TEACuEnS' EXAMINATIONS.—Thirty-six
public examinationstave . been held this
fall ; -182 teachers iexamined ; 382 certifi
cates granted. Of those examined 110
had never taught, and 62 had-taught for
one year only. About 60 hold year certi
ficates granted last spring. Under exist- .
ing redinition of wages many teachers are
deciding to abandon - thii work after the
present winter;, feeling that they have ex
pended.,tinie and money in vain to attend
County Institute , and schools, thus aiding
itCraising . the standard of qualification.
since the-places of such must be filled by
those more poorly qutlified, and inexpert
, cnccd, the'standard which has been mate
rially'raiied during the past year through
faithfulness and energy of the teachers
must be lowered, or ourschools be xigi;-
plied.with teachers.. Let the: responsibil
ity of wahting, the time, and seriously in
juring. pupils rest upon the "penny wise
and pound foolish." .
THE tLESSON
A teacher oat in a pleasant room,
In the waning light alone :
tier head teas bowed ill anxious thought,
With-the work and,care the day bad brought,
the bad taint and weary grown.
And the ta.k which seeined light Mt morning's ray;
An nitA. thmig,t of 11 now, at the clone of the day;
Whew weary with toll and faint 'wall Care,
.crowd more•thau human strength could bear.
nee the scholars had left her, one by one,
_Ne e arly an hour bad flown ;
She had given the:mew:ll a kind good-night,
And a bile thd r y llngerkl her eyes were bright,
Itv. they .11Innied with tears when alone.
She had borne the burden the day bad brought,
The daily task, she bad faithfully wrought,
Atul now, to solace her weary mind,
A lesson of bre shl; sought to nod.
'rho ~ %ork and cares of the day she scans,
hut 1.0 h•ssnu from them recelVes.
"The day has no lesson for me," she said ;
"A les•oe, read, In the Book Instead,'.
And she opened her Bible leaves.
When 1,, : the lesson On hail sought in vain,
To draw from her fainting and weary brain,
At on,. from the holy page she drew,
'I hough always the same, yet never new.
—.Estaidish flour the work of our Lands ;^
I'w:is this that met her gaze • .
The v.(irtls went . up front her lips like prayer;
And as she read she treasured there
A lesson for many days.
Not alone for her tbe lesson be,
'gay it come as sowed to you and me.
14 , 1 our prayer be the words of holy writ,
' "Vea, the work of our hastds establish thou IL"
Teacher
TI - ACIIERS AND SALAMI:S.—Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, iu speaking of teachers
utol salaries, say:
"There is no 'profession so exacting,
'none that breaks men down so early as
that of faithful teaching ; and there is no
e_7o.nomy so , penurious, and no policy so
intolerably mean as that by which the
custodians of public affairs screw down to
the 'starvatiou-point the small wages of
turn and 'Women who are willing to devote
their time and strength. to teaching the
young. In political movements thousands
of d;.illars can be squandered, but for the
teaching of the children of the people the
cheapest teachers must be had, and their
pay must ba'reduced whenever i reduc=
tion!of expensCs is necessary., IT salarieS
ever should be ample, •it is in the profes
sion of school-teaching. If'tbero is one
place Wherewe ought - to induce people .
to , thake their profession life bus
iness; it is in the teaChing.of schools.
•‘t
U. those who are to be taught are
nothing but children '. -your children, my
children, Uors children, the sweetest and
dearest and most sacred ones in life. At
.the very ago when angels would be hon
°al to serve' them, that is the time when
ire put limit into the' hands of persons
• who al c not:prepared by disposition to be
teachers, awl who are not educated for
teachim , , and who are continually bribed,
as it were, by the miserable wages that
are :liven them, to leave their teaching as
so nr as they acquire a little experience.
It is a donne, a disgrace to the American
people, a disgrace-IA; American Christian
ity."
' Nit PENctt.s.—With what delight
must the world of artists and writers of
oil kinds 'have lmiled the invention of
the black lead-pencil, , as we liitve it to
day : I said ?dark lead; but although the
metallic part of this little implement is
'olive/sally called black lead; 'there is not
a particle of bad in it. - This black,
smooth, soft, and glossy substance is pro
perly called plumblrio, and IS a compound
of ~ : rboti and iron, or, as the chemists
term it, a rarbnret of iron. Them are
several' varieties of plumbago found in
the 'Wks in the different parts of the
world, some of which are good for' one
use, and others for other uses ; and it
Vai,p(Ms that one of these varieties is fine
;:rained, soft, nearly free from grit, and
well adapted for writing with, and this
kind has received the name of graphite.

According to the English notation, a
billion is a million millions; while by the'
French notation, - a• billion is only one
thousand millions. In this our American
arithmetic corresponds to the French.
Some of the Enllish papers have lately
been trying to' show what an enormous
numbera billion, as they understand it,
is. One writer estimates in thousands of
miles the length of a wall containing a
billion gold sovereigns. It is concluded
that the human mind cannot conceive the
ided, a vastness in the number of a bil
lion.
This depends, however, much upon the
way the matter is stated. Certainly one.
cannot conceive of a billion miles, or a
billion years ; but it is easy to think of
quantities not very small singly, and nqt
large, when a billion of them are massed
together.
A piece of paper an eighth of 'an inch
square, can easily be cut out. A billion
times an eighth c.)f an inch would cover a
surface a little less than two miles square.
Both quantities are within the scope of
the most ordinary mind.
Again, suppose a Cubic block of wood,
each side of which is an eighth of an inch.
No less thari 884,70 G of such blocks are
contained . in a cubic foot; and a billion
aro contained in 1,130,281 cubic feet.
That space is contained in a cube 104 feet
2 inches on each side, and there are many
buildings as large as that.
It is hard to conceive of infinitely small
as of infinitely large things. Professor
Tyndall gives an estimate that there were
as manylas five thousand minute animals
in each drop of alicitild which he allowed
to ferment. Two hundred drops—a tea
sptionful or two—would contain billion
of them. The trouble in this case is not
that of conceiving a billion of these organ
isms, but of oke of them.

. Denver now has a population of 40,000: Great titles are the outgrowth of great countries.
Twenty.yeare ago Denver was a small trading post on the frontier, now it is alarge clty, with
numerous Churches, Hotels, Theaters, Street-railroads, Gas-works, Water-works, Gold- and

WHY LOTS ARE CIVEN AWAY.
As the tide of immigration is now in this direction, it is the Company's interest to have.
people locate in Denver and on their property: To encourage emigration here, the Company
will give to any one sending their name and address a warrantee deed, in fee simple, for
One or more lots in North Denver, situated in \Veld County, State of Colorado, in immediate
view of this beautiful city, the only charge being ono dollar to pay the Notary Public fees
for acknowledging deed and conveyance. The Company does not.give every lot away, but
each alternate one, and does not expect that every person who gets a lot in North Denver
will come here, but a great many will, and they will induce. their friends to follow. The In
creased population will soon make this property very valuable, and this Company retain
each alternate lot, which they hold at prices var,vlng front Eli to Slfraecording to location.
Fur this reason the above proposition is made. The deeds are unconditional, not requiring
any ono to settle or ;improve, but with full power to transfer and deed to - others. The limit
to any one person taking advantage of this offer is five lots. This/property is not hill
side. mountain. or swamp. but la level. fertile. and has advantages for building
upon too numerous to mention.. Full anti satisfactory information, with Indorsements
from our ; best, citizens, will be furnished.

Hints for the Work of the Month.;;
Amorlcan Agticuiturlat
Plowing the, Corn Stubble, should
be made the atilt business.. of 'the
month. In fact,,the plowing under'
or other Wise disposing of all rubbish
from gathered . erops, should be done
as soon as possible. - ,
Green Manuring, Sii one of the
cheapest and easiest methods of krt.:
ilizing land. A stubble plowed early
this month, may be sown ,witb rye,
at a cost of less than $2 per acre,
and the rye may be plowed under in
the spring, April or May,. and the
ground sown with. another crop.
Otherwise the rye may be cut for
fodder, and the ground used for oats.
But an occasional greiin crop plowed
In, will be found very useful in keep
int:, up land, and rye is the only one
that can be used at thiEi season.
.
Roots - for Corn.—A badly plow
ed corn stubble, is the worst possible
ground for roots, and if these are to
be grown next season, and corn stub
ble is to be ° plowed first, it must be
plowed deeply, and all corn Stubs .
well covered:,, Root culture requires .
good farming, and rough uneven,.
plowing, with loose corn-stubs on the
surface, is.nol, good farming. A well .
plowed corn stubble may he worked
with,the disk harrow in the spring,
and well fitted for roots - ' 'which are
preferable to
. oats or corn fodder.
Corn Fodder.—Corn stalks that
are out in the'field should be made
safe, either by stacking . or ,potting
under cover, as soon' as possible.
Hay is scarce, and will be dear, and
fodder of all kinds is worth' caring
for; to expose it to the weather, as
is often done, is injurious and•wa - t6-
ful:
• Boot Pit&—Roots and potatoes
will heat and. "sweat;"' and if not
well ventilated, or if the pits are not
uncovered they will decay. This
should 'be carefully looked to, and
the pits must not be completigy clos
ed, until all danger from heating is
over. Roots yet unclog, should' be
secured at once 4
`Surface Drain. 4 may be made
.to
serve a very useful purpose. , . If the
waste flows off from the: ground in
this way, sub-soil drainage may be
unnecessary. But surface drainage
is a waste, because some • fertilizing
matter is carried away, which should
be left in the soil if the water soaked.
through . it' into under drains, and
surface draining is. therefore only a
temporary expedient at the best.
Surface drains maybe used 4ith ad
vantage where hied is -not under.,
dr.tued, and this is the season
_for
the work.
Deep Drains.,-Making
_drains is
especially a work for this „season. If.
a field,Sor part of one,' or .a low piece
of land is properly drained each year
by and by the whole farm will be put
in good condition. Patience and
tithe are- especially needed in farm
work. One cannot do everything in
one year, nor in ten, in many cases,
so that a farmer should not be dis
couraged, if he cannot do all that he
desires;-in one or two seasons: •If
what is done is col/gilded, as.far as it
goes, one should be satisfied.-
Great' One of the most im
portant hints that We can offer to bur
fellow farnitirs, is to do only good
work, for this only pays; and never
to begin a job unless it can be well
finished; for a job or wort; left
half undone, is: frequently worse than.
if not, commenced. It is better to-put
off the beginning of a job, than to
fail in carrying it through; by-begin
ning befbre one is ready for the
work. .4
.'.r/n!.Chllnch Buy, has • been .unus
ually destigctive the past season.- Its
Winter hart irs are in the • stubbles
and , any standing weedS • that remain
in the fields. Doubtless the ravages
of this pest are encouraged by the
safe shelters it findsl in this way.
Wheat farmers may take. a hint froth
this-. that cleaner culture, 'may be
fo'und an effective method.by destroy.
ing this, and other pests, by depriv
ing them of winter quarters.
JITVE'S
Fences and Ditches,L-Ilefore the
ground freezes, put fences and ditches
in good order. Fence po'st4 that are
loose may be tamped solidly, and a
stone rammed on each side will steady
a post better than packing with earth:
:Mounding up arOmadi-the. posts will
turn the water troial them and save
them from hearing.. The weeds that
have grown 'in the ditches, and the
accumulation of leaves and rubbish,
should not be left in them ; remove
ali such and' make a clear channel
for the water to flow away:
- -
Coen..—Dairymen reason to
hope for better things. An advance
of 100 per cent on cheese, and 25 -on
butter, is cheering, although, unfor
tunately, the dealers get all the beic- .
fit of it at present. The. I dairyMen,,
however, will have the advantage . iii
the future, ,and this will be an incen 7 ,
tive to improve the Condition of the
cow l s. Winter dairyingis aprOfitable
business, and the best dairymen- are
gradually working into it, but it will
be only the first-class who will suc
ceed in it. '
Winter Feeding for Croce.—The
yield of milk and biitter in the sum
mer depends greatly upon the - wintii,r
feed. +All the feed given cows is not
consumed without - return. • .The Ma
nu-re gives a good dividend ',upon the
outlay, and the animals are storinfr_
up energy, and. strength to: be made
available afterwards. The winter'is
the season for liberal and judicious
feeding and not for "short eOlll ,
mons," which is another term for half
starvation.
Regular Raiions are absolutely.
necessary. Steady feed means steady
thrift and profit. .Scarcely any two
animals hard the same appetites. In,
feeding,
_observe closely and knos
the habits of each animal ; winter
is the time for this study.
Mired Feed..--Sameness palls upon
the appetite ; a variety of food. en
courages it. A good. farmer loves to
See hiS animals eat, st.d....the more
they eat, and healthfully digest, the
greater are ,the owner's - profit: Cut
or pulped roots will be found the best
basis for winter feeding, and. ytritli'
these, corn-fodder and oat straw may
be given_ liberally, saving the , hay
until the early spring.
, - 1 - /ors - es.—The team should not rest
while a day's work in - the field re
mains to be done. Good ftiedimr is
needed while work continues. Idle
horses may run in a fenced' yard or
field, and hay or mirn-todder will be
sufficient for them while not at work.
Co/tB.—Young colts and.yearlings,
require good nutritious food. Oats
arc the best food for a growing colt;
if corn is used, wheat-bian is prop
er accompaniment. AbUndance of
-phosphates is needed - to forma solid
and strongi bony framework,. and.
bran is rith In these. 'Keep the_s -. n .

- chief 'objects. May lambs will be
preferable to earlier ones. There is no
better 'place ortinie for lambs to be
.dropped - than in a pasture a fine sun
ny Mayday. Where lambs fOr mar,
ket are wanted, the ewesiwill now be
in breeding, and well need some
tra• 'care.. An' abindance of
. good,
nutritious food aid water, are the
principal*requiiiitits. Sheep may be
the last animals td be brought'into• V
winter quarters. . •
.Shed 4 and Yards ;Amid be pre.
pared without delay: The . uses-of
iron - for building sheds, described
elsewhere, is worthy of consideration.
This material has the advantage of p
being pnt together : cheaply and rap
idly, and. a portion of a yard covered
with it, might in .many cases be a
good -investment. Litter for sheds
should he kept dry, and plenty of it
gathered. Leaves from the woods
are not surpassed for, he sheep-yards
and pig-pens. .
Pige,--Park can . hardly fail to
join in the general upward move
ment. While pigs of pure breed can
be obtained cheaply the opportunity

ing winter layers is obvious. In -all
farm work our aim should be to pro
duce, that which sells best, and at a
time when it sells for the highest
price. At odd time/ . , stock of coops
may be made for use in the spring.

Whatever the season may have

Theorclitirdist or, gardner finds him

ODCDARD AND NILISERX;
Apples.—With the' present short

this.-in view, and put up in:the best

when made at this season,
