WATERING HORSES.

La regard to watering horses imme-
diateIy after a full feed OF grain, a
writer of the Stock Journal says
'sThe frs. effect of this is to largely
distend the stomach, and the result
may be as serious as if the material
were na,ticstsd grain and saliva. But
should this danger be avoided, matters
are not necessarily left in better
state The sudden and excessive in
fax OF water is likely to wash out much
Of the .-onlents Of the stomach into
the iniestines before the nItrogrLous
principles have beep digested and fer
mentation. extrication of gases, over
distensions, colics and inflammation re-
suit. Even this is not all. The ap-
l,lication of AL excess OF cold water on
the mucous membranes OF the
stomach and intestines causes yascu-
lar congestion and violent muscular
contractions, SO that all tend to diges-
tive disorders of a dangerous nature. !"
Here you have the result in nutshell,
and to avoid laundering a horse he
should never be watered, beyond a few
quarts, when heated. In fact, it is not
safe 10 give a horse any water when
much heated.-T B. Miner, Linden,

the teacher, possessed of ordinary gov

port from parents and directors in the
enforcement of school authority.
Very much of the disorganization oi
country schools in connection with the
government, results from the senseless
intermeddling of parents with the disci-
pline of the school room and the almost
invariable tendency of local directors, in
case of conflict, to side with the parent
against the teacher, in utter disregard of
justice and the interests of school gov
ernment.
We are disposed TO think it would be
greatly to the interest of government in
the country schools, if the local board of
directors was entirely abolished and the
employment, assignment and removal of
teachers and the sustaining of:lis author
ity were intrusted to the township board.
Such board would be far enough re-

FOOD FOR POULTRY.

Poultry raising and breeding is by no
means a matter OF hap hazard, as a
great many people are beginning to
find ont. We are glad to see such ar
ticles as one recently contained in the
American Cultivator, on a correct sys-
tenn of feeding for poultry, since they
go to show that the subject is receiving
careful study ct the hands Of those in
terested. The purposes served by
food, says the writer, are of several
distinct kinds-the maintenance Of an
imal heat. the growth of bone and
muscle, and the supply of fat. For
heat and respiration the food needs
starch, sugar gum. or oily or fatty sub
stances, for which purposes rice and
wheat take the lead in value, followed
by corn, buckwheat, barley, wheat
bran and potatoes. For supplying
the growth Of the body and in the pro-
ductioa OF eggs, fiesh-forning foods are
required, such as peas and beans, mid
dlings and oats. As bone making food
bran is best, next is barley, while oats,
wheat and beans have about the same
relative value. To fatten poultry rap
IDLY such food must be selected as con-
tains most fatty or oily matter. In
this respect corn stands at the head,
next oats, middIings, cows milk, wheat
and peas. Rice, potatoes and vegetables
have little or no fat. Animsl food is
frequently given, but when roaming
about at large, fowls get sufficient
supply in the insects and worms they
so naturally devour.
Poultry needs a constant supply of
vegetable food when confined in coops, |
such as potatoes, turnips or cabbages, |
and when cooked and mixed with |
neal, the effect is still better. Noih-
ing is 80 desirable as a constant supply
IF pure, fresh water.
As ordinarily kept on the farm, fowls
re neglected and left to obtain their
,wn livelihood, while the farmer
laims there is no profit in hens, yet
.is same farmer would hardly adopt
he same shiftless course with his sheep
,r pigs CT cattle We know full well
IA the latter instance that plenty of
proper food is requisite to the profit
able production of mutton, pork, aud
beef, and why should not the same
'ule hold true regarding poultry2 tits
claimed by producers of the largest
experience, that no branch of produc-
lion pays better for thencapitai, time
and experience invested, than the
raising of moderate quantity of eggs
and poultry. The more care and at
tention is provided, the surer viii be
be the return. Imp o,ed breeds and
increased attention devoted to this de-
partment, point to a large future pro-
duction, and greater knowledge of
proper methods OF care and feeding.

FoR riddiDg lawns of unsightly weeds
such as plantains and dandelions, the
following is recommended by an ex-
perienced gardener: To the end of a
light wooden rod attach a small sponge
or, better, wind few thicknesses of
cloth around it, dip the sponge in oil
vitriol, and with it touch the heart of
the weed The oil Of vitriol may be
carried in a wide mouthed bottle at the

YoU wonder that about three-tourths
Of the teachers of our country are per
sons without any professional training
for their responsible calling? that our
normal schools, which furnish AL the
rest, cannot advance more than few
per cent of their pupils to the goal of
their course, because the pupils enter
them with too low a standard Of devel-
opment? that on an average, q teacher
serves no longer than three or four
years, and then goes over TO some other,
more attractive vocation? that. perhaps,
not one percent Of common school teach
ers are really lifelong, or at least, pro-
fessional, educators? and that, even of
these, numbers turn out book agents,
lawyers, professors in colleges, or writ
ers? How can you wonder at all this?
The sum which your 80 normal schools
cost are nearly all thrown away-be-
cause you won't have it that teaching be
a profession, and you won't have that,
because you insist on the school being
governed by laymen. You deprecate the
great expenses in the wake Of well sala
ried teachers positions? Do you, indeed,
not know that what you save in this
respect, must be doubly spent on jails,
penetentiaries, almshouses. court, police,
and politicians? But you know that
Do you not perceive that whatever is
good and great in American public
schools has been the result of wise
moderation on the parts of boards of
education, school trustees, and laymen
school officials in general2 Wherever,
especially in our large cities, the lay
men school rulers withheld their COM
mand in favor of some experienced
professional superintendent, and con-
fined themselves to watching the effects
of their administration, and wherever
the people continued in school Offices
for the greatest length of time such
wise school boards and tried professional
men-there, and there only, you will
find the better and the best of our schools.
though We must say the very best of
them could be far better yet, ifall the
teachers had an influence, collective,
governing, and legislating influence, and
profitable position. Does not this
show what course the American people
should follow with regard to public edu-
cation?

THE POOR FARMER
RY MHs. W. BRAlNAkD-


Too poor to take paper,
Too poor to join the Grange!
So when the price was raising,
He did not know the change,
And sold his wheat for dollar
Twas worth q quarter more,
And now the man Is poorer
Then he had been before.
His neighbor Lookout told him,
This side the market town,
He should have come in sooner,
While groceries were down.
But then perhaps It's even,
Since corn is on the rise,
And what you gain by waiting,
VIII pay for your supplies
Corn rising? why, sold it!
The chap who bought my wheat,
Said, this year corn was plenty,
But mine was hard TO beat,
And so he paid three shillings-
What everywhere It's four?
The difference would give
A hundred dollars more"
He drew the reins and started,
With spirits sadly down,
And did heap Of thinking,
Before he reached the town.
The upshot of the matter
You easily might guess,
This year he takes two papers,
And could not do with less.
