, or -boiled in
milk. used to bake with rice, or form
ed) into ci usts or paste, impart an ad
mirable and. almost inimitable bou
quet. In - short,deaves are not half
so much used for seasoning purposes
as they might be.

Fertilizers.
.ProfeSsor Potter, of Cornell Uni
versity, says that America is now im
.l)overished to supply Britain with
thousands of tons of phosphoric acid.
" If our economy in this respect %ere
eitial to that of England," he adds.
we should return annually to the
sail hundreds of thnusands of tons.
The price need not 'adl'ance,
sia alone has immense' natural beds
of phosphates sufficient to supply all
demands for agei for come. Some
•" -years ago there were enormous
frauds in superphosphatea and other
. commercial manures in 'England, but
legal enactments and penal laws hav j e
brought these frauds to an end. In
this country enormous impoSitions
have been•practised, 'and an odium
has been thrown on the trade in fer
tilizers. The evil may be corrected
by greater intelligence on this sub
. jeekon the part of farmers; by expe
rimental stations, where reliable an
alysis may be obtained at moderate
rates, and by laws. In this way the
stniiendous frauds, in Britain were.
correetc(l.!' Professor Potter men
tiou sources of- nitrogen, and
alludes to guano deposits: " Fish gu
ano is valuable,". he says," and for
equal quality is cheaper in this coun
try than in Europe. Deposits of pot
ash, likely to-open a vast trade, have
been found of immense extent in
Saxony. The annual value of the
wasteof excreta in our. cities is cqUal
to half the interest 6n our national
110 t; this statement is sme`umtely
Inade, from actual examination. So, ue
European - cities, whi4i formerly
paid vast sums for the removal of
these excreta,. now receive a large
revenue for them.. Absorbents are
strongly recommended, , and objec
tions-may be made to . water closets
and sewers, and to the pollution of
streams and rivers. The large quan
tity of water required for the remov
al of this matter, being no less than
three hundred and .fifty times its
bulk, is a formidable objection. Dry
earth (road dust), ashes and pulver
ized charcoal answer -an excellent
.purpoSe. Used in iirilation, the dis
charge of sewers is purified by grow
plants. The rich grass fields
•
thus fertilized in the neighborhood
of Edinburgh have increased so enor
mously in
„richness that where the
annual rent per acre was formerly
only five •shillings, _some are now
Worth one hundred. Experience has
proved that no bad effects arise from
this l mode et purifying the water."
ACREAGE REQUIRED EAR A Cow,—
How much land is required for the
‘ , lipport'of Cow? This question lie
' pearls for an answer so much on cir
cumstances of the soil as not to ad
mit of a very definite answer. In a
7 , dairy competition in Jefferson Coun
tv, New York, in 1857, the first
prize dairy, of sixteen cows, was
kept on thirty acres of land; the sec•
and premium dairy of eighteen cows,
on sixty acres; the third . dairy of
thirteen cows, on thirty acres ; the
fctorth of twenty-niue cows,,on fifty
five acres; the fifth of twenty-eight
cows, on _ninety acres. Mr. Selma,
Of - Little Falls, estimates that the
land in pasturage anti; hay , requisite
for the support of a cow is three
acres ; and this_is the estimate of Mr.
•
Carrington for moderately good dal
: ry farms in England. In Belgium,
t. n acres of land support two cows,
and one yearling or calf; but when
the calves are sold off young, and
. ' cows in full. milk only are kept, the
proportion, is two cows-to seven and
ont-half acres. Coleman estimates
time aeresTifiiistiffe-as requisite-for
a cow in Berkshire County, Massa
chusetts. while in some f towns- two
acres of pasture are sufficient. Mr.
Farrington, in the report of the
American. • Dairymen's- Association,
thinks that on the average four acres
are required per cow, for summer and
winter keep; while Mr. X. A.
lard thinks that in Herkimer County,
• . Newbne and One-half to two
•aeires - of pasture per cow will answer,
and in some exceptional oases one
acre.—Scientific Foriner.

BRADFORD COMITY TEACHEII3' ASSOOLI.-
' TION.
The Brad g:t.d County Teachers' Asso
ciation was ca led to order by the Presi
dent, J. Andrew Wilt, at 10:30 A. M., at
the Presbyterian Church, Monnieton, No
vember 8. 1878. The Association was
opened by sieging and devotional eter
cises by Rev. H . Armstrong.
The minutes Fir the previous meeting
held' at Vaughan Hill were read and ap
proved. 1
Ryan
Superintenpent G. W. y remarked
that the minutes just read were fuller
than usual, and that he believed it would
enhance the tusefulness of the Association
by continnin to, keep an abstract of the
several speakers, and of the practical work
performed a the meetings of the Associa
tion.
The following resolutions having bleu
published in the papers Or the committee
were read z -
1. Resorted, That in our rural schools
`all studies of a higher grade than th&e
in which the law requires teachers to be
examined: the
be taught outside of
regular echrl hours, unless otherwise or
'tiered by di ectors, or taught as a general
exercise for the whole school. Lost.
2. Resolved, That the best iaterest of
our public- ehools demand a careful revi
sion of our School law.
3. Resolved, That there should %e a re
citation, or exercise, in' composition in
our public' schools, at least once every
week. -
4. Resolved, That this Association earn
estly advise directors to grade the salar-'
ies of teachers according to their success
in teaching, and their scholarship as
'shown in their certificates.
5. Resolved, That as an encouragement
to teachers to prepare themselves better
for their professions, and as an aid to di
rectors olgraded.and higher schools in
the selection of competent teachers, this
Association advise that.the Superintend
ent have speci•.l examinations in -studies
of higher grades than those required by
law, and that he 'record the - results on the
certificates of the applicants.
On motion, the 4th resolution was tak
en up and discussed by Rev. H. Arm
strong, E.. T. Ilurgan, J. 13, Bovingdon,
J. P. Keeney, G. W. Ryan, E.:11: McKee,
and C. P. ,Garrison. Mr. Armstrong .be-`
lieved the teacher who succeeded best,
should be; employed by directors and paid
according, to scholarship and success. 31r.
McKee thought such a course, if adopted
in a township, would give dissatisfaction
in this : that the people of one sub-district
would complain that the directors were
paying out more money for the adjoining
school than - this, etc. Mr. Burgan thought
directors should pay teachers according
to the results accomplished by the teach
ears, and thought such a course would
tend to underpay some primary teachers
in the Graded Schools of the county.
J. P. Keeney said, what we want is a
complete teacher for our rural schools.
The teachers in Graded Schools are adapt._
ed to their grade which they teach, and
thought if teachers worked la they should,
a course , of paying according to qualifica
tions and success would help education in
the county.
Superintendent Ryan said, the well
qualified- teachers were sought after.
Teachers in-Graded Schools must study.
Teachers are too poorly. paid; but grumb
ling will not help it; the way to .get bet
ter wages is to become better teachers.
C. P.j Garrison said, in Franklin the
board paid according to qualifier:Lions and
success, and that the plan worked well.
After a vote being taken, the President
declared the resolution adopted.
The Associatirm adjourned until 1:30,
AFTERNOON SESSION
Association called to order by the Pres
ident, .14 Andrew Wilt. Opened by sing
ing " ale Leadeth Me." Misses Stella
Ylngorder, Mary Huston arid Laura McGill
appointed committee to enroll members
present and solicit new members.
The President next called ou Prof. E.
T. Burgan to give practical work in
"First Lessons in Numbers." Mr. Bur
gan responded by saying, that ho would
first teach pupils to count by means of ob
jects, using numeral frames, pebbles, ker
nels of corn, etc., and then showed by
meant, of numeral frame and blackboard
how children may be taught to add, sub
tract, multiply and divide. Teach pupils
bow to count objects, then how to make
figures, how to combine numbers by
mearts,of objects, and then
,by figures;
teackyourpupils to do the work on the
blackboard neatly. After you have. ac
complished this teach them to do it rapid
ly. Additbmal remarks and suggestions
were made by G. W. 4llyan, W. H. Bene
dict, H. E: Ilaesley, and E. F. Thorqpsort.
The President remarked that this work
at - the Associations would be useless un
less teachers went to their schools and
made use of what was presented' hole.
Teachers should use the means by which
thecan accomplish the beat results.
The first resolution was then taken up
' end discussed by I. S. Crawford .S.
Patterson,, E. P. Thompson. J P. Kee
ney, Bev. J. H, Nason, . Sherwood,
Rev.' H. Armstrong, Hon. George Mos
cripti A. T. Lilley, arid G. W. Ryan. Mr.
Crawford claimed that directors should
provide for• such recitations in school
hours; that sib, hours was long enough
time, to confine teachers 'as well as pupils,
and that when there were sufficient schol
ars to form a class in the higher branches,
the school law required . the directors to
make provisions to have them taught.
Mi. Patterson knew schools where pu
pils desired to be taught in the hi • er
branches, and believed that. they o d
be tf.ught outside of school bon
E. F.. Thompson thought directors
should provide for the higher branches,
and if they were taught outside of school
hours the pupil should pay the teacher
for
3r. Keeney remarked that higher
branches were not allowed in the common
schools, unless authorized by the board,
and that the resolution was inconsistent.
Hey. J. H. Nason thought the common
seheols were to teach the common branch
es,
.and not to teach some uright scholar
iu thebigher and neglect the pupils in
thei common branches.
E. E r i Sherwood claimed that the reso
lutJrn was consistent with the common
wheel law, and that the - common schools
were for the benefit of the young pupils.
Rev. H. Armstrong claimed that if we
*mild not teach the higher branches with
put detriment to the other schidars, we
could give suggestions and hints to the
pupils-who desired to study the higher
branches. - 1
Hon. George Moscrip claimed that un
der the law, persons were admitted to the
schatis until they were tweney-one years
of age, and if their.advancement required
it the directors would be compelled, un
der•the law, to have a teacher able to give
=
-instruction fn the higher branches.
T. Lilloy claimed that
_higher
bratiehes should . be taught in the rural
schools if the wants of the pupils demand.
I
Mr. Ryan thought the law plvvided
clearly for such cases, and the discussion
of the resolution was useless.
Upon-a vote being taken the. resolution
was not adopted,
The President ealled Prof. IL E. Ram
ley on the sulbjoet of Grammar. Mr. Thus.
ley explained !by' nurnerous sentence,.
.placed 'on the blnekb , trd: bow the influi
lives should be tanght and dhposed of,
and-that infinitives libould- I*i parsed -a ,
fully as any other parts of speech.
isTrJothistuN t •
The Piesideilt then called t n volnnte v
speeches and illustrations of five minute,.
each, on "how to use the blackboard in the
school r•mn."
The drAt ono to respond wai- Prof. Ra
esley, who stated that be:made it a point
to me the backboard at every recitation
Na.unt said he noticed that
larger blackboards were being: placed it,
the school houses. and that he believed
the teachers who succeeded would Use
them.
Prof. Bergen went to the blackboard
and field up different objects, and then
wrote -the names of the object on- the
board, and illustrated in this manner bow
tko blackboard-could be used toteach pri•
mary Grammar; he shOwed how nouns,
pronouns, verbs, adjectives, etc., could be
taught by means of the blackboard.
Superintendent Ryan called four teach
ers to the board, and pronounced words
and showed' clearly. bow the blackboard
could be tilled in teaching spelling. sine
advantages for this was, that the teacher
can tell at a "glance whether the pupils
spelred the words correctly. •
NV. 11. 13enidict added that pupils
should capitalize words the same as they
•
- slwuld be-in sentences.
B. B. Mcgee stated that in Geography
the board could be used by having the
pupils write all they' , knew about the
coasts of certain continents, river sys.l
terns, climates, etc., etc., besides - . map
drawing:
A. T. Lilley went to the board and;
showed how pupils should be taught to
judge of the size of objects ; and also, how
by Means of the beard, time examples4n
mental arithmetic could be readily ex-
Jlained.
Superintendent Ryan and U. S. Patter
son illustrated bow to teach writing on
the blackboard.

different speakers, which willbe valuable
to the teachers of the county.

dison Armstrong, -entitled "Through
Work." The declamation was original
and full of thoughts for the teachers, and
well recited by Mr. Armstrong. "The
Famine," by Miss Mary Saterlee, was re
cited admirably. Miss Saterlee was hear
tily applauded by the audience.
• A. T. Lilley gave an illustration of how
the globe should be used in the' schcf of :
First—To-show the form of the earth.
Second—The revolution of the earth on
its axis, causing day and night. Third—
The revolution of the -- earth around the
sun, causing the change of the seasons.
Ile also 'showed the need of meridians and
paralls of latitude ; he remarked that the
d•rectora should supply each school with
globes, maps and charts.
The Association joined in singing,
"Only an Armor Bearer."
Bev. G. C. Jones delivered a lecture,
subject—" Books and Reading." The
following, are a few points of the lecture:
The .uccess of any person depends on the
class of books ;.e reads. The success of
the teachers depetul on the class of books
they, read, and the habits of study they
acquire. thinkers rule the world, and
the arer we can get to the great think
ers through their books, in that propor
tion will be able to.control those we have
in charge. No' person has a right to
speak on any given subject, unless we
have read about it: Read the best books.
Be 3D no hurry to buy or read a new book)
but wait and tied out whether it will be a
good bOok after it is published a year.
Read those books you have a taste for,
but be careful to form a proper taste.
Form some plan for reading. Read an
cient and modern history. If you have a
taste for Fiction read the best, ' none but
the best should be rthd. Read Biography,
Read Poetry. Learn to be students.
The Lecturer suggested differen; books
which be considered valuable, and should
be read by every teacher and well inform
ed Person. . CP •

J. Andrew• Wilt then gave a method of
teaching composition as follows : Teachers
place three fir foar easy subjects on board
(Jive five minutes for pupils to write ; make
no corrections in their work at first ; have
all the pupils in the school write, or print
something about one .of the subjects on
the board ; afterwards look at the work
of the scholars. Give general instruction
about use of capitals and punctuation ;
furnish pupils with paper and - pencil if
have none ; extend the time to ten min
utes.-as the pupils advance, also- have
them read their own compositions, He
suggested that the teacher should not use
the word "composition," in order to avoid
the prejudice against writing "composi
tions."
Superintendent Ryan urged the teach
ers to contribute matter for the Bduca
tionll Department.
