Independence.

We come With hearts Of gladness,
To breathe our songs Of praise,
Let not q note Of sadness
Be blended In the lays;
For it's hallowed story,
The theme Of freedoms birth,
Our fathers deeds Of glory,
Are echo d around tho earth.
The sound is waxing stronger,
And thrones aud nations hear,
Kings may Cypress no longer,
For Freedom reign is near,
Her name will crush oppression,
And raise the humble mind,
And give the earth s possession,
Among the good and kind.
And thou shalt sink the mountains,
Where pride and power were crown d,
And peace, like gentle fountains,
Shall shed its pureness round:
And then the world will hear W
And join our glorious lay,
And songs Of millions cheer Us,
On this our nations day.
Soon freedom loud hosannas
Shall burst from, every voice,
Till mountains and savannas
Roll back the sound-reioice;
Then raise the song Of freedom,
The loudest sweetest strain,
The captivc's chains arc rivcn
And liberty shall reign.

Facts for the Farmers and Gar.
denerS.

Enslishmon farmers believe that hillius
up potatoes reduces their yield one fourth.
They do not ripen a. well.
SoN soap suds will be found valuable for
gardens and yards Of sandy SOIL -and almost {
any other, for all that. Suds from bar soap
ore Of less value.
Every farmer ought to know that cut
nails, heated rcd hot and dropped into cold
water will clinch as well as wrought nails.
Curants, to do their best, must be freely
prueued and heavily mulched. y
Beans ore most nutrious food for man
or beast. For men and hogs they should
be cooked, for sheep raw.
Many women arc becoming beo.keepers
and making money at it. They are not the
kind, however, that squeul at the sight Of
spiders. ..I
Sheep kept with cows are not 50 apt to be
killed by dogs as when alone. The cows
fight for them.
Potatoes can be grown much earlier by
sprouting them, in q warm bed, before
planting. Place them on layer Of manure
and cover them with sand Transplant the
middle Of May.
1t is said that the last cup Of milk drawn
from the COW "the strippiuss" contains
sixteen times as much cream as the first
cup. We will not vouch for the exact fig.
ures, but the true ones are large.
Iti just as easy to raise bushcl Of good
apples as a bushcl Of poor ones. What IL
adollar or two Of preliminary expenses in
getting good trees?
The Department Of Agriculture says that
ten million bushels Of wheat arc wasted in
this country annually by bad sowing-tod
deep, too shallow, too thick, too thin, too
uneven.
Clean out the cellars, =" about this time,"
and give them thorough airing. 1t is
about as safe to live over gunpowder mag.
azinc as tho filthy and poisonous odors Of
some cellars. But such stuff doscnt poison
your land-use it there.
