"Thc big maple at Lake Side farm
Georgeville, yielded IL cords stove wood it
was four feet at the stump and had large
top. Who beats it 2"-StanStead Journal.
We don't know who beats it, but tho man
who cut such a tree, save for the most i'm
perativo reasons, deserves "beating." Does
he suppose that these glories of tho field are
made to bo slaughtered like hogs that we
may brag over their size?

Vermont produces two per cent, only, Of
the hops raised in the country. Is that the
reason we have so much poor bread in this
state ? So many do not seem to know how
to make good hop and potato yeast bread.
just go out among the enterprising, thrifty,
neat farmers homes and you will find bread
made from "home made" yeast, without the
aid Of saleratus or patent powders.

"IIens are like other creatures. If they
are properly taken care of they will pay a
profit Of two to FIVE dollars a head, in eggs
and chickens. We have made them pay
over four dollars--with common hens, crossed
with fancy stock If common hen will
pay the above amount, averaging hundred
aud twenty eggs each per year-it is clear
to any intelligent person that fancy fowls
that lay two hundred and forty eggs, will
pay proportiOnOte percentage. 1t is an
occupation which no one can succeed in un-
less they have a natural love for it,-that is,
to make il profitable. 1t requires great
deal Of care and patience, Women eau
succeed better than than men."-GOldea

One Mans idea of Farm Economy.

Neighbor N, who is small farmer in
his way, practices economy after method
of his own, which he has permitted me to
show up, and in order to do so use his fig
ures. BY the way N. uses figures in his
farming operations. To illustrate his point,
| give his account of sales for the past year.
His motto is, "lf you want thing raise it !;
or if you cannot raise it, then raise something
to buy it with" believing it but poor ecOuo-
my to go without anything that will add to
the comfort or pleasure of home.

The thriving farmer is apt to keep busy
even at this season of the year. He is al
ways finding something to do. And yet it is
about as important to spend some time IN
recreation, as it is to be diligent in business.
We must recruit the system for tho next
seasons work, and it is a good plan to have
this recreation and amusement with the fam
lily as far as pOssible.-MasS. PiOughman.

CANTON, D. T.,

Ed. ADvoCATE: Harvest is past, and
still we are busy gathering our bountiful
crop, and from the vast number of stack
already erected, and from the numerous
fields that are thickly dotted with large
shocks, IS sufficien, evidence Of good
crop.
Mr.. o. Alexander has felt somewhat
Respondent on account of the poorness of
his wheat crop; last Thursday Mr.. Rames-
botham threshed 525 bushels Of No. l
wheat from % acres Of said poor crop
MIR. T., is certainly good thresher and
is ever ready to make all (who employ
him) rejoice.
Judging from the kindness shown Mrs.
Grout BY threshing her grain at three
ffths of the usual price, and from the
number who assisted in securing her crop,
evident she has the sympathy Of all. And
for tue timely aid rendered, all who as
sisted may feel assured of her sincere
thanks. Yours respectfully,

The rumor OF the murder Of e. E..
Hedges, Of Sioux City, near Brulc Agen-
cy, has proved true, and it is generally be-
iieved to be the work Of a Ranchman with
whom he had had some trouble about
some missing cattle. His brother NJ.
thaniel, met q violent death on the front.
ier in 1865, while engaged in a survey Of
a road to Montana. Mr. Hedges was and
for long time had been one Of the prom.
inent citizens OF Sioux City, and has fill.
ed important positions of trust. He had
been in partnership with his brother D.
I. Hedges, and as such had been engaged
in extensive business matters; they grad
ed 36 miles of the G. G. & B. II. Road last
year, and some years their business had
aggregated 100000.
The Chicago Tribune talks thu, upon
the wheat question; after stating that the
total product of the wheat crop in Mime.
sofa, Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas will
be 117,000, 900 against 81, 100000 Of bush
els raised last year:
"Our figure, show that in four States,
the farmers will receive the enormous
sum OF nearly fifty million Of dollars
more for their wheat crap Of 1877 than
they did for that Of 1879, or after making
all reasonable allowance for unforeseen
contingencies, let US estimate that they re-
cciye an increase Of say IS per cent, in
money value over last year. Now let
any one extend these estimates, making
allowances for all contingencies, to the
other crop, corn, oats, potatoes, hogs, cat.
tie, etc, and it is difficult to arrive ut any
conclusion that will not give the farmers
of the Northwest at least so per cent.
more money for their crops Of this year
than tor those Of last year"

But those whose business it was to
do this work, when they knew that
parties had gone out with a great sac
riice of time and money, remained at
home, and the agreement was unkept.
1t was ~pleasanter standing at the cor
ner of our streets, Or sitting by q
comfortable stove, than running
lines through fields of cactus, exposed
to a bullet from a Greaser, or an In
dian, or which was much more to have
been feared from a victimized stock
holder. Observe there ere two points
in this charter, one is their represen-
tations in reference to the lands not
one of which is trae, and the other is
their agreement, or promises, not one
of which was kept. We unhesitating-
fy pronunce the whole thing a lie and
a fraud, got up by a set of designing
ard INSCRIPTIONS fellows to build up
their falling fortunes. While they
claim to be encouraging agriculture
and horticulture, they are selling their
lands as rapidly as they can and get
ting out of the. association, which some
of them have actually done, and We
believe it was only that they might
sell them with larger profit that this
charter was drawn. We are often
tainted by the remark, ''they were
too smart for u.s." We claim to be
smart enough to get an honest indie
pendent living in the heavcn-appoint-
ed way, beyond this we do not pro-
pose to go, and more than this, in
stead of being an evidence of superior
smartness is to our mind a want Of it.
