EDUCATIONAL DEGREES The tinie is coming when the • public.., demand that only real teachers-shall teach—that is, thcise who havelaid , a bas is hy studying the principleS and by prac::: tlhe`.:•t under direction of aT master. The number-who do this now is very small. But, marely, the title teacher should not be 'grasped ; by' any one who .choo.ses t we do not allow such a privilege to the preacher: the physician' or the law yer. It will be'. apparent that it should he a title' conferred by some competent atilltOnty. And it should bo allowed only to (1) those who are. graduates of legally constituted normal schools, (2) or those who are graduates of colleges, re -0;-nized ,;academies and high schools, 4iho haTve had a sucoessfid experience as teaclieric(3l . or those who have been sue -. if not graduates : The' old haft) a definite' mean mean that the one..who• r by special' trainng. As it now is, any young fellow will Say; "I going to teach school this_ winter." Ile could get ten dollarS per month on t!,:e farm, but. as a_" teacher " ILe can get r - iccitty, and so-lie is goit. to : "teach." Teaching, is thus made . a farce, •and• it re sults in the ,total discouragement of-those who want to make a'lifo buSiness of it.. . Above tie 'degree of teacher there could he several other degrees, such : as "1 5 ro: ressi l onal 'Teacher," etc., granted at five or. more years .of successful work: The detail of a plan could be. arranged : that o,t7d add to the dignity o(the earnest la- Ivo : 6 - 1.4am] prevent tho deluge upon the of those who call themselves teach refer tart letter from a ~physii -laik: püblished a short time since, in which he !,:11±.1r young lady applied for a lace ,:ar,s4il and thisnconversatiou was held : •_ •• .Ire you a teacher ?" " Yes,'• " Where have you, taught,l?" "I have not taught any fret." Tiwn you should not 'call yourseslf7ra teacher," young lady is greatly surprised. It will lie asked, What body shall be appointed to y confer 'such degrees? - Un doubtedly the Hepartment'lof 1 Public In stinctiou,- with enlarged 4 iniivers." It is recognized not-- thriltoiuch eneed eiists. 'ln te counties the commissioners issue first, second and flii* l- adu.certilicates ; the State Department issues certificates also.

I find` that lime, wood ashes and old iron put around .the roots of de clining fruit trees havaa i very bene ficial effect. These fertilizers restore the tree to a healthy condition, and .also greatly improve the fiuit in quality ] and quantity. I made-the application on , a Windsap and Neier Fail; about half a ifishel or mixed. lime and ashes to each, and'dug it in with-a hoe some six feet around the trunk, %aid put the old - iron arouna the base of each. The trees put forth with a renew ed vigor ? bloomed abundantly and yielded a good crop of fruit. An ex cellent wash for -trees ' may, be made I thus : Heat an ounce of sal-soda to redness in an iron pot, and dissolvi it in one gallon of water; and while - warm apply it to the trunk. After one application the. moss' and. old bark will drop off and the trunk will be quite smooth. The wash has highly recuperative properties, mak ing old trees bear anew. • Than the I haVe tried soft soap _as a wash with good results, 1 and alsaa coat ingof_,lne in the spr ng season, which is a fine speeiac for old trees. .The question is often asked.

Several seasons after they are plartted. Apple _trees are said-to have two growth during the season---tb.c.: secohdary growth takes place afte - r-osi4summer, hepce it is that a top dressing of good manure, and else, _ ga crge ' i litter,. facilitates die late growths, ando ft en:prodoces very marked results i n the habit and for mation of the tree. The good effect thatd mulching has, to young trees is that. it wards Off the intedseleat of the sun , from ' the, 'tender roots and also. has a tend ancy to hold moisture. A good top dressing of stable manure. in the fall, around young trees, with= 'a' good many corn, cobs cast over the sur face of the soil, give satisfactory re sults. Mr. Milton Darlington livet on a farni of -175 acres, six miles 'from Coatesville, Chester county. His. leading industry is . butter making,. sired in this heVirses 45 cow s of his and 35 -of chiS, 'father's. He has but recently empleted his milk. house,,which is L-shaped, andin size 30. by 20 feet. It is divided into three partsi—one ' for a five horse power steam engine, another for milk, ; and the third for:butter making. He has a fine spring_of water immediate : ly beneath his engine, the waters of which he uses in churning and for . bath and culinary purposes in his home, all of which is' delivered to the desired points - by steam power. To regulate the „state of the atmos phere in hts milk room he has con structed ai , duct 360 feet in' length,' 12 feet under ground, and 18 by 14 i•aches in size, through Which he draws air which is forced into the milk room by means of a "blower," and by which lie controls the tem,- - perature at will, so, that the .theri motneter marks from 60 to 66 degreeg: In this milk room there are , 8,• parts made-:of tin; 14 feet long by - 2 feet wide and 5 inches deep, Mr. llarling ton believing in the shallow proem. The milk is allowed to remain here soma twenty-four hours, when it is , dram off by means of a pipe attach ed to one end of "the pari, which is slightly lower than the- other,.and ' the cream is then gathered and churned. The milk is drawn from all the pans in the same manner, and enters a common main which con veys it to the hog pen, some 156 1 yards away, where, Aplerneath that' building, is a tanks" reception. Thence it is pumped tb_the.,porcines above as needed. lla. . Darlington churns every other ddY, and makes about two hundred pounds at every churning, which he sells at present at from thirty-five_ to:--fifty cents. a pound. The hog house has a capacity for one hundred, and is So arranged' .that the , animals are shut off from -the troughs while the milk is being pumped into , them; and then, on the other hand, when it is necessary to cleanse the house,they can be shut out from the centre of the building so as not to be in - the way. Then their hogships are coloritzedl so that not more than six 4.are together in one pen. A HINT TO SITFittERI3 FROM YEE:- RALOlA.—Seireria evenings since I was attacked with a severe dental neuralgia. After resorting to fric tion, cold AMI - hot: applications etc., without obtaining any relie, I lay upon "My bed trusting that sleep might come and_ givei me respite. Still the excruciating pain , continued and while I was suffering`the`"-tor tures• of the doubly damned." unde cidepvbether to arouse sonic tired druggist for a bottle of chloroform or chop - my head off, (with a decided preference, however, for the ehloro from,) I suddenly bethought me , of what I had ,read of an anresthetic which we always carry with us. Thereupon I began to inflate my lungs to their utmost capacity, and then forcibly blew "out all the air I could. Immediately the pain began to lessen, and after a few repetitions of the process it had entirely ceased, being displaced' by a delightful tick ling sensation in the giims,- and fur thermore I knew not, for in less time than it takes. to tell it, I was sound asleep, awakening -nilt morn ing delightfully , refreshed and with out a symtom:of my ailment, left. hence ! yoir„se , e, I was not simply temporarily, relieved but entirely well. again. I wish other f-ufferers would try this and report results., I= Tun elm or PANCEIL -- Mr. ThOmas Anderton, Rf'4Dnke-3treet, Manchester Square, - London sends the following recipe to the Awning Post. Simple as it is, he speaks con. fidently of its effectiveness in the cure of cancer: "Boil fine Turkey figs in new milk, which they Rill thicken; when they are tender, split and apply them as warm as they can be borne to the part affected, whether broken or not ; the . part must be wash. ed every time the poultice is changed with some of the 'milk; use ft fresh poultide night and morningiind at least once during the day, find drink a quarter of a pint of 'the milk - the figs are boiled . in twice in the. 24 . hours. If the stomach -will bear it, this must be steadily perseverel for three or four months at least. A man aged 105 years , wait'cured;Ubout six years before 'his death, with only six pounds of figs. The cancer which begun at the' corner of his, mouth, had eaten through his jaw, cheek,l and half way down his throat;. yet he was so perfectly cited as never to 4illi444:imiz. Progressive Farming. shoW k any tendency to return. Should. it ever' do so, the figs should be again applied. The firsti application "gives a great deal - of pin, but, afterwards each dressing gives elief. A woman -cured by this remedy had been afflict eci..lo years; her "Oasts bled excess ively ;. 10 pounds cured her." : VIAT Not ? A well-known, French agricultur ist, M. Montelar, has saggested a noiel plan for producing various flavors in meat. He believes that in feeding cattle, sheep, -bop and poul try in a particular way, or rather, by Various ways, flavoring their. tool, - their.flesh mby be made more agree able to the palate than it is °Veen found to .be. 'He instances cases in which bares killed in a wormwood field, larks shot in a cabbage field, and eggs laid by hens which had eaten diseased silk worms had such a nauseating taste that no one could touch them ; while on the othe l r hand some ducks and field fares which bad fed upon sprigs of juniper had a de--.-. licions flavors Numerous eij eri menta'have. been made in this diree tion—among others three upon tame rabbits, . which *ire fed with- the ,Waste of aniseed, with, barley ,and bran, containing a- light - flavor of juniper, and with barley 'and' bran containing a little'esience of thyme. In each case it will be 'found that the flesh of these animals "wa, far better eating than' that of animals fattened in the ordinary way, and yet there was no, trace of aniseed or • juniparin the taste. The conclusion is' tharcattle, sheep and pigs might be fed in the same way, and that by varying the flavoring better the beet; Mutton and park might-be made to have several different-Aastes. Why may not the flesh or animals and .poultry be changed as Well as the Milk of cows. Kine that browse . ;an certain kinds of weeds , we all know„ have their -milk and butter palatable; Even when fed .on cer tain kinds. of food, for instance, • pumpkins, - turnips, etc.. the milk and butter Will- partake of the taste or these vegetables. 'Hence; if the qualitY of.milk, ,butter and cheese can be improVed.by the character or the food, why may not the quality-of • 'the flesh of animals and ,poultry be, also improved ? The flesh , of f trout= fed on "lights "' and_ liver aitreon fined in ponds are not near a 6 *rich in flavor as those which-are free scaven gers in the roarfOg streams, enjoying the natural 'rather than the-artificial food.- The subject is one worthy - the attention-of cattle growers and poul try raise Ls. • ", 7 , Ctfr .This lOU s T ANP.:_ SAVE •I'LLA COrips.pandelt.writes to an.e.tchange as folknvs about the flower of a well known . 91414ve dlscck - tre,d.a remedy for consumptio . n..lt has cured a number of cases after they bad commenced bleeding at thelungS and the hecticflush, was already on the cheek.
