The Manure Heap.

The prudent farmer will not permit the
manure that is made through the winter
season to go to waste, and if he is very
wise he will not be content with simply
hauling out half dozen loads when If il
is carefully saved he might have twenty
loads or more to put on his land.
Until one tries the experiment, it seems
astonishing that so much manure could be
saved as we have seen hauled out from one
barn during single winter. The secret
of large manure heap consists simply in
cleaning out the stalls, stables and pens
every day, instead of once week or once
month. BY frequent additions, the val
ue Of the heap for fertilizing purposes is
also greatly increased. When the manure
has accumulated so as to be in the way,
the better plan is to haul it at once to the
field.
Practically, every load of manure hauled
to the field this winter will add load Of
corn to the crib We believe that the good
farmer can just as we'll get one hundred
bushels of corn to the acre in Kansas, as
to be getting but forty or fifty, and we
believe this result is to he obtained chiefly
by using manure. -,ss-... .. ..-
No matter whether the ground has been
long in cultivation or not; no matter if it
is the second years ground; good coat of
manure will increase the yield of grain.
Upon the Agricultural College Farm, we
Sa,O the effect Of manure on new ground.
We saw that the portion MANFRED was
nearly as high again lin June), and the
stalks much larger and stronger, and the
color better, than upon an adjoining place
that was not MANFRED. We have not
heard the difference in bushels of grain,
but we will guarantee that the manure
counted in the crib in proportion to its
looks in the field.
We are satisfied that clover is much
cheaper fertilizer for our large Western
farms, and our peculiar style of farming,
than is stable manure, or, indeed, any
other fertilizer; but this is no reason why
we should waste the manure. Therefore,
improve any leisure hours by distributing
the manure-not one or two loads only,
but twenty, thirty or fifty loads. 1t will
pay.-Kansds Farmer.

NONSENSE.
The New York TriGane says:


..All the political parties in Tennessee
are trembling. Andrew johnson threat
ems to fasten on some one of their, and
Nd one knows how to avoid him. He
yearns, it is said. for a voice in Congress,
and there is a horrible probability that
tA.e animated relics of the past may be
found sufficiently numerous to elect him in
East Tennessee"
This is all nero twaddls and stuff.
No political party in Tennessee fears the
movement of the Ex-President as he has
no influence beyond the circle of his per-
sonal friends and admirers. He can
never again ingratiate himself into the
confidence and respect of the Republican
party, nor can he win back the favor and
homage of the rebel Democracy to whom
he rendered valuable service in bringing
about the rebellion. The oae can never
forget and forgive his treachery and be-
trayal, nor the other his famous St. Cloud
speech and the stern rigors and relentless
prescription of his administration whilst
military Governor of Tennessee. 1t may
be true that Mr.. johnson "yearns for a
voice in Congress-" but the horrible pro-
liability that the animated relics of the
past may be found sufficiently numerous
in East Tennessee, is a graveyard phan-
tasm haunting the terrified Imagination of
the Tribune philosopher. Mr.. johnson
has too much sagacity and good natural
and acquired sense to run for Congress,
fer he veil knows that the fame, which
the highest Office in the land bcqueath-
ed him, would be cloudea by the disgrace
of defeat for the petty honor of a seat in
the National Councils.

THE GOOD WORK GOING ON.

In speaking of the common school in
terest in Carter County. Rev. W. G.
Barker, says:
Il assisted in the organization of County
board of Education, and have been at
tending the meetings of the board. I was
appointed to make an educational address
at the next regular meeting. L am doing
all l can to convince the people that our
only hope rests upon the education, pro-
per of the young. Our County Court
has assumed the responsibility of laying
the additional tax of two mills on the
dollar"
The people of Carter county owe a
debt of gratitude to the Court for its &C.
ton. The county needs schools and we
are glad to see a disposition to encourage
education.

TEACHERS AND WAGES.

There is a growing demand in our
county for better teachers and more Of
them. While some of our districts wish
for better work at low wages, many Of
them are offering higher wages than ever
before, and very few desire to employ
cheaper teachers. Live, active teachers
are the kind we need in our schools, and
we notice district officers soon learn that
the other kind are not profitable, either
for our pupils. or to them, in the some
time more important matters of dollars
and cents. A cheap teacher is generally
a poor teacher, who is always willing to
work very little and draw his salary reg
ularly. A cheap school is generally a
poor school. We do not wish to be IN
derstood as saying that a poor teacher will
not take high wages if he can get them |;
or, that a good teacher does not some
times work for small pay. IF heis alive
to the Importance of his work and fesls a
thorough interest in it. Even though he
may receive less wages than he feels are
due him, his work will be the same and
his desire for success Just the same a.
though he wero receiving all that he might
ask. g .- .,f7.is~ -
But good teachers ought to be we'll
paid We are glad to see our people i'm
proving on their old idea of employing
the cheapest teacher possible.

GUARD WELL THE SCHOOL
HOVSE DOOR.

The above maxim is of peculiar sig
nifcance in our State at the present
time. Wherever and whenever it is de-
sired to build up a good system of instruc-
ton, the very first prerequisite is a corps
| ofcompetent teachers. Like teachers
like pupils" is an old adage founded on
the philosophy of mind, aad strongly urges
the necessity of the principle or duty
here laid down.
The business of teaching is of vastly
greater Importance than is generally sup
posed. The teaching of the young idea
how to shoot" according to the general
acceptation of these terms, is but a small
part of the teachers work. The whole
moulding of the physical mental and
moral being of young immortals into
symmetrical man and womanhood must in
a great degree be entrusted to the teach
ers who are charged with their educational
training, and none but a frst-class type
| Of mind is sufficient to the task.
Every child has its peculiarities and a
certain BENT of mind which it will require
the best efforts CT the practical and skill
full teacher to guide properly, so as to Sc
cure the best possible practical results.
Here, as in NJ other department. of life, is
there a necessity Of adapting means to
ends. end this can only be successfully
accomplished by those who well under
stand the philosophy of the human mind,
and have studied we'll the ste ps or process
by which a child is led to note, compare
knowledge of material things. In these
processes all the great powers of the hu-
man soul must be brought into requisition
the intellect, the sensibilities and the
will must form the groundwork Oh which
the s~uperstructure of knowledge is to be
built, and how to bring these primary and
fundamental elements of the soul into Wig
orous and harmonious play, constitutes
the art of successful teaching.
1t will be readily seen from what has
been said that one who engages as a
teacher or instructor of youth, has assumed
very important functions,a and such as none
other than a very careful mental and
moral training will furnish the necessary
qualifications to perform. And yet all
who lave given even a moderate degree
of attention to the intellectual and moral
training of children and you will readily
perceive that we have not overdrawn the
picture, or assumed more than the nature
of the case clearly warrants.
The mind of the child may be regarded
as a taLula .rdsa, smooth table, ready to
receive any impressions that the hand of
him or her to whose care its training
shall be conided may trace upon it. And
as early impressions are conceded to be
the most lasting, how important must it
be that the hand that draws these first
lines on the unwritten table, should be
properly skilled in the art. Hence the
importance of the axiom which stands at
the head of this article; Guard Vel
the School House Door."-ArkunsaS

COMMUNICATION.
EMBREvILLE, Tenn. April 18th 1872.
EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE:

y
IR:-Your correspondent A. n. d.
whose letter appeared in your issue of
4th inst. wishes to know our views with
reference to the proposed Railroad from
Paint Rock to some point on the East
Tennessee and Georgia Rail Road, either
from Jonesboro,' or Johnson's City. Our
views are as follows;
If this subject is to end in talk las it
has so frequently done before) we do not
see any advantage to be gained, either by
! the community or ourselves; but if the
time has come for action-and we hope it
has,-we will give such a road, all the
aid in our power.
How much can be raised fr,m other
parties who will derive great benefit from
such a Road? Let us hear from them.
and now that the subject is being agitated,
would it not be a good time for the COM
m%issioners of the Nolachucky Valley r.
r. to get to work, open subscription
books, and see if there is enough public
spirit along this valley to take hold of an
undertaking, which, if carried through,
would double the value of property and
give ready and cheap transportation for
the grain, &c. raised on it.
If the State cannot now give its aid,
the road must be built by subscriptions,
and we would like very much to know if
anything like the necessary amount can
be raised.
So, Messrs. Commissioners take hold
now and let the friends of the road see if
it is to be built, or the subject to die
away.
In regard to the guage of the road, our
preference is decidedly for one to cores
pond with that of connecting roads; and
we believe it is now conceded that while
the cost of building and equipping a mar
row-guage road is but little under that
of an i~ordinary guage; the expense in
Cured in transporting freight would,
before many years, render a wide track
necessary.
While preferring a road of ordinary
gusge, we will do all we can to help
build a railroad of any guage whatever
along the proposed route, provided it will
come near enough to our works to facili>
tate the shipments Of iron.
Yours Respectfully,
BRADLEY & Co.

MONEY MADE rs MONEY
SAVED.

The rapidity with which the public
debt is decreased is an annual saving to
the people of the United States of twenty
millions of dollars in the shape of inter
est. The gradual and regular payment
which characterizes the financial policy of
the administration will render the dis
charge Of our Indebtedness a comparative
ly easy matter. 1t must be remem-
bered that whilst the debt is being con-
stantly reduced, the expenses CT the Gov
eminent are increasing with the spread
of population, the establishment of new
post-oficcs and post-lines, the swelling
numbers of pensioners &c. whilst at the
same time, taxation is diminishing and
many foreign importations are being put
on the Free List. Yet, in the very face
and in shameless denial of the incontro-
vertible facts. We have q class of politi-
clans, Democrats and 'sore-head' Repnb-
licans who necessarily arraign the admins
tration for corruption. extravaganza, rcck-
l~essness and imbeeility. The people are
the jury which will try this impeachment
upon the issue of facts and their verdict
will condemn the constituencies, malicious
and m~alienIng adversaries of President
Grant to the pillory of infamy and shame.
