The winter terms in our rural - school
,districts either have, or soon will end.
Already the County - Superintendent tas.
contruenced , the work of examining appli:
cants w-ho desire to teach in the summer
schools,. It has been the prevailing idea
f.Cr years that the winter topn is the im
portant part of the school rear, and that
the competent and
,successful teacher
must be- secured for, that period. Un
.xi•rali.tedly during this seastin of the year,
the attendance is larger, especially in old
er students. Wiihout doubt too there
has been cause for . the complaint that ex
ists in some loz4lities that the summer
terms are notproductive of the largest
posyl ! le. ainount of goo(I to OM students
will attend_ Realty there should be no
just rea - ; .oti for this-censure, and <will not
if the teacherbc lice.and earnest. More
:progress ought to be made by those who
nttcall at-this time than any other period
of the yinr. The older :Zpholars do not at=
tend at this time, hence thedAndents being
I%?.iircr hn age can be bettlr classified.
The uuniber ef scholars beitig • less there
must be fewer classes and in consequence
more frequent recitations. Our summer
schools are chiefly primary -schools. In
schools of this grade children depend
more upon-class drill than older studentS
ti who prepare their 'lessons by them-
H-lees in their seats. The interest being
the same ; the octet r "
primary classes e
cit;• the :more rapi the progress. .The
hn of our leachers the!n should be clur-
f ;:,g the summer, short and frequent reci
tations: If pfe , sible—and in most cases'i
-it can be—the primary classes should read
times a day. short selling lessons

WISE TEACHING. "I
At the fyllnflation of all ittstru;etiOn is
this " r 4, train up a ohilo in
the way he should go , licoz 7.1n3t real/' in
youpitf." Toit inust ever be exemp
lars as wi:11 as teachers. To make others
true yoq trusty be true yourselves ;.to
make others wise you must 1)4 wise. If
you pruedt temperance anC .- practice
. drtinkenness, no one will heed you.
There are two classes of teachers that I
observe : (Me class is pedantic, pompous,
sc f-ci:int a Med, magisterial. When -he
St a rids before children he tills therri with
awe, instead of playing on their, heart-
M rings by.the mighty power of love. Such
teaching liar few testilts. The child looks
up with awe; the little ',delicate .tendrils
of his infant mind cannot reach up and
grasp instruction from such a teacher.
The .second Class of teachers brings sun
shine into the sel.•nol-room. Children
turn to them as flowers to the light.
There is an atmosphere- of sunshine
around such a teacher.- His own light at
tracts all to him for their good and
growth.
Above all thin, teach children what
their life is., It is not breathing, Moving,
play . ing, sleeping, simply. Life is a bat

battle between :_:)(sl'and evil, from child'.
hoed. Good influences, drawing :As up
!toward the divine ; bad influences, draw.
us A lown to the brute. Midway we
stand; between the divine and brute.
I low to cultivate the good •side of our let- -
ture is the greatest lesson of life to teach.
Teach children that they lead. these two
lives—the life withAt and the-life with
in and that the inside must be pure in
the sight of God, as well as the outside in
the sight, of men. . •
Thtte arc five means of learning. These
are : Observath a, Beading, Conversation,
:Memory, :cictlect ion. Educators some
t•
in their anxiety to secure a wide
rang'e of studies, do not 'sufficiently im
press upon their scholars the valun: of
I,inemou. Ni;w, iur memory is one of
the most•wonderful gifts God has bestow
el upon us, and one of the most mysteri
ous. Take a tumbler and pour water into
it ; br and by ' s y, ni can pour no more, it is
fall.
_lt is not so with the mind. You
cannot till it full of knowledge in a whohi
lifetime. Pour in al! you please, add it
still thirsts for to , re. Remember this :
"linowled;4-e is not a hAt you • learn, but
what youremembei."i "-It is not what
you cat, but what -you digest, that makes
you grow 23 "It is not the money you
handle, but that you keep, that zu.dzes
you rich." "It is not what. you study,
but you remember mid rettect_ upon, that
makes -you learned."
One more suo - i:estion : Above all things
else . ; .strive to fit the children in your
cluire,to be useful men and women;
meirand women you may be proud of in
utter life: While they are yoiing, teach
them that far above physical courage,
which will lead them to face the cannon's
nionthabove wealth, which would giVe
them farms and houses ; and bank -stocks
and gold—is moral courage; that courage
by which they will stand fearlessly,
frankly, firnity, fur the right. Every man
ut wom us who dares to stand fur. the
right when evil has its legions, is the true
mural victor in this life, and iu the land
beyond the stars.—Schuyler euifa r.
THE ANT OF EF.ADING AND SPEAKING.
Ileailing, is the foundation of speaking.
If you read. badiy, you will not speak
well. I ti,W tare , ' is a good reader; how
abundant are the positively bail readers.
The cause of the neglect lies, not so much
in the, ignorance of the value of the art
when acquired, as in the strange preju
dice that to read anti to speak are natural
gifts, 'not to be Implanted, and scarcely
to be cultivated, by art.
Atotlier cause of neglectsift; that bad
read€rs and speakers are unconscious of
their,incapacity.. They do not think they
read or speak badly, for they cannot see
orlear thvmselves. In reading we know
what the words of the author are intend
ed to express, and we suppose we express
them accordingly ; so in speaking we
know What We designed to say, and wet-' u. e sZtVn k g e CiVe ' . "*. e i trd t tn er l not t w reg ork ul f re r d o us• than

Every man can_ read and speak after a
fashißn, however ruddy, and, therelore,
his imperfection Is not made so apparent
to hind self—it is only a questicra of de
gree ; being able to read "ald ispeak, and
not being conscious how he' reads and
speaks, he cannot easily be satisfied that
be reads and speaks badly, and that pm:
ficiency must be the work of sonic teaching,
much study, and more practice.
Not one educated person in ten can
read so as tq express the meaning of the
words; they pervert the' sense by wrong
emphasis, or deprive its of all sense by
monstrous gabble, and do everything ex
cept what should be done, that is, talk
the words. • It is an art, and must be
learned like any other art.—R. W. Cox.
TEE STUDY OP LANGUAGE.
Whether given to mankind by Aixect
inspiration, or . whether the'jesult of col
lective effort through centuries, it; 'is cer-
Wn that to the individual, language, ill
its widest- sense, is a birthright.
A Man may learn 'to speak correctly ;
butunless he be born with that diserimi
eating power which retuitively judges of
words, constructions, -ar.d ideas as such,
be will never speak, elegantly.
Yet language, which, graded with the
fine arts, ont-raukoll4 all, is carelessly
assigned to teachers inlifferently trained.
These tiachers are-to bnpress its beauties
tu.on minds which, 'through them. 'can
never catch a glimpse of the sug4estivd
vistas afforded by novels rightly framed
idiomatic and pure constructions. The
true teacher bf language is both born and
made. He must unite to great natural
cardftil preparation for his pro
fession,
It is exceptional to meet a manor wo
man who ernploys the English language
forcefully. While this fact is Well known,
parents unhesitatingly commit their chil
dren to teAchtns of Giammar whosephra
ses are interlarded with ain't and other
colloquialisms, and whose vocabulary on
hesitatingly accepts any word of semi-re
spectability. Such teachers can indeed
conjugate a verb. They can parse a sen
tence. They c n utter, with the greatest
volubility, a hundred rules of syntax. But
they can do no more. Their knoWledge
is to the subject in hand What a chromo
is to a carefully-toned and highly-finished .
picture.. They.behold,thc body of some
thing inexpressibly beautiful ; they can
not comprehend the soul.: .
Nothing will sooner disorganize a class
than incompetency. Sometimes this in
competency is so subtle that its only i
ap
parent efhet is a dull class who complain i
of a dull subject. But a teacher who loves
his Object, wlfo, if not hitving paved it

Language, comprising, in its elementa
ry branches, Grammar, Cymposition and
Rhetoric, should be taught, from the •be
ginning, like an exact Iscienge. The teach
er should begin by training the child's
mind first iu words, then in construction,
then in the mutual fitness of the two,
then in ideas and the simplest idiomatic
expression of those ideas.
Taught systematically and•progressive
ly, a gill of eighteen would use her moth
er-tongue with the same dexterifY as she
did her - hands. As it is, the rnajorif3r, of
girls are hewilciered over au intricate sen
tence, dismayed when asked to write
simple essay. They rack their own 'and
other brains for ideas. At eighteen, with
the right.previ;ms training, a 'girl shbuld
be ready to study not one language,; but
comparative philology.
this is possible for ordinary minds
under. an eat mord i nary teacher. Such a
teacher cannot make linguists of all of
his pupils, in the. highest sense of the
term. But he can do much towards de
vdping a linguistic ability which, in a
Attst majority of cases, remains dormant
for want of proper training.
Schools and text-books are, generally

Freezing Out of Winter Grain
It does not yet ,seem to be under
stood that, the freesing out of winter
grain comes from a superbundance of
moisture in the: soil, which ayery
little care in making' surfaCe farrows
at wheat sowing time would prevent.
As it . is, therels always great danger'
of loss from the grain .being - .thrown
out. Writing .of the' 'prospects - in
Illnois a correspondent of The Coen ,
try Gentleman writes:
" Wherever in the winter :wheat
region there is.'froni six to- sixteen
inches' Of snow (and the .average
hereabouts , is .not less than twelve,
and further north nearly double that
depth
,in some places.), and where on
this dense and massed _snowfall,
there is a . donsiderable crust . this
winter wheat crop is in'
great danger
of being smothered and killed oat
right.' This thing occurred during .
'February and March, 1875, and 'the I
winter wheat crop in the black soil
counties was totally destroyed. - But: ,
it was a sinOlar faCt that rye was
not injured, and a better crop of it_
was never made than — from the, har
vests of that year. That this was
not due to local, causes was proved
to me by the circumstances .that in
one or two fields ; sown with-half.rYe
and half wheat, the rye came through I
safe' and sound, while not, a single
stalk or stool of wheat snrvived
though the stand was the stronger in;
wheat when the winter set hi.. But
it is not t.?o late perhaps to save the !
crop if means are immediately taken
to brefik the crust and 're'store that ,
circulation of the atmosphere which
the wheat' plant seems- to- demand.
Anything Which will .effectually do,
the job will be sufficient—a two or I
four horse team'., hitched :to a plank '
drag, driven across the field, will do
the business. Or the fields . may be
gotta Over with a henry roller'or with
.
a plank drag or harroW alone, leav
ing the wagon out of the programme.
-however,, if under the crust, and
next to the wheat, a mass of.ice has
formed, it is possible little''.good
would be done; the outcome ot\the
crop depending, in such 'cases, on
the' favorable or unfavorable charac
ter of the weather during which the
ice is melted and the frost taken out
of.the ground. If the frost shall be'
drawn gradually (nit, and during the
process no severe freezing happens,
wheat plants will be likely to, come
forth alive;
_but if a thaw comes
which does not take all the frost out;
and the earth being saturated
snow water or rain, severe; freezing
follows down so 'far as to meet the
frost below, then, in such Cases,.the
killing
- of' the plant is almost a cer
tainty. It is a great. and serious
.matter to have the ; wheat crop re
duced or injured At any and all
times; but when, as at;'this Link, so
much depends upon it to give a gen
erous impulse to the rising tide ° of
prosperity which has set in, the re
duction of its outcome to the extent
threatened cannot be counted less
than a great public calamity." ,
Of course there will 'always he
some danger ;from thawing out, let
the drainage of the earth be ever so
'well attended to in the fall of the
year. For it the earth 'be only half
thawed 'out, that is to say supposing
a foot deep of frost has only
. thaw.e4
six' inches, a rain or'soft .snow will
fill the ground with water Which,
owing to the ,frozens bottom. cannot
well escape, and under 'such eircum
stances.freezing and thawing . will
certainly draw out the plants.
My„HonEe Plants.

E. A. STANTON in Practical. Farmer.
The Effects of Impure Ventilation:
It is not .to be disputed that an
abundance of pure • air is necessary
for the health • and life Of a horse.;
yetin the present day there arc many
who carefully close every aperture by
which a breath of fresh air can by
any possibility gain admission: into
the stable, and the consequence is
that the foul air that, arises in the
night passes through the lungs'of the
horse, the blood cannot undergo its
proper and
.healtlif change, the brain
and nervous system wilt sutler, and
all the functions of life be ,more or
lesi injured, the eireet of which leads
to inflamed • lungs,' diseased eyes,
mange, glanders and other diseases.
It is pretty certain that the majority .
of the Maladies of the horse, and
those of the worst and most fatal
diameter, are directly to be attribu
ted to a.deficient suprly of air, cruel
exaction of work - and insufficient, had
fare.
The. temperature of the stable is
also's, very important point. When
it is considered - that a. horse stands
twenty hours orieren a whole r day in
impure qtrarters, and is then stripped
of his clothiUgi led out into the open
air, and stands a• couple of hours or
so in a temperature several degrees
below that of the stable, it stands
_to
reason that the horse must be subjec
ted to rheuti3atism, catarrh and other
complaints. It ought to be generally
known that the return toil hot stable
is quite as dangerous as the change
from a heated atmosphere to a cold
and biting air. It is the sudden
change of temperature, yrhether from
heat to-cold or vice versa, that does
the mischief and destroys thousands
of horses. •
A -Cat's Develop -stmt.
.•Nature exereises her colts in the
lieu ; they go tearing through bush--
es, jumping brooks, and race over ,
hillocks . ; nor - .will they halt until
their necks:are moist, their nostril,
distended' and ' their flanks all
a:quiver. A 6,cepti fig this • Lint;
therefore, the, colt is take s n into
an exercise lot,' and there, sent
around time and-again, until hiS rihs
stand out to sight as if lifted by
every inflation of the hings. This is
done month in and out, ; the year
around. It is this steady,:persisted_,
in exercise, touching, any oirrin,:that
gives to it, in the end its hio.lie,t"
possible' development. .Tiro:ie 'who
think that a horse's Wind eanl,,Ne
veloped in two or three months are
greatly mistaken. - Lungs cannot be
built up . in 'a clay; they must be
grown up in . the horse, beginning at;
the time he is able to -trot b c y the.
dam's side.. In -addition tlethe
• • 11 1 •
cising, comes - jogging on t eroad or
around the track. It is often said,
"never-drive nor harnees a colt be
fore be is fire years old.", This is,
ridicalous.,. The natural state is not
the lies`., necessarily, to an animal
so highly organied as a- horse. - A
colt, if he is well-formed and of
average , size,. should be driven from
five to ten miles, to a light wag.on,
twice a'iveek leas, and allowed to
." step out," once or tWice every.drive,
for a 4narter of. a mile,.too, at that.
Colts. are made to travel, and travel.
ing does not' hurt
.them, as any one
can Observe in the. pasture field. .It
does not hurt a colt to "puff" or
"sweat," but, on the other harid, this
swift and hot lung and heart action
Is just what
. his System needs for its
develoPment.-
:::Tooverdrive,a colt is undoubtedly
criminal, but, where one colt is crip
pled by over-exercise, fifty are crip
pled by constrained idleness. The
colt should have plenty of oats aid
.hay, and - pure water, and fresh r.ir in
his stall, and plenty of exercise.
Such a colt, when he is fully matured,
will be able to go fast and for a con:
Sidefatlit3 distance, and to pull weight
also without giving out. Whatever
else ifs ne: , lected . in the educatioiland
training of a colt.° the develoim l .lit
of the lungs should have especial at
tention.-,

• SOWEVI COATS EARLY.--In a few
things have the advantages of an tin. :
derdrain . soil shown to • better, effect.
than in oat-growing. Light soils ate
not favorable 'to the, oat, and yet it is
the.light soils which are the early
ones. On the other hand the oat
rc
quires-a moijera'tely low4emperature
of atleast . two months to perfect the
root at organization.. It ought to Ise
one of the earliest crops s!iwn in the
spring, but our strong soils on Which
the oat does best-are often wet soilF-,
anal very tulfayorable to early sow
inf.. Those *holhave strong soils,
and yet tolerably dry, have the Nun
best of oat-land, and those who have
not must watch every chantm to get
in the seed - early if they would drr. - ve
.the best results. Those who know
this and 3 etlifive land for-oats - wi11...1r
they feel they will hardly 'be abl-e to
seed before the end of April, some. ,
times prepare the land in the. fall,
and then sow the seem on the snow
in February Snow in our. reof!gi is
too precarious to found any syst(til
the'reon. We may have snow and
we may not. brit in -the Westkrn
States, where.snow is a re7ulaf thing
at . that time of the year, we, notice
that the practice is growing into
favor. Those whO have tried it; say
the seed sprouts as soon as thejirst
warm days of. spring creme. some two
wee - 1;s at least ahead of the'ri•golar
April sowings, and the crop is iiro
portionately increased. We May not
find this plan everw her. feasable, but
we Ii ay be-encouraged always to sow
at tine earliest time practicable.
