Teaching Mathematics.

A COLLEGE student, while a good
scholar in other branches, made sad
failures in the mathematical studies.
He said it was impossible to learn these,
except by committing everything to
memory. After graduating from col
lege, he became o teacher in large
academy, and his classmates heard
from time to time of his popularity and
success as an instructor. 1t puzzled
them little to know how an instructor
could teach algebra, geometry and 9th.
er studies which he did not understand
himself.
When one of them met him, after sew
eral years. and called him to account
he said, laughing, that Yankee mother
wit never failed to get around an oh
stacle.
On taking his school, he stated to thu
scholars that mathematics was tn.
most important of studies, but failed o
profit unless the scholar did his worl
without aid. He wished, therefore, t.
state in advance, that while freely Civ
ing help in all other studies, he SHOULD
give none in mathematics. The expert
ment, he said, was brilliant success,
and his school was noted for thorough
ness in mathematics. He added, how
ever, that, dissatisfied with his ruse, b,
had, untler a stern sense of duty, grad
ually acquired some facility himself il
this line of study. YOUTHS Companion

Cultivation Of CrOps.

The cultivation of crops is essential
for many reasons. The principal one,
however, as generally understood, is
for the purpose of killing weeds. This,
however, while of great Importance, is
at the same time not more essential
than that the surface of the soil be kept
thoroughly friable and in a well-pulver-
lied state.
It is this thoroughly friable condition
that enables the soil to absorb heat, and
retain it with the least loss. II also al
lows free percolation of water, and if
the subsoil be not impervious, this does
not render the soil cold. It is evapora-
ton by the surface from inert water
below that keeps soil cold. A soil
sodden from constant moisture cannot
be warmed by the rays of the sun; in
fact, such soil, if shaded, retains its
heat better than when not shaded, for
one reason, from the fact that evapora-
ton is neither so constant nor 80 strong.
The principal object, therefore, in
the cultivation of what are usually de-
nominated hoed crops, is to so keep the
soil stirred 90 to render it always loose,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1878-06-06

friable and mellow, that the air heated
by the rays of the sun may thoroughly
permeate it. In planting, some break
ing OF the roots after the plants have
obtained vigor, is not injurious, since
the cut surfaces Immediately throw out
additional feeding-roots: nevertheless,
this plan of cultivation is one not to be
commended, since cultivation should
not be at a depth to reach the roots of
the crop to any considerable extent.
The principal value in cultivation is
while yet the plants are young. So far
as corn is concerned, light, sharp har-
row is the best implement until the crop
is strong enough 50 that the plants will
bear the cultivator. Many persons will
not use the harrow, for fear of tearing
out the corn. If the soil is dry enough
to work, and not more than ordinarily
full of trash, little or no damage will
be done, but the whole ground will be
stirred and the weeds, just appearing
above-ground, will be eradicated, so
that the crop may easily be thereafter
kept ahead of the weeds.
In the cultivation of garden crops, or
all that class of plants of very delicate
growth while young, the cultivation
must of necessity be light next the
plants. 10 attain this an implement
must be used that will not cast earth,
but simply move it. In this we have
been most successful with an imple-
mcnt, with thin cutting edge running
vertically next to the plants, and the
foot or horizontal side Of which simply
scariiies the soil; that is, lifts a slice
and drops it Immediately behind, in a
more or less pulverizcd state. A num-
Der of hand implements are now made
that do this nicely, and which with care
may be run within an eighth of an inch
of the plants. Later, we have adopted
the plan of using small plows, very
long in the point and land side, to
throw the earth toward the middle of
the row. AS it passes from between
the plows, a winged narrow shovel
catches the earth and spreads it
smoothly back. In this way, crop,
where the rows are straight and of
uniform width, one with the other, may
be cultivated in the most perfect man
ner, and root crop may be attained
at Il cost that will surprise those who
have worked under the hoe and hand
wedding system.-Prairie Farmer.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

UNBUCKLE harness before cleaning
and oiling it.
NEVER, under any circumstances,
leave your milk-strainer at the barn
over night.
DO NOT put a mortgage ON the farm
unless you are sure the soil is strong
enough to raise it.
The Virginia c1eeper requires rich,
moist soil. It will grow without these,
but not 50 luxuriantly.
WARM stabling saves hay, grain and
flesh of animals. 1t is the difference
between profit and loss.
IT is an indispensable duty we owe
to ourselves and to our posteritv to
beautify, adorn and make attractive the
farm.
DISSOLVE two pounds alum in three
quarts of water. Apply with q brush
while hot to every crevice where vermin
harbOr.
THOSE who raise smilax need not bo
backward in cutting its vines when
needed for ornament. The more it is
cut the more it will grow.-Iova State
Register.
Mrs. DAVIDSON says the most salts
factory house plants are ivies, Gala lily,
geraniums, roses, smilax, fuschias, be-
gonias, carnations, heliOtropes and foil
age plants.
VERY good and timely advice this,
from the Rural World of St. Louis:
"D0n't he afraid to cultivate the corn
too well or too much. If you want big
crops cultivate it often. If you want
poor crops give the corn ground a lick
and a promise and you will be success

MUTTON HAsH.-Chop the lean bits
of cold mutton; put in a spider with a
little butter, and brown; have ready as
much potato as meat, chopped fine,
and put in with the mutton, stirring
the whole with a knife so that it does
not stick to the pan and gets thorough
ly mixed.
BAKED HAsH.-Takc any kind OF
cold meat and chop it very fine; add to
it a small onion and half can of to-
matoes; season with pepper and salt
and two beaten eggs; put in yellow
nappy; cover with plate and bake an
hour. Remove the plate and let il
brown handsomely; then turn it out on
platter
RUNAWAY CAKE.-One-half cup OF
sugar, one cup of milk, two eggs, one
spoonful of butter, one teaspoonful OF
soda and two of cream of tartar, flour
to make stiff batter. This is a good
tea-cake, plain or with berries stirred
in for the summer season or with cur.
rants for the winter. Being plain, it is
only good when freshly baked.
Young trees should have the soil
kept clean and mellow among them,
and especially if set this spring, should
have a mulch before dry weather sets
in. A tree properly planted rarely
needs stakes, but if any are disposed to
grow crooked, it is best to remedy this
while they are young, and stake them.
-Lowa Register.
LEMON BUTTER.-Melt ono pound of
sugar and half a pound of butter to-
gether, and when this begins to boil
stir into it five beaten eggs and the
juice of five lemons; add the eggs very
slowly, removing the mixture from the
fire for that purpose, and beating il
constantly with an egg-whisk or fork;
return again to the fire and let it boil
up for minute, stirring all the time.
