Farmer Slack.

We have word to say to you, Farmer
SlaCk-but 50 many Of you answer to this
name, that we shall have to speak quite
loud to make you all hear. Well we will
talk to one Of you, and the rest will then
understand what we would say to all
You say that il is hard times, and that
cultural paper Now, you know, or ought
to know, better than that. Money has
never before been SO plenty among farmers
since the landing of our forefathers at
Plymouth Rock, and it is nothing but sheer
lazness and slaCkness in your business
that keeps you so poor. You are constantly
behind time in all you attempt to do. Last
spring, your neighbors' oat crops were
growing fresh and green, before your oat
land was plowed 1t was about the same
with your potatoes and corn and how can
you expect a good crop with such manage
ment?
But you are not only too late in planting,
hut you don't half cultivate your crops,
when they are up and growing. We took
a long look at your corn yesterday, and we
found the weeds the tallest and the mpsi
thrifty Your hired man was under the
fence asleep, with his hoe by his side, and
he said you had gone off to a horse race !
Now, this wretchcd management is what
makes hard times with you F.; and unless
you amend your ways, you and your whole
family will wind up in the Poor House
Can't afford to take an agricultural paper,
at $50 or $2 a year; Why, sir, you would
have saved three dollars, at least, if you
had stayed at home yesterday, attended to
your corn, and kept your man at work, as
you should have done
We hear that you generally lose about
half OF your poor crops, in consequence of
your not having good fences and it is a
wonder that you do not lose all of them, if
the fence between your corn and pasture
lot is sample of your other fences. There
is not good strong rail i'll the whole of it.
We also notice that your plows, cultiva-
tor, horsc-rake and wagons are left in the
road, to be ruined, the timber cracking in
decay Men who read agricultural pape 5
don't manage their affairs in this way
They don't expect that all that is published
III such papers will apply to every farmers
case but they find great deal Of infor
nation in them that is useful, and they
learn how the best, and most successful
farmers, all over the country, cultivate
their lands, and a single article is often
worth the subscription price for many
years, 10 progressive farmers.
Now, Mr.. Slack, you say that you have
been farmer 30 years, and you think that
you know great deal about farming and
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-11-16

to be plain with you, that is what's the
matter. You know too much, in your own
estimation and the country is full of just
such men as you, who never become rich,
or even comfortable in circumstances.
Their wives drag out miserable existence,
and their children grow up ignorant lousy
and ragged, and the result is, that they be-
come disgrace to humanity, and all be-
cause their father was to wise to subscribe
for a good rural paper, which would, if its
precepts were acted upon, cause such fam
lilies to live in opulence, while their sons
would become, perhaps, members of Con-
gress, and their daughters married to the
best men Of the land.

SALT IN FArTENING SwINE-A correspon-
dent states some interesting experiments
to test the use Of salt in fattening swine
He selected two pairs of barrow hogs,
weighing 200 lbs apiece One pair re-
ceived, with their daily allowance of food,
two ounces of salt the other pair, SINH
larly fed, none. In the course of week,
it was easily seen that the salted pair had
much stronger appetite than the others,
and after a fortnight it was increased to
two ounces apiece. After four months, the
weight of the salted hogs was $50 lbs
each, while that Of the umsalted, five weeks
later, reached only 300 lbs. The expert
mcnt was repeated with almost precisely
the same results. The correspondent feeds
young pigs according to their age, quar-
ter of an ounce daily breeding sows very
little during pregnancy, and during the
heat of summer withhods it in degree
from all, as it induces thirst and liability

BLEEDING HoGs.-A recent writer says :
Bleeding is a remedy for most of the dis
eases to which the hog is liable, and one of
the best places to bleed a hog is in the
roof Of the mouth. He objects to bleeding
from the artery inside the forearm Just
above the knee, because it is more difficult
to stop the flow of blood there than in the
roof of the mouth. In the latter place it is
stopped by applying a cloth well saturated
with cold water

TIE PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR OF SOUTH
Observation-Disclosures franklin Perry, the
Provisional Governor OF South Carolina,
was born In that State In 1905, and Is de-
scended from Massachusetts family OF
the same name. He was bred to the law,
but at an early age took politics In hand
and was some time editor Of an anti-nulli
flcation paper published In Greenville.
Like many OF his class In the South he had a
duel with political opponent and killed
his man. He was defeated for Congress
In 1889, and for some time thereafter he
applied himself to the practice of the legal
profession. A sketch of Gov. Perry says
OF his history subsequently,;
SIN 1886 he was elected TO the State Leg
isllture without opposition, aud In 1888
was again returned. While holding this

The YsLLow FBVBR PLor.-It appears
by q publication in the Halifax (Nova
SCotia,) Citizen, that the public sentiment
Of that community has been painfully
aroused by an imputstion that certain OF
the medical men of the city were in some
degree implica ted In the yellow fever plot
of DR. Blackburn. The substance Of the
charge, as published In the Sun newspa-
per was "that Blackburn freely discussed
with several medical gentlemen here the fea-
si6leness Of adopting the very plot Of which
he Is accused;" and again, shat 1t was
known to come men In this city, after
Blackburn's return from Bermuda, that
1.-THE fever plot-was part OF his project.
SubseQu=nt correspondence brought out
the fact that Drs. Jennings and SlAyter
were the medical gentlemen" referred to .
The Nova Scotia Medical Society appoint
ed . committee to investigate the charges
made by the San. From the report of
this committeeit would appear that there
was no foundation for the imputation up
on the medical professor of Halifax. DR. g..
Topper, to whom the editor Of the S'Sr
referred as authority, declares that he never
made a statement that any medical man 10
Halifax, either before or after DR.. Black
burns return from Bermuda, knew any.

In conversation that the disease could b,
communicated by infected clothing, and
this led 10 the belief that he had attempted
1t. The two gentlemen implicated, Drs
Jennings and siayter, also made sffidavi

We find the following lines, attributed to Maj.
Gen. Dix, in the Citizen Of this week;
Fair Appoquoquei how of I've trod,
In dreamy thought, thy sand .glrt plain,
Pond ring the wondrous work Of Cod
The land, the sky, the pathloss main.
In other days u pleased me more
To scale tho cloud capped mountains height,
To hear the raging torrent roar
Types Of the great Creators might.
But now In placid scenes love
The same creative power TO trace;
The outspread earth and skies above
Bmblems OF endless time and space.
That misty line, where sinks the sky
And leaves the oceans breast sublime,
Seems but the goal, 10 fancy's oye,
That parts eternity and time.
Behold that narrow none Of sand
Clrcling the never. resting sea,
That pours Its pillows over the strand
In loud, majestic minstrelsy.
Frail barrier to thee IT'S given
To grid the mighty waters round,
To hold them back, when, tempest driven,
They seek to pass thy friglle bound.
With man 3 proud wealth the ehapgeful sea
That sandy girdle loves to deck
Here sleeps the sunken argosy,
lIcremarks the mast the buried wreck,
When bursts the sea- storm on tho shore
And piles up mounds OF glitering sand
In those We see, In these adore
The works OF an Almighty hand.
Prom these bleak sands spontaneous shoot
Fresh forms Of created life
The spear shaped grass, the clustering fruit,
Born OF tho elemental strife
But better in thy calmer wood
Fair Appoquoquoi thy lelds love,
When reigns a peaceful quietude
On land below and skies abova
