HINTS TO FARMERs-"BY "GIRLS."-
WHAT HOES TO UsE.-In planting or
hoeing corn, the ordinary hoes in gen.
eral use. Neither India rubber hose
nor cotton hose would be of account in
Il held; no more would one of Hoes
eight cylinder presses.
How TO HOLD THE PLow.-Don't try
to hold 1t out at arms length. You
can't do it.
fyon nin't plow of your own, get
out IN attachment on your neighbours
who owes you. Any Justice will tell
you whether you can hold it or not.
THE BEST TINE TO PUT IN RYE.-I
asked an old farmer once what was the
best time to put inrye? He looked at
his watch aud replied
"1hiS is about the hour"
The rye was Immediately put in.
All seasons are the same for putting
in rye.
How TO KEEP CoRN.-The best place
to keep corn Is in Corn-houSe, though
some prefer to keep 1t in the system-in
the juice, 1fthey don't keep corn they
keep Corned.
FENCES AND FEHC1N0.-GOod fencing
Is essential on farm. Get II good
fencing master" to learn you. A rail
fence Is better than an imaginary one.
You cnn't repair a tCOr1n fence by taking
vermifuge. Neither can you cut good
whitewash brushes out of a brush fence.
Mintzer can tell you that.
To MAKE YOUR STABLES WARM IN
WINTER.-Set fire to them.
To DRAIN LANDS.-Drink whisky,
and spend all your time at the viii
laHe tavern. This will drain YOU of all
your lands in II short time.
To MAKE STONE FENCE.-Equal parts
of whisky and cider. This is tho recip-
rocal stone fence; the more you lay of
it the more it will clay" you.
EASY WAY TO DRAW SAw-LoGs.-
Draw them on piece of paper with n
crayOn pencil. After little practice
you will be able to "draw" the largest
kind of saw-logs with ease.
PORK.-Packing thread is of no use
in packing pork. In curing hams the
time varies. Hams that have got tri-
china can't be cured at all.

THE Ogdensburg Daily Journal gives
the details OF a thrilling scene of peril
on the trip down the St. Lawrence, on
Wednesday last, of the steamer Lord
Elgin, which met with an accident that,
had 1t not been for the GOODNESS display
ed by Capt. Jacob Dewitt, might have
resulted in Il terrible disuster TO two
hundred passengers. She was passing
the Cedar Rapids, which are about two
miles long, when her rudder chain
snapped, and almost instantly she
struck rock. All was consternation.
After striking she floated sideways,
and the only chance OF safety lay in
rapidly reaching tho lower mouth OF
the gorge. capt. Dewitt Instantly or
dered all steam on, and with velocity
truly appalling, reached the open water
in safety.

IN a recent speech, Hon. H. T. Blow,
of Missouri, declared that johnson
abandoned the Republican party be-
cause he supposed It was becoming de-
moralIzed, and added: "He reminds
mo very much ofa boOzy fellow who
coach, but lurched from one side to the
other at fearful rate, until finally he
fell overheard, and his head stuck in
the mud. When tho driver sought To
extricate him, boozy asked how the
Stnge come TO upset. Why replied
tho driver, tho stage hasn't upset at
that wouldn't have got or laugh
teri And so, my friends, II Andrew
johnson hadn't supposed the Republi-
can Rtage was upset he wouldn't have
got off," [Great laughter.

OF Lincoln.


The Richmond Examiner is loud and
ca rnest in support of President John
son. 1t exults over his grand election
eering tour through the country on a
visit to the grave of Douglas, and says
that the "tribe OF apes, better known MS
Radicals" must get up a asimilnr grand
tour, or be overwhelmed at the cleo
no great leader to send on n mphant
tour. So it thus indeccntly and out
rageonsly speaks of Abraham Lincoln,
to whose death Andrew johnson owes
his elevation to the Presidency:
"We are afraid that the Apes will
have to go back to the middle ages for
n suggestion. In those days there were
fanatick pilgrimages in which certain
holy relicks were borne to attract and
inspire all the devout along the journey.

appears that Andrew johnson and
