out the whole of South Lincolnshire
the country is in "a fearful! state from

assemble in myriads on all green

The inhabitants about the fens are
suffering severely. Water, drawn
from n few fresh water rivers, is
hawked about and greedily purchas-

the natural springs are in great re-

many of the poorer classes is simply

The prices Of 1869, as compared

farmers would have received more

"Hard Times"

The farmer who owns his land, is
free from debt. and has to'erabIe i'm.
provements, cannot comprehend the
full meaning of tho term "hard
times" Hence, farming is the best
and surest vocation, for the mass OF
the people; IS a general result it does
not lead to wealth and luxury, but it
may certainly insure competence and
even abundance. To the jaded, un.
fortunate, unsuccessful business man
there is no prospect that looks so en-
ticing as that of beautiful farm,
well improved, fully stocked and
carefully titled. 1t is heaven of
rest, where the cOrroding care and
life sapping anxiety of city bust
ness are unknown; domain over
which he is king, and where he may
enforce his will undisputed by any
one The true pleasure of far
mer's vocation consists of his Inti-
mate relation to nature, and his pos
sessing Of all the rational enjoyments
OF life.
Why, then, do we hear the com,
plant from so large mass of the
farmers that "times are hard pr
The answer is, they are i'm debt
Debt is Il curse that entails far greater
hardship than the fiat which pro
nOunced the doom of man to till the
soil and earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow. War prices and war
currency afflicted large portion Of
farmers with greed of gain. which
they indulged 10y rlunging in debt.
They were not content with securing
good homes, putting them up in COM
fort and laying something by for
rainy day, but they grew lustfuI for
broad acres and luXuries which can
only be enjoyed in cities, and now
that reverse cut short expected in>
comes, the pressure of debt is felt, and
the cry is hard times"
If we could teach only one precept
with force to farmers, it would be
this: Make yourself independent.
Owe no man anything. Make your
business snug and safe, instead of
expensive and risky. Then you can
sit by your own hearth sides, and if
"hard times" looks in at the window,
you can laugh I'm his face.

How to Purify Cisterns.

Some time ago we gave directions
how the water should be preserved
pure and wholesome i'm rain. water
ci>ters. 1t was by letting the supply
pipe connect at the bottom of the
cistern. The fresh water being then
below that already in the cistern,
will force the stale water to the top,
so that it can be used before it be-
comes offensive.
1t is well known, however, that
cistern water becomes impure from
the organic matter il contains, and il
this can he got rid of by destroying
its vitality and precipitating 1t to tie
bottom, IL will leave the water pure.
IL is claimed that there is nOthir z
batter TO effect this thu II permaugan-
ate Of potassa, used in proportion III
about an ounce TO fifty gallons OF
water. This causes the organic mat.
ter to sink to the. bottom, an obnox-
iOus sediment, But the permangan
ate must be continued as long as the
water has a purplish appearance, in
dieating that the offensive matter
has not all been precipitated.-
Though this is not Il poisonous drug
and II, we believe, i'm no way hurtful,
still no more should he used than is
necessary. Every druggist has it for
sale.
Care must be taken to have the
cistern thoroughly cleaned out at
least twice a year, as well as til :
troughs upon the buildings supply
