Prairieton Paragraphs..

Mrs. Wm. Kennett, who has been suffering with pneumonia fever is con vales cing rapidly.

The only political question at present is, will Bphriam get there as he now is willing to accept.

The schools of Prairieton are all in the best working order they ever bave been in, and we feel confident quite a number of our students will graduate under the new system adopted by the board. Both teachers and students are doing their best, in lact there never has been such an interest taken as at the present. Th? only trouble is we fear that parents and patrons are not taking the interest in the great enterprise that they should. The amount of money taken to run the schools of our county, is over one hundred and nineteen thousand dollars per annum and not more than one half tbe children over six and under twenty-one are deriving any benefit from this vast expenditure, while the schools are open to all and they could derive all tbe benefits without an additional dollars expense. Just thijik of it.

The farmers are well pleased witfe the prospects of a wheat crop nex SHOD However disagreeable it may be to haw the ground covered with snow, it is one ot the best protectors which tbe farmer, has, considering bow little it coats When the land is covered in the auiumn, and it lays all winter, it serves as a great protection to the wheat and grass and all creeping vines. Tbe snow net only protects the vegetation which it coveraup, by sheltering it lrom tbe cold winds and sudden changes ot weather, but it prevents tbe frequent freezing and thawing ol the grouud, which is so destructive to the wheat roots that are near the surface, and which are often lifted entity out of the ground by the acnon of the frost. As a rule the season cornea forward earlier when the ground has been covered with snow tbe «ni ne winter than it does when there has tw bat little snow. In our climate, it 1- best to bave plenty of snow and have it lay on the ground during the period of cold weather. This year we have smarted witbagcod covering of snow. .Should it be replenished as fsst as ne ded to keep the land covered we may 1-ok for good crops of wheat, and grass, next season and a spring that will be favorable for planting farim crops Writing school is on the boom at Joppa, a priae will be given to the one that makes the most improvement on penmanship, and a prize to the one that makes the most improvement on fast penraanshi p.
