opinion that "sojering" is decidedly the

only regret is, that, being in General Pat

neaure strength with the Traitors.

PAINTING BulLDlNGs. - This topic has
appropriately occupied the attention of
several " Farmers Clabs " the present win
ter. For the first coat Of printing" there
appears TO be nothing better than the old
method of using white lead in oil. A thin
mixture fills the pores Of the wood better
than thick one. For a second coat, if three
are used mixture of white lead and zinc is
good. For the final coat. whether it be the
second or third one, we prefer the zinc paint
for white. Though costing more per pound,
it goes further, and is on the whole quite as
cheap as lead, while it retains its clear white
color much better than lead, which is tar
niShed by snlphurous gasscs arising from the
manure around barns and stables, and from
the sink drain and other sources around the
house. There is always enough of sulphur
retted hydrogen in the air to gradually
darken any surface paint containing lead.

his experience on this subject as follows: -

year with another it is the most satisfactory.

land is, as it should be, dry and friable from
drainage, my seed gets well covered by the

more shaded by the oats than by the wheat
plant, and has better hold of the soil with
its roots to bear the heat Of suns after the
oats are harvested.

LITTLE GIRLS.

Little girls, oh, little girls!
Very sweet are little girls
With their soft and rosy checks,
Brnws unwrinkled by a care.
Eyes whose glance no evil speaks,
And their hyacinthine hair,
Like & lury in the air
Jctty trcsscs, golden curls,
Little girls, oh, little girls!
Very sweet are little girls
Little girls, oh. little girls!
Very fair are little girls
No fair thing as fair as they:
All the stars they do eclipse,
All the buds and blooms of May:
Rubies vie not with their lips,
Whence each word like honey drips;
And their teeth dim orient pearls.
Little girls, OH little girls
Very fair are little girls!
Little girls, oh. little girls!
Very pure are little girls
Pure and harmless as the dove,
Wingless angels dwelling here,
Full OF gladncss and Of love,
From some sinleSs upper sphere;
With as stainless hearts and clear
AS the leaves the rose unfurls.
Little girls, oh. little girls!
Very pure are little girls!
Little girls, oh, little girls!
Very dear are little girls
Dear to us rs to the bees
Are the honied summer flowers
Dear AS liberty or ease,
Or the light Of happy hours;
Or to the parched earth the showers:

THE PELT0N TRIPLE GEAR
HORSE POWER.

"IIEN well made, has never failed to
w render satisfaction to purchasers 1t
may, therefore, be put down as an established
fact that in all cases where the Power has
broken or worn rapidly, that the fact was IN
the manufacture, and not in the prineiple of
the Power. To any one not familiar with
the mechanism, one Peton Power looks like
another; one, though it looks strong and
heavy, breaks, while another, properly made :,
though light, cannot be broken. That no
Farmer shall have to rely on his own judg-
mcnt entirely in purchasing, we say to all if
You buy Il Power Of our make and 1t is broken
by fair usage during the first season, we will
repair it without charge. / it fails to render
satisfaction when operated according to plain
printed instructions furnished with the
machine, it may be returned. With this dis
tinctly understood. anything we might say
in praise of the Power would seem like
wasting words.
The TIIRASIIER is one of uncommon
strength and durability, being driven by rod
and gearing, doing away with the belt en-
trely, thus saving much power, and requir-
ing but very little skill in setting the machine.
