is another sweet dose for loyal men to

years to destroy the Constitution. The
rebellion failed. and laws were passed

~ Montgomery Blair recently made
q speech to the Virginia sristocracy, in
which be told them that the res son why
his brother Frank would not accept the
Republican nomination for Vice Presi-
dent, in 1860. was that he did not care
to be associated with Lincoln. This
will sound rich to those who remember
how hard Frank. Montgomery, and the
old man. ell worked for bis nomination.
and failed to secure it for him. Bot how
will those persons who have any respect

~ The Trenton (Tenn.) Gazette
learns from reliable source, that wo-
man in Obion County recently went to
the spring to wash. taking with ber three
small children. The dog barked at some
thing under log, snd one of the boys
thrust bis hand under, and something bit
him. The other then put bis ander, with
the same result. pulling ont a rsttlesnake
with its faugs fastened upon his hand.
The mother, hearing their cries, went to
their rescue, leaving the other child at
the spring. which fell in a tub of water
and was drowned. The two boys died
from the effects of the snake. bite, that
night. From an equally reliable source
we learn that the mother was so shocked
by the death Of her children, that she " as
attacked with convulsions, and died next
day.
The above heart-rending calamity has
occurred annually. for great number Of
years past. in Indiana. Illinois. and va
ous other States. We always welcome
it as an old acquaintance, yet We cannot
refrain from weeping whole skilletfuls OF
tears at the sad story. If that is the
same old snake. he must have at least Q
hundred and fifty rsttles on his tail by
this time.

TOMATO NINEGAR-We find the fol-
lowing receipt for the manufacture of To
mato Vinegar in an exchange it is stated
that excellent vinegar is made in this
manner
Take one bushel Of ripe tomatoes, wash
them in an open tub, and add one quart
of molasses that weighs eleven pounds to
the gallon, and thoroughly mix tie whole
together, in which condition let the tub
stand several days, not neglecting to fire.
quently stir the mixture in it. When a
decided vinegar odoI is given of, the juice
should be strained from the pomaoe and
put into casks and let stand uotil lhe pro-
cess is completed. Vinegar thus made is
equal to the best, and to succeed in its
manufacture only requires to faithfully
follow out these directions.

CUTTING TIMBER IN AUGUSTA cor
respondent of the Rural american says
"If oak, hickory or chestnut be felled in
August, in the second running of the sap,
and barked, quite large tree will season
perfectly, and even the twi2s will remain
sound for years whereas that cut 10 win
ter, and remaining until the next fall, (as
thick as your wrist,) will be completely
sap-rotten, and will be almost unfit for any
purpose. The body of the oak split into
rails will not last more than ten or twelve
years. Chestnut will last longer, but 10
comparison to that cut in August. Hick-
cry cut in August is not subject to be
worm eaten, anG will last long sine for
fencing. When began farming In 1902,
it was the practice te cut timber for post
fencing III the winter. White oak posts
and back oak rails, cut at that time, would
cot last more than 10 or II years. 10
1903, l began cutting fence timber ib
August. Many of the oak rails cut that
year are yet sound, as well as most Of the
chestnut. If the bark is not taken off this
month, it will of itself peel off the second
or third year, and leave the tree perfectly
sound. The tops Of the trees are also
more valuable for fuel, than when cut in
winter or spring. l advise young farmers
to try the experiment, and if post fences
do not last twice as long, l will forfeit all
my experience as worthless"

RURAL AXIoMs.-An axe costing 50,
With which laborer may cut fifty cords
of wood month, is cheaper tool than an
axe costing one dollar, and with which he
can cut only forty cords
A ''cheap plough" at s5, costing in one
season SO in repairs, aud So more in lost
time TO teams, men, and by retarding crops,
is dea-er plough than one atS1O, requir-
ing no repair.
A cow bought for $40, whose milk but
pays for her keeping, affords less profit
than one at $50, that gives double the
amount of milk afforded by the other.
A ten acre field, costing fifty dollars per
acre, aud ditching, manuring and improv
ing fifty dollars more, so as to give double
crops, is much more valuable and prohta-
bic than ten acres unimproved, costing
double the money.

Go TO FARMING.-A good living is
what paratively few men succeed in
making in village or city lite, and yet no
thing is more easy of accomplishment on
the farm. Besides, there is pleasure In
cultivating aud embellishing the earth,
improving and increasing its products,
and thus adding to the aggregate of hu-
man happiness. Why, then, should young
men hesitate to become farmers 1t is
both profitable and honorable. 1t is the
nearest approximation TO independence,
that man, as a member of society, can
make. A gentleman farmer-and all
farmers are, or should be, gentlemen
belongs to an order of nobility that is not
indebted to place-holders for its installa-
tion, and may, if he chooses, be ranked
among the greatest beDefactOrs of the hu-
man race. Let all idle young lnen go to
work on farms, and quit seeking third and
fourth rate clerkships. In short, GO to
farming and quit begging.
