Economy on the Farm.

Economy in all things is as commend.
able in the manager as ii Is beniicial and
desirable to the employer; and, on a
farm, it shows itself in nothing more evil
IDENTIFY or more essentially, than in not suf-
fering the provender TO be wasted, but,
on the contrary, in taking care that every
atom OF it he used to the best advantage !;
and, likewise, in not permitting the
ploughs, harness and other implements OF
husbandry, and the gears belonging to
them, to be unnecessarily exposed, trod-
den under foot, Iun over by carts, and
abused in other respects. More good is
derived from attendingto to the minutin OF
a farm, than strikes people at first view I;
and examining the farm-yard fences, and
looking into the fields to see that nothing
is there but what is allowed to be there,
often-times is the means of producing
much good, or at least of avoiding much
evil.-Georye Washington.

the soil on which the tree stands; by
the crops of grass, grain, OF roots con

has been in whipping the trees with
poles TO remove the apples. And still
another cause was the pasturage among
them.

TrAnsplnnting stra " berries.

August and September are favorite
months to plant out Strawberries, with
those who desire crop of fruit the next
season. In making strawberry bed, a
warm, dry spot of ground should he
chosen, with, it possible, good loamy
or clayey subsoil. A moist, wet situa.
tion is very unfavorable. 1t is best to
subsoil at least eighteen inches deep,
and il the soil is poor let il be moderate
ly enriched with well decayed stable
manure. In setting out take care that
the plants do not become dry from the
time they are taken up till they are re-
planted, and see that they do not wither
afterwards. Many persons cut off the
leaves, if they are afraid of their whiting
under hot suns, but much better
plan is to shade. Inverted four-inch
flower pots are excellent for this purpose;
they may be taken off at night. The
dews will 80 invigerate them that the
shade will only be required for few
days. Sometimes in September they
may need good watering; but this
should never he attempted unless a
thorough saturation of the bed is given +;
and in few days after, the hoe and rake
should he employed to loosen and level
the surface, which the heavy watering
will, in all probability, have cause to
bake and become very crusty.

but 1t is evident that after il gets foot

TO herd till farmers become alarmed and
stop its course by separation and division
of herds. While | am fully satisfied
that it is contagious las statedina a former
article), yet there are number of hogs
that seem to escape the disease altogether.
Such are generally found to be very
thrifty, and though they may have the
cholera, it is so light that it is not OBJ
served. My rule is preventive, and not
cure. To this effect | would recon-
mend.
/. Regular feeding, and not too much
doctoring; use but little drugs, feed
your hogs mostly on slops and cooked
food. slightly salted, so as to prevent
costiveness
2. DO not suffer too many hogs to
run and sleep together, and keep the
pen clean, or if in lots or fields, change
often.
3. See that your state representatives
and senators are pledged TO enact law
the coming session to prohibit hogs from
running at large; this done, and then in
my judgment we will be troubled but
little with the hog cholera.

THE FREMONT FRAUD.
A Pftiabiy Ludicrous Explanation of
Governor IIayes' Dishonesty.
Chicago Times.

Chicago. Times.
Swift retribution has come tipon the
responsible workers in the campaign of
slander. The endeavor, intrepid, shame
less, characteristic, to approve TildeD
derelict in the rendering of his income
tax has simply resulted in hopelessly
smirching the fair fame of the mask
chosen TO conceal Grantism. The for
tune of Gov. Hayes could not at any
time be an unknown quantity. He has
been in receipt of liberal income since
1855. He has practiced law in an OBJ
scure way and has learned the methods
Of taxation. He received good income
during the war as colonel of the twenty
third Ohio regiment, drawing pay and
subsistence as brigade commander. He
was elected to congress in '65 and accu-
mulated the salary grab of 1866; the
next year he was elected governor and
drew the salary of that Office. He must
in all these years have accumulated some
taxable persenalty-yet upon rendering
the account of his stewardship the year
after coming into his uncle Orchards
magnificent property, he has but S2,33l
of visible taxables. 1t is fairly incredi-
bic that man of Gov. Hayes business
thrift should 30 tamper with public
patience as to pretend that this return
under oath in any sense represents the
vast property which only year before
his uncle had rendered at 10000, a sum
which all his neighbors regarded as
shiftily below the proper estimate.
The explanation of the governor is
pitiably, ludicrously vague and INSULT
cient. 1t simply denies the possession
of pianos and watches which his neigh
bors remember him to have possessed. II

1873 to 1876, as the result of Indebtedness,

Birchard was an acute money. satherer.
His whole life was spent in accumulatnc
the splendid fortune which he turned
over, intact almost, to his fortunate
nephew. Is it at all likely that in 1873
he would present the state, in taxes, an
amount vastly in excess of his legal LA
blities? Flow, in one year, could the
taxables which Birchard rated at $40 900

under oath three years in succession:
The Osceola times., 1876-09-23

These contradictory averments prove
lack of consistence not only in them
selves in the statement which
Gov. Hayes in the first panic of discoy-
cry has been incautious enough to send
out. Had the governor examined the
lists as published he would have seen at
a glance that his denial covered only i'm.
material points; but the thing charged
against him is not the suppression Of the
truth, but the swearing to contradictory
atlirmations in one and the same matter

the assessors blanks was either incapable
of understanding the substance of what

iessed that the matter Of taxes was re.

incident in his duties rs a citizen, and
that he had not examined the formula Of
the assessors blanks, there would be
general willingness to accept this rs n
satisfactory explanation of what in view
of his singular explanation must seem to
the unprejudiced disreputable sharp
practice. The halting explanation of
the governor, indeed, leaves him in

"1f ! had TO preach a sermon on horti-
culture" says Downing, 81 should take
this for my text: Stir the Soil. ,"
In dry weather it is very essential that
the soil be stirred often. The air waters
the fresh dug soil much more effectually
than we can do. A man will raise more
moisture with a spade and hoe in a day
than he can pour on the earth out of a
watering pot in week. II The ground
he suffered TO become close and compact,
the cool surface exposed to the air for
the reception of moisture is smaller, and
what is deposited does not enter into the
earth far enough to he appropriated; but
if the soil be loose and porous the air en-
ters more deeply and deposits its moist
urc beneath the surface. Almost any
soil in which seed will germinate may
be made by continued hoeing to produce
a crop. Above all, cut away every weed
that appears. Gone wears seeding

with this infusion over plants, roses and

beef for ransiiy Use,

We have always advocated beef-good,
wellfatted beef--for family use especially
through the winter season. II is sur
prising how few cattle are slaughtered by
farmers for food for their families; and
yet we know of no good reason for their
not using beef. No argument can be
advanced to prove it too expensive. On
the contrary, beef is cheaper, especially
such as is best suited TO home use, than
pork. The fattenine, killing and saving
is done with less expense and labor than
is possible with our porkers, and is at
tended with less risk as regards the
health Of the animals. Yearlings and
two-year old hcifers can be bought in al
most every ncighborhood, and ifprorerly
grazed through the summer, a very little
grain fed, commencing while the grass
is good, will, by cold weather, insure
good, juicy and wholesome beef. Our
farmer friends in this respect have a
great advantage over their city cousins,
who seldom get good piece of beef even
at high figure. Small families can
supply themselves with an early calf. II
IL is properly cared for and not killed
until IL is fatted, they will find il is worth
more as food than il would bring at the
age of one year or eighteen months old.

Besides the advantages enumerated, an
other important consideration is that
such young things as are not desirable to
