The annual rental of pews will occur at the Congregational church on Mon- day, April l, at 8 o'clock in the evening James Reid who lives on Beaver street is one of the most enthusiastic pig breed CTS in the country. Last fall he wanted Co break piece of old pasture ground tc 1 re-seed, he conceived in his brain the idea of turning his sows and pigs into l the field and let them do the job. It was a success and well done and the field is 1 in fine order to barrow down this spring Mir Reid tells the story about his count ing his pigs every night to see that they were all there. One night 6 pig was | missing. He hunted the grouud over and l at last discovered, out among the bogs, 6 pigs tail wiggling. He grabbed the tail and pulled out the missing pig, which had nearly rutted itself out of sight to get the tip end of skunk's cabbage root. This is no joke. It was just as told to ! the writer, and your correspondent be lieves James is truthful man. Judd Brothers are having excellent luck with their herd of Red Rolled heif. CTS. They are always pleasant to handle and good butter makers and are well adapted to woodland and swamp pastures being very little annoyed by flies on ac- count of their coat of rather long hair. Their thoroughbred bull, Vigor, has been crossed with about 50 horned cows which have in every case hrougtt calf that grew and proved to be a hornless animal.

This shows an average of sos bushels per acre per year for II consecutive years cn Stockbridge exclusively. Mr Donaldson adds that years of experience in raising onions and other crops either with stable manure or fertilizer have thoroughly convinced him that liberal amount of plant food (such as is sup piled in order to obtain satisfactory re- suits, half fed crops being unprofitable. In the fall of 1891 the piece or which the onions had been grown was seeded to grass without any other dressing, and the crop the next year, owing to rust, was quite light; but for the past two years, namely, 1893 and 1894, the piece has produced two very heavy crops each year, of excellent quality, without ad $
 litional dressing. MT Donaldson,s ex- pertinent, therefore, would go 60 show

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEE
 The law relating to schools makes it the duty of the Board of School Visitors GO examine all persons desiring to teach in the public schools; and to give certificates to those with whose moral character and ability to teach they are satisfied, if found qualified to teach read ing, writing, arithmetic and grammar, thoroughly, and the rudiments of geography and history" etc.
 The qualifications of teachers are sum- med up, then, in these three requirements {: moral character, ability to teach, and knowledge of certain subjects to be taught.
 Now, education in the proper sense of the term means the developement of the train and discipline and furnish the the growing youth for the noblest man. hood land womanhood. For,
 "'Tis education forms the common mind. The way the twig is bent the trees inclined.',
 The real work of the teacher is not so much in the use of the machinery of the schools as in the power of direct person al influence. The teacher, in the nature of the case, becomes to the pupil the | ideal, the model and the sculptor; and l therefore to great extent the master of Gue Cuilu utstlHy. 1he DOTal cnarac' ] ter of the teacher is a consideration o1 the first and highest importance. There could scarcely be a greater wrong tc childhood and youth than to expose then to the subtle and dominant influences oi low bred and unprincipled teachers.
 In school document No. the State Board sets forth the following standard of character, to be sought in the teacher l "A high morals character is certainly ab | solutely essential. Beside this and beyond this there are elements of character ot mighty value: sincerity of purpose, which clarifie: | the mind and gives decision and precision | enabling one to deal with the many problem, in thought and action which constantly pre- | sent themselves, so that it shall be obvious 1 that before all things the teacher is a trutl | lover; the lofty motives, which ennoble eftor and which raise the teacher far above the mean in action and the petty in study; tn, spirit, which finds satisfaction in giving one'' best and which, in care for others and in Iht desire to help, forgets self, and is ready t( sacrifice convenience, and forego persona l ease; an inward grace and excellence, whicl show themselves unconsciously in word anC | mauner,-such traits of character will i'm press type and style of high manhood"
