Small Fruit Wines.

To make good wine from blackberTies,

berries, is simple process. Mach the
fruit fine in gallon of boiling water to each

and, after standing twenty -four hours,
strain and pat into a cask and deposit in
to a cellar. II, after fermentation, it should
be rocked of and oorked up in bottles.

When to Harvest.

Grain is not usually cut early enough
The practice lie TO let the field become thor
Oughly golden before going in with the
sickle. And yet it has been demonstrated
that wheat cut when just out of the milk,
and securely shocked, will yield plumPer
berry, that will weigh heavier and sell bet
ter than if it had stood in the field till dead
ripe. Besides this, 1t will be harvested
more easily, give more time for re-seeding.
and afford straw much more valuable, as it
will come out fresh, green and fragrant.--
The practice of the early cutting of grain
has become general at the East. Western
farmers seem yet TO be afraid of a good
thing.

Curing RaY.

The murky skies Of England, says an
exchange. place great obstacles in the way
Of making good hay. A new system has
lately been proposed by Mr.. Alexander
Forsyth, which consists in twisting the
grass into ropes, and winding these ropes
around wooden core or mandrel, so that
when the latter is removed the rope form
hollow cylinders. At 6rst sight, it would
seem that this process must be very ex-
pensive one but it is claimed that these
hollow cylinders Of hay occupy so little
room that they may be dried under cover.
and when so covered they retain tie pro-
perties Of fresh grass in such perfection
that the improvement more than compen-
peusates for the increased cost. The hay
is said to be beautifully green and highly
fragrant.

Josh Billings on Hens.

Hens lead me to remark in the fust place,

There il a great deal ov originality, tew,

and sum say he didn't. So it goes, which
and tother.
kant tell you which was born fust the
hen or the egg sumtimes think the egg
wuz-and sumtimes think don't kno,
and kant tell now which is right for the
life Of me.
Laying eggs is the hens best grip.
A hen that kant lay eggs-iz laid out.
One egg day is considered fair days

The poet SEE. butifully:
''Sumbody haz stole our ole blew hen,
I'd wish they d let her bee,
She used to lay 2 eggs day,
And Sundays she lays g."
This sounds trew enuf for poetry, but

This bet stands open until the nth day

Work or starve.

This is the law and the panalty from
which there is no escape. Thousands are
trying to evade it some by making their
fellOwmen work for them, others by depend
irg on money inherited or accumulated in
former years, but without avail. If idle,
they starve in the midst of plenty. They
may eat to the full, but eating without ex-
ercising is against the law of Nature, and
very soon the stomach refuses to digest the
food, the body is nourished and the man
literally starves though he feels no hunger.
The hands, the brain and the heart must
work to live. If you dodge the labor of
learning lessons, you at the same time miss
the strength of intellect which mental work
brings, and the mind will pine for the want
Of nourishment. Thousands have starved
their wits in this way. until they wonder
how it is that others carry away all the pri-
yes of life. Many starve their hearts by
never exercising them with noble emotions.
Selfshness eats into the nature like can
ker leaves the man hungry for affection /;
but love is the price for love, and be that
will not work in this field must accept the
penalty. 1t is an error to think that work
was penalty imposed on man for having
violated Gods command. Mans nature is
such that activity is the law of his being
Every muscle and nerve calls for employ
ment, that it may remain in health, and
there can scarcely be a more terrible pm
ishment than solitary confinement, where
the eye, the ear and the hands must remain
idle. A slow and painful death will surely
result. So, then, boys and girls, strive to
love work and not to shun it, Though you
may be as rich as Astor or Stewart in mon
ey, yet your own nature will suffer the pangs
of poverty without sctive exercise.

The Supervisor System.

Messrs. Editors:-It would appear
from the last article Of Republican,
that my suspicion, as to his meaning Of
the word INSTRUCT" was well founded,
for he says it means ''to teach" "to train
up" Now, Sirs, have no objection to
the Board teaching the members of the
legislature all they can, and will admit
that legislatures might be better inform
ed than they are. Ibelieve it the privi-
lege and the duty of the members of the
Board, "or any other man." to petition,
write to, telegraph to, or teach in any
ether way. the members Of the lccisa
ture. Had the Board contented itseIf
with resolution giving their opinion
or advice In any matter, no one could
object. and probably that is all they in
tended to do;. but when they use word
which In that connection j. always sun
posed TO mean "to direct" or "order,,n
they must not complain If they are un-
derstood to mean what they say. be-
lieve in the right of any people to in
struct representatives, but do not
recognize the Board rs 1.-THE people" Of

statute duties, only ve"y respectable

their advice to our representative s should

Esy-"Obscrver," the Washington co,

Esy"Observer," the Washington cor
respondent OF the Davenport Gazette,
gives the following views of the proba-
bic chances of Chase or Giant being
nominated for the office of President :
The Presidential question is the chief
one among political gossipers. Since
Gen. Grants private letter to the presi
dent was published. all questions about
his status seem To have been dissipated.
The movement in favor Of Chief Justice
Chase is, without doubt, very strong
one, and the news we have here from the
South, indicates almost q unanimous
feeling in his favor among southern 10Y
aists, but this preference was shown
before Grant was talked of, and does not
result from comparison of the two at
this time and does not embrace the ques.
tons rs to availability. | have heard
many of these Chase men talk, and
while they admire him beyond all 9TH
err men of the time, they feel great con-
fidence in Grant, and are assured that
he will make good President and a
perfectly cafe one.
The growing favor for Grant in the
North j. speeding daily. One of the
New York Tribune staff who has exam
lned the immense mass of Republican
exchanges sent to that paper, says, that
SO far AS he has gone, sixty three jour-
nails have expressed their preference for
Grant, thirteen for Chase, four for Sher-
idan and four scattering.

will warrant the statements, l think,
that Liiree-fourths of the Republican
members favor Grant. It IL said the
