MY DEAR SIR THE lapse OF another year
enables me to speak more decidedly as 20 the
merits of your system of education and it
is no less my duty than my pleasure to say
that both as to literary culture and moral
training do not believe there Is a better
school within the limits of Virginia. You
have evidently the happy talent of stimulat-
ing a fondness for study in your scholars,
whilst you lose no opportunity of quicken
honorable in life. L continue to congratu-
late myself that my son was placed under
your charge, as his progress in all respects
it would be unjust in me to withhold this
voluntary tribute to your excellence as a
teacher.
Wishing you great and deserved success,
am, sir with high respect and great regard,
Faithfully your friend,

A CRACK IN THE HoazrRoueH.

The following from recent number
of the Prairie Farmer, il equal to Frank
Inns story of ,he whistle:
A few days ago friend send word
to me that every day he gave nearly
twenty pals of buttermilk TO lot of
'shoats, and Trey scarcely improved st
all. Thinks this is a breed OF hogs
worth seeing They must be Of the,
sheet-irou Kind. SO called on him
heard him repeat the mournful story,
and visited the sty, in order to get a
better view of the miraculous swine.
| went into the pen, and Oh close ex-
animation, found crack III the trough
through which most OF the contents.ian
off under the floor. Thinks ], here is
the type of the failures of our agricul-
tural brethren. aeu
WAen see farmer on;itting alf
improvements because of a little cost,
selling all his farm stock TO buy bank
railroad or mortgage stock, robbing his
land, while in reality he is also rob-
blng himself anG his heir, thinks ], any
friend yeu have crack in your hog
trough.
When l see a farmer buying guano,
but wasting ashes and hen manure,
trying all sorts of experiments except
intelligent hard work and economy,
getting the choicest of seeds regardless
OF cultivation, growing the variety of
fruit called Sour Tart Seeding, and
then swsetening with sugar, pound. for
pound, keeping the front Held ricli.
while the back lots are growing up with
thistles, briars asd alders; contributing
to the Choctaw irdian fund, and never
giving cent to any agricultural socie-
ty; such a man, will give written
guara ntee, has crack ia his hog trough
and IN his head also.
When | see farmer allowing loose
boards all over his yard, fence down,
hinges 0ffthe gate, manuie q in the barn
yard, leone to the conclusion that he
has large crack in his hog trough.
When l sec a farmer spending his
tme travelling in his carriage, when he
has to sell all his corn to pay hired
help, and his hogs are so lean that they
have to lean against the fence to squeai
| rather lean 20 the conclusion that
somebody that stays at home viii. have
lien Oh the farm, and that some day
the bottom will GENE entirely out OF
his hog trough.
