A Modern Samson.

In DR.. Alfred Booths "reminiscences of
Springfield, Mass, occurs the following
account of Deacon Hitchcock: "Born
in 1929, in the North Main street region,
he removed, while young man, into the
east part of the town, now known as
South Wilberham, married in 1743, and
was the first deacon of the church there,
continuing in Office many years. He is
we'll remembered by the Hon. Oliver B.
Morris, as occupying the deacon's seat at
meetings, his whitened locks giving him
quite venerable appearance. During .
long life he was of wonderful strength,
agility, and endurance, and had he lived
! in the palmy days of Greece, he would
have been a worthy competitor, in the
games of those days, 1t is related of him
that on one occasion, man riding by the
field, where he was at work, and boasting
Of the speed of his horse, was challenged
by the deacon, who said he could run to
Springfield quicker on foot than the horse
with his rider could. The test resulted in
the triumph of the deacon, distance ten
miles, time not stated. He would lift q
cart-load of hay by getting his shoulders
under the axle, in STOPPING posture, and
throw an empty cart over with one hand
by taking hold at the end of the axle.tree.
When loading grain in q cart he would
take bag by the teeth, and with swing
and the aid of push from the knee, throw
it into the cart. He had double teeth in
'front.' and would hold tenpenny nail by
them and break it off with his fingers.
He used to say he did not know man he
could not whip or run away from. The
day he was seventy years old he remarked
to his wife that when they were first mar
ried he was wont to amuse her by taking
down his hat with his toes, and added; Il
wonder if | could do it now" Thereupon
he jumped from the floor, took off his hat
with his toes, came down on his feet like
a cat, hung up the hat ON the nail, turned
to the table, asked blessing and ate of
the repast then ready"

Mendlng a Rag Carpet.

Mrs II. Nj. r., of Columbia county,
Pennsylvania, sends number of sugges-
tions in matters relating to economy in the
household, OF which we at present give
the following; "One moring last winter,
as Henry took some hot Goals out of the
sitting room stove to start q fire In the
kitchen, be dropped nearly half of them
on my new rag carpet, and burned seven
or eight holes from one TO two inches In
diameter. At first did not know what
TO do, but soon made up my mind to try
20 mend them, and think succeeded ad.

could not be- seen half way across the
room, and they would never be noticed By
any one unless his attention was called TO

far as they were the least bit tender with
the heat, then went TO the rag drawer, and
selected rags as near the color Of those

yarn like the warp, for made the carpet

Outdoor Cellars.

THE practice of storing large quantities
of vegetables in the cellar of q farm house,
even If it is of sufficient capacity, is very
pernicious The process of decay which
commences very soon after they are pu.
in, generates poisonous gasses, which can
but prove detrimental 10 the denizens of
the house. .t
The necessity of good root cellar Is
felt on all farms where roots are raised for
the more economical keeping of stock, and
nothing on farm is more useful thar such
cellar. A sandy hill side, where 1t can
be found, is the most convenient location,
and in such place cellar can be con-
structed very cheap. ......-..-
We believe that farmers would find such
a cellar TO pay well, If for no other use
than for the temporary storage of pota-
toes. A man who has such a cellar in a
side hill, where the potatoes can be
dumped in from the upper side, can bid
defiance to the weather, securing his crop
as dug, to be afterwards barreled or loaded
for market at his leisure. In no way can
patatoes be harvested 80 rapidly as by
picking them up as dug, without sorting,
loading them into cart, and hauling
them at once to the cellar, to be afterwards
sorted in weather unsuitable for outdoor
work. ss.Iu 1fts
If the market is unsatisfactory in the
fall, the crop can remain until spring, and
then be removed. If the cellar can be
made near, or in connection with the barn,
so much the better, and we advise all
farmers who have not such cellar already
to lose no time in constructing one.
Dig into the side hill, throwing the dirt
in convenient place for banking; build
the wall with stone, il handy; if not
plank the sides or put up slabs. Make a
Strong roof OF plank, that will hold earth
enough to keep out the frost. Put in your
roots, and ii they are to be removed be-
fore winter, nothing more will need to be
done. If they are to remain through
winter, cover the roof with foot of earth
and straw, and all is safe Ir -. -E=r-
1t is an experiment worth trying, and
one which, we think, no one will regret
making.--AmericdR Farmer. ssuf

Bees in Winter.

JF two c0lonieaare 10 be united, II can
be done most easily BY taking away the
queen OF one a week OF more before unit
ing them. We find bees never quarrel II
one of the hives Is queenless A week
after the queen is taken, put the frames
best filled Into one hive, shaking All the
bees OF the remaining combs before the
entrance, and put them away for another
season, and the thing is done. ,loHi es1
If bees are In box hives, we would not
unite them untn they are put into winter
quarters then IL Is only necessary 10 turn
one hive bottom upwards and put the other
on top of H. In a. few days all tho bees
from the bottom hive will coup into tho
top one, and all together will carry the
stores up there. We used often TO make
one good colony out OF two weak ones, In
this way. II will be the case this season
we think, that many colonies will be
strong in numbers, though with little
honey. The early frost has put an end "a
hopes Of these supplying their lack Of
stores, but these are the colonies that will
pay TO feed. Give them some aid now
and keep one of the bee-feeders full Of
syrup near them all winter, and you will
find them paying back your care with in
terest. When there are abundant stores
but the bees are few, more bees may be
given from q weak colony. Without O
good cluster of bees they cannot protect
themselves from cold. Bees die of cold
more frequently than of starvation in this
country. d., .,.......
Examine your bees some morning after
a frosty night, and you can tell exactly how
large the cluster is Remember, however
that the bees decrease fast in numbers aftef
FROST comes. Some would have bees car.
ried to winter quarters very soon after
they cease TO gather stores in the fall, and
we are not sure but this may be the
best way.--Ars Topper, in IO,od Home
