FOR TEACHERS We have frequently expressed our views of duty of teachers to their pupils in reference to the best methods of in. struction ;. and will repeat thatswe under ' stand it to be the duty of a teacher to use ' those methoijs: of instruction which will cause th..pupils to thin/ most, act most, inratigate most, and thereby, develop their own minds. tlt is a well known fact of natural law, tln , t curdle gicesitrength, and this law applies to the mind is well as to the body. Another _thing should be constantly kept in view by tin( teacher, namely : the inztruction shoulele of a practical . shar adv.. • • With these ideas thoroughly impressed on the minds of the teachers, and follow ed with earliest effort to carry them to a successful issue, teacher's will find Pleas- Lut as well as profitable to themselves. • ' When any new method- of instruction is introduced, by those who seek to dis cover-the "new and novel," th i e teacher should meakire it with this thought in mind, will this method tend most to devel op the minds of my pupils, by causing them tr, think most? is theinstruetion prac tical? is it' useful? We are aware that many of the text . books are not made with these objects in view, and-thcrefore the teacher must be able to discern that which is practical and useful, and teach that in such a way as to develop thought. We do not wish to advocate any particislar methods, but the method which constant ly has in view, utility and development of mind and thought should unquestionably be adopted and used by the teachers. THE T - EACITER.—A teacher should nev er gm; hiniself out of temper unless he ,fishes to create a Babel in his school room, yet his combativeness and destruc tivenyss should lie fully developed ; for he who- s destitute of these will soon be un derstxl by mischievous urchins who read triittd better,, than we sometimes suppose, and will instantly take advantage of any weakness or defect of the teacher. The faculties of Combativeness and Destruc tiveness in human character impress boys as distinctly as large horns on the bead of an ox impress his associates with feel ings of respect. ,:Neither force of charac to in man, nor the Wins of the ox need be - stiikingly- used, but it is best that they be possessed and their normal influence felt. • The.tea,,her should aim to l'eultivate a kindly= tomeof voice. If he have a harsh one he - should school himself into a mod ulated expression of it, and his whole manner should he such as to inspire re siwet'tnitigled with a trace of fear. It is i"ccill, generally, for a teaidr to speak in a low tone of v;iice, never raising it abtve the common conversational key. Scold ing, sharpness, and loudness 44 voice are found rarely, in conjunction with good order, and good government in school or • _4 teacher organized thus and well in structed in all the branches be is expect ed to teach, will never be suspected by his pupils of any want of information or a!rility tir instruct them.-21relson Sizer zn 11 7 A,1t t" do and Why. lbunmso.6u:cm—The discussion of the "boarding 'round " systeni at the Teachero' Associations, held in %different parts of the county, as well as the able :Li tides in the newspapers of the county, giving its merits and demerits, is produc ing its results in many' localities in .the county. A number of the 'districts have ttaudoned. the system (hiring the past 'year, and many more will follow the com ing school year. We believe, taking into comideration its advantages and disad vantages, that the district, the pupils, - afiii the teacher, will be benetitted by giy : it the teacher a 'Lance to secure a per manent boarding place, where he may prepare limvelf for the succeding day's work in school, and not feel as though he were living upon the charity of his . schbol patrons. EnucanoN !DEFINED.—The term edu cation has more meaning than those who use it generally suppose. The.acquisition of book knowledge, such as arithmetic, geography, grammar, and the, like, to most minds answers as a definition of the word education. But in its widest sense it embraces the training of the intellectu al p . owers, and the acquisition of the beim htStic knowledge; it embraces; also, training and development of the moral sentiments, the guidance and control of the animal propensities and of the social dispo:iitions. It embraces still more, tak ing in the development and proper care of the bodily constitution, and the train ing of the muscles to act in obedience to the mind. ,• • IigNEFIT of GESTIONING.—We rernem bcr well, mobile student; the Preceptor would ask many questions, but never • engirded any, and would aot even say :whether the answers given were correct or not, but Would say, "look that up and learn whether you have answered,correet ly or not." The subject was usually ex amined and a conclusion arrived at .as, to the correctness of the answer previously given ; or when the-question was brought u_P again, and the answer and conclusions Were erroneous, another series •of qUes tions were asked that would show or con vince that the e answer previously given was incorrect.' We remember that fre quently,•by thistileasuat we were led to different conclusions than those formed , • _before ! the quizzing process had been gone through with. I'nx Daily Rerfew and s_elool Journiil mention the name of Superintendent G. W. Ryan as an excellent .successor to the late Professor F t A. Allen, of the Maus field State I.,ornial School. We hope, ho*ever, fo : the benefit of the schOols of ih - atford .runty, that Mr, Ryan will _serve out his present,4rm as County Su. _perintendent, and should the Directors re-elect him to that position', he will serve the - second term as ,efii eiently as he has his first thus far. ;,We biipe Mr. Ryan will not accept the Principalship, should it be tendered to him. . 31.“..F.TEAculitts.-We are gratified to notice that male teadhers at, in greater demand than formerly. The male teach err, in the county are as a class well quali fied, capaule, and industrious young men, worthy of all the encouragements that can be given them. The people should enticavof• to encourage these teachers by paying them fair salaries, and giving them permanent - boarding places. We believe the tow! ik coining w hen the pub lie-will see the benefits of such a course, end will *Adopt it generally In the county, WYsor Vrta.krit t3cnoot..—Actual re cords kept in this school show. that Miss Mary York and Miss•Wealthy.Coolbaugh stand at the head of the highest class in Orthography. The former is fifteen aid the latter fourteen years of age. Mire York was marked one hundred per cent. in Higher Arithmetic, and Miss Cool !laugh one htindred in practical. Both have merited A No. 1 mark In conduct. , Daisy Madill, twelve years of age, has merit marks showing that her lessons in Orthography have been perfect for ten successive weeks.? J. H. Jaminces, Teacher. N . Vysox, February 28, 1880. Disvnicr Institutes have been held in many of the townships throughout the county during the past winter, and if the teachers will condiict them properly, we relict that by another year nearly every township will' have its local teachers' in. stitute, and the people and directors will eventually see the good results of such meetings, and allow the teachem the time while attending such gatherings. GOOD reports come to us from:the Graded School of Overton, Independent district, as to the ability, tact, and indus try displayed by Mr. Black, the Princi pal, and Miss Park his assistant. Good teachers Will make good schools. TUE Sizing Term of the East Smith field Graded School commenced on Mon day. Professor LS.

ROBERTS' Egablished 1855. /MALE - It IN -ADd, , - 4,_::','-!ed_.!,:.* for the' Month. Spring Work.--The spring Of the Almanac now legine ; but the spring like weather during a large portion of this winter, has allowed the spring work in !diddle ' Southern, and West,• eriStates, to he greatly forwarded.. For the first time in many , years, the writer has ' been plowing through nearly the whole, of January, and hundreds of other farmers have done the same. Fencing, ditching, clear ing wOod-land, and even sowing grass-seed, has been extensively done, as though spring had already come. Sometimes,"the most haste is the worst spee," and it remains to be seen, if, after ;all, the season's work will e benefited. It is a peculiar time, in which caution should be ex ercisO, lest work done too soon, may need be done over again. Spring Wheat.--. Spasmodic efforts are made now and then, to ,grow spring wheat in localities where fall wheat only should be sown. Spring wheat requires a cool, climate, and the hot and early summers of the Middle States, are not favorable to Nevertheless, Many farmers ,have "tried once more," and have failed, as might have been expected, and as 'we have often given warning would be the result of attempts to grow this class opf wheat too far South. Southern New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, are out of 'the spring when', latitude, and . a line west from Central New York, will as nearly as possible separate the fall wheat and spring wheat districts. Where spring wheat is sown, the eed should be in the ground. as ear ly as the soil can be fitted for. it. Oats follow spring wheat, being somewhat less hardy. It is thought by some, that oats will take no harm from careless seeding. But this is a mistake, for a good crop, deep cover ing in a well prepared soil is needed; shallow sown seed does not .tiller; while that sown deep will tiller about as much as wheat; with good, cover ing, the seed may be sown much ear lier, and will be safe againgt changes of the weather, while seed near or on the surface, will be destroyed either by frost, or by dry weather, as soon as it sprouts. _ Fertilizersfor Spring Crop.—Top• dressing fall-sown crops,, should 'be done this month if at all. The re turning warmth first affects the roots, and they start\ CO grow before the leaves. The stimulant is thus neel ed fur the roots, before the upper portion has appeared to. grow. -A dressing of 150' or 200 pounds per acre of any good artificial fertilizer, can be used with profit on any crop, if applied at the proper time, when the growth begins to start; The present J.Vecessity of American agriculture, is larger crops at the same cost, - ; or a less proportionate cost than our present small ones. This result can only be secured by additional fertilizine. The present average of our crops is not more thatrone fourth of that which ,the soil is capable of producing, and this extra three-fourths may be 'proauced without-any more labor by the use of fertilizers or additional Manures; but fertilizers chiefly. Artificial Fertilizers add to the soil certain elements in a condition in which they are immediately i detive, and force a strong, vigorous early growth, and so enable the plants to push out, and appropriate the manure later, ween •it is in the best,condition for plant fobd. A Strong. Plant Digests . .ibr. Food better than a week one, and its ap petite, so to speak, is more vigorous, precisely as is that of a strong, heal thy young animal. It is with the plant as with the animal ; early feed ing, and vigor of growth, bring early and vigorous maturity. 'The farmer should study to ge early a strong and healthy growth. There is'no Fear of a Surplus.— The world's markets are at our feet„ The fear that we may produce more titan can be disposed of, is a bug bear and a phantom. 'lt. has been conclusively shown, that at a certain price.? we can control all the Europe an ularkets, and that 'this price, while it pays us fairly, is too_ small for a profit - to the European fanners, who have to pay large rents, heavy taxes, employ expensive, labor, and. use costly fertilliers. • Think for a ilomezit!—There are seven millions of soldiers in Europe, who are non-producers, and expen sive consumers; two or three million of army horses, all eating, and not working ; emperors, kings, prinCes, and titled persons of all kinds, who are supported in the I grea' test•lury out of the public revenues; an "the farmer pays for all." Ire_ Need not Fear to Compete ` with farmers so burdened;,odi , prosperity consists in lessening the costof pro duce, and selling it to those nations, who thus hamper themselves with burdens too grievous to be borne; beComing iii fact, the' food producers for a large portion of the population of the•world, nearly one half living without labor. ' Fodder Crops.—lt has been prov ed repeatedly, that one acre of good green fodder will feed two cos through the summer. nxlder crops must be put in early. A mixture of oats and peas is the best crop for 'early cutting; to comb in after the :first clover which follows the rye. The two sown togethr, yield, on One acre, about, much as if sown separately on twoacres. This, may be doubted, but it is true. ' , Tall growing leafy oats, and - tall peas, yield the most fodder; the' "Block eye Marrowfat" pea, grown:in Cana da as a field crop, is the befit. fi:or our, use, the seed being free, from Weevil. For's), second crop, the earliest Can ada Gray" pea may, be' sown 4 The fodder is in the best i conditiion for cutting, when the peas are ? a full blossom. Southern eotr-Peas will produce green fodder for late use, but - cannot e sown until May, or after corn is planted.. Those who wish to sow them; shOuld look for Seed,: as it is nat always to be had. - Seeds.—All the seeds that may be required, should be procured at once. There are some kinds of seed that are better to be changed occasionally, oats and potatoes are of this kind, and should be procured from a north ern locality; where the oats are har dier, and the potatoes larger and more vigoroUs. Clover and Grass Seed.—. Clover may be sown this month. When the ground is• lifted and cracked sown a l ight frost, the seed may be sown with good effect. But the preferable Method is, to sow so soon as the soil is dry 'enough, anft_then run over the, grciund with a light smoothing bar-, row, and spread 156 lbs. of fertilizer' immediatly. •Orchard -Grass is a inost,valuable kind to - sow with clo ver; it is early and late, and • .unsur. passed for enttinVor soiling, or for . Iv.. e Thre' bushels oiseed per acre, is not too much, as closelmeding ie neededi - to _prevent the. grass from .forming largerclumps or stools. -- Grass Liands.--It is a mistake to suppose thit our climate forbids the success of pertnanerit grasalol-inea dows and pasture& it the 'right kind of land be chosen, low, moist, , and full of vegetable matter; and is kept well - maunred, and occasionally re-seeded, we can have permanent grass as well as other - countries. But it is necessary to sow, and en courage-a' number of kinds of grass those with creepidg roots beingpref: erable,"it the quality is good. 'lbis , subject Is Worthy of study and ex _ periment._ Al/inn—The roller is both a good and a bad iMplement ; good when rightly used, but very bad otherwise. One good use of it is, to run it over wieadOws early 'in .the , spring, to. smooththe surface, press in stones and tufts, mole-runs, and other inegular itiwi. 'Orain fields are also benefited by roiling which crushes any lumps left afterthe winter, presses in roots that may have been thrown out, and covers grass seed. I t ight;rolleis are the best, if a heavy One is needed, it is always easy to !bad a light one, but one cannot make' a heavy roller light. . Live Stock.—lt is a critical time with'young animals, and sometimes with , old ones. Those that have been well kept, will continue to do well, but*, is safest to give all young animals, especially calves, a dose or two of physic. The blood becomes affected. by the dry feeding, and close herding of the winter,, and some laiative is required. Other wise the danger of fe,brile disease, of which Black Quarter (anthrax or carbuncular erysipelas), is the most frequent:, will be imminent. Two ounce's of Epsom Salts, or half ounce . of Ilyposulphite of Soda, given twice, may save - a calf. A. pint of =Linseed Oil, given two or three times to a cow or a horse,. will help the diges tion, loosen the hide, .and Facilitate the, change of coat, wich is accom panied by irritation of the skin, and slight fever. 1 7 ermin.--Make a clean sweep hi' lice, ticks, fleas, and other vermin, as soon as possible.. Oil for grease is the test basis for an effective rem edy, and"Sulphur perhaps i t s - the best thing to add-to -oil. One part of Kerosene, added' to four parts of Lin seed Oil, makes au excellent applica tion, that is not in any manner injur ious to the skin. Ticks may be pick-_ ed from.sheep and lambs. ,They will ' come out on the fleece on a *arm day, and the best „instrument 'w:tli which to kill them,' is a pair. of sharp pointed scissors. Kill at the, same time every round, .red egg that may fotind: _ • Poultry.,—"-The early chick gets the ear4'..worrn," and sooner begins to 'feed itself: March pullets are those which 011 the egg basket in the winter time. .Therefore ,set all the broody hens for, which eggs can be procured as soon as possible, and take great care of the* chicks which tome in this month. A. warm - run out doors may be made trader a hot bed sash, arranged between-two coops, and laid on boards set on their edges.
