A SMART FooL.--About fortnight ago q
man named John j. johnson, supposed to
be not much more than half witted, escaped
from the Kansas Penitentiary. For three
DAYS he remained in the immediate vicinity
of the prison, endcavoring to gain access to
his wife and child who were near. Being
discovered he made his escape into an adj
joining county. There he stole horse to
9 get back to his family. This horse he sold
and stole second, which was captured from
him. At the end of seventeen days, hiding
in the bush, he had secured his wife and
child, stolen three other horses within few
miles of the penitentiary walls, and, mount.
ing them, the three made their escape
When last heard from he had secured his
liberty, suit of citizens clothes, a roll OF
greenbacks, his family, and the means Of
transportation. almost under the prison walls

Feeding Hogs and Cattle.

We loose much valuable time IN feeding
by delaying too long to pen our hogs that
are to be tattened. The mild weather Of
early Fall is peculiarly favorable to putting
on fat, and the sooner such hogs as are in
tended Tor the pen are put in course OF
Improvement, the more economically they
will be fed. a gradual change from the
range in field and forest is better than sud-
den shutting up with full feed. They should
be brought, therefore, within small enclo
sure and fed moderately till they become
accustomed 10 the change. when their sup.
plies may be increased till they get as much
us they will eat.
If we would not consult the strictcst econ.
omy, but make the best meat. the iattenin"
should be completed in small grass lot
with running stream, or other abundant
supply Of water. and Il shelter open 10 the
South, where they may be always dry. There
is very great economy i'll the use Of well
ground grain, and cooking increases the val,
ne of the grain very much. II, in addition
to this, every pair be put into sty, raised
from the ground and well protected from
weather, the slrictest suggestions OF economy
will be observed. In this case The bottom
OF the pen shonld be open enough to let all
the droppngs pass freely through to litter

The same general principles are, ofconrsc,
to be observed in the feeding of cattle for
The butcher. Let it, therefore, be begun
early, and continued moderately, with con.
slant attention to the comfort Of the animal
in bad weather. Cows and store cattle

The Care Of Tools,

1t is lamcntable fact that nine ont of
every ten Of our farmers lose as much from
q want of proper care Of their tools as from
the actual wear and tear Of them.
Repeated wetting and drying spoils, sooner
or later, any kind of woodwork the mos-
ture getting into the cracks soon increases
them. This may be prevented by timely
and occasional application of some cheap
paint. Much has been said and written mp
on the value Of ol-houses, and it is hardly
necessary for me too add my might to the
general collection but providing the tool.
house is not all that should be done-the
shovels, spades and forks are brought into
the Dollhouse, with the dirt sticking to
them, and in that condition they remain
through the winter, or until they are again
needed.
All practical farmers know how much bet
ter u bright pillow turns the furrow, how much
easier it is on the team and driver, and vet
they will bring their plows and harrows in
every spring and fall, with the dirt sticking
to them, and allow them to remain in that
condition until again wanted much to their
own loss and expense.
There are various mixtures which might
be applied TO the iron to prevent rusling, the
cheapest of which is common tunSatted)
grease. A better article may be formed by
melting together six pounds of fresh mot

pot is a good thing to keep and compound
the mi tulc in.
As soon as the tool is done being used fol
the season, clean it off and give it a coat OF
the above mixture, and if it remains undis
turbed for years it will come out as bright as
when put away

The Florida Mounds.

Who built the numerous mounds that dot
all over the topography of the peninsula Of
Florida? We know that they were con
structed by msp-but what men What
race were they of? How long ago did they
live? What were their customs, habits, and
religion? What was the state of the arts
and civilization among them? Did they
have written language? And if SO, where
are its characters inscribed? To all such
queries the dumb, dead earth that covers
their ashes, will give no answer. We only
know they were once, and are not now
Neither written inscription nor oral tradition
can tell us when they tlourished, whence
they came, or why they have vanished.
Some years since we were present, and,
indeed, superintended the dlsembowelng of
one of these mounds, near'the now pleasant
town of Lake City, but then known as ALI
gator. Its summit had been crowned by an
ancient pine that had grown to several feet
girth, and battled with the storms of many
years. This was cut away, and the summit
twenty lcct. Below this level the workmen
found themselves disentombing the bones Of
all ancient race. In close proximity were
arrow heads, pieces of pottery, &c.
The best onjecturG we can form respect
ing original design and use of these tumuli
is that they were buryng places, reserved,
perhaps, for the rulers Of the people," and
each grew in its height and Dimensions in
proportion 10 the number OF length Of per
manent residence Of some uomad tribe that
Aourished centuries ago. In support Of this
conjecture it may be stated that some o!
these mounds which have been thoroughly
excavatcd, have shown several human skcl-
etons lying one on the other. =
There Is mystery in these ancient mounds
which the antiquar.aD aud;archcologist have

How to Rent q Farm.

The correct way to arrive at o fair price
for both parties is the following: Add the
value of the cultivated land and buildings
to the value of the stock and tools. If Il
renter has no benefit of woodland, the
growth Of timber and Increasing value of
the lands. will be an equivalent for the in.
terest on it. Now, il q renter agrees to pay
the proprietor, annually, six, seven, eight,
or more per cent. on the aggregate Of stock,
implements and farm, and keep thc soil in q
good state Of fertility, and make certain i'm.
provements every year, the proprietor will
receive better compensation than the rent
err. A renter could not make decent profit
on many farms. were he to hire them at six
per cent; while on others he could afford TO
pay twelve per cent. The productiveness
OF the soil must be taken into the account.
Then, the percentage must be lesscncd, in
proportion as a renter makes improvements
that will increase the value of the farm. If
he rents farm on u term of years, and Ger
tain improvements will benefit him as well
as the proprietor, each one should share in
the expense.
A written contract between the parties
should require the renter to adopt rotation
of crops adapted to the soil to allow moth.

trees in any way. The prices at which every
thing is valued in different localities render
II quite inconsistent to do anything further
than simply make suggestions on important
points, by which u fair contract for both
parties may be framed.
When a farm is worked on shares, the
proprietor should SO frame the contract that
hay, straw, cornstalks and other coarse ma
terial shall not lie carried off the soil r; and
he who works il should make and apply

NAPOLEON AND THE TICKET COLLECTOR,
A man, who is still stout and good servant
of the company in whose employ he has
been for some thirty years, was on duty one
night on the platform where he is still sta.
toned when the London train came in.-
Among the passengers was one gentleman
who missed his footing at the carriage door
just as the train was about to start, and fell
between the platform and the wheels. At
that instant the train moved on. Another
moment, and all would have been over; but
strong hand seized him, and twitched him
ON the platform; SO, with no moro injury
than fright and shaking the passenger
went ON his way. Had the ticket collector
not been there, Or had lie been less ready,
the history OF the world would have read
no man can say now differently; for the
traveller was-Louis Napoleon.
