Good Measure and Running over
Dooley's Yeast Powder has already
taken the precedent over others, from
its we'll known strength and purity; but
aside from these facts, it is put up in
cans holding the full weight as represen-
ted, which is rarely the case with those
of ordinary manufacture. Hence,
Dooley's Yeast Powder is the best, purest,
strongest and cheapest ever offered to
the consumer, and every one who has
used it will readily testify to this as
sertion. For sale in quantities to suit
by all good grocers. eod-dkw

The cold winter is coming hay is high,
and grain cos.s the dollars, and many old
horses ifthey could speak would say 1--WE
dread the winter"
If the old faithful servant that has work
ed for you for so many years is not quite
so strong or quite as fleet rs in years gone
by, perhaps he is worth as much 10 you as
toanybody. Good care and generous feeding
will mako even an old horse more valuable
than If starved and abused. If your bust
ness requires younger and smarter horse
flesh, keep the old one for the women or
children 10 drive. O!d acquaintance are
oiten safer than new ones. If you cannot
keep both, give the old one 10 some old
farmer, who you know will be kind 10
him, with the promise that he shall not
trade him Off to some brutal master, but
will keep him as long as he is worth keep
ing, and then kindly lay him away where
he will be beyond tho reach of hunger, cold
or pain. Many an old horse, If he knew
his situation, would thank his owner 10
take away his life as burden TOO heavy
10 bear.
We have got into the habit Of being both
too careless and too cruel to old horses in
this country. We owe il TO them as our
servants, as well rs to ourselves as human
beings, that we see 10 it that our horses are
not unnecessarily abused or neglected as
soonas they begin TO show the signs of old
agc.-N. Z. Farmer.

Farm and Fireside.
Farm LIE In Germany.

In ecent issue of The Evangelist a cor
respondent gives an interesting description
of farm life in Germany, which by the con-
trast it furnishes with The life and surround
ings Of The agricultural population of our
own country, accounts pretty plainly for
the immigration Of German farmers and
their families to the United States. We
make room for single extract:
As we proceed on our way we pass
through several villages, in which the
houses are pretty close together, in no way
resembling the bright neat fsrmhouses Of
our New England States. Here the build
ings consist of frame skeleton filled in
with brick or clay, and generally white
washed. The other ones have matched
roofs with rich growth of beautiful moss
upon then, and often n stork's nest at the
gable end which the peasant considers as
sign of good luck. When spring comes,
and all nature begins to show signs of
new life, the children anxiously watch the
return Of the stork, who has spent the win
ter under a summers sky. The more mod
ern houses are covered with red tile, but
even they have in front Of them the dis
gushing manure heap, suggesting bad drain
age and disease.
Over the double front door, which is
large enough to admit entrance to a loaded
wagon, is carved in large letters the name
OF the owner of the house, his wife's, and
some appropriate verse from the Bible. The
spacious hall with its hard trodden clay
floor forms the main part of the house, while
from it right and left lead the doors into the
stables. At the end we lind small sitting
room, with low ceiling and projecting
beams, and the fine floor co vered with white
sand. Narrow wooden benches are sta
tionary agans, ne wall, deal table stands
in the centre, and a few wooden chairs,
and perhaps an old clock in the corner,
complete the furniture Of Inc modest apart
ment. The bedrooms and kitchen are ad-
Joining, and in the former the mountainous
feather beds, under which the people sleep
summer and winter, ait act our attention,
as also the small windows which allow of
but scanty ventilation. There is no sign of
book or newspaper, or anything that indi-
Gates taste or education. 1t is life of toll
which the poor peasant leads, relieved by
very few pleasures, and which in no way
compares with that OF our commenced la
borer in the country.
Land here yields barely three per cent,
and while In our Eastern and Middle States
every village car boast of a paper, an oc-
casional public lecture or concert, there is
nothing here 10 change the dull monolony
Of daily drudgery. The men are drafted
into the army for three years OF their life,
which, though il relieves Them of their

AGHCULTURAL PRoDUCTs OF MAINE ron
lS73.-As the year draws ia 4 close it will
be found on looking back that the past sea-
son has been uniavorable in Inany respects
for so large yield of Names agricultural
products as compared with the yield last
year. There has been a falling oil in the
yield Of potatoes, corn, wheat, rye, oats and
barley. The hay product is larger than
that of last year by over 100000 tons. The
yield Of hay, potatoes and grain crops is as
follows: Hay, 2,O07 900 tonsi Indian corn,
$4,000 bushels: wheat, 2l9,75O bushels;
barley, 42O,2sO bushels, rye, 2G,OlO bushels,
oats, l,305,75O bushels. The total value or
these crops is rising twenty nine million
dollars, an increase of more than ten mil
lion dollars over the value OF The product
last year, owing 10 the generous yield Of
the hay crop, which more than makes up
for the decreased value of the other prod
ucts. There was not more than half crop
of apples.-Cor. Boston Journal.

a NATIVE OF NEW MEXICO il a wonder
in himself especially to those who have not
investigated his peculiar mode of life. Most
of these people are of pastoral turn of
mind, and their method Of farming is as
original as itisancicnl in its character. \ log
perforated at one end, with pointed stick
driven through the hole, and allow cd to
project about 10 or j inches, or a crooked,
shaggy and forked limb serves them for a
plow and harrow 20 upurn the soil Hay-
ing thus broken the ground, the planting
and harvestingof the crops are equally as
crude; but, in the present state of the mar
ket, which is and has been dull over since
the close of the lale rebellion, owing to a
lack OF transporting facilities, their method
serves them US well As, or perhaps better
than, one more modern. These people
know little or nothing OF labor saving ma
chinery, and are so welded to old customs
that but few would use the improved i'm
plements were they actually given them
free of cost. While the crops are maturing
without any further attention than is be-
slowed by nature, the careless "Greaser''
leaves his farm to run itself. During this
period he frequently turns his attention to
bull-whacking, and, with a long string of
oxen, be will freight load of lumber to
some town in southern Colorado, and then
return to New Mexico; either empty, or
with load Of groceries or other misce,la.
neOus articles, for which he makes 4 charge
of to 10 cents per pound for freightage.
His trip COSTS him but little as his oxen are
made TO subsist solely upon the native gras-
ses of the plains while he himself practice
es an extreme frugality.- C3rregpoadencc
