Our American oyster surpasses in
size and fairness all other oysters Of the
world. He is found all along our sea
shore, from Maine to Mexico, but in
greatest abundance and most generous
growth from Long Island Sound to
Chesapeake Bay. On the Pacific Coast
the oyster Is not nearly 50 large as on
the Atlantic, although the little oysters
Of California are much esteemed for
their flavor. In England oysters are
both small and scarce. II Is not mere
size that makes the oysters desirable.
Some very la &c oysters are flabby and
watery and make poor eating. Until
comparatively recent improvements in
rapid transportation the luxury Of fresh
oysters was rarity TO jewellers in the
inland parts Of the United States. Even
as far East as Pittsburg " shell oysters
were so far from common rs TO be the
subject Of special signs in restaurant
windows. The general public who ate
oysters partook Of the canned article.
Twenty years ago people advertised As
special attraction at church fairs and
other festivals such canned oysters as
we Of the seaboard would consider
hardly fit to offer dogs. Since that time
great Improvements have been made in
canning oysters, and they now may be
quoted as really fit To eat when freshly
opened ones can not be procured. An
immense canned business Is done in
Philadelphia, as well as In Baltimore
and New York.

The Newspaper Business,

Here is how a brother journalist puts it:
We suppose that many people think that
newspaper men are persistent duns; let far
mer place himself in similar business po-
sition and see if he would not do the same.
Suppose he raised one thousand bushels of
wheat, and his neighbor should come and
buy bushel, and the price was q small
matter of only two dollars or less, and the
neighbor says, 81 will hand you the amount
in few days" AS the farmer did not
want to be small about the matter, he says
all right, and the man leaves with the
wheat. Another comes in the same way
until the whole of the one thousand bush
els of wheat are trusted out to one thous-
and different persons, and not one of the
purchasers concerns himself about it, for it
is small amount that he owes the farmer,
and of course that would not help him any.
He does not realize that the farmer has
FILTERED away all his large crop of wheat,
and that its value is due him in q thous-
and little driblets and that lie is seriously
embarrassed in his business because his
debtors treat it as little matter. But If
all would pay him promptly, which they
could do as well as not, it would be very
large amount to the farmer, and enable him
to carry on his business without difficulty.
The above comparison is too true of the
difficulties that the newspaper man has to
| contend with.

Times are hard. Every one says So
They said so last year, they said so five
years ago, they said so ten, twenty, thirty
years ago, in fact, we never knew the time
when the public failed to vote unanimous
ly that the times were hard. If you ask
our merchants, they will say they sell few
goods on credit. Ifyou 60 into the coun-
try you will see cribs full of corn and fields
with cotton. You there see industry un-
surpassed by any country in the world
You find the most improved machinery for
ginning cotton, and it is common to hear
the steam whistle in the country as in town.
You see young men whose fathers and
mothers went to meeting horseback, now
dash up to the meeting house with red
buggy with his girl, with tied back dress
and kid gloves. The most casual observer
will tell you that the stock of the country
was never in q better condition, and that
there are finer horses, bigger and fatter
mules, and more Berkshire hogs in the
country than were ever known before. In
the country you see residences built upon
the most modern style with modern con-
veniencss. We know of houses erected in
the country that are superior to many and
equal to the best in town. Farmers are MAX
ing money gradually, slowly but surely,
and we are sure that this nation, all things
considered, has grown in wealth, and is to-
day better off than ever. The little towns
may suffer, but the country is getting

Wiutering the Celery.

or all the crops of the garden that of
celery is the most uncertain, the most Ia
borious and the most expensive to raise
1t is more than all these it is the most
difficult to raise in good sound condi-
ton through the winter and to the middle
of April ut least, as it ought to he, to COM
pensate the producer fully. We profess to
have had good deal of experience with
the celery crop, and we have usually as
successful yield as is to be found in any
well managed garden.
In storing the crop for the winter we
have usually pursued two modes which
have answered well. The first is to re-
move the celery to high and dry gound,
dig straight trench spade deep, stand up
a row of plants singly, then another row,
with some earth between and so on until
about six rows are done when commence
another bed, and so on.
The soil should be packed in firmly and
then banked up, so that the tops oft6e cell
cry are just covered, then spank off roof
fashion to turn the rain. Over this two
wide boards, nailed together, should be
placed, as security against moisture, or
straw can be bent over and secured at the
bottom with bean poles, and little gut
ter to carry off the water at each side
Celery put away thus carefully ought to
keep till May.
Another plan to sink barrels into the
earth SO that the tops are two or three in
ches below the surface, then stand them
compactly full of celery, without any soil
put tight covers upon them. so as to ex-
clude all moisture, and then couple in
ches of soil.
For early consumption-that is to say in
December and January-it can be pre-
served In the rows where it it grown, prop
erly covered and protected against mois-
ture.- Germantown Telegraph.

Take Care Of the Implements.

1t is lamentable fact that large ma
jority OF our farmers lose as much from
want of proper care oftools as from the &C.
tual wear-and-tear of them. Repeated
wettlng and drying Injuries, sooner or later,
any kind of woodwork the moisture get
ting into the cracks soon begins the work
of decay. This may be prevented by the
timely and occasional application of some
cheap paint. Much has been said and
written upon the value of tool houses and
it is hardly necessary for us to add our
mite to the general array but providing
the tool is not all that should be
done, if the shovels, spades and forks are
brought into the tool house with the dirt
sticking to them, and in that condition are
allowed to remain through the winter, or
until they are again needed. Practical
farmers know how much better bright
pillow turns furrow, how much easier it is
on the team and driver, and yet they will
bring their plows and harrows in every fall
with the dirt sticking to them, and let
them be so until again wanted, much to
their own loss.
There are various mixtures which might
be applied to the iron to prevent rusting,
the cheapest of which is common (unsalt-
ed) grease. A better article may be formed
by melting together six pounds OF fresh
mot salted) lard and two of rosin. An
old iron pot is good thing to keep and
compound the mixture in. AS soon as a
tool is done being used for the season clean
it off and give it a coat of this mixture and
even if it remains undisturbed for years, it
will come out as bright as when put away.
Implements properly cared-for will not
only last nearly twice as long as when this is
not the case, but, as we said before, they
are far better in every way.-Germantosc

Fighting for Life.

A KENTUCKIAN's STRUGGLE WITH BEAR.
From a gentleman who has lately been
travelling in Rowan, Garter and other
mountain countries, we learn that a farmer
named Wilson, living in the upper part of
Rowan, had terrible contest with bear
few days since, in which Wilson barely
escaped with his life. Wilson was hunt
ing late in the afternoon for squirrels and
came close upon his bearship before he had
an idea that such dangerous monster
was anywhere near him. The bear, instead
of retreating, made for Wilson, the latter
only had time to draw his weapon and fire.
The gun, however, was loaded with small
shot and the only effect upon the bear was
to make him, if anything, more ferocious.
Wilson had no time to run, and, clubbing
his gun, hit the bear several furious ticks
over the head in rapid succession.
He broke the gun into many pieces, and
then, remembering that he had large pen
knife in his pocket, he drew the same and
opened it, but before he could use it the
bear dealt him stunning blow with his
paw, which felled him to the earth and for
moment stunned him. He held on to
the knife, and when the bear jumped on
him he dealt the beast some furious blows
in the abdomen, the blood saturating his
clothes. The bear bit him severely on the
left arm and scratched him painfully about
the neck and arms. Wilson made good
use OF his knife, and the bear, feeling the
thrust so acutely, wheeled around quickly
to escape them. Wilson took advantage
of the movement, and, jumping to his feet,
ran rapidly away. The bear pursued him
for some distance, but being weak from the
loss of blood abandoned the chase. Will
son was several miles from home and was
getting weak from the loss of blood. At
ter considering himself safe from further
pursuit, he took off his shirt, bound up his
wounds as we'll as he could and started for
home. He arrived some time after dark,
exhausted and in precarious
condition.
