CLEANING TIN-WARE.

Acids should never be employed to
clean tin-ware, because they attack the
metal and remove it from the iron of which
it forms thin coat We refer to articles
made of tin plate, which consists of iron
covered with tin. Rub the article first
with rotten stone and sweet oil, the same
as recommended for brass, then finish with
whiting and piece Of soft leather. Arti-
cles made wholly of tin should be cleaned
in the same manner. In dry atmos-
phere planished tin-ware will remain
bright for long period, but they soon be-
come tarnished in moist air.

AGRICULTURAL.

ANNASO - Ohhbs
Cor. TATE.-
1t will be no less appropriate than
u may be instructive to have few re-
marks made public concerning our farmers
IN relation to their sowing and planting.
10 is fact truly remarkable that the gen.
oral;ty of the farmers believe in and are
governed by signs in planting their seed:
And ii is equally true, that some Of this
class are governed by certain signs who
others of the same class dsbelieye in.
Now, it is my purpose to show in as
concise and at the same time in as CON-
prehensive manner as the occasion will
permit those who entertain and practice
such erroneous views, that their positions
are unuterable and should be abandoned.
For instance believe when the moon
points up, is the proper time for planting
potatoes, and making fence; and when it
points down, for setting stakes and spread
ing flax and manure on meadows. And
others believe the reverse in regard 10
planting potatoes.
In the first place, shall remove the
foundation of their belief by asserting that
which no reasonable man will for a mo.
ment question, that the moon never points
up nor down in reality, but only in ap-
pearance. The moon acts on the earth
with force in proportion to its density
and the distance they are apart, And
this force is always attractive repulsive.
Hence, the foolish belief that if potatoes
are planted when the moon points down
apparently will have a downward tending.
But in order to show more plainly the in.
consistency involved in their theory, we
will admit that the moon does point up
and down alternately the year round, and
that it changes every two weeks. Is it not
obvious that in this case anything planted
when the moon points up would have an
upward tendency for two weeks and then
according to that principle would be 70, ced
back to its former position, and in this way
keep as it were on balance till harvested
My advice is to those entertaining such
false notions, to sow and plant their seed
at the right season and when the ground
is in good order regardless of signs. Pco-
pie ought to be governed more by reason
and less by such false notions. Is it not
reasonable to suppose that if anything is
planted when the moon points up and is
drawn with force sufficiently to draw it
through the ground that when drawn cut
would be more easily taken away from the
earth! Certainly, if the principle is good,
that would be the case. If any one will
take position against this Article and
will reply through the same Journal in
defense of the same, he shall be heard
But wish it distinctly understood that
shall have nothing to do with anything
that passes through the ''Smut Machi,,e,"
as style that paper, as consider its Ed
itor beneath the notice of any good honest
loyal person.

GRAND DEMOCRATIC Mass MEETING IN

Island and the surrounding country have
had rousing meeting to-day. Thousands
upon thousands thronged the streets of that
city in long professions, led by bands Of
music and under flags and banners. The
Hon. ]. G. Allen and many other able
speakers addressed the vast assemblage.
1t has been great day for the democracy
Of Rock Island county, and will have tell
ing effect upon the coming election. Little
Mac takes like wildfire across the river, and
the people there will give him hearty vote
and flattcring majority when they come
to vote.
