BY J. M. ormionY,
Ought reading to be taught in our com
mon schopls? Certainly, my friend. 13ut
what: reading? how' much? and :how?
Let us. consider the question without pre-,
judice. .In the. common schools, "as now
managed, tebout one-half of the" time is
given to the reading lessons. A county
superintendent of schools told the writer
that in his county _neatly two-thirds of
the time in school is spent in the reading
classes... Is - this necessary? Is it profita
ble? 'ls not this one of the thieves of our
school system, which rob it 6f its fruitful
ness, andtbling upon it the too common
reproaeli of poverty in ieaults? Let us
look at it carefully but tearlessly.
Children must he taught to read print
ed books : reading does not conic by na
ture. But the vocabulary of little chil
i dren is small, and to learn to read . such
books as. ti4y can ttpderston 1, can be
done usually in a few weeks. A, term or.
t'vo at will be sufficient if the chit
then aie of sutlic:ent ate. It should 't'e
(kite at lime ; but as many farents have
not the time, and fewer still the inclina
tion, some of the children must evidently
be taught to read in school. This is
agreed.
• But ought this, teaching to -go farther
than the, simple words and sentences
which cbildren-easily understand?
the reading la sons drag on through term
after term, and year after year, consum:
ing half the scflOol-life of the majority of
Oar children? Of what use those long se
ries of reading books filled with the mere
fragments of literature ; or •of those time
wasting reading lessons, in which each
I.llldl reads a singl l e short paragraph, and
then htla'mbi idle for the next quarter or
half-hour; it may be.? Occasionally a skill
fid teacliCr may maim it - a little better,
and throW - a little life into the tediriu
urmotonyt; hut teachers get, tired of the
r, - e!1-thumbed ra,ges and paragraphs as
well as the• children, and they let things
go. TAMAitr to the dreary droning of the
"choice extracts," out -of which both
teachers and pupils ha.ye long ago chewed
the last drop of sweet !
/ A MORE, EXCELLENT WAY.
Ti:e writer taught his own five children
to read. The task Was not a long nor
ciao:I'll one ; it occupied a, few of the odds 1
affil cads of tim`e to be found in the busi
est of life. It mai as good asplay. Hav
ing read to the little one a few short sto
ries to excite its, curiosisy, then, by the
so-called word-method,' it was taught
some of the more common words, and
.• shown bow to find oat others. The story
• hooks were then put into the little hands,
and the work went on of itself : no urging
was needed—the charm of the story did
the business. There was no : ft:ofish at
teMpt to force the child to read what it
did not understand. If the story Was.not
i l utcresting it was remorselessly let alone,
and a better one was found... Doubtless
many a hard tussel was , had with bard
words and big ones; but the ;story could
nut be givtn np, and •so the bard word
was mastered. Sianetimes the children
F en t itle of their own accord to read Inc some
amusing passage, and corrections were
made in their pronunciation ;'but nothing
was forced. • Their taste for books grew
•till they had to be restrained from read
ing too much and thus injuring their
health. Their knowledge of words stead
' i;ly increased ; their iqtelligenee was fed ;
and. before they wallit to school at all,
this bc'eame better natters than any
_schitol-taught chiltheit of my acquaint
' mice: They were not remarkable chil
dren. One of them learned with much
difficulty, but mice started its the story
htsTyks, he became as fond of reading as
the Othas. in the families of several of
my acquaintances the same plan has been
tried, and with the same result.
Let this method be triad in our common
schools. Let-a school be supplied with at
least fifty dollars' worthfof the brightest
• and. Lest story books for childrerf6hean
be found. • Let tiro. hours a /day of
time now given to t reading lessons be al
lowed to Om children to read the story
books, 0:1 condition that they first learn
- their lessons, .if you will. Occasionally,
let the child that has found something too
y interesting to "lc kept to itself, be per
milted to read it aloud to the teacher or
to the school. Lessons in articidat ion and
in vllice-culture may be given ris,such, at
the proper time. They are n?t necessarily
etielllFeictl with reading lessens. The old
'cr pupils May, also take lessons in chm
. Owl, if the teacher know holy t. 9 tetoli it.
1 - actitiou belongs " to. si efikin i g rather
than 10 reading. Let it be studied in its
- own place, and,for.its own use
I=INI
Our ecomcqi scbool studies;ntiserably
fail to make iutGlligcut p9ople.'L Aritivne
tie, grammar mid , gt ography may help to
disdprine the mind, but they do not reed
the intelligent!e. Our literature cur
be ,, k—th s •se ate our storehouses of
knollledge. Books are the elicapest and
1 est of all teachers to r i those who love
and can use them. A. reading people can
never be an if:roof-ant pcuple. The children
who read stories v.lll lelru to r!.4 . books.
They will pa - ss froin stories to history,
poetry, philosophy, science, and the whole
round of learning, and especially if the
other party 6f their school work be well
done..
- : The cost of the story books will be less
than the prices of the discarded- reading
books. 'Economy is on the side of reform:
The schools will gain in interest and fruit
fulness Dull . iihcllects will awaken.
Thoughts will kindle. Talk will be heard, -
hill of imagination; reasoning, conjecture.
, and fruitful debate. The other lessons
- will be better learned, both because of
the increased intelligence, and to win the
time for more reading. Good readers will
be muitiplied. The terrible monotone
E *ill cease ; and our children, no longer
spoiled by pretended - reading lessons, will
read as naturally, easily,. arid pleasantly
as they talk.—.N. E.. Journal of Educa

Hints fat the Work of eel Month.
The Corts'Orop, furnishes in. May
the chief employment of the *orthern
and Western farmers., Planting ear
lier than the first week - in this month
is scarcely advisable, as a late frost_
'may render it necessary to repeat the
work. It is safer to leave the plant
ibg until the ground is warm and the
weather settled. A crop planted in
April, may 14 in June considerably
behind one planted two weeks later.
Replanling.—There is always more
or less replanting of corn to be done
because of loss by cut worths, crows,
and weak plants. It is well to have
a bed made in a warm sheltered place
which may ise . planted thickly at the
same time as the main crop, to pro
vide plants to: replace the lost. The
vacancies in the field may be filled
from the bed by : transplanting on a
rainy day, or when the ground, is
wet atter a warm rain. It-is not gen
erally known that corn may be suc
cessfully transplanted. .1
Plowing for Corn.—lt is a gees
thin whether we could not advantag
eously let our grass lands remain,
rather than plow them up for a corn
crop. "A. sod for corn," has been
the rule hitherto, but circumstances
beybnd our control, are forcing new
'conditions upon us. One of them is
the necessity for producing more
meat, milk,. cheese ani 'butter, and
less grain than formerly, and for
these - we need grass or rather green
crops. Corn is a giand crop and
our cliinate suits it, but the best
corn we can grow is net so profit
able as roots. Our practice mast
change as the times change, and it
seems i robable that we can no long
er sacrifice an excellent sod for the
corn crop.
Hills or .Drills.—lt has been prov ,
ed that by planting in drills, g larger
yield of corn can be .produced than
from hills. In place' of hills 3 ft.
apart each way, make drills 3, ft.
apart, and drop the seed every
18 inches. In the' first' case there
are 4,040 hills-and in the latter'B,4oo
to the acre. Two stalks may be
grown in each hill, or it there are 3
stalks in the former case, there, will
be 14,520 'stalks, and 16 i 000 in the
latter, with one good ear to a stalk
—which is possible,--there will be
145 bushels in the one case, and 168
in the other to the acre. if this is
possible, and there is no doubt of it,
why, should it not be attempted? .
Fertilizing in the Hill.—A small
quantity of active fertilizer applied
in the hill at planting' will be ben
eficial.
-;
A handful , of a mixture of
10J ponnds of fine bone dust, •1 bar
rel of wood ashes and 1 barrel or]
poultry manure, thrown near but
not on the seed and 'Well mingled
with the soil, will hasten the young
growth. The earlier the start and
they more vigorous the young growth,
the,more rapid the clop will mature.
grass.Lands.—Rolling the mead
ows with
. a heavy roller will level the
surface by reducing the hummock,
sinking stones and sticks; or roots,
and compact the soil abouthe roots
and so strengthen the grass.. A light
dressing, 'lO lbs. nitrate of sods 'per
acre, for instance, will encourage the
growth and add largely to'the yield.
Clover Fields will be benefited by
the application of a bushel or two of
plaster, as early this month as poss
ible. 'I here is no better place on the
farm to put wood ashes than on
clover., Circumstances, already re
ferred to, are tending to make clover
a more important crop than - we have
regarded it,' as a preparation for
wheat and for green feeding. For
this use some of the annual varieties
may be sown.
• Roots are the most valuable pro
ducts thgt we can grow. One acre
of mangels or bbets may he made to
fed 2 or 3 cows for a whole , year.
This is more than can be done from
an acre of any. other" product. To
grow mangelSl successfully they
should -he sown this month, before
the 20th if poSsible. After mange's
come sugar beets and blood beets,
which may be sown early in June,
but are better sown in May.* There
are several varieties of yellow-fleshed
mangels, which are thought more
valuable than - the red varieties.
Webb's Yellow Globe, the Yellow
fleshed Tankard, the Long Yellow,
and some = other varieties of this
color, are already introdueed here,
and are found to 'succeed well. They
are more solid than the large red
I varieties. ,

• Fodder Crop.—After the April.
sown-fodder, crops, will -come the
early kinds of Sweet Corn - to be cut
in June and July, after: the clover
has been feed oir, as a change, or to
follow early-sown oats. During May
winter rye will be cut and - fed, and
meanwhile a portion of ; the clover
should be pushed ahead to follow the
rye. Some early varieties of Cab
bages, of which the writer finds Fot
tter's Early- Drumhead the best for
tbe'purpose -on his soil, should. -he
planted : out as: soon as - possible for
the cows. A head of this variety,
weighing 20 lbs.tis a goOd mid=day

Insect Pests.—N o quarter should he
given to the insect pests which
remain year after year simply be
cause we permit them. The Potato
Beetle exists so 'plentiful, because
some careless farmers actually breed
breed myriads of 063. Many fields,
of potatpes were abandoned to them
last year, and the neighboring coun
ty. was thus stocked for this year.
This is one insect that might be
abolished by a combined effort for a
year Or two. Anothert is the cattle
Gad-fly, which now may be found in
the backs of the cows and oxen in
small lumps or tumors, called war
bles. The grubs may be squeezed
out of these tumors ihrough the
breathing holes, and destroyed.
Otherwise they will escape, change
to flies, aria continue the thischief.
Horses.--A moderate -quantity of
green rye will be very acceptable to
the horses. It will have a healthful
effect, and will cool the system- as
well as a dose of medicine. When
there are no stones in the fields, the
shoes may be removed from the
plow team for a time, with , benefit.
Hurry up the work - during this
month, so that as the, mid day beat
increases next month,- some leisure
may be taken.
Oxen as beasts of draft areln some
places better than horses. They re
quire different treatment from horses
and especially in the, spring, when
warm weather opens. Sufficient time
should be given for them to feed, and
being slow of motion, they should be
driven accordingly. In working
small farms oxen will be found more
economical ' than horses, and a pair
may be useful on a large &rm.
Cotos.—Now _that cows are folly
on the pastures, supply them regular
ly with salt. One ounce a day is
sufficient, :sad it will prevent possi
ides injurious effects of the fresh suc
culent food which otherwise might
appear in the form of severe and
dangerous disorders of the blood.
A noon feed of hay with a quart of
cotton•seed meal will be useful this
Month, until the grass becomes less
succulent. •
Calves—The thriftiest calves
should be closely watched when
turned to pasture, least they be at
tacked with "black quarter." - This
is the effect of too rank and waiery
food which impairs digestion. An
oune of Epsom salts may be given
with advantage to - each 'calf when
turned out, as.a precaution Against
this frequent danger. •
A Change of food.—is to be arcade
cautiously. The stomach and bowels
are easily disordered by the sudden
and serious change made at thinsea-,
son, and during the fi rst month the!
substitution of grass or clover fort
dry food should be gradual. 114
first symptoms of anything wrong iu
cows, is a shrinking of the milk, or .a
loss of appetite.
Sheep - and Lambs.—Ewes froth
•whichiambs -have beeniaken, should
be rellevekdf some of their milk if
their . f' udders Are-- full. The flock
should be counted twice a day, and
carefully examined for anything that
may be amiss. Ewes to be fattened
may be fed liberally.
-Washing Sheep.—The pfactice of
washing sheep befote sheering is very
disagreeable, and is unnecessary.
Nothing is gained in the price of
the wool—in fact, the usnalpieduc
tion made by wool buyers" for un
washed wool leaves an advantage
with the seller. The practice is dan
getons to health of both men and
sheep, and may well be abolished.
Pouffry.—Young chickens will
thrive best when they are kept dry
and clean, and moved frequently-to
fresh ground., There is no 'better
place for a coop than the garden
through which the chicks " will
wander freely, picking up 9r driving
off many insects. A bed
_of young
cabbages may be kept clear of ilea,-
beetles, and other crops may be prii•
served in a simular manner, by a few
broods of Provide an abund
ance of clean water, tight shelter
overhead and a dry floor. There
will rarely be gapes if this plan is
followed.—American Agriculturid.
