ITltc gatmro* Department. Preparing For Wheat MR. EDITOR :—Very little, of late, has been printed in the Telegraph, relating to this very important crop, not only to the farsser, but to the whole world of mankind. I propose, therefore in this article, to give m • mode of preparing the ground, as well as putting in the wheat,and prass seed In this section, wheat commonly follows oats. As soon as the oa's are gathered, the stubble is plowed and rolled ; in a eouple of weeks the ma nure is hauled and Bpread evenly over the ground, and again plowed, not quit*? so deep as the first time, and again rolled ; a few days before seeding, the ground is again plowed, harrowed and rolled, and it is then ready to receive the seed. Aonther way of preparing the ground, i3 to haul out the manure on the stubble, then plow and roll, and if the young oats start soon after, harrow occasionly to keep it from growing. A few days before sowing the seed, it is again plowed, harrow ed and rolled. You will notice, I use the roller more than the harrow, as the latter draws up the manu e to the surface, and interferes with the drilling. Time of Sowing, and Quantity of Seed per Acre. —Experience has taught us ,that from the 18th to the 25th of September is the most suita ble time for putting in this crop.—lf drilled, 1£ bushels,if sowed broadcast, 1J bushels is the quantity of seed that 1 putin to the acre. I prefer drilling, if the surface is clear of trash and stumps. If the timothy seed be a.wed with the drill, 4 quai ts to the acre I think sufficient. If sown broa cast, it is very important to have it done soon after the wheat, or before a rain comes to settle the ground. Indeed, I would rather de fer sowing my wheat, than to miss getting the timothy seed in before a rain. After the seed ng is done, if it is low ground, where it would be likely to perish, if water stood mit, I take the plow and draw furrows, (if not under-drained,) to draw off tlfe stand ing water. About the first of April, following, I sow 4 quarts of clover seed to the acre. I might here add that I have found it best to put, say half a coat of ma nure for wheat, and in a year or two pa*. on a coat of manure as a top dressing in the fall, for grass. 1 might also state, that I have found it a saving of time to have the ma nure heap turned over a week before haulinglmt as it-will heat and get much shorter, will load ersier, and spread evener. To Build a Stack. There is much more science involv ed in building a stack of hay, loose grain, or bundles in a correct man ner than there is in erecting a p\ rutuid that will stand the test of wasting and raging elements of time and changing weather. The main point is to build a stack so as to turn all the rain oft' instead of turning toward tho middle of the stack, where it would produce more or less damage. Beginners will almost always com mence at tho circumference or out side of the stack,instead of commenc ing in the midd'e. Wheather a stack is to be made of bundles or loose ma terials, it should always be commen ced in the middle. And the mid dle should always be kept ful lest, from one to two feet higher than the outside, and well pressed don4f. The middle should always be trod down more closely than tho outside, so that when the stack commences to settle, the outside will settle more than the middle and thus tend to give a good inclination to the straw on the outside, and will carry off the water rapidly. It is better to make round stacks than those with square corners, be cause such-square corners will never Bettle down evenly with tho sides ; and thev cannot carry off the rain as well • s if the top were round. As soon as the stack is built as high as the bilge, care must' be exer cised to give riore. inclination to the sheaves, by keeping the middle fuller, and the sheaves must be crowded as closely together as they can be to keep the water from falling down on the course of sheaves below. When stacks are built of loose ma terials, the stacker should be careful to place as many of the straight bunches of straw up and down the stack on the outer course as he can conveniently. These long straws will turn off' the water almost as well as a board.—[ Maine Fanner. PLOWING AMONG TREES.— In plow ing among trees, and where it is de sired to throw the furrow from the row, a plow wi"h a movable beam, and set as ''wide" as possib'e, ena bles one to p'ow much closer to tho trees. When it is desired to throw the furrow towards the trees, tbe same plan is equally advantageous, but of course it should £hen be set as narrow as possible—t. the beam should be turned to the left. Yrur dreams will be sweeter, and your rest unbroken if you know your stock is comfortable, —Great talkers are iikc cracked pitch- AO ; eveiything runs aut of tJUem (Nucational department Some Words to Female Teachers. NUMBER I. The war, about to close has produced revolutions not only in the political, but in the educational world as well. It has opened schools of the country to temale teachers, that were closed to them before It has shifted the performance of the ed ucational interests from the shoulders of males to those of females. It has in oth er and various ways, by the withdrawal of the sterner sex, vacated positions of honor and trust which by the law of equilibri um were filled by what was left behind —largely by the female element. Whether this is to be a blessing to the country —whether it is to be considered an incidental benefit or an evil necessarily imposed on it—remains for time to de termine. There may be those among the most ardent advocates of woman's right* who will claim rne of the benefi oent results of the war to be the elevation and enlargement of woman's sphere, and through that, an extension of her rights. However that may be, it is certain that a vast responsibility is thrown upon her by the incidents of war, especially in the ed ucation of children. That that responsi bility will remain with her for some time to come, there can be no doubt. That it j will remain so permanently depends upon the manlier in which it is discharged by her. By force of circumstances female teach ers were employed, last year, where tho people would never before consent to do so, and thus an opportunity was afforded to di.-abuse the popular mind of that illy founded prejudice existing in many com munities against them; and now, since the people are obliged to give you a trial and will give you a fair one no doubt, will you by an earnest effort on your part to qualify yourself for the work, endeavor to bring it about, that what they do now from necessity, they may do hereafter from choice ? I3ut do not misunderstand me. With all due deference to the fair daughters of' the land, especially of Msfilin county, 1 do not believe that the educational inter ests of the county demand or would be enhanced by the disbanding of the male forces and entrusting those interests ex clusively to the bauds of females. That is a consummation by no means devoutly to be prayed for. There are elements of character peculiar to both sexes which ought to be instilled into the youth of our land, and which can only be instilled by the combined efforts of both. The sternness of one and the mildness of the other, or in the words of another, the ' hardness" of one a.id tho "softuess of the other are both important elements of education, and their modified possession is essential to completeness of charac ter. The present female force in our schools as teachers, I think, is not too large, provided those who enter this rich field of labor properly appreciate the work and make the requisite preparations for it.— Is this the case, or are some teaching be cause it pays bettor than washing dishes, &c. ? I will not press the matter, but simply state that there is an abundance of material for the feminine gender in the market for teachers, more than can be used at present; and the probability is that muoh of it is yet in a rude state," " void and without form," needing the plastic hand of some good spirit to move upon it, and bring it out into beautiful proportions, if pcradventure it contain the elements of a model teacher. NUMBER 11. There are many inducements for fe males to enter the arena of teaching, and there are reasons why they should, and why they should become professional teachers,—reasons which do not apply with equal force to males- Among the inducements are: Ist. It pays. 2d. It places her on equality with the other sex. • It pays, if not in an absolute sense, yet in a relative. It pays better than the kind of labor that usually falls to her lot. However unfortunate it may ap pear, it seems to be her fate to have much of the drudgery of human iife to perform and to receive few of its rewards —to fill subordinate positions, bad-paying —while the higher and more lucrative are monopolized by the more favored sex. Taking things as they »re", then, taking things into consideration the vast dispro portion wiih respect to the positions in the various departments of life accessi ble to each, there can be nothing wrong in saying that what may be good pay to the oue may be bad p*y to the other ; and yet I would not, by any means be under stood that by reason of this, a female ought to receive less salary than a male, if she does the same amount of work and does equally well. That would be gross injustice ; and the public are beginning to regard it so. Other things being equal female*. ;,n most places, are paid the same as males. It won Id appear, then, that the matter ftf pay is some inducement for females to engage in teaching. Next, it places £er on equality with the other sex, not jn a political aspect, to ue sure, but what pertains to practical life. She receives the same pay as a male teacher, and is entitled to all the rights and privileges to which he, as a teacher, can lay claim. No one questions her right to a seat in educational assem blages, to participate actively in the ex ercises, to make speeches, vote, hold of fices, &c., or of attending every meeting of the District Institute, enjoying its benefits, and of contributing just as much as shq pleases to the interest and profit of those meetings. Besides all this she has the not-very-greatly-prized privilege of writing for the educational eolumu. All combined, I think, ought to be sufficient to satisfy any moderate advocate of woman's right. Among the reasons why females ought to teach may be mentioned, —first, she is needed for the work ; second, she is adapted for the work ; third, she can be dseful in the work. That she is needed everybody knows. That she is adapted to the work we all admit. That she there 1 y enters a vast field of labor, in which bjie can serve her generation in the best manner, cannot be denied. All of wh-ch reasons taken to gether constitute one grand reason why sho ought to be a professional teacher. What I mean by this is, that she ought to make a thorough preparation for the work. She ought to study not only j the principles of the vtfVious branches to be taught, but also those underlaying the ground work of teaching itself. She ought to aim at a State prafessional certifi cate. and when she has it acknowledge to the world that she is bound to be a teacher for life, miles- somebody happens to interfere. (The like has happeued in the world, by offering her a different, not always a better situation.) . Why should n't she do this! The pulpit, the bar, tile rostrum and other eminent positions in the literary world are closed to her. This one in rank, in honor, in usefulness inferior to none, stands invitingly before her. Certainly she should. Why don't she? Why are are there not more who confess ■ they intend making a business of teach ing and get to work and prepare for it as though they meant it ? Does tho prob lem find a solution in the seeming dispo sition on the part of many young ladies to associate the idea of thirty or forty, but without a prospect but that of teach ing? Is their cry : —Of all the ills of life save me from being an old maid? Ito such sublunary thoughts vex their brain and keep them from coming out boldly before the world as professional teachers? If so, I deeply"sympathize with them and, if possible, would do more—would guarantee them agaist such a calamity. Under the circumstances, the best I can do is to say that, in mv opinion, the two are not go intimately related as to he in separable. Because a goodly number of ladies glide gracefully throush the school room into old maidisin. it docs not follow that they have done so from neces sity. They may do so from choice. At all events thero have been some right respectable old bachelors in the world, from St. Paul down, apd with them the probability is it was a matter of choice. Bachelor is the male correspondent to maid. Ido not believe, therefore, to be an old maid or an old bachelor is the worst of all evils in this world. T believe < it is possible to live for some hisrher ob ject than to woo somebody, and make him or her happy, or miserable as the case may be. (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.) Aim at Something. Arthur Oilman, in one of his public addresses, tells what he calls an "Andover l story." One day, he says, a man went I into a store there, and began tcllina about I a fire. " There never had been such a fire," he said, "in Essex. A man going , by deacon Pittingill's barn saw an owl on a ridge pole. He fired at the cwl, and the wadding somehow or other get , ting into the shingles, set the hay on fire, and it was all destroyed—ten tons of hay, six head of cattle, the finest horse in the , country," &o. The deacon was nearly r crazed by it. The men in the store be gan exclaiming and commenting upot it. ; "What a loss!" says one. '•Why the t deacon will nigh break down under it," , says another. Ar,d so they went on spec r ulating, one after another, and the con ' vcrsation drifted on all sorts of conjec tures. , At last a quiet man, who was r spitting in the fire, looked up and said : " Did lie hit the owl 112" That man was | for getting at the point of the thing Let all pub.ic speakers, in the pulpit and r elsewhere, heed the inoral. Did you , aim at something, and did you hit what I you aimed at? No matter about the splurge and the smoke atjd the Jiay s " Did you hit the owl ?" —Kossuth has again been heard from 1 having written a letter to one of hie s Hungarian compatriots complaining bit - terly ot the course of his old associates ! who are disposed to abaudon the caijse of 8 revolution, t .i- m > t is saiti that GeueralOrtegaclaims that tyo Imperial cavalry regiments have j .deserted, aud that j\la*jmilliau is about a J introducing # large number of negroes, ,1 to be kept .n slavery ten years \MERICAN CITIZEN so>h PriatiagQ>lffte©l Ornamental, Plain, Fancy, Card, Book AND mim m Corner of Naln and Jtflernon Streets, Opposite Jack's Hotel, • ■* m»«rn.
