siAxiMs FoH FARMERS.

IL is worth while for ali farmers,
everywhere, to remember That thor
ough culture is better than three mort
Cages on their farms.
That good fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors. H-
That more stock perish from famine
than founder.
That a horse that lays his ears back
and looks lightning when any one APP
proaches him is vicious, Don't buy
him.
That scrimping the feed of faitening
hogs is 4 waste of grain.
That over fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children properly is
money lent out at one hundred per
cent.
That one evening spent at home in
study is more profitable than ten loung-
ing around country taverns.
That cows should always be MIXED
regularly and clean.
That it is the duty of every man to
take a good, reliable, entertaining pa
per, and pay for it promptly OF course.

his able contributions to this department
of your paper. 1t is worthy of note that
Washington in his message to Congress
insisted that upon the education cf the
masses depended the safety aud per.
petuity Of the libertie, of the American
people. He wanted all the children
educated. Adams and jefferson were of
like sentiments. How can liberty be

to appreciate its value?
In the coming campaign we must have
our strongest, best posted aud ablest men
on the stump. They must be posted on

showing of modern Democracy. In this
section it seems to be universally conced>
ed among the Republicans that Judge
Glllcnwaters is the man best suitoi As

do not expect any serious opposition to
