111 ii mi ■MWkritiKtnwiW.an EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. A. F. SIMPSON, Editor. Tiie Laboring Man and the Student. BY L. W. A. LUCKEY. Fellow Teachers: Think not that I have quite forgotten you or your profession. lam now a fanner, a laboring man —an obscure toiler—yet 1 am your brother teacher. To relieve your minds and to answer the many whys and wherefores in regard to my leaving the educational field to one of manual labor, after making such thorough preparation as if for life work, allow me to say that I felt it my duty to rayself (after having been engaged in teaching for eight long years) to leave the school-room and engage in agricultural work. After ray body has been strengthened by labor I will be a worker among you again. But to my subject: Do you fully understand the influence of manual labor upon the mind ? When an invention is made which adds greatly to our enjoyment, or a book full of instruction and beauty is written by a laboring man, are we not astonished ? Why this astonishment and wonder? when we see that the majority of those who have ; shown as stars in the literary world, or illuminated the paths of scientific knowledge; who have been master-spirits of the age; have been toilers born in ob-! scarify and obliged to < work. But let us'notice the advantages of the laboring wan over the student. First— lie has more physical strength. > ( The mind and body are so closely i connected that weakness or inactivity in one generally produces a like manifes- • tation in the other. Muscles strength- j ened by exercise and a brain refreshed t by pure blood enables the mind to con- 1 ceive with clearness and act more forci- ' a bly. Second— He has more self reliance. | t He has nothing to fall back upon , i i; there is none to lighten Lis heavy bur- 1 dens—he has to bear them, and they ii; make him stronger. He feels nobly f, independent of others' aids, and self-I t made men are heroes in the moral n world. When he applies his mind to ! b the acquisition of knowledge be is not , a discouraged by difficulties. He is fa- i< miliar with them and expects them. He f. ■docs not think his mind will grow with- [j out hard study any more than be ex- n pects a golden harvest without digging „ the ground and sowing seed.' p Tiiird — He lives more out of himself. •_ The student often turns his eyes in- t ward and watches the workings of his p own mind, forgetting that to know 0 himself aright he must compare him- { self with others and see what relations ' ]j he bears to the outward world. lienee . s , the noblest mind often preys upon it- ]j self and is destroyed by thought. But ], he who digs the field lias a bearing I J wind and makes rapid progress. He n sees the benovolence of God in every p opening bud and blushing flower. The j n pomp of the groves, the garniture of the f ; fields, the songs of the birds, all have j| a voice which goes to his heart and awakes strange and beautiful thoughts [ there. Nature teaches him lessons of , gl utility and designs; and with a soul e enlarged, yet humble, he is better pre-1 a pared to apply to books and arts, the , '] exponents of others' minds. He tries n to elevate and enlighten first his own i mind then the minds of others over p whom he has any influence. And to do r this a man must do more than spend a i q life in study. i c Fourth— He is more successful in do- ; {ng good. lie mingles with all classes of socie- i c ty and sees the workings of the heart | t unrestrained by outward forms; while t the student is conversant only with the educated, whose mannersjare adopted and Q whose souls are veiled so the lights and , j shadows cannot be seen. The student may desire to do as much good, but cannot, because he is ignorant of the material on which he is working. He can never speak such words of encour- j agemeut to the poor and suffering as , he who has felt, not imagined, their j hardships. He only who has taught; j himself, who has worked his own path ; up, can stimulate the ignorant, the , friendless and forgotten, to exertion. j He knows what it is to be without a ; ; friend : he knows every obstacle that , lies in their pathway were in his. The , trials he met and overcame have fitted : t him to help others. They formed his y character; for, as in the natural world, . p the richest fruit must be touched by . p frost before it ripens; so it would seem , j in the mental, no character becomes I j perfect until touched by the frost of \ ~ adversity. If we look into the future n we see truths which the mass of man- : t kind are not able to receive calmly ; , ~ here the student will conceal what he , knows to be true because he cannot live without accustomed mole of mainte- ' nance, his reputation, and his friends. ( The laboring man is not afraid to speak , wholesome but disagreeable truths, for i he feels indendent, and has a trade to , support him if his pen does fail him. t Fifth— He is a more powerful writer. I f His thoughts are natural; they come ; from the heart and go to other hearts , with a wonderful force. They are , flowers, fragrant and blooming, and j f fresh from the hedgerow, and not those taken apart and torn by the botanist. A man who works in this beautiful world gets his heart too full; his emo ( tions will gush forth and they fall like rain upon the parched earth, causing j ererthing to grow and blossom like a I t rose. As long as time shall last the ( pious words of Bunyan shall echo I through the earth. And the music j which gushed from the soul of Burns as he followed the plow and sang to the‘-Wee modest crimson tipped flower" shall never die. As the world advances j the laboring man takes a higher position. Soon it will be that he who does ! * nothing will be nothing; then the ben ' eficial influence of work upon the mind will be better understood and the la “ boring man’s profession will be far 1 superior to that of the student. ; , t j Flowers Must Fade.—The bright ’ ’ est flowers must fade, but young lives • endangered.by severe coughs and eolds. ! may be preserved by Dr. Thomas’ EcJectric Oil. Croup whooping cough, bronchitis, in short, all affections of the throat, and lungs are relieved by this j sterling preparation, which also remedies rheumatic pains, sores, bruises, piles, kidney difficulty, and is most economic.

FLAX STRAW WASTED. ' To the Farmers of Jlelnms ansi .Adjoining Counties. - T will call your attention to a matter that concerns you as well as myself. The culture of flax is very imperfectly understood by a large majority of our farmers. I desire to call your attention to a few very important points and : if proper consideration is given my views I have no doubt but that pecunir ary benefits will accrue to those who • may see proper to follow my instructions. As a general rule our farmers • I do not properly prepare the soil for flax seed. The next evil is their sowing, which is generally succeeded with a crop of weeds and fox-tails instead of lint and seed. Two pecks of seed to the acre may produce an average crop if the season is very favorable, but three pecks to the acre is more certain taking everything into consideration. The best soil for to sow flax on is sod ground, and next best to that is good clean corn stubble. The ground should be well prepared, well ploughed and harrowed fine. Get a field roller and make your ground smoothe and fine, then sow your seed and brush it in with a brnsh, and put no less than i three pecks to an acre of ground, j Our fanners let the seed get too ripe before harvesting; the result is shrinkage in seed and a very unprofitable article to the crusher or manufacturer Don’t let your flax get ripe before cut- i ting; it is necessary, but wrong. Some i think seed ought to have a brown col- I or before it is fit to cut. This is a mistake. When seed is fairly formed in ! the boll, and begins to harden a little, cut down your flax and let it ripen in j the swath. It will mature in 8 or 10 j days. You will then have a quality of . seed that will be desirable. Seed saved j in this way will weigh six pounds more to the stroked bushel than seed that has ripened while standing. Try it once and you will be convinced. The next matter of importance is taking care of the straw so it will realize for you the highest market price. | The farmers of Huntington and adjoining counties are rotting their straw before bringing it into the market and they are well pleased with the arrange-1 meet, as the cost of rotting amounts to i but very little to the farmers as they | are provided with ever facility. This j idea of rotting may not meet with much | favor; but 1 have no fears. After the 1 first experiment has been tried you will ; never want to sell green straw after- j wards when you can get from $2 to $3 per ton more for rotted than for unrot;ed. For your information I will say that one man can spread out four tons per day, and this amount should cover one acre of ground as near as possible. It must be shook out and spread very light so the grass underneath can be I seen. There is one great advantage in light spreading; it rots and drys quick- I ly. It will not rot evenly if it is laid down in bunches, as the inside receives i material benefit while the exposed j parts will be properly rotted. There ! need be no misunderstanding. When ' fanners come to market their straw and. I if I should find fault, say;'• Well, II spread it out and did as you directed," I can tell how it has been treated. 1I _ sometimes get straw that is rotted . enough before the seed is taken off. 1 ■ also get some that is about half rotted, i | These two qualities I can use by mixing with well rotted stock. The average price for different qual- . i ities will be: For long, clean and well rotted straw, ; green and unrotted, S 3. ■ The cost of rotting will not exceed GO ; cents per ton to those who own the , ground and have cheap labor. Farmers having straw of last year's i crop will find a market for it. If fur- | ther information is wanted by any par- j ties they will find me at the factory. ' Farmers wanting to buy seed for sowing can be accommodated by calling on Niblick, Crawford & sons. T. F. Mylott. Decatur, Ind., Mar. 17, 1881. The market is full of preparations for the hair, some of them good, and many of them good for nothing. 11. P. | Hall & Co., of Nashua, N. H., manu- : facture an article of real merit, which : has been advertised in the Express for 1 the past year, and we have taken no i little pains to inquire how it has been liked bv the public. One of our druggists informs us that he has sold more than double the amount of llenewer than of all other hair preparation combined. and when a person once uses it. he will use no other: that is not only bought, by the young people as a dressing, but by older persons for removing dandruff, preserving and increasing the growth of the hair and restoring its natural color. Another druggists says that he sells three or four times as much of Hall sas of all Others. -H imp- I shire Express, Amherst, Mass. no. 11m. A Heavy Swell-Jacob 11. Bloom er, of Virgille, N.

It restores, with the .gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands ar. not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vioob cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all <ff the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseasea of th* scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The Vicon is incomparable. It is color- I less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambrie. It imparts an : agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellenM. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
