WEEKLY MORNING.


farming without scientific knowledge, and
no knowledge of the sciences without
study.
Those farmers who study the various
sciences, whether natural, physical or
philosophical, and who daily associate
themselves by the closest. hardest study
with the best thought of all ages, are the
ones who make the best farmers, and
why2
Because they elevate their calling by ell
evating Themselves. This, then, Is the key
note to all yet scientific means of farming
will not make the farmer land perfect
Eldorado or his life purely Elysian.
For tie mans bread will still have to be
earned by the sweat of his brow. But 1t
will, we are confident, so strengthen his po-
sition in life, thst the annoyance and lesser
evils by which he is now surrounded.

And silently steal away" -,
In addition thereto, | opine 1t will give |
him those assurances of success and com
fort, which are found, whatever betide,
only in a studious and industrious nature;
and will assuredly, when once surrounded,
as he will be, by more luXuriant snd pro-
ductive fields, lead TO the formation OF
those elegant attractive and cultivated
homes which like some ''simple and heart

Immediately after the close of the adj

FOOT RACE.
which was adjourned from Wednesday.
There were four entries as follows M.
Laflle, d. Lepp, J. Lepp, Brandon Nj.
Sheahen, Burlington. They were to start
from in front of the park and run to
Dana's corner and back, distance about
three-quarters of a mile, So to first and So
to second. Laffie and d. Lepp dropped
out, leaving Sheahcn and J. Lepp to run
the race. Sheahen came in first and won
the race. Time, minutes and 81 seconds.
| HOSE RACE
| Ala p. m. the Neshobe Hose company
and Molly Mcclure hose company ian
against time, starting near Davis corner,
they ran down Park street, attaching the
hose to the hydrant, and stringing 300 feet
of hose ard attaching the nozzle to it, The
time of the Neshobee company was one
minute and forty seven seconds. That OF
the Molle McGures wal one minute and
twenty-five seconds. The judges were f.
L. Burlington, d. N. Peck and S. T. Moul-
ton. The Mollies were a company COM
posed of former members of the Neshobee
and others, which was extemposrized foT
the occasion. Their hose cart weighed less
than half that of the Neshobee's and they
had but $50 feet of hose so that they we're
obliged 10 run the remaining distance, as
far as the Neshobee company, with an
empty cart. We understand the Neshobee
received $50 and the Mollies had a purse
of So made up for them. The creased pig
for some reason or other was not let loose.
