WRAT DOES IT SIGNIFY?
One year ago last May a new leaf aas
turned over in the educational history of
the county, in the election of a Superin.
tendent able, efficient and•energetic. The
State bad wisely come between the parsi-
molly of the Directors i and the Superin
tendent, saving him from embarrassment
by giviOg him is salary in some degree
commensurate with his work and ability.
Ile entered upon his office with vigor and:
zeal, and has done all in his power to
awaken enthusiasm in the teachers for
their work. I think no one wilt gay that
be has no:jealously guarded thb ihterest
-trusted to his care, nor that he has scat
held from his office any, labor that was
possible to be performed.
On the other hand, the teachers have
responded nobly to the appeal to qualify
themselves for better work, and from
scanty p l ay they Inive borne heavy ex-
peuses in various ways, to give something
«•Lich should rendcr their labor more efli-
cleat. It is. not too Touch .to say that
they are equally deserving of plaise with
the Supetintendent himself. So far as
their. means would allow they hive done
-all that they - could to advance the cause
of education. however ambitious they
may have been to excel, surely money
could not be reckoned as an incentive to
the work in which they are engaged.
Poorly paid, and , not half appreciated.
-
they have laboree'•long
. and well. The
:_times were Laid, people said, and so wag
les already too low were put down lower
;•
.still to await the booming business of
•' , ll.tisls time; if succtimos ever came again.
The Superintendent( urged patience,
and with the 'rest believed that better
prosperity in the country would awaken
the justice, if not the -generosity of the
people. Well good times came, and here
they are. Products of the soil now repay
with excellent profit the labor put forth
in - raising them. Merchandise sells at
fine profits. Manufactured articles ate
. growing.. snore and more a source 'Of
wealth to those who produce them. In
• fact good times are here to stay we all be
lieve; and men again begin to talk of en
terprise and speculation.
But how is it with teachers' wages?
of course these • prosperous times affect
them favorably as well as other things.
Everybody would think so. But right
there my friends you must be careful bow
you bet. You are staking your -opinion
i•es . tlfe appreciation_ of the American-pub
_ lie for its servants. When you take a lit,-
tie Aservation'you will sue how child-like
and simple is yOur assumption. Bradford'
County is offering its teachers lower:
, • wag - es this year than last. Doing so too
in full knowledge of the fact that a great
improvement is being made in the
sehoolk, and that the teachers are qualify
_ ing themselves better every day. Now is
this right? Is it good faith-or justice?
It does not require a very honest man
. to say no with emphasis. But, good peo
pie NV iihyour cattle on a thousand hills and
• your barns filled with plenty, you are mak
. ing-apistake this time which will last you
_ for a generation. -Good teachers can do
better - than to stay with you, and ere long
you will find their places tilled with the
quality which your money will buy.
When that time comes : (and it is not far
• away), 'don't abuse the Superintendent,
re eompiain about
.r. yeur teachers, but.
gather congratulate yourselves that by
starving the- intellects of yOur children,
. you are saving a trilling sum'annually
taken from the wages of good teachers,
each throwing the small balance away
u- on those that are good for nothing. If
you would adopt a wiser COUrbe your
county would retain its good teachers,
and' continue to rank as:l believe it does
to-day, in the quality of its teaclicrs, sec
ond to none in the United States.
THE SCHOOL JOURNAL.
The appearance of a school journal.to
advocate the cause of teachers before the
people, is an event which should be hailed
'with joy by the profession. Our .Educa4
tionalcolumns so get.erously tendered. by
the riEIIMITEI2 and the Republiciin; need
lint be less appreciated because of the
would be unwilling to rein-
Wiish them, unless at the request of the
publishes. They arc useful and highly
bunetigiai, meeting a want which nothing
else can supply. But the Journal, if pro
perly conducted, will makeA more strict
ly educational periodical than these.
Teachers will feel more free to use its
columns, and in some respects it will have
more influence. 1
A, few people will read the educatiOnal
- Matter in a paper devoted to that interest
, more eirectually than they would read the
same arciefc in a general newspaper. But
for alt of that we hope that all teachers
rememher our old friends who have
given us use of their columns, and
_lzeep up the interest which is now quite
general in this department of the papers.
There is no reason for , supporting the
Journal at the expense .of dropping either
the IlErowrrit or the Reim?,bean; and it
would, be ungrateful as well as unwise to
do so: .

The Greatest 'Combination of Valuable Improvements Ever, Presented
In one Range,‘
Atter the flattering experience if the past year. having had a very large and extended sale, we
find that the Tue. RANson Corraaif is universally conceded to he the most desirable Range of Its
class in the market. Its general features are the same as In the celebrated Ransom Range. which. has
for years loetlrt considered theWinest Range made, It contains the Batent 'Expansion Broiling
Chamber:, which is, universally acknowledged to be the only successful and practical broiling attach
ment in use. It is also furnished with Ilintytleat Patent Duplex Grate. This celebrated
Gr:ite is extremely simple in RS conqntetlen. It has now been In active use for more than five yearn,
and'in view of. the universally' tureessfni experience cf its operation and ditrabliitY during that time,
as well est he highly tat Isfacteftresid ts obtained by its In our own thorough trial of Its quail ties, we have
no hesitation in pronouneldg It; the only complete and successful arrangement for removing clinkers
and refuse from the ore-lo; instriotatteonsly, thoroughly and cleanly, while the degree of combustion
obtained has never, In ouropinion, been equaled with any other style of grate.

upon a set of ornamented legs. All sizes can also be fnrnislie.tl with the Ornamental Elevated Shelf.

hare suffered with a severe cough since last May.
flare used all kinds of Cough Mixtures, but could
get no relief. Mornings attersetting up from my
bed I would be so choked up that I could hardly
breathe; also frequently 'vomiting severely. A
friend directed me to use Dr. Herman's' Cough
and Consumption Cure. I did so, with but little
faith at the time, but after using I changed my
mind, and I can conscientiously say, after taking
only one bottle. I did not only obtain, relief but ant
not troubled with that fullness In !the morning.

144 far the Work of the Month. t .
AsiserfeittOpgrlcaltortst. •
The close of the Year is usually
an interesting• period to the farmer,
but the end of the present one is
especially so. For some years past;
there has not been much to encour•
age farmers hi their work, except
perhaps, the., general feeling, that
"bad time?: could not last forever,
and at length a change must come.
After manyis'essons of patient wait
ing, the looked for change has arrived,
and as we go through our barns, and
granaries, and consult our accounts,
we may find that our Work this pres
ent year, has repaid us for many
past poor ones. There are excep
tions here, as in all other business.
Until ;recently, dairying was dis
couraging indeed, but with-, the ad
vance in prices to more thin double
the rates current only three months
ago cheerfulnesshas succeeded to
defOlbndency.
The promise for, the next Year is
also encouraging; a greatly inereas-
ed breadth of wheat has been sown,
and the weather has been faiorable
for- : „ its growth. indeed, in some I
cases, the wheat and rye are too
vigorous, and if warm weather O
ccurs with rains this mouth, the growth
may be too luxuriant.
Pasturing Fall Grain.—lf the fall
grain is in danger of jointing, it
should be pastured without de
lay. It is often a great 'help to
the wheat or rye, to turn sheep or
calves upon it. These eat down ,
luxuriant growth, and tread the soil
firmly about the roots. If no other
1 stock are available for this purpose,
cows may bC let into winter grain
MO
ifrop-Drek , sing.—lfsmanure is need
ed for winter grain, now is the time
to apply it. It may be 'used , fresh
and - coarse, without being trnieli in
value. ;Even straw spread over the
wheat'iS Of great benefit. I Mulching
is a protection against extremes of
both heat and cold, and preseves
the crop during sudden and severe
changes 'of the weather. '
Surface Drains.—lf not already
made, ample drains should be pro
vided to free the fields! from surface
water. Drains that have been plow
ed 'out, may need clearing in places
with spade or hoe, that the water
may pass off readily. laying but
open drains, the slopes should be so
made, that the water will not flow , off
too rapidly, with a gentle inclination
only ; in this caseimuch of the water
will soak into the soil,atiA Will not
wash away either the soil, or airy
manure that is on the slopes. 1 .
The Granary and Cribs.—. large
quantity of grain is stored, awaiting
higher prices. This may be wise or
otherwise. One thing to be consider
eel, is, the loss of shrinkage, and
wastes in the granary and crib.
Wheat in the granary is subject to
injury by the Weevil and .the Grain
Moth. This damage may be pre
vented in some extent, by shifting
the grain, and running it through
the fanning. mill. Corn cribs are
always infested by rats and mice.
vermin-proof crib may be
‘ made by
covering the posts and lower corner
with tin or shett tron, which may be
painted for preservation. The loss
by these causes will akerage 10 - per
cent. and often more, of the value of
the grain, butA, may be, in part; or
wholly, avoided, by care and , precau-
Mon.
Fodder Stacks.--As a precaution
*ainst rain, and melting snow, the
tops of fodder stacks may
,be cOvered
with a few sheaves of long - straw,
tightly bound about the top of the
stack, or to a stake thrust down into
its center for a few
4 iec Pontis.—Evpry ,house and
dairy, however small the latter.may
be, should have a supply of lee ; If
there is no pond, a small stream' nay
be dammed and the water backed up;
to make a pond.- A considerable
supply may beiproeured 1 y ni4ing
of boards a lainge , box a foot • deep,
simular to a mortar bed, and, slaying
the. joints. if this is filled With
water, in cold Weather, an exposure
Of two or three dayS will be sufficient
to make a cake of ice, which may be
put up in this shape with little
trouble. .
A Large Block of! Ice has been
made in the house itself, by making
a frame of boarls in the center, and.
gradually filling it up, so that the
water freezes solidly each night. Ad
ditions in height are made to the .
frame as required, and the sawdust
is paekel around it. In this way a
solid Mick of ice, 10 feet each Way
weighing over 30 'tons, • has' been
made during the winter by the.
means of a hose from a pump. Such
a block of ice wastes very _little in,
summer.
Potatoes and Rootß.—Pits and cel
lars should be examined as• to the
: condition of the eontens. If too
warm, ample ventilation, must be
giverian once. A freezing tempera- .
ture will not injure roots or potatoes
if they are exposed to it a short time.
If they are found too warm in the.cel
la,,,r, the heaps should be turned over
aid well aired. The best tempera
ture is one just above the freezing
point. • •
The Lrisure . of Ifinter.—While
there is always something to do
about a farm,, the winter season
offers considerable leiaure .to, the
fanner. Tor the best use of this
time, nothing can. be More profitable
than to procure and use a small
select library of books of an instruc
tive kind. To read: for amusement
otily,is not recommended, because .
information of a valuable kind can
be procured in sued a form as to be
'interesting and agreeable.
Management of • Manure;,—T4
barnyard is the field for winter
work. Much may be done here by
skillful Management. Manure, so
long as it is frozen, remains unchang
ed,: and the preparation of the ma
nure in the best tnauner for it ,, e in
the spring makes no progress. Make
a central . heap in the yard, and by
means of a few planks and a wheel
barrow move the .manure from the
stable each day 'to this heap. .If the
heap is built up square, and made 4
feet high, it will keep . warm in the
coldest weather, and while warm it
will ferment and rot.
Turning Manure.A. large . heap
may be,tUrned by beginning at each
end and thrOwing off the manure to
a distance of about 3 feet; gradually
move it from each end,' until there
are two' heaps. After the manure
has - remained in .thia way for a few
Weeks i -replace the two heaps, making
one hew again, thus turning the ma
nure very thoroughly twice. In
turning, the manure should be shaken
,thoroughly apart, and all tliejurnpS
brOken.c . Two loads of .inanbre so
treated do as much immediate good,
as will three of coarse lumpy stuff.
Sthanip !Yuck:. Where
. there 14 a
supply. of swamp muck, as much of it
as Convenient may be usefully spread:
over tbe yards, pens, and stables, as
an absorbent. If swamp muck con.;
tains 2 per , vent of nitrogen, soma
has" been found to contain even more,
a ton is worth $lO for this ingiedient
alone at its 'Market price. No
ordi
nary stable manure is so rich in-ni-
trogen as that. A muck , bed may
welt be said to belinvalnable, fo - r ono,
sore 3 feet deep Carnishea 2:50u tons, _
having a value, at the above fignieii,
equal to twenty-five thousand slot
lam. • .
How Swamp Muck may be, Died.—
Muck dug in the winter will freeze
and fall into . a fine powdei. if put
in heaps with lime or ashes, it will
heat and ferment, and Will not freeze,
but will be changed to a loose ter,
tire, and then can be handled with
case. In s tills Condition it is best
fitted for use in corapbsts, or to put
on the land.
Compuel Heap l.—lt their is nbt
sufficient rain to keep then' moist,
water should -be supplied, .even if it•
has to be
. hauled and - poured : on.
them., DecompoitiOn .is .arrested
when the heap becomes . dry. A few
barrels of water &Orli the well *ill
soon start up heat ;and decomposi
tion in 'a dry pile of compost.
Materials for VOlnposts.—ln sev
eral of the States compost 'heaps
may be made of muck or earth for
a basis; to this . taa'y be added leaves
totton ! seed, ashes gypsum, night
soil, - stable manure;] trash from the
fields ',(except weeds in seed),.and all
the .slops from the houses and-eabM
A 'plenty - of Water ethould be added..
By turning the heap as previously
described, the compost will be fine
enough to , use in the hill-for co:it or
cotton. If desired, bone-dust may
be added, but fine artificial
zers'vvill ,be better if used by . thew-
selves
Ilorses.-10. animal should ;be
permitted to fall. off in condition at'
this season. -- It is difficult to restore
an animal > when .all the food and
"vitality-a - fel required to resist cold,
and-the ha i rdsliips of a stormy winter. -;
IlOrses that are not at work require
good and sufficient food, and warm
shelter; • EXposure 'to a storm may.
throw the hole system out of orde
and do mischief that months of effce t
may not
.repair. Prevention is tl e -
better. plan. Good hay, with a fkw
ears of corn, and an oceasienal wa:nt.
bran mash, will keep heirEles is condi
bUt--good, daily grooming must
never lie forgotten. • -
Pee Dairy. 7 :=Dairy animals are ,
worthy *of• the best care.. A geed'
cow returns her value every year in
milk and butter,-and in Some locali
ties•the*manure almoSt, if not quite,
payS - for, her food. The richer the
feed, the better the manure., At any
rate, a cow is one .of the most pre
duetive of our farm animals, and the
ebetV r she is; the more profitable.
;Only good cows should be kept; as
a.diarren tree would be rooted-out of
an orchard, so should a poor cow be
discarded from the dairy. Every
dairyman or farmer' may improve
his •
Thoroughbred Animals are nottfor
the working farmer; they tire not Lo
profitable* as grades.; There are`'
thousands of grade cows which Will
surpass an average thoroughbred in
yield of milk and butter. ,
farmer's plan is. to; procure and
keep, or use, the best. 'bull he can
and, raise ;the heifer calves, and se
lect the. best of these•to breed4rota
pure-breermales again. •But only a••
strictly bure-bred bull, of the 'best -
kind, and frehri an excellent cow, ,
should be used. A. vast improve
ment must tae made in our' dairy
cows before the most profit can be
made - front then). -
,S://eep.—Let, no sheep c go into •
winter quarters infested• with ticks..
If , l no other, method is possible, go
over the - sheep one by •one, on a,
warm anti kill every tick with

Yespeet: - • •
Brewed Ewe's that will have early _
lambs, are better in a yard and glied .
by themselves,la4 they need a more
generous feeding than those coming
in later. • Rams and wethers should

rouldi-mannered, and .butt the weak

ter off if kept in an .open yard and
'shed that. it: - penned up too closely.
Falteving 'Skeep..-Sheep that are
being fattened for market and for
thC sake.of manure, need to be•fed
with great re golarity. A-.variation
of halt' an hour in their foddering
tine makes .them, fretful and uneasy;
and this causes loss of flesh and fat.
itif well. littered i ;.tlae. manitre, may -be
-left to Collect in the shed until spring ;
the solid packing of the manure will
prevent undue heating:.
Swine.—Swine that are fattening
will do better with soaked corn than
with dry: Corn steeped in water for
_l2.liottrs has-been found More econ - -,
omieat to feed than when ground in:.
to The animals are
filled,-the food' digests better, - and,
consequently, the feeding is finished
more expeditiously, and feed—which
is Inoneyis saved. •
Poulti-y :-.-Verinin are the greatest
pest to fewls. : They are worse in the
winter than at other times, because

, Sundry Matters,:--A parr of cards
and a' brush .should be in every cow

carefully ob,rved. - A.' thorough
carding and brushing will not only
