THE EVENING SCHOOLS.

A Month Late In Opening-some Changes
in Management
The evening schools of the city opens
Monday. the 2lst inst, and the Common
Council last Monday made an appropri-
alton for their maintenance. The appro-
priation is $4,000, the same rs that OF
last winter, and the length of term last
winter was only IL weeks, SO 1T is certain
that this winter term VIII be only the
same number of weeks. The opening OF
this school term was postponed about u
month at first on account OF the cam
paign, and il was then the intention TO
BEGIN the school term Nov. Ia, but as the
Common Council had not made the neces-
sary appropriation, the opening was post
poned another week.
The changes in the school form since
last winter are rs follows:1 The new
school house on Charles street takes the
place of Hedley's block at Randall square
as school quarters; the school which was
formerly on Cranston street is now To-
Gated in the new school house on Potter S
avenue: the school which was in the little
cnurch at Manton is now in the school
building.
There are two advance schools ms in the
past winter, at Bridgham and Candace
street schools. The 204 teachers were APP
pointed. OF whom fifteen are principals.
This shows u slight decrease from the
number employed last year. OF the num-
Der of teachers appointed tweuty-nine are
graduates of the Providence high school,
siXty-four are graduates of grammar
schools of the city. sixty-six have taught
three years or more in the evening schools
of the city and forty five passed the exam-
ination required by the committee oh
evening scaools. These are the four
classes into which the persons or the APP
proved list are divided.
There has been some changes in the
location OF the teachers, many going to
teach in new schools, To them, this win
ter. The most important changes are
those which effect the principals. William
+. Kelley will take charge of Charles
street schoo! in place of John 4. Byrne,
Stafford G.. Edwards assumes control or
Harrison street school, vice John q. Fry
er resigned At the Mauton school last
winter there were two principals at differ
ent times, Frederick w. Wing and Will
lam III. Harrington, while James f.
Rogers will have charge this term; j. Il,
Byrne has been transferred from Charles
street to Meeting street school which
James +. Williams controlled last term
at the Orms street schoo. Russell III
Birge succeeds Neil Andrews; at the Pot
ter's avenue school which was the Grams
ton street school last winter, William j.
Reynolds succeeds Frank G.. Lewis as
principal; Phillip H. Clark will manage
the Public street school which was last
winter in charge Of Arthur ". Leonard
The principals of the other schools are th'
same as last year.
There will be no vacation this year dur
ing the holidays as the term is so late IL

PEAs AS SHEEP FOOD.

There Is no better sheep food than
peas, and Us about as many peas can
be grown on an acre, If mixed so as
to be half oats-as when grown alone,
and as the oats will, in ordinary
years, hold the peas up SO they can
be cut with O mower, IL Is better to
mix them in the proportion of two
bushels of the small Canada field pea
to one bushel of oats. choosing a
kind of oats with pretty stiff straw,
The best way to prepare the ground
and sow the peas is to use good land.
Corn stubble, IL one has it, Is best,
but if sod ground is used have it fall
plowed, or plowed as early in spring
as possible. and, as soon as tits in good
working order harrow lightly and sow
two bushels of peas per acre; inn
media,ely plow from four to six inches,
so as to cover the peas ot least four
inches deep. Wait week and SOW
one bushel per acre of oats, and give
thorough narrowing. This will leave
the peas deep in the soil and the oats
near the surface, just as they should
be; it will not injure the peas, will
kill all weeds that have started and
will give each an even send-off to in.
sure the largest yield. 1t is good
plan to roll the ground after the oats
are narrowed, as it will leave it
smoother for the harvcsting:y Soon
after the peas get beyond the eating
stage, and while still green enough so
that Tie pods will dry down holding
peas, cut the crop with mower, and
when cured, so they will not mold, but
not enough so as to lose the leaves,
put them into cocks Of 200 or 500
pounds, and after q week Of good
curing weather they can bc simply
aired out and put into mows; or they
can be put into good-slzed stacks
without cooking, but the stacks should
be topped, or capped, with any cheap
hay or swamp grass, put ON when NOS
moro than half cured; otherwise, they
will wet half through, and much will
be spoiled. Thi, crop may DO threshed
with machine, but for sheep feeding
it will be better to feed without, as
the sheep will eat everything clean /;
and the farmer can feed according to
his judgment, and the laulm will not
be brokcn.-[ Agricultu-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Ducks and turkeys should rarely be
turned out until they are at least two
weeks old.
If duck eggs are set under the hens
from this time on II will be best to
make the nest on the ground.
Whenever there Is a considerable
number Of young chickens it will pay
to provide separate place for them
to roost.
As the weather gets warmer lice
will begin to be more troublesome.
Unless kept down the chickens will
not make thrifty growth.
II shows the ignorance of honey
buyers that they prefer the white
comb to the darker. but honey sellers
have to humor their ignorance.
Nobody yet seem, to have found
out exactly the right temperature for

HOW A GOOD COW LOOKS.

"A writer in Hoard's Dairyman de-
scribes a good butter COW as follows:
She Is Of a medium size, has long
face, broad muzzle and strong Jaws, a
slim, even neck, thin, sloping shoulders.
large girth and immense abdomen.
She has sharp, high backbone, thin
hams, giving room for her large I'D
der, which runs well forward as we'll
as back. She Is II voracious eater,
gives a good quantity of rich milk,
which never makes less than seven
pounds of butter to the 100, and
sometimes considerably more. She
has general loose. relaxed and bopy
appearance. She never had, and do
not believe ever will have, an ounce of
surplus flesh on her. She is very sensi-
tive to cold, cannot bear rough treat
mento exposure of storms or inclem.
ent weather. Sho is SO far from being
hardy enough to withstand the fare
that some farmers give their cows that
she would probably die OH it, while the
scrub COW would seem to do fairly
well. But she has got the kind of
hardness that will enable her with
right feeding and care to produce
three pounds of butter per day. That
is the kind Of hardness that pays.
1t may interest our readers to note
the difference as shown by modern
as against an ancient writer on this
subject. Columella, Roman author,
who lived several centuries before the
Christian era, describes good milch
COW in the following way:-"A tall
make, long. with very large barrel,
very broad head, oyes black and open,
horns graceful, smooth and black,
ears heavy, jaws straight, dowlap and
tail very large. hoofs and legs moder-
ate."
