Late Autumn Work.

THE vegetable garden should be put in
perfect order for next springs operations.
Clear away the rubbish, throw the soil, if
heavy and rich, into ridges, secure
thorough drainage, and make large and
compost heap for the future. There is no
better fertilizer for the garden than sod
piled and mixed with woods mold, barn
yard manure with sprinkling of plaster,
and permitted to decay until all seeds Of
weeds are destroyed Light garden soil
may be benefited by an admixture of clay,
but heavy soils, which are of more fire.
quert occurrence, may be greatly inn
proved by the addition of pure sand or a
light loan. Early vegetables are great
desideratum, and these may be grown on
the south side of tight board fence or
stone wall Whitewash should be applied
to the fence and the soil at its base made
rich, dry and porous. Cut off the sweep of
chilling winds, and reflect the suns rays
to the soil, and the climate is thereby mod
flied several degrees. Cover asparagus
beds with litter to be raked off in the
spring, and prepare the ground for the
very earliest sown seeds, so that the rake
will quickly put it in order to receive
them.
The strawberry bed should be cleaned
and mulched. By all means protect the
crowns of the plants through the winter,
but do not forget to give them air early
in the spring. Berry bushes should be
cut back, the old wood removed, and the
tender varieties carefully bent to the earth
over furrow or ridge thrown against one
side, and then slightly covered. We are
convinced that heavy crops of blackberries
and raspberries might often be gathered
in the place of light ones from bushes that
appear to have wintered well, if protec-
ton were afforded during the cold weather.
A plant is something like an animal it
will sometimes exist without shelter and
appear quite hardy, but give it adequate
winter protection and it becomes profit
able. Dwarf trees and young standards
should be guarded against the depreda'
tions of mice ard rabbits Clear away
dead grass or litter, if any be there, from
the collars of the trees, and surround them
with some protection which the. vermin
cannot penetrate. Lath fastened together
with wire, tarred pasteboard or thick pa
per will generally be convenient for the
rchardist-RurdI american.

Colts Need Care in Winter.

CARE is essential for the proper winter
ing Of any kind Of stock, but especially
requisite in the case of colts. Some allow
colts to struggle on among cattle and
sheep and store hogs, deeming them COM
petent to fight their own way through, no
matter how rough their treatment may be,
nor how much they may be robbed at the
stated periods Of feeding. They, besurs,
when thus treated, manage to worry
through, but 1t is at the expense of that
development which the season should
bring to them. The aim should be, when
colts are weaned, to keep them from fall
ing away in flesh, but this cannot be &C
complished by hap-hazard management.
They require shelter during storms, and
suitable food and plenty of it, till the re-
turn of the season of verdure shall enable
them to range in search Of that congenial

Cabinet Organs.

The success Of the Mason g Hamlin
Organ Company, now the largest manu-
facturers Of instruments Of this class in
the world, illustrates what can be done by
energetic and persevering pursuit of right
principles in business The following are
what may be said to be ArtGcges Of tte64
Constitution, to be kept always in view,
and never deviated from:
/. Excellence in the manufactured arti-
Gle must never be sacrificed to economy
in cost The best, only and always.
2. No degree of superiority shall be
considered satisfactory so long as improve
ment is possible.
3. The use of every valuable invention
and real improvement must be obtained,
at whatever cost.
4 Productions to be sold at lowest
possible prices; these to be printed
and offered to all alike thus dealing fairly
and impartially with the public.
This Company have expended an I'M
mense amountin experiments for improve
ments, in which they have been greatly
successful, developing, enlarging, improv-
ing and adding to the well known Melo-
de5ns Of former times, until they have
become hemagnifcent MASON & HAAlLIN

which was awarded the Paris Exposition
Medal, for superiority, last year.
This month they introduce an impor-
tant Improvement, the MASON 81 HAMLIN

vention, which is said to be as great an
advance upon the VoS Hstms0oG already
used as the Cabinet Organ is upon the
Melodeon. They also announce impor-
tant reduction in prices, offering their
unequaled Organs at prices which are
even less than those commonly demanded
for inferior workmanship. This is the
natural result Of their greatly increased
facilities for manufacture, and fixed rule
to sell at smallest profit. Roof & CADY,

AN exchange says: 1t is convenient TO
farmers and purchasers to have an easy
and correct rule by which to measure corn
in cribs. Here is one: Having leveled
the corn in the crib, measure the length,
breadth and depth, and multiply them to-
gether, and deduct from the product one
fifth, and you have the number Of bushels
in the ear; for shelled corn take one'hall.
ToIbe strictly correct, add half bushel for
every one hundred. Persons who are
fond of cyphering can test the correctness
of this rule by taking 1878 solid inches
for foot, and 1850 inches in bushel'
and see that the latter is nearly .one-flfth
larger than the former"

Collecting Manure.

THE collection and application of ma
nure should go on continually, for the
grasses and cereals and all kinds OF culti-
waited plants make an annual draft on the
soil for the ingredients which enable them
to build up their stems, foliage and seeds.
No liquid or solid suited for enrlchlng
the soil, should be allowed to go to loss
about the homestead. Soap-suds, wood
ashes, SCOT, charcoal, sawdust, etc, may be
applied to the soil with much benefit to
the crops. Leached wood-ashes are very
useful for top dressing grass land--deep-
ening the color of the plants and increass-
ing their productiveness, SO much as to
double the agreeable yield of hay whenev-
er they are applied in sufficient quanti-
ties Western Rural.

Watching Ones Self.

"WHEN was boy" said an old man,
eve had schoolmaster who had an odd
way of catching idle boys. One day he
called out to US:
"' Boys, I must have closer attention
to your books. The first one Of you
that sees another boy idle, want you to
inform me, and win attend TO the case
"Ah, thought to myself, there is Joe
Simmons that don't like. I'll watch him,
and if see him look off hia book I'll tell.
It was not long before I saw Joe look off
his book, and Immediately informed the
master
Indeed said he, how did you know
he was idle?'

Natures Hreat Ally.

1t took the world nearly two thousand years to
discover and remedy one of the most fatal errors
that mankind has ever believed in. From the
time of Galen to comparatively very recent date,
it supposed that, in order to cure disease, it
was necessary to weaken the already enfeebled
patient by artificial means. Bleeding, blistering,
violent purgation and salvation were the main
reliance of the faculty, not more than fifty years
ago. Restoratives were only administered as sup
Elementary agents, after the lancet, cantharides,
jaap and calomel had done their depicting work.
Modern science has effected a salutary reform in
medical treatment. In place of the nauseous
doses once administered in cases of indigestion,
biliensness, constipation, sick headache, nervous
ness, intermittent fever, &c, HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BTFTERS are now given with the
utmost confidence and the happiest results. The
reason why this admirable botanical preparation
has superseded the facilitating poisons of the old
n'0tegiG nedicG are these: 1t combines the proper
ties of wholesome tonic with those of a gentle
cathartic, an anti-bilious agent, nervine, and a
blood depurent. Thus, while it keeps the bowels
free regulates the liver. and purifes the current
of fe it sustains the physical strength of the in

and the restoration of constitutional Yigor go on

JoHNsoN's MESSAGE is as full of absurdities
and inconsistencies as of insults to the Anne
rican people. He says that "Our national
credit should be sacredly Observed" and hs
follows up this declaration by proposing that
the principal of the national debt should be
extinguished by the moneys paid for interest.
He denounoes and exaggerates the public ex-
penditures, forgetting that he himself signed
all the appropriation bills passed since April,
1866, Notwithstanding his numerous vetoes of
other laws, and ignoring the fact that the
appropriations were nearly all based upon
estimates made by his own Administra-
tiOn, which, however, were in many instances
greatly reduced. He also strangely supple
ments his declaration against the large expen-
ditures of the Government by proposing to
purchase more foreign territory. In one

League Island,

THE Attorney General havin passed upon the
title OF the city of Philadelphia to League
Island, and reported that it is sound and unen-
numbered, the formal and final transfer of the
great Iron-clad Navy Yard site will be fully
contaminated in a few days. The Federal
Government will then be placed in possession
of piece of property which is emihently
adapted to all the requisites of an iron-clad
naval station. From the fret tender of the
property to the United States by this city, the
movement has encountered the b;tterest oppo-
sition by persons in and out of the Govern
ment who were interested in having other
localities fixed upon. But, after all, the true
interests of the country were consulted, and
the Navy Yard for iron-clad vessels of war
located at the point which was unquestionably
the most suitable, with view to safety,
economy, and convenience. Philadelphia has
Just cause to be gratifed at the result.

The indignant denunciations in Congress
and in the press of the Presidential scheme of
repudiation will 60 far to satisfy the national
creditors, at home and abroad thatthe solemn
decision pronounced in November last, that
all the obligations incurred by the war should
be faithfully discharged, will be executed.
The most probable explanation of Andrew
Johnson's motives is that he prepared por-
tions of his message rather as texts for future
stump speeches as candidate for United
States Senator in Tennessee before semi-rebel
audiences at Confederate Y Roads, than as
official advice and information to Congress.
Having swung around the circle once from the
lowest Office to the highest, he is preparing
for a return trip, which is to begin by can
vass for a seat i'll the Senate, and may end i II
