SCHOOL MANAGEMENT Management from 'a Latin word, man us, the baud, signifies all.the agencies by which an enterprise is guided or directed, and the act of handling. The pages •of history, ancient and modern, are darken ed by examples of failures and disasters, individual, social and national, resulting from bad management. Brilliant and beautiful, often on the same darkened page, are instances of marvelous _success from good management . . The superiority and succeis of the American people -among civilized nations, and the astonish ing results in discovery, invention, and progress and development in general are attributable to good management. * Management ordinarily' im-, plies a co-partnership and contributing agencies, the partters, being active or si lent.

The innumerable) attieles' which appear continaully on" How to make the farm pay " are enoogli to make a horse sick, People should know; by this time that fortunes do not grow, but.are made. . Once in awhile one may stumble over a fortune, as lightn ing.strikes a tree ; but these are Limy idential occurrences and are not in the everyday bands of man. A man may have the most fertile soil and raise the biggest kind of crops; but if he has not brains enough toknow how to go about selling what be has to the best advantage, somebody else will reap the . best profit, not he. Or he May have the best knowledge in the world as to, where the best mar- ket is, and the best knack of , finding out who will give the best' prices hilt if he has no judg,ement as to what crops to raise, or hoW to grovi them, he does not (Yet along. How to make the farm pay is &together a, matter of brains. It is no more of fl Practical question than how to make the mill Pay,or holy to make the store pay. Not more than half the men of the world have any brains to spare. The other. half have more than they need. They spare a little for those that are short, but charge a big interest foil the uS,e thereof. • A piece of public work is to be done, and here are a hundred men to do the work, hut' ninety-nine. don't know how - to go about doingli it. They can work whim directed ; but who is to' direct ?: The one stepS out and 'some- of his brain is loaned to the,. other ninety-nine. He makes twentr.five or perhaps fifty cents day onmelt—clearing twenty-five or perhaps tifty dollars a day. This is the percentage . on the use of his brains. Without' this the men could do. nothing. They could: not earn their salt. One dark-skinn«l friend was not far wrong when he indig nantly denied ithat he had charged one 'dollar for killing the' - 'calf. It was only fifty cents for killing—the other was for the " know how.' , If, there be not 'more money made at farming than there is, we take it to be for the want lof stare brains. Brains to loan out as capital to other men who have none. There is n good deal of truth in_ the popular saving that no man can get rich by; hard wolk. But this large grain of truth is k)nly so When it lias to pay a large tat to the brain that directs it. the Ern Ployc r "gen erally works harder than one he em ploys. After the work at hard man ual labor for years, trsing his•surplus brains to make a little more than his. daily need, and to put that little away, and when the time. ,comes to loan his surplus brains, ,has . to work early and late to keep business together; while the laborer knows ,just when his work is done. It is not that the employer has no hard work to do. It is ,not that he k making monoy by ,hard work. ' lie is simiily making, money by the loan of his' brains to those who have not• enough of their own, Or_ have not had time to lay by.s i ullicient of their surplus brain earnings to loan to others in the same Way. To make the farm pay, then, one must be a capitaliSt—haYe brains to lend. Yet how many - ever think of this ? By one's own personak,labor, a boy or man, or hail' a-doken only, how can one make much' We never could see whyii farm might not be carried on as any Other busi 'less is—by the emploYment Of a large num,b,T of men who' have no idea how to manage themselves; or what is the same thing, the 'larger use of machinery So as to do farming wiu•k on a large scale. .'This is the basis of all the fortunes that are made.' There. is' no other' reaular way to make them.' We see perhaps a solitary .In:tn.-standing in . his little ottice in a crowded city; handling bits of paper in some com mercial tra nS'a Ct I on. cmpioying no one: But he, really has hundreds of men in the background - paying their little tributes of a few cents only per l: lumps for the. uses of his brains. doing for them what . they are unable to a„ . for thcmselVes. L And Nve'are : quite . sure that'those farmers whiOtaye made most money from their callins are those •who have employed the meat men, not recklessly and foolishly. but wisely and well. Business,—the farming business included—is not a' mere chance,game. It is . l an art—an art like the ,art of ivar ; and as in - war, Providence generally smiles on the heaviest' battalions.• We want first a general with abundance of brains; then the more men be has to loan them to the better for his cause. —tkrniantfurii 7;7•• ! . /rti ph.

One cow, with •• a large frame and strong digestive powers, may need fifty or sixty per cent. more food than another - which is small and dainty. Till latter should haLve tool of s good quality, and it, should be given du an easily - digest able form as possible, but l neitlitir end should be fed beyond its power t iligesond assimilate the food. Cows which have an abundance of fresh air and regular exereise wilt eat and more food than they would if they were kept closely continedrin their stables. •'llegularity of feeding and plenty of pure water also "tend to keep the cows in, good health. and. allow them to -use a liberal quantity of food without injury. , Many men, will buy, .a cow-, feed IteT all the meal she will 'bear, and in two or three years sell her for beef.. Up to a cer tain point, high feeding pays, but;it does notpay to try to make a cow pro duce fourteen pounds of_butter Per week when she is not capable. of yielding more than ten. Old cows will bear Oils forcing process mild.' better than those - which are piling, and in all cases high feeding should net be Commenced .before cows are six years of age. Er! for_ the Farm This is a very important platter The great variety of soils and of stocks enablt us to "Make a close adoption of the two,, and here is the, foundation or profit. The kind of stock must be governed also by the variety of feed economically attain able; by the ability, of the owner to house and care for them, by the market to. be supplied. If for beef ; milk, butter, cheese, the breed must be exactly suitable to these points as well as to those referred to above. Many serious mistakes are made, for want of due ;previous-conshleration, and changes (innet be made without great loss of ;both time and money, It IS hater to aim !It sonic' ono point; ame especial market and then . select to suit as near as possible ; but. ,one point is essential--an animal wilt utilize the most food. To Secure - this the stock must be healthy, hardy, - quiet and of large frame,, so that when necessary to be fattened off, there shall -• be , room for meat. If this is not provided fora flhal- loss— more than covering all previous • profitis a Sure thing, A quiet ani-. mal will eat more, will assimulate closer, retain flesh easier, and fatten much quicker than one.of uneasy dis position. ~ • Of all the stock kept by farmers in this country it is 'Safe •to say that - three-fourths of it is not really 'profit- - able, and. one-fourth - is not as val uable as it ought to lie; or as it might; be.made to ltufus Mason, in Oerniantt•Szni TelTraph. • Our.
