THE MOWERS MINTY mann=
The Teachere Institute, es provided by
Jaw, will comMencoMondaY, August 11th,
and continue for two weeks. One of the
most successful and profitable institutes
ever held in - the county was held last year,
and continued for two weeks.
The Institute is to be conducted on a
Tian similar to the one followed last year.
'lle Institute late serve as a school - for
the teachers in receiving instruction in
the branches required to be taught, and
bow to teach those branches.
The Comman complaint of the teachers
throughout the Commonwealth generally
,is—thatthe instruction is too theoretical,
` l and not of such a character as to benefit
the teachers much. This ellarge could;
not justlyrbe made in regard to the Insti.
tute last year—and from the prOgrarnmi
made, out by Superintendent Ryan for ,
this year's work,-it will be still less open
to such a criticism.
The work is to be done by the teachers
theniseives,aNi all will have plenty to
do. If any of the teachers contemplate
coming to the 'lnstitute to have a • good.
time and nothing to do, we hope they will
at once banish such thoughts front their
minds, for they will certainly be deceived
if they do nod, Anypdrson attending the
Institute with any other -object than to
- work, studyjearn, and progress as teach
ers is not worthy to be celled a teacher,
and should at once abandon the calling.
The opportunities of having the instruction
which will be given free; should bring out
a large number who often . neglect to at
tend these gatherings.
We judge of theprofessional zeal of a
teaeher by Lis regularity at County Inati-
totes and educational meetings. A teach
ers who' never attends County Teachers
Institutes nor Teachers' Asspciations, is
generally found to lack the.4.mbitionand
zeal necessary to make a Sod teacher,
and as a result - is able to get asix month's
certificate only, or none at all..
If the teachers were the only sufferers
from such a course . ; we would - not raise
our voices against such, but Since the peo
ple, the children, aild the men and, wo
men of twenty years bend!, are to suffer
the penalty for your lack of knowing how
to teach. is being poorly qualified for the
practical affairs of life, we claim the right
to denounce such a course, prejudicial
and yninous to our welfare hereafter.
Considered from this stand point, we.
claim that the School Directors should be '
careful to hire those teachers only who.
can present the best certificates, and
know from the notes of \ the Superintend
ent's visits, etc., that they are successful,
energetic, and ; zealous workeis the
cause they have espoused.
If persistent - study and industry is not
compatible with-Your ,temperament and
dispositiOn, we advise you to seek some
other employment than Nil- of teaching.
If you desire to become practical,
.well
prepared teachers, you should not fail to
attend the Institute, commencing August
Pros son H. E. Hsitsv.v, who has
bpen Principal of the Canton Graded
•;~choii4 for the past three years has ac
epted the position of Principal of the
graded schbol at \Vellsboro; Tioga Coun
ty. Professor Itaesl4 is<zn excellent
teacher, a good disciplinttriun, and , a
pleasant and genial gentleman, and we
shall miss him at 'our, County Institutes
and Teachers' Associations. We tregret
.'to lose the services of so able a l teacherin
the county, but "what is outil6sis is their
g-,ain," and he has our best wishes in 'his
new field of labors
1. P. 'LITTLE, Superintendent of Suili
tan County, will conduct a Normal Insti
tute at Dushore, commencing August 4th,
and to continue not loss than six weeks.
This Institute is for the benefit of the
teachers in the county ; it is intended for
a review of the common branches, and in
;.traction in thetiry and practice of teach
ing. We think the teachers of Sullivan
County s'hould avail themselves of theop
portunity. presented for improvement. •
COUNTY Superintendent Ryan bas visit
ed all the schools in the county during the
iitst year of his official term except two,
.vbich were terniiorarily closed. Ninety
schools were 'visited twice during the
•
riame time. This shows what energy and
dairing work ticill,do. We do not believe
4 tlmt . the number of visits during the year
Isere exceeded by auy Superintendent in
tire State, even where the territory to be
traveled over may have:been much less.
CoNirosiNo should be a regular exer
ci,:c in every well regulated school. It is
,finite as important to be able to express
°Ur thoughts on paper as it is to know
how to write. How many mistakes occur
" I every day in business 'by not knowing
how to write even a common business let
ter. Composition is quite as practical in
every day life as many of the branches
now taught in our common schools.
MANY of 411 e impressions received in
childhood influence the . person in after
life, for good or for evil. Teachers should
bear this in. wind and be careful in their
words, acts. and deodi4 that they may in
fluence their pfipils inlY for good in after
life.
TIIF. TEATTER.-
Thti teacher is resprinsible for the. intel
lectual progress and training of his .pu
-lil for the health and moral truing to a
certain extent, and for the habits -which
he inculcates.
Is proportion as tilt!, people become ed
ucated, they will require better teachers,
and the people will become better educat
ed in.tbe same ratio that the teachers be
`come better qualified to teach.
Tut 13oaid of Directors of Towanda
Borough have decided to have but nine
mouths school during the present school
year. Heretofore it has been ten.
Tye - teachers in Susquehanna and Sulli
van Counties maintain -an Educational
Department in their respective county
papers.
ALL the graded seiToola in the county are
vow closed, - and d Will not open until the
latter part of Aiigust and early part of
SePtember.

A LOVELY SCENE,

WING THE BONANZA KING.
E. J. Baldwin, everywhere - *mown
as Lucky Baldwin, worked on his
father's tarn when young in Indiana.
After.twenty.five years of Witt at va
rionffpuranits be drifted into the be
tanza district, Nevada, and ins few
yea* by well judged venture in min.
Ing stocks, realized some millions.
He became publicly known by •build.
ing the " Baldwin," now so favorably
known as a popular house, on Mar
ket street, San Francisco, 275 by 210
feet. Included in "
,the .structure is
Baldwin's Theatre. 'The whele; in
cluding furniture, cost $3,000,000.
Traveling through Los ,Angelos
county, he fancied and bqught a
Spanish grant of 60,000 acres of
beautifully watered garden land, and
laid it Out in prinely style. Of this
13,000 acres are moist bottom land.
needing no irrigition. Outside ofl
`this he has artificially irrigated most
of the property by means of iris miles
of eight inch pipe, and beautiful lakes
are formed here and there, with'rustic
bridges and other adornments. Some
fifty rustic cottages are the hhines
his army of working people. All
forts of farm buldings are tastefully
arranged, and flowing artesian springs',
abound of purest water. The orchard
has 1,200 acres, with 18,000 orange
and lemon trees, 2,000 almonds, 500
Italian chestnut trees,' 80 acres of
English walnuts, 500 acres of choice
grapes, innumerable apples,
.pears,,
plums, peaches and tige r He has 60,-
000 enlyptus trees of' twenty-seven
varieties, and 3,000 pepper trees, our
most ornate evergreen and drooping
vsliely, bearing a profusion of pep
per-looking spice berries. A broad
avenue is laid out, three miles long,
by 120 feet wide, lined on each side
with the eucalyptus trees. In the
centre is a row of pepper trees, mak
ing a graceful shade in that: sunny
climate, and the air is cooled by nu
merous fountains. Soon a mansion
in-keeping with the surroundings will
be erected on arising knoll overlook
ing this fairy land, and, some hun
dred tenantry, with gardens and cul
tivated fields, twill enrich the land
scape and make "this charmed spot a
paradise, where the proprietor can
pass his declining years in peaceful
contemplation or the romance., of his
creation. ,
ARILOGANCY, FITTINGLY REBUKED. I
—ln the Louisiana Constitutional
Convention now in session, Mr.
Allain, once a slave, , recently made
an able speech in opposition to abol
ishing the office of Superintendent
of Public instruction. At its close
an ex-slaveholder offered a resolu
tion.deriding it, because of a• mistake
in grammar, and provided for its
translation into all modern lang
uages. To this Mr. Allain respond
ed: "Mr. Chairman, I was formerly
a slave.. The results of the war eman
cipated me, and simultaneously
placed me, under the obligation
to discharge the duties of citizen
ship. While the gentleman from
Orleans was perfecting himself in
all these languages to which he re
fers, I was Ipieking cotton. The
years that I spent in picking cotton
he deversed to his moral and intel
lectual improvement; yeti! think I
may be pardoned for saying that he
might have put his varied accom
plishments to a more creditable use
than in thus striving to ridicule and
deride me in my effort to promote an
end I consider right and proper." Is
a man moved by such a humane and
intelligent spirit born to be ruled by
others ?

The Btubbles- are now idle upon
niostlarms. • Tbis is not desirable;
dry: weather at' this season seriously
'lnterferes with: plowing, and the work
can not be well done if It is delayed.
As soon as the oats: have been re
moved the ground should be plowed,
,and if the weather continues dry t it
shoisld be cultivated ot worked With
the harrow: -Thu disk 'or wbeetbar
raw is excellent for ;this purpose,
Okherwise a cross plowing should be
given before the ground becomes hard.
The loosened surface will keep the
bottom from drying out.
Wheat requires a line and mellow
soil, it is best if compact, below and
roughish on the top. If there are
any clods, these should be brought
up from below' by repeated . harrow
ings, and broken by the roller or , the
disk barrow. If they can not be
broken up completely they are better
=o>-the top than below the surface.
A roller will break many.
Drilling Wheal--Many farmerstire
testing the practice of cultivating
wheat. We hear of frequent experi
ments in this direction, and these
have generally turned out satisfac
torily. Cultivating or hoeing is easily,
done by drilling the wheat in 16-inch
rows, by stopping every alternate
spout. his not difficult to construct
a simple cultivator that will 'work
the spaces between-the drills. There
are two different wheat hoes in the
market that do the work effectively.
Wheat that is sown broadcast can
not be cultivated. This fact, and the
better condition of drilled wheat,
should be sufficient inducement to
use the drill, if the great saving of
seed and the lessening of labor are
not.
..nye.--Where the soil' is. not good
enough for wheat, .rye will be' sown;
'but, as a general thing, soil that will
make a good crop of rye can be made
sufficiently rich for wheat by careful
preparation, and the use of 250 or,
300 lbs. of artificial- fertilizer. •
• 'Liming Land.—Lime is an old
fashioned fertilizer, but.it should not
for that reason be neglected:, It is
'Cheap, and rarely fails to pay well
for its use-when land is to be seeded
to grass and clover. Forty bushels
per acre of air-slaked lime is usually
spread from the wagon -with 'a long*.
handled shoVel upon the- plowed
ground, and harrowed in with'the
seed. It will d0..n0 harm, to put on
the limeiremediately after the manure
if it is harrowed' in at once. a .
• Swamp Lands.—No better time
than the present offers for the clear
ing of swamp lands. To cut off the
thick growth of weedi and. coarse
grass and.sedges, and burn these on
a dry windy day, will leave thesu:4- ..
'face cleat while it is dry enough to
plow or break up. We' find a disk
harrow, such as the Nishwitz, or new
' modifications of, the old but excellent
idea of, sharp steel disks, to he very
effective for such work. The ground,
when cut up flue, may, be seeded to
grass at once, with a good chance for
a. successful eaten. On swamp lands,
a good dressingof lime will be found
generally useful.
Drains.—Cut these while the
I ground is dry. If they have been
marked, _or laid out previously; the
work can be donenow, at
. half the
cost- of__ doing it when the ground is' t
full of water. This season is betteri
than any- other for reclaiming swamp,.
meadows.
. Digging Swamp' flfuek.— . Muck for
use in the stables and yards, can be
dug during this month and next.
With us contracts can be made at 15
cents a cubic yard, for muck laid
upon the bank. - This is the best way
to get this work done, when the
labor is hired. The excavation ean
be measured with ease and certainty.
A cubic yard measures 3 'feet ';each'
way—long, wide,: and deep: The
muck on the_ bank will: dry, and be
come fine before winter.
Fodder Crops that have not been
used, should be cut and cured for
winter. Sweet Corn stalks, .from
which the ears have been pulled fort
market, should not be left to waste,
but cut up and cured as .soon as the
crop is off. The ground may .be
plowed at once, and sown 'to White
Turnips. There should be no wastes
of fodder, or 'of ground, and every
little saving that is possible should
be made. •
White . Turnips may be sown this
month, and yield a valuable .crop.
The Cow-horn, White Norfolk, Grey
stone, and other quick growing varie
ties will make a good growth, before
the ground is frozen up.
Fall Fallowing.-gxperi ence proves,
:every season, the wisdom of plowing
as much as possible, for" spring sow- 1
incr. Early fall plowing, has the
benefit of fallowing to some extent,
and the earilier it is begun, the more
advantages are derived from it; it is
] more beneficial. on heavy land than
L onlight , but light land.cannot fail to
be improved by it.
•
.angels and Beels.—Root crops
and - field cabbages nee: frequent
cultivation during this month, and
up to the time when the rows become
nearly closed by their growth. So
long as the horse , can .pass along the
rows the soil shbnld be stirred -deep
ly. Sugar-beets are sweeter the deep,
er they are covered in the ground;
white sugar-beets may be earthed up;
'but mangels and globe beets do not
need this; mere stirring the soil is
sufficient. .Thin when needed, ad
pull all weeds that start in the rows.
Clover Seed.—Clover that was
mown early for hay.may be.readyto
cut for seed this Month. if cut early,
the sod may be prepared for wheat.
A clover sod after. the 'seed has been
taken off furnishes rich Soil- for .a
wheat crop. The sod should be plow
ed with 'a jointer, such as the Syracuse
Chilled Pion*, and the - ground well - 1
rolled; the surface may then be
loosened up with a: cultivator before
sowing:
It and Bruises in horses and
cattle should, be washed and dressed
with some emollient application. -The
Veterinary Cosmoline ' a preparation
of crude_ petroleum, has proved an
excellent dressing for damaged skin,
sprains, or bruises,
.on horses, cattle
and sheep , . as well , as for softening
h'rd or contracted hoofs. It has
been found to serve a useful purpose
for mankind as well as for animals.
.llnrsesA run at'pasture at night
will be useful 'fora team, but either
the pasture should be good or the
helms should receive a feed.of grain
before being turned out; pasture
alone will not be sufficient for a tired
horse that is kept at.work every:day. -
Care. of the Feet.—Work, horses
are subject to have dry and brittle
hoofs .while plowing 'on 'Lot, dry
ground. Occasional washing and
application of glycerine or Cosmoline
to the moist hoofs wilt softer . the

Ilmesting the maturing crops,
and weed-killing, are the chief occu
patiims of the month.. The killing
of weeds is of as much importance
noW.as earlier in the season, and is
mentioned with special, emphasis, for
the reason that it is so often neglect
ed. The orchard, nursery rows, and
garden, are often tilled during
the Spring and early . . Summer, but
when, August comes the „weeds too
often, have it all their own way , . This
is'partly due'to.the pressure of other
work, but frequently to negligence.
Too often, as soon as the crop is well
on its way, the hoe and rake are
hung up, and the. - weeds take posses
'sion of the ground and ripen their
seeds in abundance for the next
season's, trouble. Clean culture is
not, possible unless the weeds are
persistently killed throughout the
whole season.
KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN. .
.It is now that theiwell-Planted and
kept .Kitehen Garden makes.its value
felt in abundant slipping' of vegeta
bles for, the table. Though most
vegetables are beyond- serious injury
from Weeds, the various weeding im
plenients should be kept at work in
the garden. A weed: going to seed
now, means many hundred-fold of ita
kind for nest year. If there- is noth
ing. on: a strip where an- early crop"
has been removed, let
_the cultivator
run over it every few;days, but it is ,
better to sow such ,places,' and keep
all the ground incultiVation. Spinach
may be sown, and turnips sown now
will make a good crop. ,
•
Asparagus._—But little can be done
now e_cept to, keep the- large weeds
pulled:out. .• -
- Betini - should not be 'hoed_ when .
the vines are wet, -as .:it is said 'to
make them rust. Plant Refugee for
late crop, .especially for pickling.
Pinch the stem' of Limas off when
they,reach the 'top of the pole.
Beets.—Keep hoeing and thinning,
using the Young, plants, for greens.
Cabbages and Catdifloaters.-L-Set
now; :To'r late use. , Destroy the
. "worms" by catching -the butterfly;
hand-picking, by .. brine sprinkled
over the. plants, or by the use of
water heated - to .18us : '.' •
• Carrots must have clean culture.
When too large to hoe, pull out large
=weeds that show themselves.
. Celery----If not set, should be put
out at once; it will yet make a crop
in well manured moist soil.
Corn.—The. late crop should be
cultivated and Cleared - of--weeds, arid
the soil kept open -and mellow.
Vtioumbers.—Cultivate the soil as
long as the vines will allow it, and
band-pull the. weeds afterwards.
Gather for pickles when of the de
sired size Some like them of the
size of the forefinger', and others pre
fer them even smaller, but the yield
will of course be less if picked of that
size.
Plants.—Seep well cultivated, •
and place straw beneath the fruit to -
keep it from the ground.
•Endire.—Set plants for late crop.
Tie up the leaves when ready to
blanch.
. .
Herbs should be cut while in early.... -
,flower, made into bunches, and dried ,
sloirly in the Slade. • A
iftgoim.—Those - which set too late /..."
to ripen should be picked off. If the
ound is mulched
.with straw just as
,the, vines are beginning to run, it. ill
save hoeing, and keep the fruit from
the ground. If the fruit is occasion
ally turned it will ripen better. 31usj:
melons are ripe when the stem sepa
- rates from the fruit. A ripe •water
melon is known, by the peculiar and
charrieteristie sound when thumped;
easier remembered than described.
• Qnions.—Harvest as soon as ripe,
and when well dried, store mean airy
place. Onion "sets" - should be kept
where they will nut heat and decay. •
Potatoes.-Dig' the' early crop as
soon as' the vines ' wither and die
down. Burn
,the vines, as they may
contain the potato-rot fungus.: Mar
ket
at once.
• Seed.--As a general -thina - it is
cheaper and more convenient to get--
seeds of the 'regular seedsmen than
to save them. But if any are saved,
let them always be of the earliest,'
fairest, and best specimens.' -
Squashes.—Watch thi. vines for
injurious insects. full-out the weeds,
when you can not hoe any longer.
Sired Potatoes.—DO - not let the -
vines root at the joints, as numerous
small potatoes will form there at the
expense of large ones. '
Tomaloes,—Destroytnelargegreen
worms by hand-picking. Provide la
Cheap frame of - stakes and poles, or
place straw under the vines, to keep
the fruit from the ground. Trim off
the late,branches and flower elnSters,
and thui thrOw all •the nonrishriient
into the fruit that is sure to ripen.
FLOWER . GARDEN AND LAWN
% If the weather. is dry,, watering in
the flower garden will be a necessity.
This can be done with most-effect'
and comfort towards sundown.. The -
weeds will alwa.yS grow, and must be
kept out with hoe and rake, Care
is the watchword Of the month. 'The
beds should be kept in order by Oil
ing and 'trimming, especially- if they
are of - the so-called foliage plants,
And represent formal designs. -
/1///bi of spring flowers should now
be taken Up, -;
Dahlias are to be secured to stout
stakes firmly set in the ground. Cut
off the old flowers as fast as they
have faded away. Pick oft grass
hoppers.
ghriiiotatises will need stakes to
the flower stalks.
Lawns and Edgings should be kept
closely cut. Lawn mowers are so
perfect new, that there is no excuse
tor not- having ,a well kept laWn.
Large weeds can be taken out with
an - old chisel fixed to a handle. Keep
the drives' clean by frevent raking,
and occasionally use the hoe along
edges.
