- A. T. LILLZT. Editor.
Tun late session of the Teachers' Insti
tute held by Stiperintendent Ryan, shows
what'ean be done by a Superintendent
who has the interests ef.,educatlon at
heart, and posseoses the tact and vim to
carry out the spirit of the s)chool laws of
our. Commonwealth.: He who runs can
but read the effect that must be; made on
the schools, of our county .' With such in
strectors-as yrofessora Quinlan, McCol
lum, Horgan, Hillis, Crawford, Moscrip,
Brown and the dcore of conductors of
class drills,. under the charge of a thor
ough drill-master, there is no such a thing
as fail. The teachers have, anffmust con
tinue
to imprUve while,they are instruct
ed and guided by such thorough and leffi
'Emit worhors, who are overeager to pre
sent thenthst approked methods silways
having in view that children should be
taught what they must or ought to put In
pi-actice. There.is but one thing that is
ivally be regretted, and that is that
there were not more school directors pres
ent. If it were possible to have the school
directors of Bradford'County attend just
such session during two weeks, , the
cause of education would 'receive t i iuch an
impetus that we would see still more ra
pid strides in the cause of (tee education.
Graded schools would spring up by the
score; for the directors would see, not
only the benefit, but the actual need of
them. But the wEork that has been done,
and the work that will continue, to be
done, must arouse sonic of the directors,
so that we shall reap some advantage by
More thoroughly grading of the , schools.
There is scarcely a township in the couri
. ty but can, and ought to, sustain a grad
ed school in some central part of the most
settled portion of it. The push that is
l:eing made in the line of education is go
ing to produce many select Schoolg during
the vacation of the public kchools, but it
would be farbeVer for the mass of chil
dren in the 'county if the directors would
upend the same amount that is expend
ed for Select schools, to make the public
schools more effectual, and thus have. the
• school work all.under the supervision. of
the County Superintendent. As an out
growth of the life of the Institute, there
is a fair Prospect of the teachers starting
and maintaining an educational paper.
This move is a good one, and should be
t ncomaged by an_the teachers, but not to
-the detriment or loss of the educational .
columns in the'county papers. This move
should not'only sustain itself, but be 'an
Incentive to those having charge of the
educational columns to be more thorough
and efficient in the work they have been
engaged in during the several years past,
It is hoped that all who are desirous ot
, sustaining the educational columns, will
lend a - helping hand by sending the sever- .
al editors, items` of just such , things as
they like read in such a place.

WHAT must I ask forapound of sugar
_that-costs me 12 cents, provided I gain 10
per cent. on the purchase, make an allow
ance of 12 per cent. on the wastage, and
fall 5 pFr cent, on the asking price?
SolutionLlf there is a gain of 10 per
cent. on the purchase,•the amount receiv
ed- is equal to 110 per cent , of 12 cents, ,
which is 13.2' cents. 13.2 cents is the
- amount' remaining after the wastage of 12
per cent.;'therefore, it is 88 per cent, of
the sellizig'price, hence
_the selling price
is 'equalto 13.2 cents divided by 88 per
cent., that is fifteen cents. If the `selling
puce is - 5 per cent. less . than the asking
price, the selling price is 95 per cent, of
the asking.price, hence 15 cents is 95 per
cent. of the asking price ; if 15 cents is 95
per cent. of the asking
_price, the asking
price is equal to 15 colts. divided by 95
per cent.; 15 cents÷.9s=ls 15-19 cents.

usuar time'for sowing wheat Mid rye.
froth the 10th to - the 15th ,is the
moat popular :time; `but'it' is a
question if it is not better to Sow
earlier: On any but very rich sells,
it takes some tune for the crop to
*get thoroughly well rooted and till
eted, and if tittering is not effected
before winter, it will rarely take place
to any great extent in the spring.
As the yield depends on , the tittering,
the promise of an early sown crop, is
better than that of a late one.
• Eiceptions to this Rule "occur With
very .rieh soils; where an excessively
strong growth ;may . : be looked for,
and the, attacks: of the Ilessiaii fly
must be considered: Time hints, it
is obvious, cannot .be made to meet
every case in a wide itingei - of locali
ties; we give - general information;
which the intelligent • reader will
adapt to . his, oivn circumstances.
Late Sowing for Spring Felder.--.
It has been uttual to sow rye as late
as October or ...November, for green
fodder in the spring. This is not a
Profitable prathice. -
~The rye comes
up very thin and poor, and makes
but a light crop. In the writer's•ex
perience, it hay been found better to
plow the 'ground in the fall, top-dress
it through the winter with fine
manure, and as. early in the spring as
possible, harrow in. 4. bushels .per
-acre of spring rye, spreading :the
manure at the same time with the
disk harroW. thilesr. there is Some
good reason for the .late-sowing of
rye, it should be avoided.
Fertilizer for, Wheat.—Every year's
experience proves theyalue of super
phosphate of lime,. as a special ferti
lizer for wheat. Ail experienced
Wheat grower informs us, that he has
used-'5OO lbs. to the acre,. and that
the crop this: year, has paid - hand
somely, . for the outlay.. Where a.
smaller quantity was used, the yield
was unsatisfactory.
Frequent Mistake is made . in
supposing that if a certain quantity
of fertilizer will have a certain effect,
this effect will be doubled by . doub
ling the quantity of . the fertilizer.
This has led ;to much waste and loSs.
The greatest possible effect is pro . -
duced with a certain quantity, vary
ing according to circumstances; and
each one must discover for himself,
what this quantity. is. . In the case
above quoted, 500 lbs. per acre is the
most useful quantity. Others have
found it -best to, use 600 lbs. and
others again, use only 300 lbs. As a
rule, the largest applications may be
most safely made on soils well filled
.with barn-yard manure, or vegetable
mattes.
The use of Lime.—An application
of lime will be found useful upon any
kind of soil, at least• once in five er
six years It is generally used at
this aetson, with a fall grain crop.
But where lime is employed, it
will be useless to apply superphos
phate, as this.combines with the lime,
and becomes simply phosphate of
lime, which is insoluble. Many farm
ers who have applied superphosphate
Without effect,' may find the explana
tiOn in - the lact, that their soils were
filled with lime, w - Bich rendered it
inert. -
Smut and Rust--These trouble
some diseases of wheat and rye may
be prevented' by, pickling the seed.
The pickle may be made of strong
brine, or of a solution of 4 ounces
sulphate of copper, in one gallon of
water. Sprinkle the seed grain,•stir
thoroughly to wet every• kernel, and
spread to dry. Either of these will,
destroy the sporei, which are the
seed of the parasitic fungi, known by
the 'above names:
Smut in Corn.—Smut is poisonous,
or at least very injurious, and care
should be t.tken to prevent it from
being eaten with fodder. It is be
coming very common in corn. 1•t
might be well to pass through the
corn-fields withia sharp knife and a
basket, and cut off all tlt , bunches of
smut and smutty ears, and carry
them-out where they may be burned.
As one square inch of surface may
contain 4,000,000 spores A:if . smut,
and every spore is •capable of pro
ducing a smutty plant, it is import
ant to carefully destroy - every ball of
smut.
Tarnips.—Tlie cultivation of tur
nips and ruts-bagas, consists of keep
ing free from weeds, 'and thinning
out to a proper distance., One good
root at .every 9' inches, is far better
than two or three poor ones in that - -
space. 'To have good sound roots-of
any kind, sufficient room must be
given.
Bevis and ~llangels.—Early
. sown
beets and mangels, may be harvested
late this month. • If left later, the
roots - may become hollow and
stringy. An over-grown . root .may
be large, but its size.is . no indication
of its value. - We harvest our early
sown mangels as soon as the larger
ones become hollow, and find triey
ripen in the piti as 'Well or better,
than if left in. the 'ground later. The
tops may be , fed to cows or sheep
with benefit., -
Pilling - • .3fangels.—ln pitting
mangels lifted this month, care must
be taken to manage them so that
they will not heat. If- a cool and
well ventilated root-cellar is-provid
ed, there can be no safer place for
there - m. In pitting them in the field,
we gather 20 rows together, which
makes a long heap, not large enough
to. cause-heating. . The roots may be
covered with the tops, or with straw,
held -down -by a few rails. After
wards these rows may be gathered
together into pits and prepared, for
winter.
Ruckwhicit—This Crop, being
easily injured, should be cut after the
first light frost. Low grounds should
be cleared first; upon high ground
fhe crop will not be touched by light
frosts; and here it may be left later.
The: grain - shells so easily that it
should be harvested edtly in the
morning, ' when - moist with dew
,After lying a few days to cure, it
should be raked up when it is moist.
Beans.—lf • wet weather occurs
when beans are reads , to pull, it is.
_necessary to protect them from the
rain. This may be done by driving
stakes in .the "ground, and stacking
the beans around them, and then
covering the top with straw. In
pulling beans by, hand, three or four
rows may be" thrown together, and
left loosely, so that they will cure.
Then, is case of threatened rain,
they may be quickly gathered into
stacks.
-Corn should be cut as soon as it is
ready. Early corn will be ready for
cutting this month, and the stalks
will be much more valuable when cut
green than if left to be killed by the
frost. Frosted corn-fodder will not
cure well, and .is. damaged for use.
When the grain is welt glazed, ! and
hard on the surface, the crop may be
cut. Early cutting 'helps -early
curbs, allows the husking to be done
io good seaeoo, and the fodder to be
housed before winter.
: In • Shockin;ry igorn, the use of good
hands will save much labor and loss.
Some: sheaves of hand-Orashed rye
straw. thoroughly well wetted, will
make tough and strong bands. What
Is much wanted is a permanent and
strong sheaf-band for this purpose,
which Will, last more than one season,
and will serve for corn and other
grain. Osier willow may be profit
ably grown for sheaf-hands.
Polatoes.—Early `potatoes ahould
be d,ug withoui . delay. A few rains
will' start the ripe tubers into -new
growth, to their injury. , Late 'pota
toes should be thoroughly. cleared. of
beetles, before it is too late to pre
vent the ?arm from. retiring to the
ground for maturing. It is the last
brood of insects which stocks the
ground' for the heat nelson.
Rats., fie dariiage by rats is one
of , the most serious losses to which
farmers are subjected. On the whole,
this loss' is doUbtless greater than
that, from all the fires which occur
upon farms. We have tried a prepa
ration called 'Poisoned Wheat," put
up for the purpose of destroying ver
min, and find. it very effeetive. The
'rats disappear; that is all that can be
noticed. 13.ut poison of any , kind
should be used so that fowls or other
animals cannot get to it. To destroy
the rats is now a timely work, and
will prevent much future loss of
grain.
Lire Stock.—Durincr the 'harry of
work at this busy season, the stock
ought not , to be forgotten. One of
the most • important requisites for
health and thrift is regularity in feed
ing and watering. This refers not
only to Mines of feeding, but to quan
tities and qualities of fodder. Now
that areas is past Its best • state, the
stock i ' may have some roots pulled
for them, or some corn-fodder cut,
and young animals will be greatly
benefitted by a little concentrated
fool - It is important that live stock
have a plenty of good fresh water,
especially at this time of the year,
when the herbage does not afford the
abundance of juices of - spring growth.
Sheep,-A rim in afield front which
early roots have been, gather4d will
be beneficial to the flock. It will
help to-accustom them to the change
Of food which will soon be.requira
- Small cir'imperfect roots may be left
imgathered for them, which they will
pick up for themselves. Where early
lambs are .not desired, the ram - S .
Should be .kept separate from the
ewes; or; if it is not convenient, the
ram may be aproned or "bratted:"
Postures.—The droppings of the
animals on the pasture should be
scattered and spread. This not only
manures the field, but prevents
jury to the spots covered with drcip
pings. A dressing of plaster over
the pasture will be.useful, sweetening
the fouled spots, and. so avoiding the
unequal character of the 'surface
Caused by the neglect of cattle to eat
down the herbage in otherwise dis
tasteful places. '
Sundry Matters.—Harvesting ma
chinery should be cleaned and stored'
away. The bright parts may be
kept from Tasting by coating them
with paraffin° or tallow. One of the
best preparations to Protect iron Or
steel from rust is made by melting a
pound of fresh (not salt) lard, with a
1 piece of rosin the size of a hen's egg--
1 the exact proportion not important.
Melt the two together, and stir as iti
cools; keep secure from dust, and
use it. on all parts of machinery liable
to injury by rust.... - The bearings
should be well wiped, and oiled with
Castor-oil. All dust Should be i're
moved, and, with costly machinery,
it' will pay to provide a • sheet ,Or
blanket to cover it with as a protec;
tion from dust..... Where swamp
! muck is to be dug, it is best to give
the work by contract. A good man
can, Make fair wages at 15 cents a
cubic _yard; if the workman is not a
good
.one, be cannot - expect higher
pay on that account. Muck should
I be dug before cold weather comes; as
it is disagreeable work when the
ground is full of cold water.... Hay
thatis stacked should be hauled in,
or the stack should be protected on
i the top by extra -
coverina Coarse
0
herbage or weeds, not in seed, may
be cut and hauled into the barn-yard,
al,nl spread to form a basis fOr..a
! deep coating of manure and an ab
sorhent for moisture. An abundance
of litter will soak up thowater, and
1. prevent the *drainage which so often
' flows froni yards; and accumulates in
foul poolS,

- . Ciden—While the . best- cider is
made from late' ripening frit, and in
cool weather, the inferior pples and
windfalls may be made pro 't&ble i by
t
making them into cider for vinegar.
Even those who' have . a ,cider-house,
furnished with a mill and.press work=
ed by power, find it profitable to
keep' a hand-mill and press, for the.
purpose of working'up windfalls and
inferior early fruit, before the cider
making season, on an large scale
begins.- . . -
Drying Fruit.—The primitive -*ay
of drying apples, peaches, etc.,.;ex- '
posed to the sun and air, also ex
' poSes it to insects. Excellent dryers
arc now to be. had, and at a cost
which the increased -value of - the
dried fruit will
dry
in a single
season. These dry with artificial '
heat rapidly, turning out a handsome
light-colored product. In drying in
the old way for honie use, protect7the
fruit from insects, by 'netting, and
provide some arrangement to dry by
the heat of the stove in .a rainy 'day.
.Budding is - a important work at
present, - the. Most of the imniense
stock of peach-trees are budded this
month, as are the pear .on quince,
and the cherry on the Mahaleb. The
precise time depends upon •the con
dition of the stock. The ties-should
be,cut as soon as the buds have be
corn firmly set, •or have "taken;' /
which will be known by their remain=
ing phimp and green and falling

- . One of the worst eye traps known.
is the abominable. hay rack, where a
horse- has - to reach up and .
hay down, Ailing mane, foretop, and, -
the worst of-all, his eyes with hay seed,.
chaff or whatever may. be mixed with.
the prOVender, These traps are met
with nearly
"everywhere
.throughout
the land. Theses throw the horse in,
the most unnatural positions: for feed
ingias the natural position is to reach
down and pull up, not. to reach, up -
and pull doWn, tia these bay raeki
make him do. In reaching up to eat,
it exposes the foretop, face and eyes
to seed, chaff and dirt, Which on get.,
ling - on the head once is liable to get
in
. the eyes at any ti th e. We will now
speak of the abuse that horsemen re- .
,sort to in controlling a b'prse. - The',
worst of all is striking him over the
head with a leather strap, your fist, a
club orWhip. Shame on a man that. I
-would dare to club over the head the
noblest creature . next - to man! But I
ant:sorry- to say we Ind a.great many
good horsemen that WIC a tie
light in sitting on their wagon seat
and trying to see how close. they can
send the point of .a . cracker to the
horses ear,.or strike
_some: particular
spot on the back of the - head, neck
or shoulders. But my word for it,
a man who will ,practice this comes
to. grief sooner or later: Instinct tells
the horse to be careful of his head,
and especially of his eyes, for when
they, are gene that ends his seeing,;.
as they can never tie restored. There-
fore, never strike a - horse about the.
head. The number •of horses' eyes
Jhurt .by slipping the- coller over the
head would surprise tie all if known.
.A horse's head,
.with-a good eye set
ting - out boldly on a square face, is a
bard thing to slip a stiff collar over
without rubbing and bruising the
eye: Next, we have the stable to
,contend with, and it produces more
weak eyes than any . other One thing
we know of. The gas Its arising fronk
the body are ruinous to the eye; Let;
a man stand over a Tile of warm de
composing manure . and see how
'quickly it a ff ects the eyes. But he
never thinks about the horse in his
closely confined stall with no ventila
tion-either above Or below to carry
away this poison. Set , your stables
up from the ground, give ventilation
underneath so as to confine this gas
and 'compel it to rise through the
cracks * of the - -floor. Also put good
ventilation high' above the horses
'heads to .cause ,a current of air to
carry off this poison as it
generates.
AlWayS give the horse plent y of light,
but not through a small hole; make
it large so
. as not to condense the
-rays as they . Cope . .through a, small'
a
opening. Never whitewash stall s
as - white is very. bad on. the eyes_
Take a sheet Of
your
paper and.
hold it before your eyes a short time
and sec-its effects ; but you can turn
your head and then look away from it
while the horse 'cannot; as he is tied
up With a white sheet all around him.
Never iviiitewash - a stall, but always
use blue, as it will never hurt the
eyes.
- How TO MANAGE A YOUNG BULL-
To Make • a first-clais animal he•
should run with the cow till - he is.six
months old at • least. If weaned.
earlier, feed on new milk just from
the cow three times a day till he is
six montliii•old,, then twice a day till
eight months; then once a day for . a
month or'so longer. At an early day,
say a. month- old, give him a little .
fine hay to pull at, and later let him
have. some :oatmeal, a little •bileake,
.vegetables . , • etc., increasing the .
rations gradually-as he grdWs older.
Weaning' from milk should be gradu
al, and in .pastiire 'time. Ring his
nose at eight months and handle hula
from that time on daily. After. }leis
Weaned, feed as you would - other
cattle- to• keep them in the - best con
dition. ;Do not handle the ring after
it is put in until the wound is entire
ly healed, and rub on his nose mut
ton tallow twice a day.. • •
