from JOPpa. n
EDIroRs COURIER Through your
paper / would like to be heard, as one
of those who feel that we are unfairly
treated in regard to our school privi-
leges.
Itis well known to all that we have
. good school house in the extreme
western limits Of the city, now, be-
lieve, well and comfortably furnished.
We Joppaites are proud of it. This
house was built-so we understood
whom we paid our taxes-for the ac-
commodation of the children living in
that part of the city, and in that part
Of the Independent District lying out
side Of the city, which extends for q
mile or more northwest of it,
These scholars reside from three
fourths of mile to q mile and half
or moro fromthe old school house.
believe It was the intention to have
all the branches taught here that the
law requires to be taught ina common
district school. Now what we COM
plain Of is this: There are no classes
taught here except those of small schol-
ars. As nearly as / can find out there
arc NO classes above those of Mental
Arithmetic, Fourth Reader, Primary
Geography, etc. All scholars above
these classes--of whom there are
scores in tho western pert of the Dis
trict-must 60 to the old school house
| or stay at home; some are staying at
home and some are attending q select
| school.
Now in the name of common sense
and juvenile comfort, why are oul
children compelled to wade through
snow in such weather as we now have
over distance of from q half mile tt
q mile and three-quarters, when mos
of them could be attending school al
most at homer We don't know ex
actly whose fault it is; neither do WI
have desire to grun,ble at those mucl
abused officials, the School Board ; blu
we know something Is wrong some
where, which ought to be rcinedied
We are certainly entitled to equal ad
| vantages with the balance of the Dis
trict, and ii we can't have them W,
| most respectfully ask Why. ! thinl
this Is an expression Of the feeling o
10 great majority of the parents ant
children living in this part of the Dis
trict. Very truly,

The TRUE WAY TO WATER TREEs.-lf
trees standing In grass ground are watered, the
surface around about the body, for three or
four feet In each direction, should be covered
with mulch ofsome sort, 10 retard evaporation.
It will be labor lost 70 water trees on the lawn
without exercising this procaution, as the
water will disappear before hundredth part
of it has reached the roots Straw, hay, lawn
grass, weeds, shavings, or tan bark will make
an excellent mulch. Spread tbs mulch three
or four inches deep, pour two or three pailsful
Of water around each tree, and tho water viii
permeate the entire soil, keep IL damp, and
supply the moisture which the tree must have ,
or die. II the soil Is In a tillable condition,
draw the earth away from the tree TO the
depth of on or two inches, pour in two or
three pailsful of water, and return the mellow
earth, which will keep the surface from baking
Yet mulch is far preferable to the latter mede.
When the soil appears nearly dry to the
touch, the roots cannot possibly derive the
needed supply Of water to keep the leaves and
branches from injury during the rapid eyapo-
ration which Is goIug on night and day. When
the atmosphere is as dry and hot as the air in q
huge lumber-Riln, 1t will have the moisture in
every tree and plant and the moisture Of our
bodies, even off it (the hot airy has TO take II
| (the moisture) out of the hide" Hence, we
must drink, and the trees and plants must be
supplied with water or they wlther and die.
A great many persons scatter the grass from
their lawns and the weeds from their garden:
in the highway, which is bad horticulture In
many respects. II they would spread sucl
grass and weeds around their growing flower
or ound any.garden vegetables, the mulch
would save the labor Of carrying many hogs
heads Of water to supply the plants with nee
ccssary moisture, and the covering would keel
the surface mellow, keep the weeds down, ant
save 4 vast deal of manual labor, and the crop:
would be heavier.-Or Home Monthly.

THE DEPTH OF SEED -SowiNe. This is
seed time, and one question Of the season is,
eat what depth shall we SOW and plant ?" The
small grass aud vegetable seeds require only a
slight covering Probably more grass seeds
are lost from being covered too deeply than
from amy other cause. Natures mode Of soS-
ing IS to drop the seeds OH the sli face, and let
them be washed into the earth, or simply COW
cred with leaf, and if We could saw grass
| seed just before q shower, We would not cover
| IL aL al. We have tried sowing small seeds Oh
| the surface, and keeping the ground moist by
a pane OF glass or cabbage-leaf, and it has
been wonderful to notice how nicely and
quickly they terminated. 10 natoes, squashes,
| beans, onions, and many other plants push the
shells Of the seeds out Of the ground as they
terminate, and ifthere is much depth OF earth
over them, find it difficult to wo'k their pas
sage. The depth Of seed sowing varies some
what with the season. IL this is wet, the SOW
ing must be more shallow. The danger of rot
ting increases directly with the depth of the
soil above the seeds. From a carefully condu =
ted experiment, it was ascertancL that coril
planted at the depth OF ali inch, came up il
eight and one-half days. planted one and uue-
half inches, it came up In nins AMI one-hal
days; at two inclie :, in ten days.; at two AMI
:, half inches, in eleven and onc-half DAYS; q
at three inches, in twelve days; at tire
l aud one-half inches, in thirteen days O
II five and one half inches, IN seventeen and one
half days. At the las6 depth the plant
were feeble, AMI, alter short struggle for life
died. The depth of seed sowing must var
/, also with the nature Of the soil, being NOR
l. shallow in clay loan than In sandy loan.
= geueral it may be said that half an inch
~ sufficient depth for the seeds of most garde
y vegetables. Peas, however, require GOVERN
II of three or four inches, II the soil is mellow,
Il it always should be for all kinds Of seeds.

OATS AND THEIR ORIGINAL a meeting of
farmers club, recently held at Cobourg, Cam
ada, the secretary gave some account Of the Or
igin of oats and the countries where they grow 4.
Its native country is unknown, but most prob
ably it came from Central Asia. There is no
mention of oats IN the Old Testament; we are
told that Solomon fed his horses and 0romeda-
ries on barley. Oats were however known to
the Greeks, who called them Bromos, and to
the Romans who made use Of them as proven
der for the horses, early in the Christian era
| The oats are better suited TO moist than a
dry, and to a cool rather than to warm eli
mate, though their fields of cultivation do moi
extend quite as far north as that of the coarsel
kinds OF barley. In Scotland, oats grow to thu
north point; in Norway their culture extends
to north latitude So degrees, in Sweden to lat
itude 63 degrees 30 minutes; in Russia thes
polar limits appear to correspond with those o
rye; south of the parallel of Paris oats are lit
tie cultivated, LII Spain and Portugal they ar
scarcely known, yet they are grown with con
siderable advantage in Bengal.

NOVEL HORSE PRoTEcToR.-It is COM
mon thing in our cities to protect the heads of
draft horses with bonnet or cushion to keep
oil the blaze of the sun. But Dublin projec-
tor proposes to extend similar protection over
the entire animal. lie makes frame Of wood,
whale-bone, iron or other flexible but strong
| material and this he places over the horse, q
few inches above him, the frame being supper
ted either by attachment to the harness OF
thills of the vehicle. Upon this frame he stretch
| rs a sheet Of canvas, oiled cloth or sheet rub
| Der, which forms complete pent house to keel
| animal and the covering permits free passage
| of air which aids Transportation and helps to
keep the animal cool. The principle, so far as
this is concerned, is siuL liar TO that of the odd
oval-shaped hats worn by men In the East LII
/ dies from time immemorial.

MANAGEMENT OF CATrLE.-A Massachu.

MANAGEMENT OF CATTLE.-A Massachu-
sets farmer says on this subject:
"My cattle like my company. When in the
pasture they will follow me until leave the
lot; and as a general rule they come up to the
barn-yard every night about sunset and in their
way call for lock of hay. Though give them
all they want they take but a few mouthfuls,
which satisfies them, and l am confident it
does them good deal of good. 1t keeps theii
bowels regular and they thrive well and are
happy.
They do much better than they did when
changed pastures once a week, for now they
| have a change of food every day instead of once
| a week. Cattle need kindness and they pay
well for it. l can handle my steers and Others
as please. They will come up to me while
am milking and invite Inc to play with them
The tire think is not far distant when soil
ing cattle will be the most profitable where mos
of the farm can be cultivated. Provide small
lot for them to run in, feed green fodder, saw
all the manure, and our farms will grow richer.

WASHING TREES WITH LYE.-I have wasl.-
ed many trees with soft soap and water, half
and-half, and never saw any Injurious effects
arise from it but, on the contrary, trees so
washed could be picked out from others not
washed, by their healthy appearance and free
dom from moss and scale lice--I usually APP
ply it in early spring, ind also in the summer
after no moss or lies can be found on the trees

BURNING SrUMPs.-A "Reader" sent us O
plan by which he has cleared OFF greL many
large stumps very cheaply and easily. His way
is to bore a hole from the top of the stump IL
the bottom with two-inch auger. Another
hole Is bored from the cotton downwards Il
connect with the first hole. Fire is put into
the lower part of the stump, which is fed by the
draft of air drawn by the upright hole, and the
heart of the stump burns away, leaving mere
shell which is readily knocked to pieces. The
writer states that many stumps WHICH he
has thus burned by this method have had Q
! great portion of the large roots consumed fa
into the ground.

SALT AND ASHES FOR Cows.-A wise and
experienced stock raiser says:
''On turning my cows into pasture in the
Spring. provide several small tubs: and hay
ing fixed them firmly in the soil to prevent them
being overturned, put into each tub one quart
of salt and three quarts of sifted wood ashes
previously well mixed by stirring. The cow!
partake freely of this mixture. 1t prevents in
jury from the sudden change from dry to greer
food, and has, besides, most invigoratint
effect upon the general system. Some asser
that salt should be given only as often as once
a week, as its more frequent use would be in
furious. But when supplied in this way no ap
prehsnsion need be itertained."
