T. 31cCou.om, whose duty it was to furnish matter for this De partment for this week. G. N. IlYsti is the r Editor in chargenext week.—Eorroa REPORTER. COMMUNICATE,D. 31n. Enrron yourissue of the llth instant, we notice a communication from Athens. signed " School Director," 'the tone and sentiment of which is abomina- ble, and if carefully read cannot fail to be considered a direct insult to the many able teachers of our county who have . _ been so self-sacrificing, earnest, and zeal ous, of late, in tittin, - ; themselves for the" noble work they are doing. ! Talk about our teachers being properly paid. Why sir i they are the most poorly paid class _of people in our entire county, consider ing the work they do, and with the 'pres ent barbarous system of boarding around they have the most unpleasant life imagi nably, and then to .be abused by a class of men front whom they have a right to ex pert kind words of sympathy for 11em in the many trials and privations they have lii 7 en obliged to undergo in enabling our indefatigable County Superintendent to bring our schools up to their present ex cellent condition. Why sir, I know of a _young lady teacher In this county who taught school in sine of the back districts summer for eight dollars per month, Then generously spent two weeks'of her school vircatitm in attending the County Institute, at an expense of ten dollars for board, railroad fare, etc.,'having been no-' thiedrthat "all persons desiring to teach iu full county during the cooling winter, ' would be expected to attend the Insti tute." And she has now returned to her sehovl, to board around, to walk through _storm and snoW to and flont her school, to sleep on damp, unaired spare beds, and all this for the privilege eff donating to the children of the tax-payers of that dis-. trint, the benefits derived from the valuable instruction received during those two weeks of incessant study and drill, and from her outlay in cash of : , ten dol . lars from the mere pittance she had re ceived for simmer's work and Worry. It • was said that " attendance or nun-attend lime-at tile Institute would be noted on the certificates granted this year, and that ! Directors would be advised of the same and asked to pay better wages to those wl'o attended. Now, what difference did this make in teachers' wages ? Why sir, we happened to be at a meeting of the Directors in one of our wealthy townships and heard a resolution passed by that honorable body, to pay teachers that had attended the Instit9 the sum of twenty one dollars, and those: that had not, twen ty dollars per mouth, out/ of which sum, their teachers are to hire their own board, so the teachers will have eight or ten dol -IJ-- lars per month left. Is this just" is it • tight? How does this amount compare with the dollar a day and board of day laborers? Your coriespCaident goes on to tell us that the tax-payers say that " the teach ers have been educated to a very consid -erable extent at our expense, and that they have had the advantage of attending the - common schools kept up by us, and !.0 now ought tip teach our schools /or low wages, and so liquidate the debt." Now what a foolih idea that is. Do they mean to tell me that I am under obligations and indebted to the lax-payerS of- Ulster or Athens townships, because in my younger days I attended a common school in •Wyalusingtownship, and was benefit ted thereby, while my father paid his le al amount of the tax for the support of that school ? If this is their idea,, why I wish to say t 4 them that it will be a long time before you will make our teachers believe that they are so indebted. Does it show good reasoning, to• say that teachers', wages should be so low, because so many' are thwking to the examinations for certili cafes. Such men,would say, reduce the President's salary and the salaries of the .likilges of our courts to a mere pittance, because there are so many men ready to take these offices at low salaries. Such reasoning, if followed, would lead to the ruin of our country and the total disre . gard of law. Our teachers deserve encouraging _ uoids and better pay from those who have charge of our school •affairs. Our Directors should realize that our eommon schools are the only enduring foundation on which rests and depends the continu 'rye of our national prosperity, and as och they shoulffguard them with zeal - -.ons care. But there are Directors in this County who are opposed to having a school Superintendent. They say the office is both expensive and unnecessary, and that. our schools were better twenty years ago than now. In speaking of the acts of such directors in the past the term parsi zoony would be 4_ feeble word. I hope the time will soon come when our teachers shall be well paid for teaching, and be al lowed their time and necessary expenses incurred. while attending our teachers' institute and associations. • TEACHERS' FmENn - Towanda, December 15, 1579.

" RANSOM COTTAGE RANGE, With the Expansion Broiling Chamber, SMYTH'S PATE / 1W DUPLEX GRATE. With or without Low Closet, ReserVoir, or Ornamental Elevated Shelf. The Greatest Combination of Valuable Improvements Ever Presented After the flattering experience of the past year. having had a very large and extended sale, we find that the Tit E ICAN,O)I COTTAGE Is ntliVerS3llS conceded to be 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 been considered the finest !Lange made. It contains the Datent Expansion Broiling ',Chamber. which is universally acknowledged to be the only shccessf id and practical broiling attach. melt in use. It is also 'furnished with Smyth's Patent Duplex Grate. This celebrated Grate Is extremely simple in its rotedruction. t It has now been in active use fur more than five years, and In view of the universally successful experience rf Its operation and durability during that time, as well as the highly satisfactory results obtained by us in our own thorough trial of Its qualities, we have no hesitattoll In pro:unloving It tile only complete and successfel arrangement for removing clinkers and refuse from the tire-boa Instantaneously. thoroughly and cleanly, while the degree of combustion obtained has never. in our opinion. , heen equaled with any other style a.drate. TIIE RANSOM CoTTAGE is a 114,,r,,regh I y first-clase Range in all Its portions and appointments, while the pH, in e.trrmrly 1..)n. It is so constructed that it can he changed from a Low Closet to a Single Oval Range. by merely lifting the Upper tart of the Range from the Low Closet and placing It upon a set of ornamented legs. All sizes ran also be furnished with the Ornamental Elevated ?Shelf, The large bated Ash Pau Is taken out at the end of the Range instead of the front—a much more con. vettlent and cleanly arrangement—and the capachom Warming Closet extends underneath the whole Range. The Ilot Water Reservoir Is heated entirely from the hOttotil, and is of - a larger capacity than will be found on any other Range of this class. All the minor details in 'the construction of this Range have received the closeq. attention. It has highly burnished-ends, tackle-plated knobs of a new and beautiful pattern, Mel:le-plated panels, nickle-plated Teem, Racks, and the mounting and fittings In the best style.

It with ' this, ai with other callings; sharp Upward turn in the price of given product, often induces a •stam pede in that direction, and the result is, that it 'is soon overdone, prices fall - by reason or over-production, entailing losses anti disappointments in greater or lesst degree, to those who rushed 'into the business, with out due consideration and jiidgement. While-we are certain that the preS ent condition of. the wool market is not dile to speculatioN but is on a substantial basis, and that prices•will. not be maintained, but will very like ly harden more b efore lanother wool, clip comes in, here, is little doubt that there wild he a large in crease -in the crop nest spring. It is. well to recollect that the stocks of woolen' goods in the country before the rise of the staple last, spring were very -low. The prospects for fine. crops ail a market abroad for.all of our, surplus food products, together with a return of confidence upon the heel of . resumption, caused a revival in all branches of business,, and the woolen industry was among the first to • feel its influence., A demand, strong and extensive, sprang up for woolens; which has . been kept .up,- and will no doubt confine—Of course the price of wbbl was stimulated and as long as the 'present rate of con sumption of the staple contiues' it is not likely that it will decline. _There is still room' for many millions of pounds of home-grown wool to sup ply the requirements of ' our people. for woolen goods anO!manufacture=, and besides. the foreign .deinand for mutton gives the subject of sheep• 'husbandry additional importance, as the American Stockman has hitherto frequently pointed out. That more sheep will be raised is now certain, and, we are gratified that' an impetus haZ been given to the business. To get the ast results', however, requires thought and .care from first to last. Those who have not much exper ience in the business well as this fact, but to such as have . not hithertt- given it much attention .l.a few suggestions will hardly. be taken knfiss. In the first place, it is imbortant to,•start right. Loss of • time,•money and labor may be, avoided' by.begiri fling with the right kind of stock.. By this we do not refer to any par ticular breed; we mean' that, the, foundation should be good, yoUng. healthy, vigorous sheep.fl Every 'nib* many common sheep are disposed of to the butcher for mutton, and among them • are frequently 'found. young ewes which are.suitable for breeding to a good buck. In selecting them,_ uniformity in size, age—yearlings are old enough—and genetal char acteristics - should be kept in mind. This will, give a uniformity in the flock and_the progeny, whlth will be of great aduantage in the outcotue, as every experienced breeder knows. When a suficient number of such RUTS have}been obtained, they should be bred tixa thoroughbred ram, aiol no other. Whatever breed may be the choke of the buyer, whether Cots wold, Southdown, Merino, Leicester, Shropshiredown, or other sort,—let it be a pure-bred sheep by all means; • and-the best way to get such a ram is to go to an honest; .well-known breeder of the- kind wanted, who will not risk his reputation by selling a ram le represents as liure-bred, un less it is of undoubted purity. This course will secure an animal that will stamp , his characteristics on his progeny. Ilis valuable quanlities will be transmitted to his get, and when 'he has been l / 2 in use two years, the -breeder should sell i him and get another of the same kind,'or better, but. of, course 'of the same breed, Rams should be chano - e“very two years, and after breeding the ewes two years let them go also. Thus a very tine flock of .seeep may .beipro-• ,duceql in a short time.—one which `will be profitable to its owner as well as a credit to his intelligence and s l • This its hardly neeessary to' say, is upon ttt supposition. that the sheep are well' taken care , of, which in cludes proper feeding;' and good-gen eral mansgement. • •. It may be thought that the price asked for thoroughbred rams islOo high for the majority of farmers to pay, and fancy prices--or what may be called •such-=may deter some from purchasing a good' ram. It may be well to ascertain the tennis of a num ber of professional and well-known breeders; and to purchase where a good animal'of undoubted purity of blood, vigorous and sound in every way, can be had i for the least money; but no consideration of false econo my should ever*, he allowed t 6 Weigh a leather between al-good and bud ram. Good animals 'Cannot; be had for scrip prices; it has cost too much to produce them.

Care of PotatoeS, Beets, Turnips, Carrots and. Parsnips. . . , Much has been ,said and Written about the cultivation, care and qual ity of the potato. I wish to add my testimony also. Being out from hope a few days. ago to dinner, among other things on the table was Some, fried potatoes; it was about as much. as I could do to cat'them—so sttong. The question eameto my mind; what is the cause of;so many strong po tatoes? I fin(it is 'a •general coin plaint. A fri nil writing me from ": - T an Eastern eit -, says: - he,"pota -1 toes are so poor'and 1 ' strong." Now , for the question. Does not -fightin jure potatoes ? 'They are amative Of darkhess—that is, they grow under ground—and if by chance - any of them_come to the surface they .turn green by being exp*sed to the light. I have frequently st - !e:n in an Eastern city potatoes - laying- in.• the market from day to day and from week to week, exposed to the light; is not this one cause? And, furthermore,i I sold a person once a load of pota toes for planting, and as his, ground was not quite - ready he left them ex.- poSed to_the light, and also, .I pre sunie,lo the sun for a jtepiod of time. I net him a few months after. He sayti l to me, "Those potatoes I bought orvou I planted andtheylnever.came up:" I replied, that is very strange, for I planted out of the same lot and I every one of mine grew. On inquiry I ;found the fact as alre, stated, that they had remained for :two weeks exposed to the BOA, and sun. .. second can,Ta neighbor' of mine I= . . . . carriedout a number of - bushelal for : . planting, • but his - attention . ing called off to some other work the- ' -- tatoes remained for one wee ex- __ posed' to the light and sun, and then he' planted 'them, but. they did not • . grow in those two cases ; iher i ere not only: injured . but 'killed. The' way Ido it, inthis latitude, r ever - let them remain in the ground pg. , er than the first . week in . 06tober.. 111 have a large quantity I put' a sufficient 'force toidig them at once.

In this •way I. keep cariota ~ and beets till they come again. In this latitude parsnips are very liable : 1 to rot if they remain in the - ground through the winter ' %and in order , to make use of them I dig them late in the fall and pack them the same .as the beets and carrots, and then I put - them in my wood-house- or granary and let them freeze up and remain frozen through the winter and use them in a' frozen statethey: may not boquite - s,gooil,, "yet eatable, as • left in the ground through the win. te7.

Success in Fanning A- . correspondent of the Ni.u.• Eng land Farmer thinks it .unfortunate that so many complaints of ill-sue leess.in farming are continually- puh 'lsbell, and points out that the extent to which it is conducted, on bcirrow -0 capital is in most cases the secret Of the difficulty., There is.much sense in the foPowing extract: . . " Readers of Agricultural 'papers do not often find successful farmers relating their experience, and giving such details of the Management of their business as would.- encourage • othekS to persevere. And yet these,, are just the men we all want tohear,' from. The croakers are too num- ' -erous and altogether ,too - fond of blaming the business for their non -success. • The trpuble is in the inen; -not in the business. • When I learn - that only one farm in twenty-five is . paid for when bought, the wonder to me is, not that so many _fail, but that So many succeed. When Richard Roe buys John Doe's farm for $.7,500, . p a ys: : : • . .43,00 down, and; gives a uthrt-- ; • gage for $4,500 at eight per, cent, ex.- peeting to make a lining for himself,' and family, pay Mr. Doe $3O a month intercst, and have a,net three - or-four per cent, at the end of the year on ; $ . 7i,500, it brings no 'surprise to mo, that Mr. Roe -finds such farming don't' pay. What doss the man own in fact? Just $3,600. That r figure rep resents his eaphOl. There - is . no kind of business ,to 'be found to-day better- • than -farming in which $3.000 can. be_ made to yield any .kind of a living to alfaraily without di•aw ing' on; the ,principal.. Any gain in , interest is 'n - ot to be fthoUght of. . • . _ . . Those farmers who had so little lkesi7ht . as to 'buy more land than : they could handle art; simply doing 'what numbers of men in ottorJ.7allin2.s have done, and will do for :Ili time: giving way fo'rgen who knew , how to handle money.-- That's the rub. Men undertake too Much on too little capital, and in evitably fad. It is not for the lien- oral good that farmers of this elaSs should parade their misfortunes at' every opportunity, . misleading puh- • lie - opinion on a matter. that lies at the very base- of MIT natural pros-. perity:: Farming does- pay, and' pays well -on the capital actually invested, with such general •intelligent mari ;, agement as- would be. necessary in any other business. There is no other business which. otters as gOOd security for the investment : there . is no other business which inings'inore .contentment arid less man anX iety of mind. The man who his farm and three or' -four per cent. at the end of a year on • the paid-up capital, after supporting' his family, is actually in better condition than' . nine-tenths .of the men in any other call' g."
