Revolutionary Scholars.

Rev. George Canning wrote an &C.
count of the school Of his youth, which
he attended just after the Revolution.
Girls and boys attended together tho
primary school, and sat on seats made
of round blocks of wood of various
heights, which were furnished by the
parents. Children bowed and kissed
the teachers hand on leaving the
room. The teaching Of spelling was
peculiar. IT was the last lesson Of the
day.
The master gave out long word,
say multiplication, with blow Of his
strap on the desk as a signal for all to
start together, and in chorus the whole
class spelled out the word in syllables.
The teachers ear was so trained and
acute that he at once detected any
misspelling. If this happened he de-
manded the name of the scholar who
made the mistake. If there was any
hesitancy or refusal in acknowledge
ment he kept the whole class until,
by repeated trials of long words, &C..
curacy was obtained. The roar of the
many voices of the large school, all
pitched in different keys, could be
heard on summer days for long dis
tance.-The Chautauquan.

The Care of New Seeding.

It requires time Us we'll as plenty of
grass seed to make a perfect sod
that shall cover the entire surface.
Whoever after the ground has once
been frozen in the fall, shall examine
the grass seeding Of the previous
spring, will be surprised to find how
little the soil is really covered. Be-
fore the freezing came the fresh leaves
of grass seemed to make almost q
perfect mat over the surface. But
under tho touch of frost the whole
plant appears to shrink to not more
than a quarter Of its original size.
This allows much freezing Of the sur,
face soil, md many Of the grass roots
are undoubtedly destroyed, as the soil
is alternately lifted by freezing and
falls back again whenever the hold Of
the frost has relaxed.
A mixture of clover and grass seed
helps to cover the surface much better
the figst winter than grass can posi-
bly, do alone. The clover will in sucl
case make spreading head that vii
cover most of the surface. g 1t, too
will show the pinching Of winters
freezing, but as the clover leaves ar
Drowned and fall ON tho soil the.
cover the grass roots with just th'
kind of fertilizing mulch that il
needed to make rapid growth whel
springtime comes. The clover viii
also start into growth quickly enough
to check the weeds that are pretty
sure to get the advantage when grass
seed is sown alone in weody soil.

Kettle Crane With Dumping Attachment.
This iron framework for suspend.

ing q kettle used for boiling food for
hogs and other stock upon the farm is
most convenient. The iron kettle rests
inyan iron ring, which is piveted to
tho side arms so that the kettle con be
readily tipped and its contents poured
out into pals. These arms could be
omitted by bringing the end support
nearer the kettle, and having the iron
ring pivoted to cross-piece secured
to these ends. This would be a more
stable arrangement but would not give
so free space for building the fire,
although this would not cause material
trouble. The principle involved will
be found very convenient, however
the ring, which may be made from an
old wagon tire, is supported.-New
England Homestead.

Huyins Cheap Fertilizers.

It is tho natural tendency OF farmers
when confronted with low prices OF
products to save themselves by the
purchase Of cheaper fertilizers, or by
dispensing with any bcughten fertaIlz-
or. But this is nearly always q mis-
take. The cost Of the fertilizer IS
only a small part Of the cost OF making
a crop. Labor is much moro ex-
pensive item, and if the soil be not
rich enough, much Of this labor will
be ineffective. AS for using poorer
grades of fertilizers, they cost as much
to apply them as the best. In fact,
the more expensive grades offertilizers
are usually in finer condition, and
con DO easily mado to cover large
surface and do more good to the first
crop. "--American Cultivator.

Beauty ia Utility.

Does it pay to cultivate flowers, Or
namental trees aud shrubs and make
the surroundings Of q farm home at
tractiye?
A farmer should plant only such
trees and shrubs as ore useful. AS
for flowers, OF what use are they?
We often hear the useful and orna-
mental contrasted as if they were the
antipodes Of comparison. Anything
that ministers to our physical needs is
useful. Anything that does not afford
food or shelter may be beautiful, but
if it is not essential to our existence it
is Of no particular use, so we are told.
What things are essential to our
existence? We find ourselves subject
to certain laws. We are hungry and
must eat, thirsty and must drink, cold
and must be warmed. We comply
with these laws and we exist. But lit
is not all of life to live" If it were,
we would be no better than the "beasts
that perish" We have higher ma.
ture that demands attention. We have
no more right to neglect or starve it
than we have to abuse our bodies.
Potatoes and cabbages ore excellent
things to have in the garden, but there
are more suitable plants for the front
yard. Let us plant trees for protec.
ton, shade and ornament. They will
serve also as homes for our friends,
the birds, who cheer US with their
merry songs while they guard our
orchards and gardens from injurious
insects.
Trees should be carefully selected
dnd planted so that they will not en-
tirely shut out the purifying, health
giving sunshine.
We occasionally see home fairly
buried in trees, SO that moisture col.
lects on the walls and q musty atmo'
sphere pervades the place. But the
owner who has planted and tenderly
watched the growth Of tho trees can
rarely be persuaded to remove even
one.'-
Groups OF trees ore fine for shade.
But let them be removed q space from
the house. Pines may be planted In
a circle, the lower limbs trimmed away
on the inside as tho trees grow, max
ing lovely summer house carpeted
and rooted with fragrant pine needles.
Hero one may swing in hammoch
aud enjoy o book after the days work
is done; or the children may spread
their lunch and "play house."
| Ornamental shrubs may be planted
where q tree would be out of place
They may screen m unsightly view
but they should not he scattered pro
miscuously about the yard. A we'll
kept lawn is always beautiful, but one
besprinkled with shrubs and flower
beds is not always. When laying out
flower beds in the spring, we mus
consider our time and strength as vel
as our love for flowers. We are tempt
ed to plant more in May than we cal
cultivate in July. Often bed of Gu
flowers in corner of the kitchen gar
den will afford more real satisfaction
than elaborate designs.
Trees, shrubs and flowers, if vel
chosen and tastefully arranged, in
crease our happiness by making hom
life more enjoyable, and are, there
fore, in the highest sense useful
