J. H. Mills, Supt. KEPORTS B¥ THE TEACIIEHS. The orphans are divided into Four Graded Forms, each in charge of a teacher, whose report is printed every fourth week The highest number is 10; the lowest is 1. When the average is below 5, the orphan is liable to be discharged as not “promising,” and therefore excluded the regulations. This paper contains the report made by the teacher of the EJKST FOKItf.

A farmer in Ohio has recently made an experiment wliicli sug gests an idea, lie had procured an ear of very' lino yellow corn, and, wishing to procure seed from it, planted it in good soil; having first ascertained that there were about live hundred graiiis on the ceb. 'file corn produced from these five hundred kernels meas ured nearly' nine busliels, or about nine hundred ears from one. The seed so obtained was as good as the specimen planted. If farmers in this State would strive to ob tain improved seed—-and improv ed seed does not necessarily mean new varieties—they' would make money by the operation. The truth is that little or no attention is paid to saving seed. When wheat is to be sown the farmer goes to the store and buy's his seed wlieat, not knowing wliere it comes from—ignorant, perhaps, that one sack of good wheat may' be mixed with two sacks of bad —and ignorant or careless of where it comes from. By such carelessness the field is often seeded with tliistles or weeds, which require years to eradicate. We have a case in mind of a little wheat-growing valley which ten years ago ivas innocent of weeds or thistles. But since that time one of the farmers bought his seed wlieat without takifig proper precautions in regard to where it w'as raised, and the following season he found his field with a very little wlieat and a great many California thistles. The next year the wind had scattered the seeds broadcast over the val ley, and to-day it is almost use less to sow grain of any kind in that valley, f ir the thistles choke it out completely. It would be an excellent idea to go through tiio w'heat fields in the fall and pick out a few clioice heads, well tilled out, and thresli them out b_y rubbing in the liand. Put the seed in water and skim off the floating grains which are not well filled out. Save the balance carefully, and in the spring sow or plant in some good mellow ground,' and not so thick but that the soil around eacli stalk can be stirred with the hoe, and w'liere it can be w'atered if necessary. A quart of seed plant ed in this way' would produce a large amount of grain superior to a large majority of the seed w'heat in the country'. In this way the crop can' be renewed, and not only higli'priced grain, but more of it, will be the result. REPORT OF jCon^^tiong For tile week eniting; July 31st. IfJ CASH.
