the bosom Of reform To this end would N necessary
TO have both names upon the ticket closely Identified
with the great reforms already accomplished that
they should be popular synonyms Of that much
desired and rare element in our politics,
II would he important in the present chaotic con-
dtou OF parties have upon ticket the two nost
representative efoners OF the two great parties that
the inepe dent OF both might have the 0ppor-
tinty voting for the and principles they desire
to in control Of National affairs instead or being CON-
PEELED to choice evils in the regular party
nominations This Of course implies third ticket, and
third party you viii say and there is too little time to
organize even IL third parties usually successful,
which they Not at all, reply, With Tie candi-

almost all other combinations But why not propose

converts to reform, the gentlemen whose names head
this communication were refoTners when 1t was less
popular and profitable 10 espouse that unpopular cause

We attended a political meeting at Roxbury
well pleased with our journey. Nature has
bestowed her gifts bountifully in that direct
ion. The beautiful valley of Gypsum creek
loses none of its attractions even as far south
as Roxbury. The farmers of that section have
made great improvements in five years. The
houses, fields and orchards all indicate that
that the farmers are industrious and deter
mined to make their country bud and blossom
as the rose. We spent the night with Mr.. A.

many pleasant gentlemen, and were royalty
treated, and shall be happy to visit them again

independence,

Frequently we hear farmers complain
of their lot, but if they knew when
they were well off they would not do
so. ANY man who OWNS farm and is
out of debt, is the most Independent
of men. 'Hard times" has no power
to chill his feelings or cast shadow
across his heart, he can at all times
have employment and need not bow or
cringe to any master; never need he be
the slave Of any. Dealing with nature
and natures God how dignifying and
ennobling the avocation in its charac-
ter, and should be considered, as it
really is, the highest and most satisfac-
tory busin ess man can engage in. A
farmer may not always acquire wealth,
but he is always sure of competence.
To the care-worn, brain wrecked bust
ness man, there is othing that looks so
peaceful and enchanting as a lovely,
well regulated farm. 1t looks to him
like haven of rest, where the corrod-
ing cares and life-sapping anxiety of a
city life are unknown; domain over
which the farmer is king, and where
lie may enforce his will undisputed by
anyone. The true pleasure of farm
er's vocation consists in his close rela-
ton TO nature and in his possession of
all the rational enjoyments of life; as
a natural consequence, the higher his
culture the greater will be his capacity
for deriving enjoyment. Hence far
mer should be q scholar in the broad
est sense TO fully draw from his sur
roundings the happiness and tranquil
ity that belong to the farmers life

Wild Plum Trees.

II. L. asks what he shall do with the
wild plum trees in his woods that he
is clearing, and whether any of the
finer sorts can be grated upon them.
The inquiry comes in proper time to
be answered in very sincere manner.
a piece of our land adjoining vino
yard is being grubbed, and the hands
have been ordered not to disturb the
plum trees, quite number of which
are on the ground. These are to be
grated with the apricot and the hardi-
plums. The Early Golden apricot
takes well by grating, but the heavy
growing varieties, with softer wood,
we would advise budding with. Any
kind of plum or Gage will take on
them. Among the good kinds Princes
Imperial and Lombard have done well
here we have seen them tried. The
Wild Goose and some of the improved
Chickasaw plums would do well.
There is but one objection 10 this as a
stock, and that is a very trifiing one if
properly managed. 1t is, that some of
the stronger growing kinds grow fas-
ter than the stock, and may get top
heavy. If the trees to be grated are
small, it can be done few inches un-
der the ground, and the earth banked
up little; then the graft viii throw
out roots of its own in a few years, and
be permanent. But, when grated on
limbs or on the main stem, the stock
will keep pace with the fastest grow
ing kind that is set upon it, if the maiu
stem be cut through the bark from the
graft 10 the ground-of course not the
first year, but as soon as it is perceived
that the graft is getting thicker than
the stem. On tree three inches in
diameter we would two lines, Oh OPP
posite sides, in the spring, just as the
sap begins to flow.
There are plum stocks enough TO
grow immense quantities of plums are
apricots, if grated: and the curcrio
would be defeated. - We hone ,:ct to
accomplish the latter. When one APP
ricot tree bears $25 worth of fruit in a
season, and Lombard plums bring four
dollars per bushel, ii is surely worth
while TO try 10 raise them.

To Keep Fowls free from Lice.


Lice kill more fowls every year, both
old and young, than all the other dis
eases. This is the time to whitewash
and kill them, and provide dust for
the fowls to dust in, aud no trouble will
be had next season raising young chick
ems. Wood ashes are the best thing |
have found We. for them TO dust in, and
find by spreading it under the roost-
ing places the house can be cleaned
much easier, and il also acts as a dis
infectant and sure death to lice.
To kill lice on Young chicks | use
coal oil, which kills them instantly by
amounting the head and wings, al the
same time care must be taken TO keep
the oil from coming in contact with
the flesh of the chick, the feathers
should only be slightly oiled. All tina.
is necessary for the older fowls is the
dust bath, which every poultry keeper
should keep, as chickens battle as well
as birds only theyprefer dust to water.

a lady writes: ''Some imagine a
farmers wife need know little hey ond
how to perform her daily labor; but if
/ were TO picture country home for
me, il should be home where tastes
for the ornamental as well as the USE
full has been displayed, and where the
days proved long enough for the far
ner's wife to cultivate the mind as
well as the-garden. really cannot
imagine why farmer and farmers
wife cannot have as lofty aspirations,
as noble minds and as much refine
ment and education as a city mans
wife. firmly believe that more hap
piness and more enjoyment can be
found out in the country than in the
CITY, If sought for"
