Farm Economics

As there is much soft corn, or corn
the cob of which is not thoroughly dry
the farmers should use great care in
selecting only the soundest and dryest
ears for seed, and store it in dry, airy
place. Do not put it in the granary or over
grain, as the sweating of the grain destroys
its terminating qualities, and good crops
can not be raised without good seed. Only
save the best OF everything for seed III the
tools are not under cover long before this,
lose no time in putting them there. Look
them over, and see If they need repairing.
III so, have it done the first spare day, so that
they will be ready for the early spring work,
as much time and money is lost by the de-
lays caused by broken and rusty tools when
most needed. Stock of all kinds should be
provided with comfortable quarters. 1t
does not pay to keep stock standing
in mud or snow. 1t costs more TO feed them
than it would to provide shelter. Care
should be given to the poultry. Build them
a good, warm house with plenty Of room.
Have good, clean nests provided, and give
plenty of light This, with change of feed
occasionally and plenty of good, fresh water
will cost but little, and they will pay you
well by supply of fresh eggs for the table.
or to SELL nearly all winter and az this time
of the year they always bring a good price.
Nothing on the farm pays better than p0ul-
try in proportion to the expense. and moth
ing is more neglected. And now that winter
is here with its long evenings. be sure and
supply yourself and family with plenty OF
reading matter. Have at least one good
paper; tits almost as necessary in these days

tools

BALM.

Dreamily drifting downward,
The apple blossoms come,
In the flush of the golden evening,
AS the little birds fly home;
Softly, softly falling,
Falling to the ground,
The air is pink with the blossoms,
Drifting like spirits around.
Freshly the fragrance fioateth
Out on the sunset air,
Softly the light breeze watts IL
In at the window there;
Where softly, softly sleeping,
In a slumber long and deep,
Lie mother and her badly,
And DER them none to weep.
Freshly the breeze comes, waiting
In at the window there,
A shower of scented snOw-fiakes
On the woman's hair
On to the snowy bosom
On to the baby's cheek
Like sign of pardon and healing
To the erring and the weak.
On, heart so warm and weary,
Walking the ways of life;
The world shall not Judge thee longer
Nor be with thee 81 strife.
Thou hast found the balm of healing,
Gods rest is upon thee now
And His fragrant benediction.
In the blossoms on thy brow.

"mOrHER's FOOL

ssThese boys will make their mark in life;
They never were made to handle hoe,
And AZ once to college they ought TO go.

Great men in this world are sure to be;
But Tom, he's little above fool

AS he sets his mug of cider down,

Than both of his brothers do IN three.
Book learnin' will never plant beans or corn
Nor hoe potatoes, sure as you're Dorm
Nor mend rod of broken fence;
For my part, give me common Fense
But his wife the roast was bound to rule,
And so s'the boys were sent to school;
While Tom, of course, was left behind,
For his mother said he mad no nina.
Five years at school the students spent,
Then each one into business went
John learned to play the flute and n Idle,
And parted his hair (of course) in the middle.
Though his brother looked rather higher than
he,
And hung out his shingle-"H. Brown, NJ. ID. -
Meanwhile, at home, their brother Tom
Had taken a "notion" iDto his head,
Though he said not word, but trimmed his

But somehow, either by shook or crook"
He managed TO read full many book.
Well, the war broke out, and "Captain Tom, "
To battle hundred soldiers led;
And Wnen the enemy nag went uOWh, =.
Came marching home as "GeneraI Brown"
But he went to work on the farm again,
Planted his corn and sowed his grain,
Repaired the house and broken fence,
And people said he had common seuse."
Now, common sense was rather rare,
And the state house needed a portion there;
So our "family Ounce" moved into town,
And the people called him "Governor Brown; :;
And his brothers, that went to the city to
school,
Came home to live with mothers fool"

No RAIN FOR THREE MoNTus.--
There is little strip of country, not
more than three miles wide, between
the six mile and twelve milo. creeks,
in Union County, on which no rain
has fallen since the 19th Of last May.
The stricken territory extends to the
Clay Hill country, in York County,
S, O., and everything in it is, of
course, burnt up. There have been
good rains on both sides of this dry
strip, but hardly drop has fallen on
it.-Charlotte IN. C) Observer.

When Rogues Fall Out.

COLUMBIA, August lit is con-
fdently asserted by those in a posi-
tion to know that Kimpton will GER
tainly testify here on one day next
week. While my informant is ma
turally reticeut upon the subject, he
expresses no apprehension upon that
head, and furthermore informed me
that Niles @. Parker can throw q
degree of light upon the whole mat
ter not given before, and which will
have due weight upon the controver-
sy now pending. Mr.. Parker has
been here for more than a week, and
while his presence in Columbia has
not excited unusual Comment, it is
useless to deny that he will provo an
important factor in the solution of
some very grave questions with
which the present investigation is
closely connected. His presence
here, coupled with the arrest of Kimp
ton, gave rise to the reported rcqni-
sion for Scott, which has been so au-
thoritatively denied.
l can state empbatically that should
Kimpton be produced, Parker will
also testify, and some of the inside
history of financial matters in the
State several years ago will be
brought out through a channel least
expected. There is no love lost be
tween Chamberlain, Kimpton, Pat
terson and Scott on the one side and
Parker on the other, aud the latter in
convc' eatirn with your correspond
ent, evinces no longer a disposition
to shoulder the short cominps of q
ring to whose Vaccinations he feels
himself a victim.
Mr.. Parker read the report of the
committee Oh frauds published in the
News and Courier to day, and Seems
ed quite amused at some portions of
the tes'imony-nOtably that of Judge
Mackcy wherein he tcsliies that he
was led to inspect the letter handed
him by Kimp'on and Pa,ters n to
himself (ParkeD because the enve-
lope had become unsealcd. IParker
is evidently determined to save HIM
sell i'll this possibly his last chance,
regardless OF the cost to his late as
sociate. lie feels that he has suffered
persecution and obIoquy long enough,
and that there is no farther need of
the exercise of forbeararce.
Senator John r. Cochran has re-
mained in Columbia during most OF
the summer, and possibly he may
lind it necessary to call his commit

certain gentlemen who have not
found it convenient to v isit this Sfato
since Democratic supremacy.
