EZP NORMAL •By unanimous vote at last Institute, 300 teachers decided to bold another two Weeks' session at same time and place— Towanda Graded School, August 11th to 22nd. No (Afar - county in tbe .Btete, a Deputy !Superintendent intimates, did or would maintain such ern Institute as the one held by. our, teachers last August. This remark was a merited compliment to the efficiency and ability of our teach ers, and would silence chronic grumblers about.school matters were not "people convinced against will of the same opinion still."' The Superintendent, lag year, experi enced many misgivings at attempting many innovations in the Institute work— but was much gratified at the satisfaction of the teachers, and their expressed 6. 7 I: sire to vie the Institute similar -this year. • . This ti l e of year is selected because the only one when schools are not in ses sion—rural schools just closed and higher schools soon to commence. _ Two weeks' session is approved because teachers . feel that the short . ses=• sions usually held have served to tickle rather than teach, that two weeks' are ~ short: enough to'review, and give methods in the advanced as well as elementary -portions of our book& . Towanda and Graded School Honsi) are preferred - because it requires a large town and large building to aecominalate 800 to 400 teachers, especially when the Insti tute is divided into a dozen sections( ) for drill and school-work ; also because most Centrally locate and most easy of tress for all. Many More would have been present l.;st•year—and will be this season—had they known that the plan meant practical ieork, not theoretic and visionary talk. Let every be present and make ,--.. by far the largest Institute in the county, andeven much better than last year. REVIEWS. •'-A nail well driven will support a great weight." The same nail driven and clinched will support a greater weight. i Daily reviewing is the clinching process. Teachers and ptipils are often mortified at failures in branches well taught and* understood at time of reciting and study, but'npt continually reviewed.• Devote a minute or two of each recitation to a re-' view of preceding portions 0 , the bOok, or to tsn t application of some Of the prin ciplo.Have a general reiriew. of the term's work in all classes of the school during the last day or two, and make special effort to have parents present. .By perional Observation the parents, can pins judge each term of the progress - of puPils, and the success of the teachers.; Thitrlicill prove a very efficient means of securing the interest and sympathy of pa 'rents, and place first-class teaching at a premium, and indifference and mediocri ty at a diseoitnt. Only the drones and leeches in the educational ranks will fear or fail to make the effort. • • Graded and High Schools clod the tern's work with'suah exercises in pros- cum of patrons to the decided benefit of teachers, pupils and. peoople. We have as good teachers on in average, as in any county of the Commonwealth—earnest, progressive, and only needing 'a good sug gestion to at once test it in school. Teachers,. by- these reviews, convince the people that first-class teachers do that class' work in out rural schools, as-well as iu graded schooAs and academies. • ?tar DRAWING.—The school - taught during the :winter by W. H. Horton was recently visited, and specimens of map drawing from Suinton's Geographies by pupils under diron of teacher, - observe that are unaurp+sed in the county. The common plaster walls about the sides of the room are covered with maps of Penn sylvani.a; Bradford County, UMW States,. Grand Divisions, and Hemisphere& The maps are three to' four feet square, finely ; -finished with colored crayon, really bean tiful, and as serviceable to schools as wall maps costing $2 to $5 each. Similar work was noticed in Miss Lucy Elliott's school, and it is said other schools in the same township and other districts contain such work. This shows the benefit' of map drawing, and the economy to district schools that is possible throughout the county. Such progressive teachers should receive the gratitude and support of tbe. people in educational matters in prefer ence to tbose who disregard such work because it.costi some effort. Let us have ' tll our school rooms thus fumbled. Mary of our spelling books are defec tive from containing lists of uncommon words in the body of the book instead of in, the , appendix: Az, few days since we beard a lesion pronounced, without any definitions from teacher, containing such words air humoross; clavicle, termer, and aga l in, platinum, magnesium, nitrogen, etc. Such lists of words as we Have said being uncommon, should be in the back part of the book as many have pupils learn everything in rotation, oven then they slioull not be given unless the pd. pils in some way am taught the meaning. Before dismissing the class have advanced lesson pronounced as an aid to intelligent study of lesson. Attention to these hints will result in much 'better work In this important branch, as also in reading. , If five words per day were well learned during • - the school life—from six to sixteen years of age—the student would have a vombnla ry of 5;000 words.. Few persons—even well edutated—have more than 3,000. ijOßr TO TEACH.-A. few hints ere an neied that may be of service to some in perienced teachers : ! . . ' ORTHOGRAPHY. Require the Pnnils before having lesson - pronounced to open books and rapidly pronounce the words. While doing this teach them to accent correctly, as well as Speak the letters properly and to know the meaning and use of marks -of accent of ordinkry diacritical mark* Show them that-these same marks are timed in voCab+ nlaries, in geographies, in dicdtinaries, reading books, as well - as spelling books; and must be learned 'to be able to pro: flounce well, or even to study the spelling lesson properly. Explain to them the meaning of, or give definitions to import, ant words: Require them to mention $ : short sentence containing ono of ,these words correcctly used, until familiar with the tife of the important words.. Give no longer lessons than pupils can so prepare as to spell every word correctly. Never 'let a pupil try twice on a word—the last time will be guessing. Omit"-the lessons * containing lists of words that von do not know the meaning of, until you VIII !earn 'the* to instruct the pupils. primary reading pupils should be required to pronounce the ittirdslit tlik Veld of thew tWillrelsenne 'staidly at keit 'anti letters. If unable to do this, of worse they will stop on such words when read ing. After a *itonoe has been read by a pupil, unless well rendered, the teacher should read it end then have it repeated mita Ora rscrkilruki loteirtellii.

Accent, emphasis, in flection, force, rate, and quality, should be thoroughly taught. PIeRMANBRIP.—Every. pupil• should be taught to write.

Wheat and Bye,-,lt there was any doubt about: the best time for cutting grf*the genend.experi eum lastyeso. wept - far ,tawards set tling the question.. Ali, over the country a hot sPeIL came on just as the cutting became genero, and the grain abrank , badly..•s.uh the bar vest been a' few days earlier, the total gain would have been enormous.. In:the writer's field, stopping- the cutting for, the. ; 4th of , July holiday last season,. caused a Kiss of .$lO.O. in the of. the grain and in the ,shrinkage of weight and. bulk, As soon ae .. the grain is - wild, but Will still crush dry between the anger nails, it may be cat, and` hot weather will not injure/it. in the shock as it , will when Mending. Dead ripe grain ienot only, less - valuable, bat the straw is worth less than if, ;tit three Or four dayi earlier. • Hay Caps will serve a good pur pose upon grain shocks, and arc much more secure than cap sheaves. • Rake the Me:ds after the grain has been - drawn; the labor will be well re . paid. Protect the Horges.—A cotton sheet Wit he 'found a great protection to the hoises Working in the harvest Held. It screens thern from tlie heat, from the dies, and from dust, and the labor of cleaning thenri is lessened. As mentioned last month, it ,will be found desirable, when horses are wash- 1 ed, to use a soft sponge and water in which some carbolic soap has been dissolved. 'This cools the skin, as sists prespiration, removes the strong pungent smell, greatly , refreshes the animals, and drives away flies. Where there is a riv er near by, I bath in the evening will be agreeable and safe, if the horses are kept in the water only two or three minutes, are driven home at and rubbed • dry. .i. A Scraper for the' Horses may be made of a piece ,of old scythe, with the edge dulled on the stone; with this the . Sweat or moisture, after washing, may be easily removed.' I Green Feed for. Horses.—Give a share of the' green fodder when horses do not run at pasture. If at • pasture af t night, a generous feed should be given before they are turn , ed out. Corn should not be neglected in the hurry of harvest. Frequent culti vation hastens growth and the ma turing of the crop. To see the dif ference, leave' a' row or two uncuiti- Lvated. Much hand work' later in , the season may be avoided by 'a little work with the cultivator, and ; by keeping the weeds down. Fodder-Corn may yet be sown. A rye or wheat stubble may be plowed and planted in drills with 3 bushels of corn per acre. The large Westerq or Southern corn, or Evergreen Sweet Corn, may be used. ,Some extra good ammoniated superphosphate, with pettish added, 'or special• corn fodder fertilizer,' should be sown broadcast and harrowed 'in before planting. Dropping the fertilizer in the 'drill does not answer well for corn when other manure is not used broadcast. Roots.—Sow Ruta-bagas early this month, and I -White Turnips_ • later. Superphosphate of lime, or fi ne bone ' dust, is specially adapted for these crops. A stubble may be prepared for them by giving one good plowing and harrowing; a cross harrowing a week later will kill many small weeds. One of the hand garden drills Will sow ' these small .seeds. ' The ridger or marker, described last 'month, page 225, will be found very useful: in pre paring the ground for these crops- Potatoes,--After early potatoes are dug for market, they may be follow ed by Cabbages.—ln planting late cab bages on potato - ground there is no need to plow the , whole area before planting. Plow open furrows, 3 , feet from center to center, and mark out by cross furrows 2 feet apart. Drop a forkful of manure at each crossing; close the furrows over the manure, and, set the plants in the lines of the cross furrows. 'After the planting is finished the ground may be worked opt with a light plow ors ,cultivator. Fodder Crops - .---Bungarian Grass, common Millet, or Golden Millet, may be sown this month for green fodder or bay. A bushel of seed per acre ~m ay be. sewn, though rather thick seeding, the fodder will be all the finer and better for it. * Millet that was sown in 'May should be cut before the seed is ripe or the fodder gets bard, unless the seed is wanted. Millet seed 4 makes an excellent ad dition to ground feed when mixed 'with corn and rye. Puck:cheat may be made profitable upon a piece of rough or newly clear ed ground. No' other crop is so effective In 'mellowing rough cloddy land. The seed in northern locali ties'should be sown before Julyl2th ; otherwise early fall, frosts may catch the crop. Grass and clover may sometimes be sown succesifily with buckwheat this month. Seeding to .Grass alone.— r Liiat year the writer sowed ft piece of -4- fallow ground to Orchard-Grass and ; Crover, on the first day of August. The ground was thordiughly' prepared in July, and was top-dressed with short manure harrased in. Three bushels, 42 lbs. of Orchard-Grass seed, and half a peck of clover were sown,and covered by drawing a , smoothing plank diagonally across the harrow marks. This covered the seed even ly, and smoothed -the ground. "The presett year one crop of hay, eqtial tta , 2 tons per acre, was taken in May, and , the -after growth will give a second crop this month. or next. .Coots,—A. cool, dark, delta stable for the cows, is for many reasons preferable, -to a , - hot pasture , in the middle of the day. Cows that have been kept up oh motigrate feed, will shrink in their rnilk,‘con.behtg, turned into a luxurious pasture on. a bet day. —Dry earth or sand makeS a better bedding: •than Straw during the hot season.

More dangerous poisons are taken into the system , with the Water used, than - in any other way: That from brooks - is dangerous, as wash from manure(' 'fields, and soak age from the soil flows into them. Water from dear wells and springs only, should be given to cattle, and if, such precaution - is needed , for them, it is equally so for the owners. - Much avoidable disease is due to im= pure water. csaLtan ANU NURSERY. Mcirketing.—Th6 marketing of early fruits, -will be a large part of work of the month. See thiit .crates, baskets, and other packages are at hand, and are tidy, and neatly marked ; always assort the - fruit, making three grades, , firsts and seconds for market, and the third for the pigs. Pack so tight, that it, can not braise in transit. Pruning can be done in this month. Look to an open head , to the tree, that the sun .and air - may read' the. interior: - Orafte . aill need .attention is di rected last month. " Pinch all those that arc growing too vigorously.. , Thinning.—Though rather latn,•it will still pay in the apple and pear orchard's. The first thinning is.rare_ ly sufficient. Better remove the ex cess even though the fruit is of some Size; that - which. remains, will be enough better, to- pay for the labor. Budding should be done as soon - as the buds are , mature, and the bark of the stock rises readily. Several have asked as to describe the method of budding.. It is not practicable to repeat such matters -every year. In August, 1877, we gave plain:direc tions with' engravings; that, or any other nuMber may be had, post liaid; for 15 cents. Insects.—Destroy any Tent Cater pillars' 'wits that may have escaped earlier notice. The Codling Moth is best caught by. bands of cloth or heavy paper, . placed around the trunks; these should be removed once a week, and all worms found under them, killed. Let the hogs eat the wormy. wind-falls. Slugs on 'cherry and pear trees, can be killed by dusting with lime from a muslin _ bag tied to .a pole. Blight.—lfthis ippears, there is but one thing, to do, cut away the blighted twig; branch,. .or whole tree as the case may be. Cut down to bright sound _wood,..and burn the I . removed portions. Young. Trees.—The ,nursery - rows should be kept clear o 1 weeds. The horseloe will reach most of these. Use a short whiffle:tree, wound with cloth, or otherwise protected. Beds of seedlings must.be weeded by hand. Thep shduld be shaded and water d if the weather_ is dry. If seedling evergreens damp oil; sift dry sand upon the bed.. • THE FRUIT GARDEN: Grape Vines.—ln spring we direct: ed that vines plantedjhen should be allowed to bear- but kllngle shoot. It is well to wait until the vines are older before 'putting up a trellis; a stake 5 of 6 .feet-out of the -ground will answer for the first two years Beep the shoot tied up to this; if other shoots' start from the root. or old wood, remove thew. In the aril of each leaf Or where the leaf joins the stem, a shoot-may appear, this is a lateral, do not remove it entirely, but pinch all otl but one leaf;, if it makes another tstart,i, pinch that back to one leaf, and so on, should start again. Should the vine reach the top of the stake, let it take care of itself. tlf the vine Was planted last yeari-and two shoots Are grown, keep these tied to the stake. and treated in the same way. On established vines,. keep the laterals pinched as' above, and when the shoots are long as fly sired, stop them by pinching. lA sects that now. appear are mostly those that can be hand-picked. Mildew.—keep'a careful watch; and if whitish patches appear on the underside of 'the leaf, the growing shoot, or the full cluster, use sulphur at once. Bellows fol. the purpose are 501 d... at the seed and agriefiltural warehouses. Sift the sulphur before putting it .into the bellows, and in using the bellows so•manage it. that a light aloud of the sulphur will be Scattered, to - settle' upon the vines. Chbose a calm day. :Repeat the sul phur after a rain. '1 Strawberriett,lf grown in single ,rows; remove the mulch when the peeking is over, fork - in manure, keep the ground clear of weeds, land re niovo the runners. .
