ooh, riyl,, to be sure but I shouldn't

"Should he not make the most Of the

Sarah He won the prize fairly, and
spoke nobly! you ought not to be so un-
kind :"
81 suppose you think no prize too great
for him." responded Sarah, with malici-
Gus little laugh. "Perhaps he will offer
his services in escorting you to the picnic
next Monday, in return for your eloquent
defence Of his rights. The Lily of Lis
bon Academy as Professor r. called her,
would be honored by such company"
"She would indeed be honored, Sarah,
BY any mark Of esteem from one whose
opinion is worth something" replied the
blue-eyed girl, proudly archiug her grace

"Thank you, Miss Winstan These
words spoken almost in her ear, as she
was bending over her desk, caused her to
lift her head with a start ani blush of
surprise. The deformed Hugh, now a
young man Of some seventeen years, stood
by her chair, gazing at her with those
mournful, deep, black eyes, which had
often won her sympathy.
"Bless you for your words of kindness !.

In the pulpit of one of the principal

deformity is the first feature to catch the
eye of a stranger. 1t is not until you hear
him speak-urtil you catch the fire from
his eye, and the enthusiasm from his lips,
that you forget to pity the speaker. You
do not wonder then, that be is willing to
come before the public eye weekly, even
with the weight of his natural defects; for
who can think Of these, when once carried

by the help of his Maker, to fit that soul

A Hard Case,

A Cleveland, Ohio, paper commenting
upon the late bank failures in that city,
says: "a poor Irish woman, upwards of
90 years of age, who for the last ten years
has kept an apple stand in the vicinity of
the Depot, deposited some three months
ago the sum of $500 in gold in the Canal
Bank. Yesterday morning with tremb-
ling steps she wentxo the Bank and asked
for her money. But she was cody refused
the little all, which she had laid up to
support her declining years This poor
old creature had borne the heat of s.m ner
aud the blasts of winter to accumulate the
sum, and now she finds i; swept out of her
reach, and squandered il luxurious living,
or sunk in cope. stock speculation. How
much is the beartless swindler better than
the open highway robber?

Prospectus of the yYyandot Pioneer.


In view of the rapidly improving condition OF
the county of Wyandot and town Of Upper
sandusky, and for other reasons not neces-
sary to be mentioned, i have purchased a new
press, type and other printing material tor the
enlargement of the PIONEER. 1t is my Intention
to attempt to get up as large and neat paper
as any one printed in any of the adjoining coun-
ties: and in so doing, shall have to look tothe
citizens of the county for the support necessary
for its continuance. The liberality OF the peo-
ple will therefore, determine the success and pub
lcation of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growth
and prosperity of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers.
The PIONEER, in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itself
that will not be extended to Others. While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political and
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although
may publish political paper, it must and Will
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor When say this, it IS not my IN
tention to say that the advice of friends VIII not
be received for shall at all times be pleased to
counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of our county and the
publication of the paper If however, L might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected, as good
~ portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
interests. A gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid me in this department OF the
paper, and with his aid, hope to be able to rem
der the country subscribers, good service.
The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to v1ndicate every thing calculated tc
promote the greatest good to the greatest mum
Der.
With this exposition Of what the Pioneer will
be, I ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as he can
to do likewise. The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per Of the county and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have good living
support

The Insects that Infure Plants,

There is not an orchardist, gardener or
florist, but is more or less annoyed by in
sects. Hundreds of remedies baye been
suggested, and but few answer any good
purpose. We were recently passing
through the grounds of an old cultivator,
and saw great numbers OF small bottles
hung in the trees. We enquired the OBJ
ject. To catch the curculio, was the re-
ply. The bottles were partly filed with
sweetened water, and had caught any
quantity of flies and millers. But the
curcullo had never ventured in. The cur
culio does not eat the fruit, he only de-
posts an egg in it, while the fruit is young;
the egg matches out maggot. This mag
got preys upon the fruit. The bottles
may do to catch wasps, which injure vast
quantities Of ripe peaches, figs, grapes,
DC. There are many destructive insects
which are kept off by offensive SMELL
Whale oil and tobacco water are some
times used with good success. We have
seen fish placed on the melon and cucum-
Der hill, which as they decomposed effec-
tually kept away the striped bugs, and af-
terwards fed the plants. Tobacco water
may be good to kill the insects, but it can
do the plant no good. A strong solution
of guano, or hen manure is the best thing
we have ever tried for bugs, worms and
lice that infest plants. A few applications
will check the rayages of the insects, and
greatly inyigorate the plant. The water
should stand until it becomes offensive be-
fore it is used.
The apple and peach borer may be check
ed by this application, and the tree improy
ed Dry guano, mixed with plaster, may
be busted over limbs that are infested with
the aphis, or over vines that are troubled
with lice. We think this application would
prevent the blight in the pear tree, as the
blight is caused by an insect. Rose bugs
may be scattered by dusting the rose
bushes with it, and almost all the insect.
that trouble plants may be kept away O.
killed, by either the dry or liquid appica
ton. This answers two-fold purpose

Best mode for Curing Hay.

My mode of curing hay was derived
from directions given by Judge Buei,
about the time be started the Cul-ivator.
The moving should be performed when
the grass is wilted it should be cooked,
observingthe rule invariably; never spread
the grass or open a cock unless through
carelessness water has got into its midsi.
If the prospect of weather is good and
the yield large, what is moved in the
forenoon and up to mid afternoon is turn
ed over in the swath before the dew falls
SO as to expose the green surface to the
dew. The next day it is cooked either
from the swath or winrow, by placing one
fork full upon another without rolling up.
This is the most important thing to be
well done in the whole process of hay
making, and every man must be instruct
ed to do it the very right way, and no
other, or the whole system fails. When
cooked it should remain unopened until
cured, from two days and upwards. The
cocks should be made small in circumfer-
ence, and as tall as they will stand; the
grass being cooked when heavy, they will
not blow over easily. For experiment, l
have allowed the cocks to stand three
weeks, and think without injury. The
same came out right in March, with the
heads, leaves and blossoms Of the clover
on, and as bright as when cut. find
most men, after the hay is cooked, are
impatient to stir it. After a long rain, I
let the cocks remain until thoroughly dri-
ed upon the outside, about two days; and
then if wet at the bottom, inyert them,
ready for another rain upon that end; or
if good weather, draw it in soon there
after.
In this way; never have had hay bad
ly cured, in the worst of weather. Care
and Judgment will overcome the worst of
of difficulties. I have had cocks outfrom
one to two weeks in severest rains without
material injury. A cock well made, has
a well thatched roof and water will not
pass in over an inch. If the weather is
doubtful, the grass is spread, and if light
it should be cooked the same day it is
moved. But the farmer has no business
to have light grass. Two and half tons
to the acre is the least lie should have
when long enough on the farm to prepare
and seed his meadows. 1t is miserable
economy to have less.
There is another way Of sccur fng hay,
which I have known some good farmers
practice. That is, cut the grass when in
blossom, free from wet; wilt it, and draw
it to the barn in that state, and keep tie
barn as near air-tight as possible. I have
understood this is extensively practiced
in Pennsylvania, where they have stone
barns well adapted to the practice, and
one of the most intelligent and prosper
Gus graziers of Chemung county, told me
this was his practice; he said the hay
would mold little, but the cattle,
would eat it as well or better, and be
thought it more nutritious--probably bet
terror cattle than horses or sheep Goun-

I noticed in the April No ofthe Farmer
that your correspondent d. D. Bird calls
upon one of the medical faculty to pre-
scribe dose of pills or powders that will
curesheep when they have eaten too freely
of salt. | suppose he is not particular who
the prescription comes from, if it is only
effectual; l therefore offer one. But as
6etest pills and powders, for think they
are not very beneficial to any class of ami
mails, ] shall at once say, give the patient
water.
From little experience like that ofmy
friends dear bought, am inclined to the
opinion that sheep will not eat salt enough
to hurt them if they have free access to
water, or if they have free access to water
soon after eating the salt.
My opinion is predicated upon the fol-
lowing facts: Some years ago, I took for
ty lambs from the ewes and put them in a
field by themselves, and in order to entiee
them to eat satl, scattered lttile occasion
ally on the grass in one corner of the field
They soon found the salt, and often after
wards visited that part of the field. On
seeming them there one day, told my boy
to give them basin of salt. 1t afterwards
appeared that he tried to see how big a
stack of damp salt he could put on the bas-
In, and thus got about three times as much
as directed. This he placed on the ground
IN few places, and quite near together
This was at noon. The next morning, il
passing through the field, l found six O
tae largest lambs dead, and fourteen OF
fifteen more very, sick, SO much SO that
did not expect at the time to save any 0
them. There was on waterin the field
and it occurred to me that possibly the,
would like some; so, much trouble | 90

but the sick ones dI ank and drank again
until it seemeda though they would burs
After they had all got their ill, they wer
Put into the field again. They all recover
ed. but for some day s they did not look a
1,iu'np as when they left the water.
Do not the above facts explain the res
son why some gcontened that sheep wi
sometimes eat sufficient quantity of sa
to kill them, while others contend the
