Hints for the Season.

|. Fatten hogs early, as it can be done
easier in mild weather, than during tile cold
weather Of the letter part VI Nuvember and
December, and besides early iattened pork
always brings better price in market
Beeves are now being slaugh tered for pack
ing, and this will continue until pork pack
ing begins. Such stock as you desire to
sell, will bring as good price now, in all
probability, as it will six weeks hence, with
the advantage oGu saving in iced; II they are
too lean, iced plentiiully with such food as
fatIenS rapidly.
Ii. If corn is not yet cut, or killed by
frost, Gu. it soon; shock IN the field until
dry; then husk aud crib il. Take care that
it is not put up in wet condition, IN poorly
ventilated cribs, as in that case 1t will be apt
to mold. Save all your STALKS, leaves and
husks for feed. as tDry will assist materially
in ekeng out the short crop ol hay.
iii. Plow wherever aud whenever the
land is dry enough, especially still clay soils,
as the acton ol the frost durlng winter viii
puIverlze anu mellow il, besides fall blowing
will XIII great many insects that have td-
ken refuge IN the ground. Drain land no,c,
as the present is good time, aud do II
Thoroughly. You will reap the reward next
season, III increased crops.
". Make and save all the manure you
can. Draw muck or mud. That from the
bottom OF ponds is good. Bed your hogs
with dry muck, they will root it over, and
thoroughly incorporate with it their own
manure, besides exposing it TO the action OF
tile air, and thus fitliug 1t the better for use
V. See that all your buildings are repair
ed. Nail Oh every IoOse capboard. Where
panes are broken, have them replaced. Ex-
anime roots, and stop all leaks. A lew
shilIihgs AMI hor rs thus spent, will in the
end save you many dollars, and what is ol
more consequence, your temper on multi
lude of occasions.
vi. Don't leave your pumpkins out in the
fields until they are partly or entirely spoiled
by the frost. Have them placed in dry
cellar, where frost will not enter. lEcare is
taken not 10 bruise them, they will keep
much longer, as they are as liable TO spoil as
apples, il roughly handled. Feed them to
milch cows during the winter, witha change
OF turnips and other roots.
VII, Sugar cane must now be cut aud
manufactured. Crush in iron mills, as more
Juice is expressed in these, than when the
rollers are made OF wood. Take care and
not scorch the syrup. The seed may be fed
10 stock, but not exclusively. Make cider
soon, and before the apples are hurt by the
lrost. Frozen or decayed apples will make
vinegar, but not good sweet cider.-O. Far

beautiful specimen of the typographical art.

increasing in size and the reading in ncn-

another the blowing up Ofrats, and third,
four rats running away with the Sub-Treas.

most teat. AS the Democratic rats are ''all

imagine what four big NorwayS, not content
with sucking the teals, are trying 10 run of

We can tell the people tina; this illustra-
tration may come near foreshddowing the
truth. The Republican office hunters are
$50 darned hungry" that when they once gel
a chance at the treasury, moderate turn at

Iowa Election.

1t is not yet certain how this State
voted at her late election. The Chi
cago Times OF Monday has returns,
official and reported, from twenty five
counties. In them, General A. @.
Dodge, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, gains 500 on the vote OF
1851, when Governor Lowe, Republi.
can, had 2,151 majority in the State
There are ninety counties in the State,

is kept up General Dodge will be tn,

gain several members OF the Legisla

The following is the vote of this County
by townships, as it appears on the official
abstract. The vote Oh the balance Of the
State ticke! is about the same, except on
Board Of Public Works. which is 1925 for
Tomlinson and 1905 for Gregory, indicating
that there must have been about 25 demo-
cratic votes cast for Mr.. Gregory. We
think that twenty these were cast by dem
ocrats who believed they were voting the
whcle democratic ticket, but were deceived
by spurious tickets, a specimen OF which we
published in our last issue. 1t is our opin.
