TO PLANTERS,

Cotton Sced as Is we'll known to al who have given
attention to the subject, abounds in ammonia 1t af-
fords IN abundant and cheap of that essential
element of fertility. 1t is deficient in all the other ee-
mcnts necessary to good fertilizer; hence, when ap-
piled to crops without the proper addition of SOLUBLE
Phosphoric Acd and othr fcrtilizng substances it is
not q complete fertilizer
In order to utilize Cotton Seed MS source of 1mmo-
mia for the above purposes, the PACIFIC GUAyo Con-
rANY has brought into market article under the
above trade mark expressly for composing with Cotton
Seed
The Compound Actd Phosphate Of Lime contains Sol
mte Phosphorc Aeid, and the other elements required
except ammonia; hence when composcd with Cotton
Seed rs directed below, tho ammonia is supplied and
perfect fertilizer is obtained at the lowest cost to the
Planter.

tcndcncc of Dr. st. Julien Ravcncl Chemist &C., hcnco
the integrity of its composition may be relied upon.
DIRECTIONS FOR coMposTING.
To prepare the Compost-Tnko given weight Of
Cotton Seed which be readily done by asceraining
the weight Of basket well filled, and using it as
measure for the given weight. Thus measure out for
example, 4o0 lbs. after ueting ii rel, empty upon it
equal weight Of Acid Phosphate say two sacks Of
2t0 lbs. each after mixing we'll with hoes or shoyels
pack into heap, and repeat the operation charging
the heap to any desired extent.
The Compost heap may be placed in a pen made with
rails to support the sides of the mass simply covering
the top with boards tapping each other to conduct off
the rain. Nothing further is required until the proper
time for application arrives.
In this manner the Compost may he easily made and
its effects cannot fail to give the highest 81 tslaction
while its economy must commend it to general use
The most suitable time to make the Compost is when
allowed to lay undisurbed the better, as it can lose
Of its value and the decomposition will be moro
thoroughly effected
If not conyenicn, to hc made time of Ginning it
will be sufficiently dccomposcd in from three to six
weeks.
BY decomposition Of the Seed in contact with tho
Acid Phosphate there bc loss Of ammonia is
the with the ordinary rotng Of Cotton Seed. Tho
whole of its Ammonia is securely held until liberated
in the soil.
BY Of the bulk of Cotton Seed it is available
for fertilizng purposes only the plantations and
be made capable Of its highest utility must be used as
here proposed.
The Compost when made is applied other fertl-
zcrs at tho rate of from 400 to 600 lbs per acre. or
more at the option of the planter
Compost prepared with Compound Acid Phosphate
Of Lime and Cotton Seed, as above, used to somo
extent last with satisfactory results far has
One to knowledge.

PRIMARY

Since the duties of Primary Teachers
are really more arduous and responsible
than those of teachers in the higher
grades, and since most teachers would pre-
fer situations in the higher grades, even
if the compensation was the same as thatOf
the Primary teachers, it would be difficult
to find a reason, except in the power of
custom, for paying the lowest salary to
teachers of the Primary classes. In st.
Louis, Chicago, and several other cities,
the salaries are alike in the Grammar
and Primary grades. By applying the
same scale of salaries to both departments,
the two positions are made equally honor
able, and school Directors are enabled to
secure for the pupils of each grade the
teachers best qualified to instruct them.
1t is to be regretted that so few Prima-
ry teachers receive any special training
before entering upon the. peculiar duties
of their Office. They are generally well
educated, but their education has been
conducted without any particular refer
ence to the positions they are called to &C.
cupy. 1t is seldom that an examination
of teachers occurs in which a majority of
the applicants are not found to be radi-
cally deficient in some of the elementary
principles of Primary instruction Wells
on Graded Schools.

Unsuccessful.

A few mornings since, officers West

% capture Eb. Burgner o Horse Creek.
II was quite early and spying Burgnef
coming out of his house they ordered a
halt. Burgner broke in arun, the officers
drew their revolvers and though but a
hort distance from the fugitive, their
shots were erring. They emptied eleven
chambers and strange to say not a shot
took effect, and Burgner made good his
escape into the mountains. 1t will be re-
collected he killed his brother some two
months ago.

A Slight Smash.

Last Sabbath evening, the passenger
train going West met with an accident
two miles this side of Greeneville, which,
fortunately, resulted in no injury to any
one. The rear axle of the tender broke,
and dropping upon the track threw off the
baggage car. The car was somewhat
mashed and was turned down the en-
bankment to make way for the cars behind.
The train was just ascending a grade and
running at a low speed. Damage incon-
aiderable.

THE following interesting educational
items are taken from the Educational Re-
porter published by Messrs. Ivison,
Brakeman, Taylor & Co., New York.
Teachers can obtain a copy of the Re-
porter by sending their address to tho
publishers.
THE PEABODY FUND.-This fund of
$1,000, 900 yields an income of about
$4,000. This income is very judi
ciously spent in melting efforts on the
part of the Southern people themselves to
maintain public schools. Wherever the
people oc a district establish a school of
one hundred pupils, and guarantee a GER
tain portion of its expenses, the Fund Com
mittee supply what more is necessary to
carry on this school. In this way $110,-
600 was spent last year. The remaining
part of the income is reserved for extra
ordinary expenses. The free school idea
has not yet become rooted in the South,
but DIR. Sears is quite successful in secur-
ing the cooperation of the Southern peo-
pie. Mr.. Pcabody's noble benefaction is
yielding good fruit.
MICHIGAN.-The Legislature of this
State passed a compulsory attendance law
at its last session, which is Prussian in its
character. but modified so as to be Amer
lean in its application. The friends of
education in that State seem to be jubi-
liant over the result. Michigan has the
honor of being the first State in the Re-
public to adopt a straightforward system
of compulsory education.
NEvADA.-The Governor, State Su-
p~erintendent, and State Surveyor, are a
State Board. Teachers are we'll paid,
and long terms of school maintained
The average wages of male teachers being
$125,59 per month, and of female teach
ers, $97,9S; while the average duration
of the schools Is eight months and eigh-
teen days. These figures are higher, the
State superintendent says, than in any
other State in the Union. Nevada has,
as yet, no normal School, University. Col
lege, or Academy.

The American Idea.

We heard a story the other day of the
rise of a little city in the far west, which
illustrates better than anything else could,
the remarkably progressive spirit which
characterizes Americans over other ma
tionalities, and whichin itself is a true in
dex of American character.
A party of men and women, weary OF
great cities and crowded neighborhoods,
went out in April of last year to find a
home in the far west. They were near a
thousand strong. and just ~one-fourth were
children of a tender age. They crossed
the Mississippi rivers into Kansas; kept
the Indian trail, and chasing the buffalo
and black-tailed deer, they crossed the
unmarked lines into Colorado, where they
pitched their c~orrals on a open plain.
hiss of rattlesnakes was heard among the
sun-1owers, and the prairie dogs were
chattering on a hundred little mounds
Near by they saw a huge gray wolff
Some ~antelopes were browsing In the dis
lance, and the sweet bunch grass suggest
ed Buffalo runs and prowling Cheyenne
braves. They liked the spot; unyoked
their teams, and run up hasty sheds for
shelter and defence. They called their
city Greeley; in May they pitched their
camp, and in June they built a school
AT first the task was rather hard. These
settlers came from twenty-seven different
States. They were strangers to each 9TH
err, and the school books they brought
along were not the same. To fifty differ
ent pupils who were mustered, there were
fifty different kinds of books. But they
began in earnest with the school; and ere
these settlers staked the ground and built
their shanties, they surveyed the lands
around them-roughly-and reserved not
only city sites for public schools and SEM
~inaries, but estates 70 serve as mainten-
ance forever. Eight classes were at work
in a few DAYS, and when the wise men of
the Educational Bureau in Washington
first heard of this new city in the prairie.
it was not a cry for help. in either money
or advice, but simply q report Of what
these energetic people had done.
