GOOD ADVICE.
The Corning adams County, Iowa. Sen
tinel warns the farmers thereabou ts, against
the Gold Excitement that is certain to be
created between this and the first of April.
It advises them to stick to their farms and
cultivate them closely, leaving no bare inch
to 20 to waste, and they will be better re-
warded than if they make the weary jour
ney to the Peak. 1t requires capital to
make the mines pay. You cannot shovel up
gold and load it into o cart, as many ofyou
presume. Expensive machinery will be
required to obtain the treasures of the Peak,
and those only who are able to prepare them
selves in this way will succeed. Commence
earlynext spring with your farms; get in good
crops of corn, wheat and potatoes; secure
all the hogs that you can, with the assurance
tina, there will be ready demand for all
you can produce.

c. The Burlington Hawkeye says cx.
tenve preparations are being made in that
city, this season, for pork packing. 1t is
informed that the quality of hogs will be
much better this season than last. Few vet
have been slaughtered. Hogs are scarce,
corn plenty and cheap. The consequence
will be that those slaughtered will be we'll
fatted, and will not como forward as ear
y as last year when the reverse was true.

majoritics.
