The Preachinu YOU Need

There are two sorts Of men who exercise
influence. The first are those who perpet-
uate their own opinions, bequeath their
own names, form sect, gather party
round them who speak their words, believe
their belief Such men were the ancient
rabbis. And Of such men, in and out of
the church, we have abundance now. 1t
is the influence most aimed at and most
loved. The second class is composed Of
those who stirup faith, conscience, thought,
to do their own work. They are not anx-
ious that those who teach should think
Nor that they should take this or that rule
of right or wrong; but that they should
be conscientious. Nor that they should
adopt their own views Of God but that
faith in God should be reused in earnest.
Such men propagate not many views; but
they propagate life itselfin inquiring minds
and earnest hearts
Now this is Gods best work. Men do
not think so. They like to be guided
They ask, what am to think? and what
am to feel? Make it easy for me. Save
me the trouble Of rejecting and the anguish
ofinquiring. 1t is very easy to do this for
them; but from what minds and from
what books do we really gain most OF that
which we can really call our own? From
those that are suggestive, from those thai
kindle life within us, and set us thinking
and call conscience into action. Not from
those that exhaust a subject and seem t.
leave it threadbare; hut from those tina
make US feel there is a vast deal more in
subject yet, and send US, as Eli sent sam
uel into the dark infinite to listen for our
selves.
And this is the ministry and its work
not 10 drill hearts and minds and conscien
ce- into right forms Of thought and menta
postures, but to guide to the living Go
who speaks. 1t is thankless work; fol

school. Mr.. Wright is a teacher OF more
than ordinary qualifications. His methods
of managing and teaching school are ex-
cellent. Could the school have been made
to occupy its proper place in the minds oil
the parents and pupils of the district, |
think it would have stood in the first rank
in town Serious interruption was occa-
stoned by festivals and similar amusements
which to some extent drew off the attention
of the older pupils from their studies, and
contributed not a little to the remarkable
record of this school for hardness.
Dist No. s South Hill had two terms
of school taught by Miss Emma Hunt
This, tho a small school of small scholars,

for the work She has many of the quail
ties of an excellent teacher and with grow

No. 9 South Barton supported three
terms of school of two months each There
was a wrong arrangement of the first two
terms. The first should have begun earli-
er, then after a vacation Of four or five
weeks the fall term would have come in
better season. The first two months the
school was taught by Miss Josie Garland
who had previously taught in this district,
and who succeeded better this year than
last. The second term was taught with
admirable success by Miss Nettie Sartle,
and the third by Mr. Milo j. Owen, with
whom also it was the second term in this
district. His school was Of average char
f acter, but not what I hoped it would be-

Remedy for Ear Ache .

There Is scarcely any ache to which chill
dren are subject, so hard to bear, and so
difficult to cure, as earache. But there is
a remedy never known to fail. Take bit
of cotton batting, put upon it pinch OF
black pepper, gather it up and tie it, dip il
in sweet oil, and insert it in the ear. Pu:
a flannel bandage over the head to keep il
warm. 1t will give immediate relief.

Sailing HAY.-With reference to salt-
ing hay, correspondent sends the follow
ing:
'As to sailing hay, my idea is: Never
salt your hay at ALL How would you like
to be forced to eat so much salt with your
food or starve? This is what you ask your
COWS to do when you salt their hay, My
experience is: All animals do best when
they have free access to salt Keep a box
in some dry place in yard or shed, where
stock can take what salt they need as reg.
ularly as they take their water. Keep the
box supplied with salt, and cattle will new.

The Prairie Farmer Chicago thus talks
in a lively way to its readers, through a
well-intormed correspondent
After experimenting for several years
with the light and heavy seeding in potato
culture. I am convinced that light seeding
produces most uniform size and better
quality potatoes thanheavy seeding. What
| call light seeding is medium-size pota-
toes. Cut one eye in piece planted six
teen inches apart, in drills four inches
deep drills three feet apart. have tried
forty varieties in this way, including all
the modern varieties, and it IS evident in
my mind that, as a general thing. farmers
use more seed than is necessary in planting
potatoes. Because seed Is cheap and they
have plenty Of it, is no reason for using So
much. Better keep the surplus and boil
them and feed them to your pigs"
We have succeeded to our satisfaction
in raising potatoes for several years, BY
planting for seed tubers about the size OF
small hens eggs. cut into halves and some
times quarters; two pieces in hill.
We always select the seed when the po-
tatoes are dry, making three sortings-
marketable, planting, and small ones for
the pigs. Those for planting are carefully
placed in barrels, and put in the driest
part of dry cellar, and such thing a>
failure in getting good plants is unknown

duty to make propositions to the
Council and provides that propositions
can be entertained only on the follow
ing conditions; LIST. The proposition
must be made in wrilin. and submitted

tie Pope, prior to being made to the
Council. a,l. The proposition must
