their durability depends great deal upon

use them. Farmers should understand the
principles upon which the construction and

0T"One of our New York contemporaries
draws the following portrait Of New York
" rowdy.' 1t is liie.like picture 1t is
strange that the m"cratic government of

The simple truth is-and the sooner we
look it in the face the bctter--that there is
not in the whole world heaStlier animal than
the New York rowdv.' There is the fact
not pleasant one certainly but there is
the fact. We believe that an unprotected
fc,nale would be safer among ,bc savage tribes
Of America or Africa than in the streets of
New York Compared with thorough
paced New York 'rowdy,' the Digger Indian
rises into celestial altiiudes Of refinement,
courto sy and humanity. Its all very well TO
talk of reforming such fellows as Patrick
Cunning or Archibald Brown, but where
will YOU begin to reform! When man
breaks his head you can TIE pan it. when he
fractures his bones you can set them. when
he is sick you can give him medicine; but
when human being is absolutely and COM
pletely rotten. there is al end 10 HIM. and
the sooner he is shnfll,d under ground the
better. Such BOYS rs these, such bows "a
