Oh. the good time-it is coming, when They'll

In boxes on the automatic plan:
And the candidates go drifting through the cam-

With an Office and a half for every man.
And the man who sought the office in the hus.

Will lind it running over him and firmly taking

And rushing him to glory and to gain.

And keep the canvass going by the rule:
Just cover all the country, and perhaps you'll

That the road to votes and Office is-a mule!

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.

To the Editor OF The Republican.
Allow me to thank you for the
opening of an educational column.
hope that the teachers and friends
of education will see that it is well
taken care of.

Supplementary Reading will pro-
yoke further discussion of the
subject. Reading as generally taught
in our schools is wrong. The old
time monotony still exists. Let us
break it up and teach it intelll.
gently. We claim that the child
who reads "The Sog caught the
rabbit" should read it with as
much expression as one who reads
selection from a lea ling author.
How is this to be done is the ques-
ton? We would say that it could
be easily done by the teacher know
ing how to question the pupil. A
natural individual expression can
be drawn out by the teacher.
Every school should have good
reading chart. Teach the word
first as a whole. II any of us are
using the unnatural method in
teaching the child. VIZ: the b C
method, let us quit it.
We will now devote the remainder
of this article in giving briefly our
views TO some methods in teaching
different branches.
First,-Spelling. | would teach
it from all lessons. The child
new y entered in school should be
required to write each new word
learned, and by frequent repetition
become accustomed TO make its cor
rect written form. If | used the
spelling-book it would be not before
the child is able to read we'll in the
Bird reader.
Language work should be used
through every grade. The first
wear given mainly to oral ex-
preston, after that written forms
gradually increasing from year to
wear, deyoting much time to repro
duction and composition work.
In my opinion technical gram
mar should have no place in our
schools, its place is in the high
schools. But some one will say,
we have no high school, what then.
DO not teach it. Let us have the
high school. Garrett county should
have one. Who will take the first
step toward establishing one?
In our next we will take up "the
use and abuse of textbooks"

To the Editor OF The Republican,
Since your columns are always
ready to promote the good of our

our country in general, | will try to
say word through your paper.
saw in your columns recently
where \. Y. z. gives us some valu-
able and interesting thoughts on
the subject of Supplementary Read
ing, and think every teacher, as
well as parents, school officers and
all who are interested in the future
welfare of our young people in
general, should become aroused to
the important subject of supple
mentary reading. have long since
come to the conclusion that unless
some steps are taken to interest the
chi!den of our public schools in the
important matter Of reading we are
about as far along that line as we
will go. For an example, call our
teachers before an audience to read
and I'm sorry to say there's but few
who can interest an audience as
they should; and why? Because
they never took an interest in read
ing. And why: Because they never
had anything of interest to read
when they should have had-yiz.:
When they were going to school,
and as result they don't try to in
terest their pupils.
Can't our school board give US
something interesting to read in
our schools, for ! think our series
of readers is poor thing to get an
interest among the children.
Let US hear from more teachers.

certain points, and with some breeds,
such as partridge Cochins, two yards
must be mated IN order to secure
show-birds, one yard Of birds being so
mated as to produce cockerels Of q
shade Of plumage, and another for
producing pullets Of the proper lacing.
Two yards are required also for Dark
Brahmas. Brown Leghorns and Wyan-;
dottes. So far as the farmer is con-
cerned, while he should be very care
ful IN selecting birds that are pure and
well bred, yet. it's not necessary for
him to breed from two yards that he
may have the males and females
of a certain color The breed
used should be pure, and as near the
standar. requirements as possible, for
the points OF excellency are, after all,
the only indications Of purity of blood,
and but for them there would be no
mode Of designating the breeds; but
the farmer should select the vigor
IN preference to perfection OF comb,
legs, wattles ETC., and he should buy
IN the fall instead of spring, aiming
to improve his flock and make it bet
ter each season.

Manure for Onions.

For 20 years an onion specialist IL
Fairview, Pa, has raised his onions
upon an acre ofground adjoining his
home; he placed but little faith in
commercial fertilizers, for the one year
previous to this one that he used
proved disastrous to his crop, and
seemed to fairly burn the onions to
death. But that year was an exces-
sively wet season, and the substance
was literally washed out of the
ground; but last spring when he plow-
ed his land again for onions he made
up his mind to give the fertilizers one
more trial, as the soil was becomin.
Impoverished by continued cropping.
He accordingly procured 400 pounds,
OF phosphate and spread it over the
ground before sowing the seed, and
the result was an enormous crop of
onions, equal in quality to 20 years
ago. Another man in an adjoining
town, plowed up a clovepfeld and
sowed it to onion sets, for his grain
and clover always lodged there and he
would lose g good share Of them, be
ing near a building and under high
state of cultiva ton. The crop was
harvested lately and yielded at the
rate of 400 bushels of sets to the acre.
This shows beginners that old ground
requires phosphate, and the new
ground clover sod. America Garden.

Sailing Stock.

The sailing OF stock is generally
practiced irregularly; done when the
farmer happens to think OF it, or .'feel
like it. Advanced stock-raisers urge
that salt be kept where the cattle can
obtain it at any time, instead of be-
ing doled out to them occasionally. In
the latter way they eat more than is
good for them. Too much salt given
to an animal that is unaccustomed to
it, is highly injurious. At the same
time it is difficult to hit upon meth
cd OF keeping salt at all times in reach
OF cattle. Some place it in large iron
kettles. set in pasture, and allow the
ANIMALS free access to it. In rainy
weather, the kettles, of course, are
liable to be filled with water, but the
salt water seems to satisfy the cattle
quite as well as dry salt, and it is sell
dom there is SO heavy q rain fall as
to waste the salt. Boxes or barrels
are SO arranged that the water does
not penetrate them, and left in shell
tered places, are used by some farm
ers. They should be at least partly
covered Rock salt is not so much
used as formerly, many believing that
the tongues OF the beasts are rendered
sore, in their efforts to scrape the salt
from the hard surface. Coarse salt,
bought by the barrel, probably costs
no more in the long run.

Where are the Burdens?

Wilson, of West Virginia, said to
Cleveland, in telling him that he had
been nominated:
With an overfowing Treasury
they, the people, have seen taxes in
creased on the necessaries of life and
the necessaries OF labor, because pri-
vate interest demanded it.
A free trader has q rather obscure
way OF expressing himself on these
topics, and he should have an inter-
probation accompanying, his remarks
in order to enable people to under
stand them Mr. Wilson cannot
mean III the above sentences that the
people are paying more taxes to the
Federal Government. or more for the
necessaries OF life and the necessaries
OF labor than before the Mckinley
bill law was passed. That is what he
seems to mean, but the people cannot
accept that Interpretation, because
they are unable to discover any item
OF increase in the taxes they pay to
the Federal Government. Neither
can they discover any necessary OF
life or OF labor for which they are
obliged to pay more than they did be-
fore the Mckinley law was enact
ed. When Mr.. Wilson says because
private interests demanded it, he re-
fers to the demand registered by the
people in the election of 1883, in re-
spouse to the promise OF the Republic
cans to do the things they have since
done. 1t is furthermore impossible
that Mr.. Wilson can mean, when he
says with an overhowing Treasury
taxes have been increased that in
creased revenues have been poured IN
to the Treasury because, as a, matter
OF tact, the revenues nave been de-
creased. This is in large part owing
to the removal of all the tariff on
certain staple necessities that cannot
be produced in this country. and that
therefore had to be imported anyhow,
and in part to the falling off OF the
imports OF articles, the supply Of
which is being produced in this coun-
try, under the operation OF the
Mckinley law.
BY pursuing this process of reason
ing we are enabled to arrive exactly
at what Mr. Wilson does not mean.
but probably the man does not move
above ground who could construe
what he does mean.
