PuLLIsG.-Yesterday afternoon lot

PULLING Yesterday afternoon lots of
folks congregated at the corner Of Lacour
and Main street. looking at four-horse
team endeavoripg to snake big load Of
wood through the deep mud. which a
partial drying has rendered tough and
clineing. The team did their best but it
was no 90, SO the driver started off to get
an extra span of horses. While he was
gone. our worthy Sheriff. Yves. Travis,
who is a reinsman of no mean preten-
sions, thought be would try his hand.
So he picked up the lines. and woke up
the horses little with some persuasive
hints attached to the end of whip lash.
After warming them up in this way for a
while he called upon the team to pull
and though pull they did. still not
enough. After putting them through
course of sprouts, during which Yves.
managed to knock his hat off in the
mud. he had to give it up and wait for
reinforcements. In few minutes they
came in the shape Of another span Of
horses, and by the united. efforts Of the
sir animals and the skillful application of
n shovel to their sides, away they went.
The event was made q little more inter-
estipp by bet between the Sheriff and
Charley Heath. The former bet the team
would move the load at the first pull,
which they did. For our part we Didn't
much care which way it went, because
we were in any way, and Charley liquid
ated his obligation, and his friends at the
same time, at brother Lynch's saloon.
FuRNITURE.-Those who need furni.
ture, and most of us do one time or
other, will do well to visit Wards ware.
rooms. He is crowded with stock
that will be sold at bargain. Mr.. Ward
is determined to make clearance, as he
needs the room to receive and store new
goods for the Spring trade. In order to
effect this be has made an immense re-
duction in prices in all cases of fully so
per cent, for cash. Which is cheaper
than parties can buy the same kind of
goods at wholesale and bring them here.
Besides furniture and such matters, wall
paper, picture frames, toilet sets and
lamps are kept in every variety and pat
ern. To accommodate all, mixed paints
of all kinds are kept ready for use in any
quantities, large or small; also furniture
neatly repaired at short notice. In all
cases prices have been revised. and are
now such as will surely suit the times.
As heretofore Mr.. Ward will be found
prompt and reliable in all matters con-
nected with funerals. Remember the
place, brick building, Main street, little
above the Capitol saloon, same side. The
only place in Phoebe to buy good and
cheap furniture, etc.

A SMART BoY.-There is nova days a
good deal Of complaint about the want Of
obedience to parental authority on the part
ofthe rising generation, especially on the
part of the boys, We heard ola case the other
day which proves that there are noble ex.
ceptions to the average boy of the period. 4"
A young son Of one of the principal ex.
aminers in the Patent Office at Washington
went to pass his school vacation at an un.
cle's 10 Kentucky, near the Ohio river.
There was but one restriction on tho scope
Of the boys amusements. Horses, dogs,
rifles, shot-guns, etc., etc, were freely al
allowed as companions of his amusemcnts /;
but as his cousins were as fond of the water
as so many ducks, he was requested to shun
the boat which the cousins were wont 10 use
in their aquatic excursions. He promised
faithfully, like the dutiful lad be is, and
departed rejoicing A recent letter to his
father graphically describes various exspr-
sions and the "good times he had Gu.
joyed, among the very last one in which the
cousins had desired him to visit the Ohio
shore. "They went over in the boat"
writes the boy, "but ! remembered YOUR
wishes in that respect, and so swan the
river !" 1t is understood that tho neat
mail announced to the youngstes TN. the
embargo upon the boat had beR Rpoved.

Rotation.

A judieious rotation of crops is absolutely
necessary in maintaining the fertility of the
soil This needs no demonstration for it is
universally admitted But how to rotate,
to secure the greatest advantages is the
main question. No specific directions can
be given to suit every case, because cir
cumstancos alter cases" very much in re-
gard to this point. The system that would
succeed on one farm would utterly fail on
another, and rice perSa. Governed by gen.
eral principles, the farmer must decide this
matter for himself Each crop extracts
from the soil the elements essential to its
growth and maturity, and by continuous
cropping, however judcious the rotation
may be, the soil will eventually be exhausted.
Hence the elements distracted must be re-.
turned TO the soil in the shape offerolizers.
This sett es one point--that farmers must
keep stocS aud the nearer they come to
keeping stock enough to consume what their
farms produce, the nearer they come to the
most improved culture.
The usual rotation is from the sod
corn, oats or barley wheat, and then grass.
In good soil two crops Of wheat can be grown,
clover being sown on the first, in the spring,
which will furnish one crop, and one to pillow
under for second crop of wheat, on which
grass is sown for future meadow or pasture
lands A prominent agriculturalist rocom-
mends the following six.years rotation
First year, corn, potatoes and roots, with
ground heavily MANFRED second, oats /;
third, clover, plowed in aud sowed with
wheat in the fall then timothy and clover
sowed on the wheat in the spring of the
fourth year then let it lay in grass two
years.
Other systems of rotation have their ad.
vantages, suited to the surrounding circum-
stances Of soil, climate, etc. In wheat dis
tricts, where the soil rests on limestone or
plaster, a simple rotation Of clover two years
aud wheat one, is found to be good always
promising that plenty ofmanurc is returned
to the soil.

Pussy's CLASS.


Nov, chldren,r said Puss As she shook her head
" II h time your morning lesson vas said
SO her Kittens drew near with footsteps slow
And sat down before her all In row.

" Aud toll me quick whore your noses are 4"
At this, nll the Kittens smiled the air,
As though ID were Allied with perfume rare
Now. what do you say when YOU want drink 70
The kittens waited moment to think,
And then the answer came clear and loud
You ought TO have heard how those kittens moow'd
Very we'll. It's the same with q sharper tone.
When you want fsh or bit Of bone.
Now, what do you say when children are good ~
And the kittens purrcd A. son as they could.
" And what do you do when children are hadf
When thoy tease and pull" Each kitty looked sad
Pooh 90 said the mother. " that isn't enough
You must use your claws when children are rough.
"And whero arc your claws No. no, my dear"
tAs she took up paw See they re hidden here
Then all the kittens crowded about
To sec their sharp little claws brought out.
They foit quite suro they should never need
To use such wcapons-oh, no, indeed
But their wise mamma gave pussy's pshawi ~
Aud boxed their ears with her soitcst paw.
" Now spfi,s as hard a. you can,n she said,
But every kitten hung down its head.
" Spfiss ! say" cried the mother cat;
But they said, o mamtuy, We can't do that
d" Then 10 and play, % said the fond mamma
" What sweet little idiots kittens are
All, well was once the zane. ] suppose ~
And she looked very wise and rubbed her nose.

you for this. II is in my power to grant
you one wish. just think what you most
want in all the world and it shall be yours
Now the very first thought that came
into Nettio's mind was, 40, If she could
only make Tom and me over again into our
own selves and let us 60 homcl" and in
an instant il was done.
She heard the warning voice Of the fairy
saying away in the distance, " Never quar-
rel any more lest frog and fish you

COOKING FooD FOR Hoos.-The fact is
fully established that the effective value Of
food for hogs is at least doubled by cooking
over uuground grain. Merely soaking the
meal cold is much less useful, and to be
adopted only for a very few animals. For
large herd, a good steam boiler should be
procured, and if connected with an engine,
roots may be cut up, and perhaps grain
ground to advantage. The precise amount
Of pork made from a given quantity Of corn
will vary much with circumstances, and at
different stages of the fattening process, but
generally four pounds Of corn should make
one Of pork. We shall esteem it favor
ifany of our readers will give in detail their
experience in cooking food, best apparatu:
for the purpose, management, &c.

Autumn Work in the Garden.


Early autumn is the best possible time
/ for re-arrengng beds of herbaceous plants,
such as hollyhocks, delphiniums, p@ones,
etc. Roots can be divided without injury,
aud generally with great benefit to the health
Of the plants. Lilies, and all hardy bulbs,
can also be removed and replanted as soon
as the leaves begin to ripen All beds Of
hardy bulbs, such as hyacnths, tulips, etc,
should be made as early as the bulbs can
be procured, which is generally about the
latter part Of September.
Thoro is no season so favorable as au-
tumn for making general Improvements il
the garden. The American autumn weather
is superb. Our springs are short, and yet
quite long enough, for our spring weather
is miserable; cold winds and rain and snow
and mud and sleet. All important changes
IN the garden should, therefore, be made IN
the pleasant, dry weather OF autumn. Dig
up and put in order every vacant bed, as it
will not only facilitate spring work, but do
the soil good, and have neater appearance
than if left rough and wecdy. Above all
things, do not make manure heap or a
barn-yard of the front lawn Why people
think 1t necessary to cover their lawns with
rotung, unsightly manure six mouths in the
1 year, is more than we can imagine 4
well-made lawn will not need enriching in
century, for there is nothing taken from
it, and it becomes richer and richer every
year The fact is, our old lawns become
too rich, and humid, and need if anything,
a dressing Of lime or ashes. Then grass
needs no protection in winter, aud even if
it did, how very sensible it Is to rake of
every leaf that falls from the trees-just
the protection aud manure that nature pro-
yides-apd put in their place the odious
and odorllerous manure that causes every
passer to initiate the Levite in the parable.
Most people have observed, no doubt,
that self-sown seeds, that is, seeds that have
dropped from growing plants Of the previous
season, sometimes produce the strongest
aud most healthy plants that bloom the
most freely. This is true Of several kinds,
and particularly Of those that suffer under
exposure to our midsummer suns. The
reason is, that selfsown seeds get very
healthy growth in the spring, vegetating as
soon as frost is gone, and are good sized
plants at the time We usually put seed in
the ground. They thus mature and flower
during the cool weather Of spring. The
clarkias and nemophilas and annual lark
spurs are noted examples. There are also
several varieties of hardy ANNALS that do
well with spring sowing that will bear au.
tumn sowing in the open ground, and re-
ward us with early spring flowers. Sweet
alyssum aud white candytuit will give us
abundance Of white for early cutting if
