WHAT THE FARMER MUST kNow.-The
farmer. like the business man, must
keow what he is doing; he must have
some pretty decided idea Of what he
is to accomplishing fact, must calcu-
late it beforehand.
lie must know his soil-that of each
lot; not only the top, but the subsoil
He must know what grains and
grasses are best adapted to each
He must know 'chen is the best time
to work them, whether in the fall or
spring, or whether they need summer
following.
He must know the condition in
which ground must be, when plowed,
so that it be not too wet or too dry.
lie must know that some grains re-
qiire earlier moving than others; and
what those grains are.
lie must know how to put them in.
He must know that it pays him to
have machinery to aid him instead of
of muscle.
lie must know about stock, and ma
nurcs, and the cultivation of trees and
the small fruits, and many other things;
in a word, he must. know what. good,
experienced farmers know. Then he
will not guess-will run no risks.-Ru-

CL1Qrss.-These things are numer-
Gus everywhere. Different kinds OF
chlues exist in this country, but we
don't suppose that there are any polit-
cal cliqucs in Toledo at any rate
We have often heard Of such things
however. and proceed to transact bu-
siness about rs follows:
A meeting is called. Elder Quack,
moves that, Prof Sniffies, Capt. Glab,
Major Donkey and Wash Nibblc-at-
the-public- crib, be appointed com
mittee on arrangements. This OF
course comes in after Joseph Aspirant
/ is called to the chair and Esq, Stick
his-nose-into- otler-peoples- business-ex-
ccpt-his-own, appointed Secretary
Wash then moves that Col. Jock, who,
it is said, commanded the CLONE Brig
ade,' Capt. Shocks and Elder Blow
hard Of the same Brigade" the latter
as chaplain, be appointed a committee
on correspondence. Slowly things SO
along, but few ''chugs in the short
ribs of these fellows, by those who
rant something done, and don't choose
to have so much OF the "sly corner
pulling nose process going on, wakes
them up and speakers are procured
Another meeting is held, and Wash is
again found in his place, moves that
the same distinguished Aspirant, be
appointed chairman and also the big
man for Secretary. Sniffles, Blab,
Donkey and Nibble &c are again on
the committee of arrangements.
Jock, Snooks and Blowhard the
"Home Guard" men, are again on com
mittcc of correspondence. They all
''huddle themselves up in a heap" and
make out the political slate are sure
to mark their pictures thereon That's
the way they did in 1866. We will
follow them through the years 1867
and 1868, we suppose Shocks, Blow
hard and Prot. Snitfles will most likly
be around.
