Regularity in all departments con
nected with the care and management
of poultry is absolutely necessary to
insure success when other things are
favorable, and inno one thing is it more
true than in watering regularly. While
most Of our poultry, whether thor
oughbred and reared In small flocks
with extra care, or whether they be
the large and well-mixed fiocks to be
found on the places of our thrifty and
well-to-do farmers, are generously sup
piled with food, scarcely any atten-
tion is paid to supplying them with
pure fresh water daily, in winter
as we'll as summer. All live stock
requires water each day, and it is not
only cruel, but it is Improbable to de-
prive them of it. Many q farmers
flock has to wait during the winterfor
the rains and SHOWS to get a drink,
while other fiocks resort to the pools
OF water in and around the
barnyard, because their owners are
too careless and Indifferent as to their
actual wants and necessities. If con-
fined during the warm weather, by all
means do not neglect them in this re-
spect, for nothing can be more cruel.
II q breeder only makes it q part Of the
regular routine Of management, this
watering the fowls each day, it will be
found a very light task indeed, while

The trotters IN their annual circuit
have reached Rochester, accompanied
by their usual followers, who expect
to win money either by betting on the
races, by operating gambling ma
chimes, or in various other ways not
justified by the accepted code OF NOR
ais, OF conducive to the welfare OF So
ciety.
Wherever groups of young men
gathered you could hear them discuss
ing the merits of the different horses,
the probabilities of the varios trots
to come of, and Boosting of the win
nings in the pools. Pools were sold in
n umerous drinking places, and the
flushed and excited faces of young
men, passing in and out, did not
speak well for their influences upon
them. 1t is perfectly safe to say that
a great deal of valuable time was
wasted in Rochester upon the trots,
and that they did not contribute in
any great degree to the intellectual or
moral elevation OF our citizens.
1t is said by apologists for the trot-
ting and race courses, that they are
necessary to stimulate the breeding of
thoroughbred, fast horses. But what
valuable end is promoted by breeding
such horses as contend for prizes on
the trotting course? Are they the
kind OF horses required for service by
farmers, or any other class of citizens
except sporting men, a class, we sub
NIT, that does not contribute muchto
the worlds greatness.
IN breeding trotters, all important
qualities save feetness are bred out.
A great trotter is worth nothing for
work or for service on the road. They
have not the strength and endurance
TO travel great distances daily, draw
ing a load behind them. Before a
skeleton gig, on a spart OF a few miles,
they can get over the ground with the
speed OF q hare or o. greyhound, but
that is ell. What the farmer or mer-
chant or professional man wants is a
good, strong, fleet carriage horse, with
great powers of endurance, we'll built
upon models of symmetry and
DC@uIy. Lie LIObLcI 10 the gamblers q.
the Jockeys horse, in which the
great mass Of mankind have but
little interest. We do not want
horses travelling our streets and parks
and highways at the rate OF a mile in
2:15 or or 2:4O, oreven three minutes.
endangering the lives OF citizens. but
horses that can strike a qaitpf ten
miles an hour and keep it up for sever
al successive hours, with our families
in q carriage behind them, without APP
pearing exhausted; such horses are ap-
preciated by all Classes. Such driving
does not endanger the lives OF those
we meet. or those we pass, while it af-
lords much innocent enjoyment.
TO breed such horses requires care
ful selection, persevered in for man
years, OF horses possessing acombina-
ton OF many excellent qualities, and
such horses will sell for prices that
will well compensate the scientific
breeder. Let US oil join in
ing the breeding Of such horses, while
We discourage and condemn the breed
ing Of the long, lank, crooked, ugly
trotter.

lf the teacher will mir his room frc-

Restless.

At what time during the daily session
Of your school do YOU find your pupils
,aost restless? Our experience has
been that they are most restless imme.
d;ately after recess. They want to
brush their coats, clear their throats,
wipe the perspiration from their faces
and do many other little things that
seem almost unavoidable, and yet some
what disturb the teacher. In other
words, when a boy has given himself up
fully to play for an hour. it takes sever
al minutes for reaction to take place
sufficiently for him to settle down to
hard study. Would it not be we'll for
some exercise of general interest to be
introduced at that particular period ?
In two schools we know Of, ten or fif-
teen minutes, Immediately after recess
are given to singing. Capital idea that,
we think.. Children like to sing. 1t
auiets their nerves. ealms their bouyant
spirits, snd:preparss them for the work
before them. If the teacher cannot
sing himself, let another exercise take
the place Of the music let ten min
utes be devoted to mutual criticisms.
Let any grammatical error or words
misused on the playground be reported
and corrected. Let the error and cor
rection be written on the black board. if
You have a board to spare for that pur-
pose, and let them remain until the close
Of the evening session. While the child
is settling himself down to work you
may >be bsneRtting him in some way.
Take care Of the moments.-Iedcher's
Column IN tbs anderson Intelligent

1--WE ara in full sympathy with the
above. and earnestly recommend its
consideration to teachers. After a pu-
pill has boon taking a vigorous exercise
during the noon recess, he is entirely
unfit to do some of his school duties
we'll. One part of his work for which
he is peculiarly i'll prepared is the daily
exercise in p%enmanship. We all know
how nervous ono becomes after taking
vigorous exercise. and it is plain to see
that the effort to execute . neat letter
under such circumstances will prove
abortive. A pupil should attend to this
duty before recess, when he is at ease.
Again, boys have cleaner hands before
than after recess, unless they are re-
auired to wash them.
If you do not find it practicable to
have an exercise in singing, why her
you may call your pupils into the
school, room and require them to sit
down and join with you in social con-
yersstion. This requirement will hot
be found necessary more than once.
Pupils cannot help loving their teacher,
if he shows them any attention and
the teacher has an immense power in
bis favor when he wins the love of his
pupils.
Let this be . daily exercise, consum-
ing a few minutes in preparing for work.
This will afford you full opportunities
to indicate politeness and refinement and
you may learn much Of the nature of
your pupils. Try it, and let us known

Chemist and Fertilizers.

The following letter Of Professor C.
U. Shepard, in answer to inquiries ad-
dressed to him by a gentleman largely
interested in fertilizers, throws much
light on the subject of the chemical anal
ysis, Of fertilizers now attracting so much
attention !:
LABORATORY FOR ANALYTICAL CHEM1s-l
TRY SO MEETING STREET,
CHARLESTON, $. G. February 26.
Dear Sir To your questions Of this
date I would reply as follows:
First. SIS it in human power to mix
fertilizers either by hand or by machin-
cry, using either tho wet or dry pro-
cess, and produce goods that will be
uniform in composition as to every
ounce, or such quantities as are taken
for the actual analytical operators ?"
answer, "Io."
Second. us it possible for the most
skillful chemist living to obtain the same
percentages throughout from one. two
or a dozen analyses Of samples drawn
even from a single ton Of the average
commercial fertilizers ?"
I answer, mo-"
Third. ''Is it not fair, just and hone4t
to Offset a deficiency in one constituent
by the excess in others. provided such
deficiency is reasonable in the nature Of
things and not beyond the range Of vari-
alton embraced in the preceding ques-
thong, Il. e., due allowance being &nade
for the inaccuracies Of manufacture,
sampling and analysis,) and the average
quality Of the fertilizer is up to the man
~ufacturer's guarantee ?"
] answer, "Yes."
Fourth, 'Does not the fact that where
the deficiency is slight and the CONNER
cial value Of the fertilizers is greater
than the guarantee prove that the man
ufacturer has given q more valuable ar
ticle than ne guaranteed Z"
] answer, EYES,"
Fifth. "Under the conditions given in
question fourth, and in view Of the &C.
knowledged DEFICIENCIES Of manufacture,
sampling and analysis, is there any proof
of a desire on the part of the manufac-
turerer to furnish an inferior article, or
any proof that any considerable guam
tity OF the article corresponded exactly
with the results Of the single analy-
sis. ~
I answer, NO"
Sixth. "Do you not think the interest
Of both manufacturer and farmer re-
Quires that the different States adopt
uniform laws relative to branding, anal
Uses and the sale Of fertilizers ? For at
present fertilizers branded in conformity
with the South Carolina law, if shipped
into Georgia, have been by some of the
county judges decided to be in viola-
ton Of the Georgia law precluding re.
covery for value at law on the part Of
the vendor. and the same as to Alabama,
each State requiring q different style Of
branding.'
answer, eyes"
To these questions and answers would
! add q few remarks Of my own. It
seems to me that the great difficulty at
present lies in the insuficiency Of funds
allowed in these South Atlantic States
to their official chemical laboratories.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA tempest in a tea
pot has been gol up over All innocent little
newspaper paragraph in the recent trip Of the
assistant Indian commissioner, General lp-
shaw. to New York. and the fact that during
his absence Miss Minnie Cook, the comrnis-
%sioner's stenographer, was acting Indian on
missioner. The New York World, which has
a spite against Cpshaw, growing out OF the
Pan-Elcctric investigation, contained a sar-
castle reflection upon him for neglect and
carelessness in leaving such an important bu-
rcau as the Indian office 20 the charge Of a
woman clerk. Aside from the ridiculousness
uf the World in prosecuting upshaw, and Up
shaw himself in replying to such an
absurd act, the funny thing is that
this Miss Cook Is the best Informed person
about the whole Indian Office. She has been
in office thirteen years; is "A woman OF remark
able balance of mind, and particularly notice
able executive ability. She Is 1t good short
hand writer, a good correspondent and has all
the details and the most minut~ information
pertaining To Indian matters at her command.
/ have been told by Indian agents, Indian In
s~pectors and by a great number OF Indian
missionaries Of one denomination and an
other that but for Miss Cook the constant
change Of commissioners, the inroads OF the
Indian ring and the yascilating policy OF the
government toward the Iniians, would long
ago have demoralized the whole Office. The
lady sits quietly at her desk and has for years
practically been Indian commissioner, direct
ing and advising upon AL matters Of the Office
with wonderful, discretion and success. Miss
COOKS example is an excellent argument for
