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.

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 ?"
