The Season of Intermftteuts.

All miasmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwhoIesome ex-
halations from the earth or water, are preva-
lent at this season. In every section subject
to the visitation Of fever and ague, or other
forms of intermittent disease, the causes
which produce these malades are now act
lively at work. This, therefore, is period
Of the year when the inhabitants of such
districts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholcsome condition of the at
mosphere by course of tonic and Alternative
treatment. Foremost among the invgorants,
recommended by time and experience as
means of fortifying the system against all en-
demic and epidemic maladies, stands Hos
letters Stomach Bittcrs. BY a timely use of
the Bitters, the fecblest resident of an un-
healthy soil may escape the sickness, which,
without the aid Of this potent ally Of nature,
will be apt to overtake the strongest

The Care of Machinery.

To correctly plan and devise i'm
proyementS i'll machinery involves the
exercise of considerable degree of
original genius; and to fully develop
such Improvements, and to bring them
into the most practical shape, re-
quires. in addition to this, the applica-
ton of acquired knowledge of the con-
struction of the machine or mechani-
cal combination, in such manner that
each OF the different parts thereof
may be properly proportional and ar
ranged with reference to the particu-
lar function which it is designed TO
fulfill. When this is done, and the
work completed. its useful mission has
commenced. and inventive talent or
skillful instructors need not be en-
ployed upon it, unless it should be to
modify or add further improvements.
Yet, however complete III itself, or
however effectually it may perform its
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1876-10-11

work, it is not endowed with the fac
ulty of self-preServation, and. unless
it be properly cared for, will be sub
ject to Rumberless accidents and inju-
ries, involving not only its own imme-
date or ultimate destruction, but, IN
many instances, the loss of life or limb
to those employed in its operation.
This necessary care requires, not the
expert mechanic or professional skill,
but simply the exercise of common
sense. 1t is by prompt attention to
little things that the maximum etlicien-
cy and durability is attained, with
properly designed and constructed
machinery. When the bearings of
shafts and the spindles are not oiled
sufficiently, not only does the increased
friction require greater amount of
driving power, but the bearings are
roughened or destroyed IN a proper
tionate degree. When the caps of
journal boxes are left too loose, the
journal wabbles, and, if there is gear
ing attached to the shaft, its teeth are
badly worn out of shape; while, if the
caps are screwed down too tight, the
oil is forced out, the journal heats, and
both the shaft and bearing are soon
rendered worthless. These matters
are of no small moment, and the ag-
gregate loss resulting from inattention
to them is very great. 1t is not con-
fined alone to the machinery of mills
and other manufacturing operations,
but occurs in very much greater de-
gree in machinery employed in agri-
culture. Many thrasher, horsepower
or harvester has been branded of bad
construction. and been prematurely
disabled, when a few drops of oil, or
one or two turns of the wrench were
all that were required to set things to
rights. Many other items might be
mentioned, in which attention to little
details. requiring only an application
OF ordinary common-sense, will guard
against great and unnecessary waste
Of power and damage to machinery:
but these are sufficient to illustrate the
almost self-evident proposition that,
while talent is required to originate,
and practical knowledge to construct
machinery, its most efficient operation,
and the profit in its use resulting
therefrom, can only be secured by
bringing to beal upon its management
the plain, ordinary principles derived
from everyday observation and eXpe-
rience. -NiU Stone.

Fall Planting.

FRUIT-BEARING trees, shrubs, vines
and brambles may be transplanted in
the fall, and very often under more
favorable conditions, and with better
prospects of success, than if set out
in the spring. There are some well
known objections raised against fall
planting. especially of fruit-trees,
such as the long exposure to the sway
ing of the winds before growth COM
mences. But the injury or displace-
ment of the roots from swaying at the
tops amounts to little compared to the
many striking advantages gained in
planting at season of the year when
there is comparative leisure, when the
ground is usually dry and in good con-
dition, and when the necessary pre-
paratory stirring of the soil can be
made without any extra expense.
These are points that tell in the
growth and productiveness of fruit
trees, either in the garden or the orch
ard. If planted in the fall, the soil
settles closely around the roots and
fibers by the time the spring opens,
and an earlier growth is started than
with spring setting, which is often
pushed back until the season is well
advanced, from causes over which the
planter has no control The spring
may be backward enough to hinder
planting of trees in way in which
they should be set out to insure sue
cess. All other things being equal,
there is no doubt that spring would be
the better time to plant trees. But
this does not often happen to be the
case, as every practical fruit-grower
well knows. 1t is therefore wise to
transplant in the fall if the trees and
the ground are in readiness. p. L
quinn in Scribner for October.

Discouraged Farmers.

Our remark of a few weeks since
occupation, or else so many would
not follow it, has called out several
letters from correspondents. AS usual
IN such cases, those who are in COM
Portable circumstances and are sue
cessful agree with us, while others
think differently. One correspondent
declares that farmers as class follow
the business through necessity, and
not from choice, which is doubtless
true to a considerable extent, as it is
also of those following other occupa-
tons. The case may be thus briefly
stated: "1e who is in love with his
occupation seldom fails of being sue
ceSSful." No man ever became emf
nent in any profession or business I'M
less he put his whole soul and ener-
gies into it, and at the same time had
faith in his own abilities.
Now, if the farmer starts out with a
diStaSte for his calling, or ever reaches
that position through disappointment.
That moment he begins retreat, and
the battle is lost. The very opposite
OF this brings strength to man s
arms and intellect, and helps him to
see the best course to pursue in order
10 reach the greatest success. The
complaint which has pervaded the
&ucultural press during the past few
Years of the appropriateness of
agricultural pursuits has brought its
legitimate results in a widespread
ieeIng OF discomfort among our
farmers, and a belief that they are
really being crushed by those follow
ing other occupations. 1t has, how
ever. long been claimed that the
itTnes IS and should be the most indie
pendent of all men. and he believes
ANS claim to be a truthful one in the
main, although there are doubtless
some exceptions to the rule.
1t viii not be denied that we have
thousands of farmers who have be-
come rich. or at least reached indie
pendent circumstances. through till
ing the earth. and the proportion of
such successes Is fully equal to those
found in any other profession or call
ing. The few who accumulate for
tunes IN Wall street, or as merchants.
lawyers, doctors, or in manufacturing
or other enterprises. generally have
their names brought prominently be

fore the public, but the thousands who
fail and pass into oblivion are UNI
counted and unknown; hence the far
too prevalent idea that almost any
thing pays better and is more certain
than farming. This is one of the de-
lusions which make farmers discour-
aged, if not actually to hate their oc-
cupation, and those who encourage
discontentment by holding up the for
tunate in other callings as examples
Of the inequality caused by unjust leg
islation, are doing more harm than
good. If a man has, to use a common
phrase, a "hard row to hoe he
needs encouragement to help him
through, instead of being told
that he is abused. A man S
land is not liable to be burned up or
blown away, and plants grow while
he sleeps. The merchant goods may,
through no fault of his own, be de-
stroyed, insurance companies fail, and,
although rich to-day, tomorrow he
may be homeless and penniless. The
lawyer. doctor, and mechanic depend
upon that slender thread, personal
health, for success, and when this
gives way. they are far worse off than
man owning enough of this earth
upon which to raise bread for himself
and family. Next to Government
bonds, farm mortgages are considered
the best security our capitalists can
get for their surplus capital, and this
is another evidence of the stability
and general financial soundness of
agricultural pursuits. Perhaps the
credit of our farmers has been too
good for their own welfare, and they
have INDUCED too frequently and eX-
tensively in raising money upon, mort
cages if so, it should be placed to
the side Of indiscretion, and not to the
disadvantages or losses naturally oc-
curing in the business.
Upon the whole, taking farming as
it is, and considering what it might
become, we think the majority of those
who can speak from experience will
agree with us in saying that if the same
amount of energy, skill and general
business management are employed in
agriculture as in other industries, they
will bring equally good results with
far less risk of total or partial failure
to thenumDers engaged therein. When
the farmers of town or county in
dulge in speculative enterprises, such
as building railroads or giving bonds
to aid in any other public enterprise,
they must expect to run risks in pro-
portion; or if they purchase more
land than they can work with profit.
running in debt for the same, failure
to meet their obligations should not be
charged to appropriateness of farm
ing, but to their own indiscretion in
business affairs. In conclusion, we
would say, take common sense view
of the situation, and see if you cannot
discover mistakes in the past to which
present difficulties can be traced, and
then endeavor to avoid them in the
future, remembering, besides, that as
seed time and harvests have been so
will they continue if the hus SANDMAN
fails not in his duties. ". Y. Sun.
