A. great error has grown into our sys
tem of teaching by employing unskillful
leachers to do work for which they are
not fitted. - Most of the teachers rely
Mainly iipon . the teri l booksplaced in their
hands for all -the information they pos- -
•ess, and they occupy the teacher's chair
ve.ty much as the teacher Of the old-fash
-ion catechism used to do, whose duty it is
to Lind onAwito was tlie-first , wan, who
built the ark,. etc: • The best teaching
consists inim:tking pupil familiar with
a•i much ot the world about him as possi
Lt., and in Lelping . hini to learn from his
own experience all the facts which may
I?elnecessary to his success in life. By
such a course Lis puyvers of, observation
Leconie quickened. and in a short time - he
brcomes,his own teacaer, and will always
.---
Le an earnest stadent.
There isreally'no:excuse for the slack
ness teachers who fail to make newt of
nature as the tifeaus for 'developing the
human intellect. All the work done by
the teacher in the way of object teaching,
is of great advantagelo himself personal
ly, ands lee Otight to do the work from self
ish inoilves if he he not actuated by ar'Y
higherpurpose. ' Lei the teacher take a
-glass of water lrfore his class, occasionll

of theliquid. In the tint place lot him
call attention to Old fact that nearly every

cced tr.) . iklustrate by means of a small
glass 'cube the - form of adhesion termed
capillarity,

step ii- to show bow - these forces act iu fa-
iniliartwayslto perform the common of
lices of. life. These two,otlices give to,wa
' ter its solvent powers, which arc the real,
hasis-ofits cleaning properties. .Disolve
sugaAnd salt in a cup already full of wa
ter, and you demonstrate not only' the ad
liesive force of water, buti•also the porus
duality of the substanee l s .dissolVecl, and
by noting this fact at the proper time yuu
have given the class the best:po4ble de.-
Ainition of Pero.tity. Ntjw clinch the:defi
nUtion of the word solvent by calling at
tentiou to a fact of which they will be re
- minded three tiines — a day, that the alai-v
-ent properties of water Make. 'the best
cleansing agent. Then make a point on:
the matter Of capillary attraction, and .il
lustrate tlgt Idler: by calling attention to
the kunpwick, the rising _of sap in trees
and plants, : And the swelling of wood
when wet. - • •
Then illustrate the incompressibility of
water' by telling them how marble may
lie quarried by drilling the rock, and driv
ing in plugs of .wood upon which 'Water is
poured; and by the force of capillary '
traction : enough is absorbed by the wood
to split the rock. Of course, if the water•
was compressible, no such result would
,he reached, ;aridby this simple method
another of the impel-taut properties of
matter has been explained. Next, take
a glass filled to the brim with water, and
drop in a few small bits of iron, or oetter
some shot. Very soon the water over
iloW•s, and another definition may be
' taught, viz : that of impenetrability.
Then teach them the old proverb that no
two bodies can occupy the same space at
the same tittle: 'Take - again the glass
brim 'full i f water and covering it with
writing paper,.being careful to press ; it
down quite to the edge all around. '
By invertinglbe glass and carefully re
moving
the hand, the water will be found
to remain in its place, and you may thus
.give it simple illustration bf the upward
pressure of the atmosphere. This _may
be further illustrated by taking a saucer
uttarly full of water, and throwing upon
it a blaZinj paper ; then quickly cover the
pajier. with an inverted tumbler. In
, shint tittle the oxygen of the air under the
tumbler has-been cousirmed, and the wa
ter is pressed in to' ll the plate. Then
t take a fruit...jar containing a quart of wa
ter, and drop into it a small amount of
poWdered eochinril, and notice the bright
' color imparted, No -more pointed de
finition of the devisability of, matter
could be given than by telling them that
the 30,000 drops in that drop of water,
each contains at least 100 pieces of cochi
neal, and that the small amount which
they had seen on the point. of the knife,
had been divided into at least 3,000,000
pieces.
•
To these Nets may h be added daily
those whiCh aro not quite so easy of de.
rnonstration, but which they may some
time \ be able to demonstrate to them
selves. Tell the class-that water is com
posed-of two gases, oxygen and hydrogen,
and that it is the product of the combus=
tion of these two elements, and while you
marnet be able to demonstrate it they
I will learn to look forward to the time
When they shall demonstrate it them.

them the origin of the -words hydraulic,
hydrostatics, hydrophobia, and all words
which ictain any'of the form of,,ibe word
- hydrogen. But time would fail to tell of
the many interesting lessons which might
be given in familial talks abtint water.
Its.spherical fOrm in the dewdrop and on
I the hot stove, help to illustrate the natur
al tendency of matter to arrange itself in
spheres, while its use in sustaining life,
bolli animal and vegetalde, opens a, wide
„field for interesting study.
- But if so much may be taught from one
element, how-infinite are . the Opportuni. '
ties fur giving object lessons. ow read
ily will the earnest teacher resu l t to the
familiar thhigs.of,life:to impa instrtiu
tion of the highest type to the young pu-'
pils:' Such instruction as this is what
aroused the first interest in general. edu
cation. Pestalozzi devoted- a long life to
the -task of elevating the profession. of
teaching, and much of his work still lives
in the minds of eminent educators to-day,
who we -e his pupils. It is-a mistake to
suppose that mental discipline comes. in

when the old system of Henry Pestalozzl

Water for Fowls in Wieter.
While it may be true, us remarked
by C. B, in the Country Gentle:km,
that care should be used in giving
water to fowls, especially to cocker 7
els with heavy combs and wattles, in
cold weathe4 the opposite error in
giving too little is far more common
than is generally supppsed. In con
tinued cold weather, fowls, though.
generously, fed, grow light and do
not appear lively. Nine times out of
ten lack of plenty of pure,elean "water
is the cause.- :When fowls are shut up
they almost ' invariably stop- laying.
One chief reason for this is that their
abundant supply of water is cut off.
With . plenty of water and the right
kind of food hens will lay even when
kept in comparatively narrow elelo
sures. There is a difference in breeds,
the. heavy, quiet varieties bearing
confinement best; but plenty of wa
ter is essential to all.. Eating snow
is the poorest substitute for drink
ing, either for man, bird or beast.
Let any one try it when thirity, and .
he will find • his thirst intensified ten
fold within a few moments after the
snow has melted. - If - continued, snow
eating will produce a fever by which I
the flesh-and fat will be wasted more
1
I rapidly than by anything else I know,
[ A. large percentage of the human
body and of the flesh of all kinds of
animals is water. Unless the waste
from evaporation • is fully supplied,
decreased weight must soon be the
result. The importance•ofanahimd
ant supply of water :for making
growth, flesh. and fat is too , little ap
preciated. Years ago I read a.
Ire
ceipt for growing fat, which-wa sim
ply to drink a bowl of water at night
just before retiring, and so far as I
have observed, tlie..rule is 4a good
one. Plenty of water is aid to diges
tion, and without it the blood - cannot
be kept in a good condition. When
fowls are Confinea the master cock
will often drive the weaklings_ from
the watering trough. This must be
partly remedied by having :several
drinking places; . so that one or more
will always be open. But generally
a cock that has been thoroughly sub
dued, and is driven about so that he
has no• comfort in his life, is worth
more for the shambles than for the
breeding, or than he will ever he
worth again. •
The'Orchard:
If one is to set out small. fruits,
whether'for home use or- market, the
Sooner the preliminary Work of se
lecting the kinds, and ordering the
plants is done, the better. The prec
is one of those periods, that every
nbiv and then occur in fruit culture.
There are a number: of new 'varieties
of great promise, but that- haVe not .
been sufficiently tested, to warrant.
planting them largely: The grower
for market feels much like the hunter
who wished to so aim at' an animal,
that Iru would miss it if.'4 calf, but
hit it if a deer. The '• safe way for
those, who grow fruit. for sale, is to
plant out trial-beds of the promising
kinds,-and thus test their adaptabili
ty to the soil, and if the reSultls-sAt
islactory, you have -a stock of plants
for setting a plantation. . •
The Market and thePeighborhoorl
have both to be considered. If the
market is s distant - one, the fruit,
whatever-other quality it may have,
must be firm enough to reach its des
tlnation in good order. If there is a
local or neighborhood trade—a -, mat--
ter quite too often overlooked by
growers, then a very different class
of fruits may be grown.
Pruning Omitted Last Fal4 should
be attended to now as the weather
will allow. Grape-vines need the first
care, and should be pruned" long be

Preparatory Mirk in the. •way of

CLOVER SEEDING.—Editor of the.
American Cultivator: At this time
I can Scarcely believe any one de;

in enriching worn-out land; in fact I
consider it the cheapest fertilizer a
farmer can apply to his land; espe
dially, iti.sucbland . as is "suitable to

ed again for seed in several years,
especially if the, ravages of the insect
working in the seedsof.clover should
be as widespread and destructive as
,was the case in' this' section during
the past summer and autumn.. Many
farmers have 'an idea that clover
should be sown only upon fall-sown
wheat and rye. This is a wrong im-.
pression, as I have seen. equally as
good catches when sown with oats,
spring wheat and barley. When in
tending to seed with'spring grain, a
less quantity of the grain .shOuld be
sown, and if the ground is mellow,
sow the clover and go over with.. a

A- 1 : 142 404 ems Plague:
•The cattle. plague Is atireetingvery
generalattention now
.on both sides
the 'Atlantic. A Congressional
Committee at Washington is engaged .
`in takingtestimony as to, the, iscase,
while - yew York Inspectors have.;
been vigoiously at work On" Long Is

. slaughtering the . infected
animals. - The, contagions • disease
'from which cattle near Washington
and inr,the

And probably in other -pits of the
country, are now suffering, is said to',
have beenintroduced in this country
US Tar back:as 1843,being brofig,ht by
infected cows imported from urope.
Several " State Commis:s4ms
made inquiries as .to the disease and
the best methods -Of preventing its

acid was pronounced a specific. "
New York Commission recommended 4
owners of cattle to

Goonlittxt*i Cows.---s The Buret:
World says that "the cows of many
farmers 'go dry' in 'winter—that
cease to
_give milk.
.Farriers.' think
the fault is with the cows, but the.
fault is really their own. The trou
ble is.the cows are not wt.ll fed and,.
comfortably sheltered. They cannot
give much milk without an abund
'mice of food ,to make it. Their own
natural wants • require a certain
amount of food d
. to keep life an
health and strength. If . they get
enotlgh food to secure these
etuis.,hoW Can they give milk?
would be like asking a man to give
you money .when he had none: Good'
hay and straw and .corn fodder an
swer well for the coarse food, sand
corn meal can't be beat for nutritious
focid. It is^a little too . concentrated,
'but one_ part of corn-meal and two
or three pa•ts of wheat br4ii. make an
'excellent food for 'raileh dews, and
pound or two Of griiiind oil-cake
mixed with thiSfeed makes' a splen.-
. did diet . for milk." The fact is that
! half the battle with any Ow on' the
milk.question is the feeding. People
often have cows . that they feed judi
ciously; and' hence. have . milk far,be
yond what their neighbors get
their animals, and thus others are
led to believe there is .something - in
the breed more than there is in their
own. this way breeda or races of
cattle often come into repute... But
When they or their offspring, change'
owners, they soon go back and are
of no more aceotnit than any ordina
ry cow. Judicious feeding for mil[c
purposes is yet 'in its, infancy with.
the majority of cattle feeders; though
well known to the observing few.
A C9NTE:NTEI) LIFE.—It is a com
mon, complaint that the farm and
farm life are not appreciated by our:
people. We long for the more ele-.
gant pursuits, or the ways and fash
ions of the town. But the farmer
has the most sane and natural occu
pation, and ought. to fine life Sweet
er, if less.highly- seasoned, than any
other. He alone ; strictly speaking
has a home. How can a man take
root.and. thrive without land? _lre
writes- his history upon his flekl.
flow many ties, how many resources
he has; his' friendships with his cat
tle, his team, his dog, his trees, the
satisfaction in his growing crops, iii
his improved fiehis • his intimacy
with nature; with bird and beast, and
with . the quickening elemental forces;
his . co.Operation with the cloud, the
seasons, heat, wind, rain; frost. Noth
ing will take the various social' dis
tempers Which the citY , andartificial
life breed out of man like farining,
like direct and loving 'contact with
the soil. It 'draws out the poison. It
humbles_ him, teaches him 'palace'
and reverence, ami. :restores the pro
per tone to' his system.
Cling to the farm, make 'much of
it, put yourself into It, bestow- your
heart and your brain upon it; so that
it shall savor of you and your-virtue

sonable-prices, and of any color, all
over the country. But. any farmer
can mix his own-paint if- he desires.
Ground paint, paint brushes, oil, and
a little turpentine as a drier, compose
the whole outfit. Oil and lathp-black
