He made many good points which should be remembered by teachers. The responsi bility is endless, extending beyond the school hours and school ground, and only those who love the work should engage in it;-but when teaching, should make the good of the school paramount. As only the best ability should be employed, so the best pay should be given. A vote of thanks was tendered to General Madill. A. T.

After intermission Professor Ryan con tinued his talk'; he explained the necessi ty of granting yearly and semi-yearly cer tificates, and urged, teachers to patiently qualify themselves wherein deficient, and if impossible to attend ,school, teachers may accomplish much by reading and stu dying alone. He anticipated a time when teachers shall receive a more just recom pense, but till that time let teachers work earnestly and conscientiously. requires a good deal of heroism to be a good teacher, and much tact to overcome the caprices. .of the peOple.

As tin example of the sublimity of language, he read a passage from Job, and to shim, how language may be con densed; an kxtract from President Lin coln's speech at Gettysburg, which is con sidered .one of the most perfect 'composi tions in the language.. He also read from " Po4ia'sAppeal to Shylock," . and "Nearer Dome," by Phmbe Cary. Ife next considered the careless use of lan guage or "slang," and, read. many ex tracts, hoping that the tendency would be to disgust all who used it, and as the audience `was mainly teachers, he advised them to take a stand against it, as schol ars are greatly. influenced by example.

Ilona Without Show Oerminkmi Telegraph. Thire continueilii'be a good deal said - on the subject of abandoning the shoeing. Of , horses. A Boston man, some time ago, declared that a horse, whether on the farm or road, or in 'the hard' work on the stone pavements . of -the city, could stand the labor just as well without as with shoes, winter and summer. g this is ' a fact it would be a marvelous dis covery to be made only in this day of enlightment, and of invention and discovery; but we fancy that there is next to nothing in it, as we have heard no more from the Boston man. Bat the matter : has been warmly urged ,in other places, especially in England, and notably in London, 'Where much comment has been made on the proposition. One person, who_ gives, his name, writes in. the Times of that city,' saying that when a horse belonging to him required a renewal of the shoes, he bad them entirely ;removed, and turned him out 'a month to pasture, when he was' given a mile. or.two of driving while the hoof was. hardening. During the month's pastining the-hoof had been worn down beyond the boles where the nails had been clinched, and' of course left the shell • very thin and - tender; but after this the hoof grew thick and hard, quite unlike what it had been before, When he put the animal to full work, and he stands. it well, and is _more -sure-footed. 1133. bad been regularly shod before. All horsemen know that ,after the shoes are removed and: a horse is turned to grass the hoofs wear very much the first,month, so as to leave the shell very thin and tender; and they also kn,ow that if pasturing is continued for two or ,three months, the hoof grows again' and becomes 'very thick and hard. This is the normal condition of the hoof. But few horsemen arc aware, or are like ly tq become aware, that the shoe can be dispensed with upon our hard roads, paved streets, etc. Wb regard it as next to. an impossibility. If otherwise, it is hardly conceivable that shoeing would have been thought of, and the heavy expense attending it submitted to. No, gentlemen, ire. must have better .proof of -your proposition or discovery, before we shall regard it as worthy of, eon". sideration. A New Breed of Geese . . . A writer in a foreimi journal . de- Voted. to agricultural interests strong- . ly recommends the.:: introduction of the Japanese goose, into poultry - yards. .This goose , is as nearly beau tiful apPearance as it is possible for laz goose to be. jt, is equally at home on land or water, and all its movements are graceful 'and swan like ;. - they: withstand changes -of climate-even better, than our domesti cated geese, and can be kept without shelter even - in the most severe whiter. season.; The Japanese goose is much 'more ;prolific than the. - Ordinary breeds, -- and commences laying in midwinter, rarely .. showing 'any incli nation to sit, before June or July, which, a course renders it necessar'y to batch their egg's under n.dinary fowls-of some: good hen y breed: The,. Cochins. have been ound best adapted to this purpS AS regards food these birds are Iby no means fastidious, and the• yield of featheis andAlown is deScribed as something wonderful to see. . . • GOOD fSfOCK. Pates-lam no writer —never!attempted to Write for, the paper before. But I would like "to tell •my brother farmers that good stock pays.. Ten years ago" bought a pair of Berkshires, paid sixty dol 7 tars for them, and,- although •I was called a "fool," • and "crazy," that pair brought me nearly eight hundred dollars, and I regard my Stock now Worth three- hundred dollars. ' The - sow raised seven litters; sixty-four pigs, which I Told at ten dollars cinch. This is direct. The value of the boar,. used on my common and grade sows, cannot be correctly told, but I esti mate it at, half as at least, as. theTigs-soldovhich would bring the total realized from - the pair 'up to about $1;2:00. I think the grade pigs from this. boar have averaged tifty pounds heavier thafi the common . stock would, which, in a lot of twenty pigs killed or sold . every year, is no small item. I tell yon, goOd stock, properly handled, - pays a - big profit on the investment, every time. There are hundreds of , your readers, • no doubt, who can show as good, or. better, records than this, and they card do their brother farmers nostbet teilserviee than to let it be known...—. Practical .Farrier. . Bunn N 0.—13 ading fruit trees can be.continned duririg the forepart; of August: It. is not,. as difficult as grafting, but like the latter it must be understood just. how it is to be done, though this is' easy to') by giv ing it a little attention. • ,To cut a bud from a parent branch it should take about an inch and a half. of the bark and wood, the . bud being about• the-cents; and •in setting it cut a,. slip in Ws, bark - only, say two inches = in length, and at the top make a cut across the slip; then carefully raise the bark up with the knife and insert Mu the end. Do it as neatly as pos sible, ,Then wrap around the entire slit and up the .bud bass. matting, using strips about' a. foot long and a - half inches in width, and tic in a knot. Of • course the branch or stock irr which the . bpd - is set remaining just as' it was before, no tapping,or cutting Off. The budding of . peach trees is best deferred until August; and is ...always adopted instead of grafting, which is not successful with this fruit. Persons who failed - in doing their'. grafting • in the spring can substitute budding,_ and thus loge no time. KEEP LIME WATER.-A "handy ,thing "14 have in the house iS a jar or bottle of lithe water.-- Four water over unsldeked lime (the quantity is not important, as 'a certain - amount will, be slacked,) and cork Up for use. A spoonful of. the liquid stirred into milk, cream or bread sponge' in dan aer of souring, will prevent that ca- Eagtroplie. It -also cleanses .bottles, .etc., that have an unpleasant odor. A person who needs milk, but whose digestion is so weak as-not to. man age it, will find mi. inconvenience if into a glass Of the 'lacteal fluid- is 'stirred a wine glags of lime water. Vie difference in..taste is not percep tible.- • A Connecticut farmer, after a series of experiments, has concluded that English turnips art worth twenty-live cents a tinshel as - feed for cows: , He says the proper time to feed them is ins! , before milking. -
