October. -Darlington Kews. j E v More Stock on. Southern " - \ Farms. The end of ali agricultural produc tioa as the readers, of the Southern -Cultivator well known, is animal con "aomption either as food or clothing for animals, matt included. The factory which converts cotton into yarns as its finished product leaves the profit of con- j ; " " 'verting these into cloth to another factory. Let ns lhen#regard ali cf our ? domestic animals as machines fer the j conversion of cheap vegetab?? matter ' into more valuable animal prod cots, such as wool, beef, mutton, pc:>, milk, j eggs, poultry, or in the case of horses j and. mules-work. It this view the | more vegetable substances utilized by ?r.'^. these animal factories the greater the -dividends declared to the owners of the factories. Oar people do not seem to appreciate the fact that the conversion of ali '? available material derived from the soil ?V ***io &e mote valuable and compact animal products without the interven? tion of so mach costly haman labor '. - constitutes a most important factor in determining the question of success or failure. They do not sufficiently ap? preciate the fact that nearly ali cf the ?y - nitrogen of the food consumed by a grown animal and ail cf the phosphoric -. acid and potash contained in the food are excreted in the solid and liquid manure. One of the tacst culpable wastes of which any people were ever guilty is that of applying cotton seed and cotton seed meal as manure without * first runoipir them throu'gh the animal machine? Both are most valuable feed gtuifc which would be equally valuable as manure after passing through the snimal if the solid and liquid excre?a were saved. Lawes estimates the value of the manure from a too of couoa seed meal at ?27-00 in England. ??he uiea? costs os here much less than that it is true that it is not tow practicable to feed the entire product of cotton seed in the South because there are not enongh stock co consume them. On many Southern plantations enough peas, potatoes and small grain is wasted to produce, if consumed by swine, enough bacon for the proprieior. and enough hay "dries in the fields, ii harvested and fed in connection with cotton seed, to produce more vatue in beef and milk than the cotton crop upon the plantation will after paving cost of production bf the latter. We fail to utilize the verj forces of r;ature which do cur bidding rae? vniiip.^iv and profitably. So true is this ?h?^ the measure of success of the tillers of the soil in tbeSf-u?h ir. a j be very accurately * gauged by the attention given to srock breed-ng Stoc'c on the faruj often utilize with pron: vegetable growths which would, uncoivuiuvd, not only remain wit hont profit, but prove n positive icjurj.

Examinations. The result of the last examinations of applicants for certificates to teach in the public schools of this County, shows clearly the great want of higher schol? arship. jSo^twithstanding the elemen? tary and simple nature of the questions, but .a staall percentage of those who ap? plied received certificates. It is curi? ous, indeed, to see what subtle reason? ing some of the brethren employed to frame answers to those elementary ques? tions I have not examined closely into their forms of reasoning; but, possibly, t^ey employ the inductive and deduc-. tive methods, with their servants, anal? ysis and synthesis ; but sure it is, they reason in a circle and begged the ques? tion. Some of the answers are truly paradoxical. Here are only a few of the questions and answers. Q. What was the great commercial problem of the age at th i time America was discovered ? A. To find a route to England. Q.. When was South Carolina settled and where ? A. At Jamestown, in 1783. Q. Mention the battles of the Rev? olutionary War which were fought in South Carolina. A Bell Run, Washington, and ! Bucker Hill. Q. Into how many parts is Geography divided ? j A. Georgia and South Carolina. Q What are Isotherms ? ! A. They are islands in the ocean. Q. "Why does it rain in the Southern part of Chili and not in the Northern part ? A. Because there is "more rain in the Southern part than Northern. Q Why are the Equatorial regions the hottest? A. Because they are nearest to the Equator, and the Equator nearest the Torrid Zone. Q. What is a unit, concrete nnmber, abstract number, ??c. ? A. A unit is a singular thing, a concrete number is a phrase denoting a collection of singular things, an. ab? stract number is a phrase denoting one singular thing. As to grammar, it would* be too te j dious to give the many* execrable blun? ders that were made.

Teach a chid slowly, j step by st-'p, and gladly follows the path you point <>:;L Attempt to j teach, at one lesson what should ?ccu- \ py five, and you soon find him dis- j cou raged, careless and indiff?rent. V. Lead your pupils to find out for themselves. It has been said that we should j never tell our pupils what they can learn without our aid. It not only ? injures the pupil's mind, but takes from him more than half the pleasure which the .acquirement of knowledge ^L4 brings. He who has never felt the triumph of solving unaided a difficult question has missed one of the great? est delights of school-life. . . VI. Manage to have the pupils re? state, in their own language, the truths taught, giving Ibeir own illus? trations and proofs. Some tell us that the author of a book has used tho best possible lan? guage to convey his meaning, and therefore we should ase that language and not our own. Perhaps in one sense be had used the best, but it is not always the mo6t intelligible. To studv concise and beautiful language is "well enough, but the first thing is to teach the truth, and afterwards it may be embodied in any language you please. Encourage your pupils to study the matter, not the language, of his text boo!:, and always to be able to express it clearly in bis own language. Then, and not tiil then, he knows it ; it is his own, and none can take it away. VII. Review, Review, Review. This law carries with it ?ts own ex? planation and needs" no words of mine to commend it. By our own experience we know that it is by constantly seeing and hearing a thing, we become familiar with it in all its parts, and we cannot expect a child to learn with less drill and repetition than we must have. Trustees. It is my desre to meet the several Boards of Trustees of the County, in their respective school districts in order that I may advise and confer with them ou'matters tending to the furtherance of the educational inter? est of their school districts. I re gard this a3 an important part of my official duty, and will be glad to have them give me due notice at what time and place I may meet them. J. T WILDER, Sch. Com. Sumter Co. A century ago an infidel German countess, dying, ordered that her grave be covered with a solid granite slab : that around it should be placed solid blocks of stone, and the whole be fasten? ed together hy strong irco clamps, and that on the stone be cut these words : 'This burial place, purchased- to all eternity, mast never b? opened.' But a little seed sprouted under the cover? ing, asd the tiny shoot found its way through between two of the slabs,.and grew there slowly and surely until it burst the clamps asunder, and lifting the immense block, thc structure ere long became a confused mass of rock, among which in verdure and beauty grew the great oak which bad caused the destruction. Thus truth -dislodges error; thus her branches, spread in splendor above the ruins of the false, and thus 'he that exalteth himself shall be abased/-Lutheran. I Q lJJ_. Love For His Mother. In one of his sonnets to bis moth? er, Heinrich Heine confesses that while he could stand before the face of a .v'ng without a downcast eye, be could not help being 'smit with shy humility' when in bis mother's pre? sence. And he ascribes this feeling to the "sad memories that tell How many a time I ?used tby dear heart paie, Thy gee l?e heart, that ?oveth me so weil." In this confession of the poet, one finds the universal truth that offences committed in youth agaiust the law of filial affection, become 'sad mem? ories' in life's aftertirae. The parent's love pardons the fault) but no child ever tully forgives himself for having wounded a parent's heart. The sad memories live on, fretting the soul, and begetting the profitless cry, 'Ob, that I had never wounded the loving hearts of my father and mother !?? Happy, therefore, are those youths, who by honoring their patents, put no acts into their lives, which can grow, into such 'sad ' memories' as those which burned themselves into the soul of Heinrich Heine !-Zion's Herald.
