To Prevent Tools from Rusting.

Thousands Of dollars are lost each year
BY the rusting of plows. hoes. shovels,
etc Some OF this might be prevented by
the application of lard and rosin to all
steel or iron Implements. Take three
times as much weight of lard as rosiD.
and melt them together. This can be
applied With brush or cloth to all sur
faces in danger OF rustipg, and they can
be easily kept bright. II tools are to be
laid away for the winter, give them a
coating of this, and you will be we'll re-
paid 1t can be kept for a long time,
and should always be on hand and ready
for use.

Pork.

According to all accounts we receive
from the West, the hog crop this fall will
be very large. Corn has been unusually
plenty, and hence the price is low. The
consequence is, that much is fed to raise
pork. Besides this one large market is
closed, namely, the South, and hence the
price is raaipg low. 1t is stated that it
will be sold as low as two dollars and a
half. These prices m ust affect the price
also in this region.
