Various Hints for the Season.

1 1. AS the pastures become short and
dry. your stock viii betray symptoms Of
uneasiness. Some win pine, some will
be ill-tempered, and some will become
unruiy. The way to remedy this is to
increase the supply of food. This NAV
be effected indirectly by selling off a part
OF your stock; it may be effected direetlv
by putting the animals into fresh pasture,
or BY feeding extra food, in vegetables,
gram, or meal, or by all these means
combined. There will be q great amount
of food for stock this fall. This may
tempt many to try to keep too much
stock: Be on your guard against this.
:. BE very careful to preserve speci-
mems OF all your ripening fruits, especial
ly from young trees. We know some
persons who have had orchards bearing
several years. and who, after all, have
discovered this year, for the first time,
how valuable some kinds of THEN fruit
were. \ little attention to this matter
nor will enable you to add to your num-
Der of fruit trees judiciously.
8. Repair all leaky places in roofs;
nail up all open spots in the sides of
barns and sheds, and provide good shell
ter for your stock, before the heavy au-
tumn storms occur.
4. The autumn is the best time for
painting all wood that needs this pro.
lection. Paint, therefore, soon, all fences.
posts, gates, sheds and buildings that
need painting. whether new or old.
.. n few days since. we saw hay
rack, several plows, harrow, a cart,
some OK yokes and a one-horse wagon
lying out of doors. They were baking
IN the sun, and cracking open with EXPO
sure. Near by them was plenty of room
to keep them all under good shelter. We
won't tell the mans name; but we hope
that when he reads this, he, and all others
who have done the same thing. will put
all such implements under cover Ohio

FALLEN FRuIr.-No fallen, unripe fruit
should be permitted to decay on the
ground under or about the trees. Fruit
that drops off before it is ripe, does so be.
cause an insect is IN it which has diseased
it. The insect natures in the fallen fruit
and rises to infect the tree or leave it:
Larvae for another crop of its kind. Fruit
growers cannot be too careful in gather
ing the fallen fruit. that the grounds be-
meath their trees do not become insect
nurseries-that their orchards do not be-
come swarming households for insect
tribes.-Er.

STICK TO THE FARM.-Amid your
plans for the future, never, for one mo.
lnent, harbor the idea of lettering your
condition by entering the arena of COM
mcrcial life. Do not exchange a home
of quiet, real enjoyment, for the turmoil
and illusion of city residence. Barter
not sweet repose for visions of empty
wallets, nor let notes due on the morrow
assume the prerogratives of the night
mare. Very poor comforters for care
and anxiety are these little realities il
the commercial world. Stick to the
farm. What though hard labor be the
every day command. it is noble, health
full, and conducive to the development Of
the whole man.-Rural Ne,0 Yorker.

Winter Wheat.

1t is now pretty well settled fact that
winter wheat approximates closely to a
sure crop in Minnesota. We have con-
versed with number of our most intelli-
gent and enterprising farmers, and all
unite in the opinion that winter wheat can
be as successfully raised in this Territory
as in any other part os the United States.
Whatever doubts may have existed,
heretofore, as to the feasibility of cultivat-
ing this crop in our rigorous climate,
must be dissipated by the very extraordi-
nary yield Of this season. The crop re-
Gently harvested was but an experimental
one-an experiment too maze under ex-
tremely adverse circumstances. The al
most Unprecedented severity of last win
ter, was peculiarly unfavorsble to the sue
cess of this crop; yet we find, in almost
every instance, larger yield than is ever
produced in the best wheat growing re-
gions of the Middle States. There are
many reasons why our farmers should
sow winter wheat in preference to the u.s.
nal spring variety. The high price of la
Dor, and brief time,-incident to our late
springs-for getting in spring crops, to
say nothing of the much higher price
which winter wheat commsnds in the
market over the spring variety, or the
comparative leisure time of the farmer in
the autumn-the finest season of the year
for sOwing-should certainly induce all
who possess the facilities for so doing to
sow largely this fall.
! We hear numerous inquiries for seed
wheat coming from all directions. Per-
sons having good variety, ready for the
market. will confer a favor upon many Of
our farmers by leaving their address al
this officc.-Hankato Independent.

nervousness since

$ "What a queer conceit - said Mrs.
Darlington, as Ike read in the proceedings
of the Senate, that sundry persons had
introduced petition for Incorporation for
manufacturing purposes. He had his
mouth full of gingerbread at the time,
from quantity of such that be had stow
: ed away in his pocket, and his articulation
s was not very distinct. Manufacturing
porpoises," continued she; "what queer
= thing to manufacture, to be sure as if
There wasn't ways enough already for the
manufacture Of town porpoises, but they
must go and make regular business Of
it, % Purposes" said Ike, with en-
phasis, spur, pur, p-o, purpo, SEES,
ses, purposes--it is for manufacturing
purposes" ''Ohl'' said Mrs Darlington,
that's all, is it? Well, I'm glad it
amt no worse; but don't see what they
=. want law allowing 'em%o manufacture
purposes for, when they can't carry out
: half the purposes they make" She stop
, ped to bite off the thread with which she
was contracting rent, and Ike turned
over to the story of the eleven Brothers
of Brittany, or the Brigands of the Lone
Mountain" and became absorbed in the
adventures of Dona Irena and the Black
Knight, in the dark forests, at midnight,
in thunder storm, where, in a terrible
fight, the Black knight was triumphant,
and the seven brigands got slowed.

81 aThpit on it, Captain. q.

a good story has been told Of lisping
officer in the United States Army, having
been victimized by brother officer. (who
was noted for his cool deliberatIon and
strong nerve; and his getting square with
him in the following manner; The cool
Joker, captain, was alwaysa uizzing the
lisping officer, lieutenant, for his ner-
Yousness.
Why" said be one day. in the pres
ence of his company, NERVOUSNESS is all

and where it wath thertain that if You

&c How said the captain, winking at
the circle, "Why, take it cool, and spit
on the fusee.i"
The party broke up and retired for the
might, except the patrol The next NOR

eyes, he remarked
'"I want to try an experiment thith
morning, and thee how exceedingly cool

-Aet. Saying which, he walked deliberately
up TO the fire burning on the hearth, and
placing in Its hottest centre a powder
canister, instantly retreated. There was
pbut one mode Of egreSs from the quarters,
and that was upon the parade ground,
'2the road being built up for defence; the
occupant took one glance at the canister,
comprehended his situation, and in mo-
ment dashed at the door, but it was fas-
tened on the outside

garment and thus, his hair almost upon
end, he dashed upon full parade ground.
The shouts which hailed him, brought
ont the whole barracks to see what was
the matter. and the dignifed captain
pulled a tall sergeant in front of him, to
hide himself.
''Why didn't you thpit on it?" in
quired the lieutenant.

E Horse SHOES BY MAcHINzRY.-On the
18th of December, 1854, patent was
presented to Robert Grifiths, of Ale
CLANCY, Pa, for an improved machine
for making horse shoes. Previous to this
time, says the Scientific american, we
have had no opportunity Of examining
into the natur Of its action, and the
principles of It's construction, but during
the past week the inventor has been ex-
hibiting a model of it at the johnson
House, New York, and has explained its
operations to us, and shown us specimens
of its work. The iron bar of which the
shoes are made is fed red hot into the
machine, and is then cut off the required
length, bent by levers, and formed upon
dies, swedged and punched at one con-
tinuous operation. A working machine
in Allegheny, we are informed, makes
ten horse shoes, with ease, per minute,
and, judging from the specimen we saw,
these require very little to be done to
them afterwards to fit them for use. The
shoes are well formed, and exhibit no
straining of the fibre of the metal. This
machine accomplishes at one continuous
operation that which requires three and
four different operations, on other horse
shoe machines.
