SCHOOL MELANGE.

That teacher should have special
preparation along the line OF methods,
child study, science oteducatlon and In
everything that goes 20 make up the
knowledge OF the competent Instructor
OF youth Is an acknowledged truth In
this day OF free schools, and self-gov-
eminent. Fifty years ago this neces-
sity was not acknowledged us It Is to-
day. Then any one with a mere smat-
tering of the branches, especially II he
had failed in everything else he had
undertaken became the schoolmaster;
and he generally was master, as far as
welding the birch" was concerned. In
those days the possibilities OF our pub
lie. schools were not even dreamed Of.
The last half century has been one of
steady and rapid advance along the
line of popular education. All who have
made the matter study. see that the
perpetuity OF a government like ours
depends upon the intelligence OF the
masses; and that the public school is
the place In which the masses arc to
receive that instruction which Is to
make them intelligent Is now acknowl-
edged by all who have given the matter
any thought. This being the case. how
important that our schools be made
Just what they should be. This re-
quires three things at least, good off,
GERS, good teachers, and the hearty CO.
operation OF the parent with the teach
er. While all OF these are necessities,
the greatest factor is the teacher. A
poor teacher will ruin any. school and
defeat the great object for which 1t
was organized. but the live teacher can
make success even In the face OF the
fact that the officers may be negligent
OF duty. and that the parents may be
apathetic, for generally the earnest
teacher can bring bout the co-opera-
ton needed In both the other lines
mentioned. Then the question arises
are our school officers as careful as they
should In the selection OF teachers for
our schools? Without attempting to
answer this full we. will say that no
one ought to be employed as teacher
who Is not fully consecrated to. S,the
work. as well as having all the other
necessary. qualihcations-such. as. schol-
arshlp. aptness to impart instruction,
etc. :

WAS FlLEDlN CIRCUIT COURT

Yesterday, In the circuit court, In the
case OF Samuel NJ. Fox and George Fox,
executors OF the will OF George Fox, NJ.
D., deceased, and In their individual
right, vs.. b, Walker Peterson, admin
istrator OF the estate OF W. F. Peter
son, deceased. the South Penn OIL Com
pany. and the Eureka Pipe Line Com
pany, an amended bill OF complaint was
filed.
The case relates to the conduct OF B.
Walker Peterson us agent for the sale
OF a tract OF 1000 acres OF land In
Wetzel county. this state, owned b.
DR.. George Fox, OF Philadelphia. And
It appears generally by the bill that
Fox. the owner OF this land, gave VIII
liam F. Peterson, sr., general power
OF attorney November 20. 1887, for the
general purpose of caring for the land
which at that time aggregated $4,000
acres, and to pay the taxes on the
same and dispose OF any or all OF II to
the best interests OF all concerned. Az
ter the fathers death, W, r. Peterson,
jr., became the agent, but the distance
OF the plaintiff from tho land and their
inability to discover It's value made
them, perhaps, careless in calling for a
strict account, and SO the matters went
on without any settlement OF such ac-
counts until the year 1889, when Walker
Peterson became purchaser OF the resi-
due OF the land yet unsold. 1t Is alleged
that he became the purchaser OF the
remainder for a small consideration be-
cause of his knowledge OF the land, and
OF the fact that oil was being developed
{ In the immediate neighborhood OF the
land. and that he leased the same to
the South Penn OIL Company for oil de-
velopment. The plaintiff claims. OF
course, that these transactions were
fraudulent, and they ask that
these acts be set aside. This Is very
brief statement OF the situation upon
which the action Is based. The bill pro-
ceeds, among other things, to allege:

that the court will make ali order and
decree resembling and annulllnp the
said deed made by the plaintiffs as ex-
ecntors as aforesaid. to the said b.

declare the same to be void, and direct
that the same be delivered up for can

Cook House.

Where the clay of the land' is right
to accommodate such construction
as is shown in the cut, this grain, vege-
table and cook house will be found one
of the most convenient structures on
the farm. The end that is enclosed in
the side hill is used for the safe stor-
ing of vegetables. The central room
is occupied by boiler in which are
cooked the rations of vegetables and OF
grain, the latter being housed in the
opposite end from that occupied by the
vegetables. If this building can be
placed near to the quarters occupied
by the hogs or poultry, provided large
numbers of either of these animals are
kept, the combination of vegetables,
cook room and grain bins will be found
especially convenient. The vegetables
are placed in their own apartment,
either by carrying them in through the
cook room, or, what is better, by put

Making Woodland Profitable.

On many farms the woodland is ne
elected so much that it is constantly
growing less valuable instead of more
valuable. as it should If it is thinly
set, or if nearly all the trees ON it have
attained their growth. it will pnoba bly,
pay better to clear it off and let new
piece of land grow up with forest trees
Of the kind you believe will prove most
profitable. Where the seeds are sown
and properly cared for, the trees can
after a few years be thinned out, so as
to give more room, and this will fur
nish the annual wood supply with
greater profit than can come from con-
tinuing to cut out the decaying trees
of an old woodland, whose young
growth is small.

Fertilizer Analysis.

The facilities which the farm expert
ment stations in every State provide
for the analysis of fertilizers offered
for sale have resulted in running those
out of the business whose goods were
not up to the representa- made.
The farmer who has money to invest in
fertilizers can now be safe in reckon
ing that he will get his moneys worth.
If it does not pay him it will be because
he is too far from market to make his
fertilizer produced crop available, or
because having applied the fertilizer,
he has neglected necessary work, and
allowed the fertility to run to weeds,
while the crop he has planted is crowd
ed out.

Breeding Good HOGS.

There is one kind of stock that no
farmer, however poor, can afford to
breed of inferior quality 1t costs very
little to stock up with the very best
breeds of hogs, as the pigs are usually
sold at prices that make them cost
when fully grown little, if any, more
than their value when butchered and
sold as pork. By keeping this stock bred
to pure-bred males, and giving it good
care, it may be kept as good as it was
at first, and pork-making may be made
to pay profit, no matter how low it's
price may go. Whoever in any neigh
borhOod begins the breeding Of the
best hogs can easily find a market
among his own neighbors for all the
pigs he can grow. Should he have at
any time surplus, brief advertise
ment in some good farm journal will
enable him to dispose Of it. There is
never any class of stock that is less
likely to become unstable than a lot
of thrifty, growing pigs of the best
breeds.

Potash Salts of the Manure Heap.

When it is suggested that potash is
good for manure heaps, most people
think of the effect of wood ashes,
which contain potash in its caustic
form, and which touching any manure
causes immediately the loss of some of
it's ammonia. But potash salts are not
at all caustic, and if they were applied
with the ashes they would absorb the
ammonia as fast as the caustic potash
could liberate it. Even the caustic
potash in wood ashes is soon made into
a nitrate by combination with am
monia. This is very soluble in water,
so that neither ashes nor potash salts
should be applied to manure heaps I'M
til just before the manure is ready to
be applied to growing crops. Once in
the soil, there is no danger that manure
will waste.
