the county from $50 to $50 each year.

fowls should all be in comfortable

is very demOralizing and exceedingly
difficult to break. For this reason it is
always best to make the nests away
from the light, in fact arrange them so
that they will be quite dark. The diet
should be varied as much as possible.
We have found it a good plan to feed
as soon after daylight as possible, soft
food made of cooked vegetables, tur-
niDs or potatoes, mashed skins and
all, to which should be added corn
meal and the best wheat bran, and
sufficient scalding water should be
thoroughly stirred through the mess
to have it mix to a crumbly consis.

into balls without much adhering to

two or three times week in place of
the meal and bran to good advantage.
Al noon utilize the table crops, pound

the hen-hOuse, which should be kept
for the purpose ; also give the fowls

are well creased inside, the ice that

On Friday morning last, the Teach
ers' Institute called by the Examiner.
met in the Oakland Public School
building, with the following teachers
present, viz: Misses l.. A. Brown,
StaInaker, Keller. Jennie Mean
drews. B. G. McAndrews. M. M.

man, and Messrs. It. K. Brown,

ton, Lee, P. F. Michaels, F. G. Mich
aPls, DuckwOrth, Enlow, White,
Hus.o DeIawder and Friend. The
meeting was organized by the election
of Mr.. Ludwig President, ex-officio,
and Mr.. T. X. Brown Secretary.
Upon suggestion of the President,
the morning session WIS devoted to
the discussion of various questions
by the members of the Institute.
"Rt aiding" was the first subject con-
sidered Mr.. Ephraim Lee opening
the question. Various methods were
advanced and illustrated by different
teachers. The subject of Bleaching
Grammar" was next taken up and
the discussion opened by Mr.. G. w.
Huts0n. In his experience pupils
show dislike to pursue this study,
and rs a substitute he organizes Tar
g,tdqe classes, drilling his scholars in
distinguishing parts Of speech. and
in the construction of sentences. This
gentleman gave some apt illustra-
lions, and exhibited in most strik-
ing manner the great progress sch0l'
airs can make by pursuing this method
OF course it allows the introduction OF
false Syntax, as urged by Mr.. II. X.
Brown, but it does away with the
imposition of a body of obsolete and
wornout grammatical rules pom the
pupils mind, and renders the study
attractive and interesting.
Upon re-aSSemhllng at II P. M. re.
ports of teachers were received, and
they gave an insight into the won k
ing and progress of our schools, such
~ can only he obtained by Il personal
Inspection. Various other topics W, re
considered, and aftert xtending vote
at thanks to the President, the
Institute adjourned. Besides those
above mentioned the following teach
ers took part in the debates upon
questions brought up: Miss L. A.
Brown, Messrs. f. J. Finger, Geo.
II. Porter and G. +. Duck worth.
The County Institute will convene
at the expiration of the present scho-
lastic year, in Oak land, and remain in
session several days.
