The Truth Rightly spoken.

Mr.. John Johnston, the celebrated Gene
va farmer, of Western New York, in a re-
cent letter addressed to Colonel B. p. John
son, Secretary of the New York State Ag-
ricultural Society, and published in the
Monthly Journal of the society, lays down
these telling facts, in brief which we pre-
sumo no farmer will deny, and we hope all
will apply whose shortcomings bring them
within the pale of the implied truth
I notice that those farmers who have
most difficulty to make ends meet always
plow most, and keep most stock. Now
these men take the true plan to keep them
selves poor, because their crops and stock
are always poor and bring little. 1t is a
good profit TO raise 300 bushels Of wheat
from ten acres but when it takes thirty
acres to raise that amount, it is raised at a
loss so it is with cattle and sheep; you will
see the thinking farmer making four-year-
old steers worth from $50 to $50 each, and
his neighbors at the same age, not worth
over S25 to $40. Now this ought not to
be, in a country where al men are born free
and equal if the farm is rich, then labor
intelligently employed will soon make the
owner in easy circumstances if his land is
exhausted, land great many farms are, J
then he should plow no more than he can
thoroughly manure. Seed with clover and
grass, and let it rest for even two years, and
that yield will not only pay well for tillage,
but it will furnish manure (if rightly man
aged) to make another field of same size,
rich also; it is bad policy, when field is
once highly manured, to continue cropping
it with grain until the manure is used up.
The latter end of that land will be worse
than the first; but let that land lay in clover
even one year, but two is better, after it is
manured, and then it will stand perhaps six
good crops before it requires manuring if a
clay sub-soil | know it will.

"OLD ABE" AMONG THE WORKING MEN
THE FIRST LINCOLN POLE We want no
better evidence of the success of our ticke
than the enthusiasm with which the labor

country, 90 into the support of Honest
Old Ate Yesterday afternoon the work
men in DeFrees's Cooper shop, who are al
most to a man for Lincoln, with crowd of
their neighbors, raised tall, straight and
beautiful ash pole, and finished the
work with hearty cheers for their candidate
for the Presidency. To-day a Lincoln and
Hamlin Flag will be unfurled to the breeze
in honor of the National Anniversary
This is but one of the many evidences we
have of the enthusiasm for Z" Old Abe" the
honest man, the man of toll, in the shops
and foundries and manufactures all over our
city. The working men who earn subsist-
ence by honest labor, and who despse the
tricks of politicians and demagogues have
confidence in the integrity of Lincoln, and
know from his lifelong experience that he
is acquainted with their wants, and will
sympathize with their interests.
