Moon Signs.

There are many persons who be-
lieve in doing their work by signs in
the moon, and those too, who have
been brought up and educated in this
enlightening age, who We suppose
would see Thugs in better light,
than moonlight.
One says, plant and sow every
thing that produces crop above
ground, in the light of the moon, and
that which produces in the ground,
in the dark of the moon. For in
stance, wheat, corn, grass, vines and
trees, in the light of the moon but
potatoes, onions, carrots, and such
like, in the dark of the moon. An
other says, lay fence in the light of
the moon, but set the stakes or posts
in the dark of the moon. Still an
other says, frost that comes in the
light of the moon, will do no harm,
but if it comes in the dark Of the
moon, it will prove fatal Another
says, fruit trees that bloom in the
light of the moon will prove fruitful,
Uub IL buoJ UlOOm III tue uuTh VI tue
moon the fruit will drop off before
it natures, Another idea is very
popular with many which is, that
soap must be made in the light of the
moon. And as for the weather, there
are a thousand moon signs relating
to that, by as many different per-
sons.
| do not wish to criticise the opin-
ions of these moonites, but what |
am at is this, TO have some of that
class, that is strong In the fai th, come
out and show the fact, ii 1t lie q fact
that the moon governs vegetation
and the weather Let us have the
why's and wherefores. believe that
vegetation will grow more vigorous
ly of q moonlight night, than of
dark night. That is easily explain
ed, and has been time and again.

cause ascertained. The milkman
admitted that be allowed his Gov

fact has heretofore been brought to

Arithmetic and shrewdness have

The article which is written with a

Swindlers and Their Tricks.

AS general rule the farming class
is not one of the great reading ones
of the community. Those who cul.
tivate the soil are usually engaged
for half the year, from daylight to
dark, in their everyday pursuits, and
can spare but short time to keep
up with the news in the weekly pa
per, or TO get the newest and best
ideas from their regular agricultural
magazine. They are much more
liable 10 be imposed on by sharpers
than any class. sorely for want OIL
time to read about the doings oil
these rogues.
Again, they are usually more
honest class than any other. Calcu.
culating to live by industry, and
their very avocation tending to com.
pei them to be industrious, they have
little chance to know anything about
the ways o. those who live by their
wits; for in a rogue's business, as
well as in all others, it is practice
which makes perfect. Thus the
faimer Las been tho peculiar prey OF
the sharper, and there is no end oil
the tricks practiced on the honest
son of the soil, by which he is re-
lieVed OF his cash and gets nothing
in return
In tie matter of swindling it has
hitherto been hard to do any, hing
with these fellows on account of a
supposed spirit of the law in their
favor. 1t has been assumed that the
purchaser must be intelligent enough
to judge wholly for himself, he sees
the article, whether or not it is the
thing he is paying for. If, for in
stance, man hands you an apple
tree aud tells you it is a pear, you
get the tree he sold you at any rate,
and the law clears the fellow. You
were simply "sold," not swindled.--
But some recent decisions have put
new face on the matter, and quack
doctors, rascally tree-pedlars, and
other. worthless, are beginning TO find
that their day is done.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
this improved appearance of things,
makes good suggestion that a good
use of farmers clubs would be to
hunt and prosecute these fellows
Usually they operate in a: whole
community, and all suffer. 1t il
hardly fair for all the trouble to fall
on one. We regard the Tribune's
idea as an excellent Forney',
Press.
