Supporting Herself.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has vigo-
rous paper with the above title, on
the subject of self-supporting girls, in
the May ST. NICHOLAS. Her senti-
ments on the topic are forcibly shown
by the following extract:
Girls, first make up your minds
that you will be something! All the
rest Will follow. What you shall be
comes more easily and clearly in due
time.
"a girl of thirteen can not decide.
with any discretion or any assurance.
whether she will be a sculptor or a
wash-woman, farmer or a poet; but
she can decide distinctly whether it Is
her wish or her duty, after leaving
school or college, to remain depend
ent upon her parents or to fit herself
for a self-providing life.
''The education by which you mean
to get your bread and butter, your
gloves and bonnets, is very differ
ent affair from that which you take

Teaching to See.

One of the best means of prevent
ing the too often disastrous desire of
young people ia the country to join
the crowds of the town is to lead them
to appreciate the far greater and more
satisfying beauty of nature. Every
teacher should, each day of the pres
ent spring time, give the pupils views
into the mysteries of life all about
them. Put some of the larger seeds
to terminate upon wet moss or cotton
batting or washed sand Ito avoid the
CLEANLINESS of clay or Ioam) Dissect
some as they advance. and let others
go on to unfold first their cotyledons
and then their leaves.
OF 400 children examined in the
Boston schools, large proportion had
never even seen the commonest plants
in growth, or similar natural objects.
Only is per cent of them knew any
thing about a cow. This proves that in
the cities, more than anywhere else,
there is need of providing for instruc-
ton in something besides books-in
actual, visible and palpable things
that live and grow, and on the culture
Of which our lives depend.
An interesting work for the keen
eyes of the young people of the farm
er's family is to spread on white dish
or paper samples of the clover and
grass seeds TO be sown, and examine
them with magniier to detect seeds
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1884-05-22

upon yourself as an ornament and an
interval in life. The chemical expert
ment which you may some day have
to explain to pupils of your own is
quite another thing from the lesson
that you may never think of again.
The practice in bookkeeping, which
may some time regulate your deal
ings with live, fesh-and- blood custo-
mers, becomes as interesting as a new
story. The dull old rules for infec-
ton and enunciation fairly turn into
poetry, if you hope to find yourself a
public reader some coming day. And
the very sawdust of the French or
Latin grammar becomes ashes
of roses to the stout little
fancy that dreams of brave work
toIling masses should be better edu-
Gated. This will be accomplished
when they are made to feel that the
schooIs-higher departments as well
as lower-are for them.
Let the members of this convention
on all suitable occasions earnestly re-
quest of teachers and school officers
that few of the more simple and
practical facts in agricultural science
be taught in the school room. Let our
agricultural press urge this, and the
day is not far distant when the schools
of this agricultural State will proudly
number many intelligent farmers
among their graduates. One year at
least would be added to the school life
of the next generation of farmers.
Then would farmers conventions be
more frequently held-agricultural
books and papers more generally read
farms you'd be better titled, the
stock better bred and better cared for
and thousands of dollars added to the
material wealth of the State.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1884-05-22
Plants in the Field.

Now that the season of transplant
ing is approaching a word or two with
reference to matter of considerable
moment will not be out of place.
Numbers of planters neglect to re-
place plants which are destroyed by
insects or die, or which are stunned
in growth, and others will replace
them, but at too late day and use
inferior plants No doubt the failure
to replace is often due to the scarcity
of plants, and for this reason great
care should be taken to have an album
dance of plants; as soon as one is des-
troyed or willis, replace it with a good
strong healthy plant at the first oppor-
tunity offered
By this means your tobacco will
mature uniformly, and will get the
best results possible out of each acre.
If you fail to replace plants, you will
find, when you come to weigh your
tobacco, your yield is far below what
you expected and what your land
missing, at short intervals, will
materially reduce the yield per
acre If you have nothing but weak,
stunted plants, the refuse of our plant
beds, with which to fill up the frequen
voids, ten chances to one your extra
care will be thrown away, as the
plants may not mature before frosts
occur, and, at best, yield but very
inferior leaf, which will detract CON
siderably from the intrinsic valus Of
the balance of your crop.
Planters should therefore bear in
that to insure good results on an album
dance of healthy plants must Grst be
grown, and then all stunted or diseas-
ed plants or voids must be filled up
and replaced with promptness by the
healthiest plants it is possible to secure.
Besides your land should be free from
all insect germs. DrOughts, and VIC
lent storms cause destruction, but
they are not to be dreaded any more
than the pestiferous fly or worm,
which, if unchecked in their march,
would inflict greater injury in one
day to a ctop than would result from
ten days of drought or the most VIC
lent storm. Western Tobacco Jour
nal, Cincinnati.
