Hostetter's United States ALMANAC
for 1875, for distribution, gratis
throughout the United States, and
all civilized countries of the Western
Hemisphere, will be published about

great variety of diseases, it embraces
a large amount of information inter
esting to the merchant, the mechan-
ic, the miner, the farmer, the planter,

ridians and ATTITUDES as are most
suitable for correct and comprehen-

CARING FOR FARM IMpLEMENrs.-

CARING FOR FARM IMpLrMENrs,-
There is no principle in farming bet
ter established than that all tools
and machines should be housed
when not in Use, and the farmer who
neglects this is greatly wanting in
the element of economy. The now
ing machine that is left standing In
the fence corner can not be expected
to do good work, and for wooden i'm.
pleihents the case is worse still.
The prudent farmer not only houses
his implements, but he devotes rainy
and snow days to repairing them.
A moving machine, the journals Of
which are cleaned of their accumula
ton of grimed grease and carefully
oiled, will run twenty-five per cent,
lighter and fifty per cent. longer than
one, that does not receive this attenA
ton. Joseph Harris says his hard
est task with hired men Is to make
them take care of the tools of the
farm. No wonder such men never
reach the good fortune of having
farms of their own.- journal of the

RoBB1NG THE HEN Roosrs.--Hen
roosts in Middlesex and Union coun-
ties, N. j., have frequently been Wis
tied by thieves within the past two
years. Chickens, turkeys, geese and
ducks have mysteriously disappeared
in battalions from barns and farm
yards, and the owners have waited
long and patiently for some opportu-
nifty to consult With the raiders. Be-
fore daybreak on Friday, in Railway,
no less person than the Rev. John
William Thomas johnson, clergy
man Of the African Methodist
Church, an aspirant for bsshopric,
was captured with eight live chick
ems in basket and one live turkey
in a small valise. The clergyman
was standing on the platform waiting
for the train to Newark. His tracks
in the snow showed that he had just
made trip from the barn Of Farmer
Ramsey in Railway. The chickens
and turkeys we're claimed by men
who said that they had neither sold
nor given them to the Rev. John
William Thomas johnson; therefore
he was taken to the police station,
and there an old resident of Railway
said to him, "This is bad year fol
clergymen." The Rev. John Will
liam Thomas johnson bowed his
head af1irmatively.-]N. Y. Sun.

speed for short time it WIS found that
one of the ships screws was damaged, and
it had to put back for repairs. According

THE WINDS.
BY T. S. II.

The South Wind sings of happy springs,
And summers Fastening OH their way ;
The South Wind smells of cowslip bells,
And blossom spangled meads of May!
But sweeter is her red, red mouth
Than all the kisses of the South.
The West Wind breathes of sunset Deaths,
And yellow pride Of woods grown old;
Tile West Wind flies from Autumn skies,
And suncloutls overlai.l with gold;
But the golden locks I love the best
Outshine the glories Of the West.
The North wind sweeps from crystal deeps,
And Arctic halls of endless night;
The North wind blows DER tritted SHOWS,
And mountains robed in virgin white;
But pnrer far her maiden's sonl
THAI all the SHOWS that STROUD the pole.
The East wind shril1s DER desert hills,
And dreary coasts of barren sand;
The East wind means Ofsea blauched bones
And ships that sink in sight of land.
BIT the cold, cold East may rave and moan
For her soft warm heart is all my own.

How the Heron Hunts,

The gopher is n great pest to the

animal. better known to our readers rs
the prairie dog, burrows under the
ground, and makes himself at home by
following out the earth. The roof Of
his small cave is not very thick, anil
through it man and beast frequently
tumble. Besides, he eats many things
which the farmer prefers that he should
let alone. The blue crane, or heron, is
the natural ally of the farmer i'll the

animal.
In Il field of alfalfa, where the mounds
thrown mp by the gophcrs arc the thick

with its sharp, yellow bill, standing
guard over some fresh earth III course of
distribution by the greatest pest, next
to the squirrel, known to the farmer.
Unlike the heron OF the swamps and
marshes oi Florida, its neck is stretched
10 its full length while watching itsprey.
1t is generally found standing alone in
the field, ms if it had deserted its kind,
and its mission was to act the solitary
sentinel Of the meadow. Its bill is
sharp, and rs the gopher, with his feet
and head pushing the soil, comes to the
surface, it is sent through him like n
dirkknifc, md he is brought out rs il on

mark; when it does, as if disgusted with
its blunder, it spreads its wings, and,
with its long legs stretched out behind,
takes its flight for another field.
