Tools ON THE FARM-When farmers
are in the city this fall, laying in their sup
plies they should ge; set of tools. No
farm can be run properly without them.-
There IS always something to mend, and If
mended at onceit will save much trouble
and expense. A good farmer should all
ways keep his eyes open TO see where re
pairs are needed. Implements, gates, doors,
fences, partitions, and hundred other little
things need watchful attention. Then, in
stormy weather. many needed things can be
made if one has good tools The boys will
learn to be handy with them, and their me-
chanical talent can be exercised. There arc
also portable FORCES TO be had, and they are
useful on every farm Every good farmer
ought 10 be able TO shoe his own horses
Horseshoes, of various sizes, can be bought
cheap, and any man Of good Judgment can
nail them on There is generally too much
cutting and burning done by biacksmiths.
a good rasp is about ali that is needed
Get good level bearing on the hoof, and
naa on the shoe. Any one that can drive
a mad IN plank, can learn 10 drive and
clinch il in horses hoof. Never cut away
the frog or the bars These keep the hoof
spread and healthy and prevents the con-
faction Of the foot.

Cultivating Peach orehares,

A correspondent in our last
number very properly objects
to mutilating the roots of the
trees while they are in a grow
ing state, and speaks ofthe har-
row as the only implement to
used at such times. We may
add that the blowing, to be
done in autumn, or early in the
spring before the swelling of the
buds. should be graduated in
depth somewhat according to
the depth of the soil over the
mass of roots; but later in the
season only such harrows should
be employed as do not catch
hold of the roots and tear them
up, as with a common vertical
tooth Implement. There are
three kinds of harrows which
may be used in orchards to adj
vantage. First, and running
deepest, are the disc harrows,
of which there are several pat
ents, but all operating an the
same general principle. that is,
of the wheels or discs rolling
over the roots. The second is
the Shares harrow, which cuts
nearly as deep, and the teeth
pass over the roots like the run
ners of a sled, and without ia
ken hold of them, As both
these cut to some depth, it may
be safest to use them in spring
only. The third is the Thomas
smoothing harrow, which, act
ing more nearly on the surface
can never injure roots at any
time during the summer; and
leaving the ground smooth, it
forms a good surface for the
dropping and picking of the
fruit CoHnkyy Gentleman.

Ornesby and Pollock, of
Johnson county were on their
way to Dallas when they quar-
relied about lady. one drew
his pistol and fired at the other
who in attempting to draw his
bulldog was thrown from his
horse and had his leg broken.
This stopped hostilities. The
broken-legged man was help

= Mrs. Mary Allen, living
in Dallas county, was bitten on
the wrist by a rattlesnake while
digging potatoes few days ago.
She chopped the snake to pieces
sucked the wound, applied a
piece of the snake to it and
went the house and drank some
whiskey. Her arm swelled
considerably but no serious re-
suit is feared.

FRYING RAW PoTaToEs.-we suppos-
ed We knew how to fry raw potatoes, but
found we were mistaken when a lady
friend who came TO stop with US a few days
convinced us that she had better way.
And such little difference there was in
the cooking Of them, toto make them
so much nicer. The secret was in keep
ing them covered clocely as they were cook
ing The potatoes were washed, pared
and Sliced thin, put to sry in spider pre-
viously heated and buttered thes same as
was in tee habit Of doing; sailed to taste,
too, and to think that just keeping them
covered should make so much difference
and improvements the way of cooking
them They would CONG to the table SO
crispy and crnsted, with scarcely a slice
broken, owing to the care of handling,
when being turned over.

HrSTs FOR WASHING DAY.-Aunt Hattie
says in the Agriculturist: az The evening
previous TO wash day boil IN two gallons Of
soft water, four ounces each of sai-soda and
sliced harscap until dissolved. Put fine white
clothes in one tub-the coarse ones in another.
To the water in the boiler add enough cold
water to make il luke warm, then pour over
the clothes, and cover the tubs with blanket.
In the morning add pail of hot wafer to the
fine clothes, rub them well from this, and rub
again in fresh water; boil ~ minutes in suds,
rinse in blue water and hang ont to dry
Treat the eoarser clothes the same way. Ny
celored clothes are washed, rinsed and starch
ed before hanging out. In siarching muslins,
shirt-bosoms and wristbands, after the shirt
bosom has been dipped and wring out as dry
as possible, use boiled starch rubbed in and
pafted well with the hands, This is n secret
known to all good laundresses, and it is al
most impossible to keep the iron from sticking
unless this precaution Is observed. | always
use cold starch for shirt collars Mix thor
oughly two teaspoonsfhl of starch in half a cup
ofwafer, dipthe collar, wiring rub, pat, spread
on n clean towel, and when all are done, roll
up in the towel and iron in about an hour.

The Dream of Life.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE

Twas but bubble-yet twins bright,
And gaily danced along the stream
Of life s wild torrent in the light
OF sunbeams sparkling~-like dream
OF Heaven a own bliss for loyeliness-
For letters like passing hought;
And ever of such dreams as these
The tissue ofmy life is wrought,
For have dreamed of pleasure when
The sun of Young experience smiled
Upon my Maynard path, and then
Her promised sweets my heart beguiled.
But when come those sweets to sip,
They turned to gall upon my lip.
And had dreamed of friendship, too,
For friendship. had thought, was made
To be mans soiace in the shade,
And glad him In the light; and so
fondly thoaghi to find a friend
Whose soulwith mine would swectly blend
And as two placed streams unite
And roll their waters in one bright
And tranquil current to the sea,
Sninight our happy spirits be
Borne onward TO eternity;
But he betrayed me- and with pain
woke-to sleep and dream again.
And then dreamed of love, and all
The clustered visions of the past
Seemed airy nothings TO the last
Bright dream. II threw magical
Enchautment o'or existence-cast
A glory on my path so bright
i seemed TO breathe and feel its light;
But now that blissfnl dream Is DER,
And have walked to dream no more.
Beyond the furthest glimmering star
That wrinkles in The arch above,
There Is world of truth and love
Which earth IS vile passions never mar.
Oh, could snatch the eagle's plume,
And soar TO that bright world away,
Which Gods own light illunes
| With glories of eternal day!
| How gladly every lingering tie
| That birds me down to earth I'D sever,
And leave for that blest home on high,
This hollow hearted world forever.

for the locality, as some varieties will do
much better in one locality than another,

MEssR's J. H. ZEILIs & Co. =
Gentlemen,-We, the undersigned, engin-
GERS, on the Georgia Central Railroad, in
grateful obligation for the benefits We receiv-
ed from the use Of Simmons Liver Regulator
during the Yellow Fever Epidemic in Savan-
nah, Ga, during thh summer and fall of
1876, desire to make the following statement !:
That during the aforesaid epidemic, we used
the medicine known as Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, prepared by j. H. Zeilin & Co., and
though exposed to the worst miasmatic in1u-
ences by going in and coming ont of Savan-
nah at different hours of the night, and also
in spending entire nights in the city during
the prevalence of the most fatal epidemic,
with bnt the single exception of one of us,
who was taken sick, but speedily recovered,
We continued in our usual good health, cir
cumstance we can account for in no other
way but by the effect, under Providence, of
the habitual nse of Simmons Liver Kegula-
tor while we were exposed to this yellow fe-
yer malaria.
Respectfully Yours,
