Putkway Your Tools.

There are various ways in which
farmers fail to economic. Among
others, they never take care Of the
implements used on the farm. The
Ak, is left on the ground at the wood'
pile, the reaper graces an apple tree
in the front yard, the wagon and cart
stand exposed TO sunshine and rain,
and such is the way all the agricultu-
al implements are neglected and left
to exposure and ruin. If cheap paint
is used on wagons, plows, etc., no
moisture would get into the cracks OF
the wood and bring about decay. Far
mer, build you a tool house it will
cost you butlittle. Gither your plows,
hoes, spades, harrows, etc, clean them
nicely, paint all the wood work, then
mix six pounds of fresh (not salted)
lard and two Of rosin, and when you
are through using the tool, give it a
coat of this mixture. IF this is done,
the tools will last longer and be bet

Do Bees Pay Farmersi

Does it pay farmers to keep bees ?
l say of course it does. Keeping bees
is pleasant, as well as profitable
employment. Farmers cultivate the
lands upon which grow all the sweet
1owers-white clover, etc. They al
SO have a workshop in which they or
their helpers can in the winter season,
when there is littts to DO, make the
boxes and have them all ready for the

the main. lose no me at all, hut in
the fall reap a bountiful harvest of
honey upon which to feed the balance
of the year. Yes, it pays farmers to
keep bees, after which to enjoy the
sweets of their own labor. If farmers
ought not to keep bees, who ought?

EOn't Lose a Moment.

Keep busy. The man who las
nothing to do is the most miserable of
beings If you have no regular work,
do chores that farmers do when it
rains too hard in the field. In occu>
patton we forget our troubles, and get
a respite from sorrow. The man
whose hands and mind are busy finds
no time to weep and wall. If work is
slack spend the time in reading. No
man ever knew too much. The hard

men who know the most. IF yot like

Wealth and Taxation in Tenn.

A correspondent of the Courier
Journal says: Many maintain that
the people of Tennessee are poorer
now than they were previous to the
creation of the debt; but the figures
show the assertion 10 be incorrect.
As compared witt other states and
territories, Tennessee is twentY-frst
in area ninth in population;' seventh
in land in farms tenth in improved
lands; ninth in farm productions :
thirteenth in wheat raised ; seventh
in corn ; third ia tobacco;' fourteenth
in WOO; ninth in value of 1--we stock;
twelfth in number of houses; second
in mules and asses; twelfth in mich
cows; fifth in oxen; twelfth in other
cattle; eth in swineS nine III slaugh
tered animals; and fifth in home man.
ufactures.
The rate of taxation is very low,
as will he shown By comparison with
other states. Alabama, in 1877. paid
70 cents; Mississippi, 60 cents; Virg'a,
so cents; Arkansas, 81; South Ger
DINA, 20 cents; Florida, 80 cents;
Louisiana, s1.45 ; Georgia, 80 cents
and Tennessee 10 cents on the hun
dred dollars worth of property. Sure
ly the people cannot consistently COM
plain of burdensome taxation after
seeing the heavy tax paid by the peo-
pie of sister states. To an unpreju-
diced mind it would appear that
decrease in the rate of taxation can

ss the figure now PGid is far below
that levied in many STATES.

A great deal of inquiry has recent
ly been made as to Why Commissioner
Killebrew's map of Tennessee has not
yet made its. appearance. 1t is easily
answered. 1t only awaits an appro>
priation from the Legislature to put
it in print. 1t has just heen camPle-

particular is saying no more than the
truth. 1t embraces all the counties

Hints for Farmers.


During the months between now and
planting, consider carefully how this
remedy may be applied. Begin this
fall by carefully selecting from your
crops the seed for next years use; for,
as we have repeatedly shown, good
seed is all the foundation of large
crops. Consider carefully whether to
pillow in the fall or spring, bringing all
your past experience to bear on your
decision. Stop all the wastes that
you find, aud even seek carefully for
wastes to be stopped. Re:iew your
past failures and successes, and search
out the causes which operated, and
decide how to obviate the one, and
gain the other, the coming season.
Carefully reflect on your methods of
feeding in the winter months, and ask
yourself whether a change Of system
may not be profitable. A dollar saved
here is a dollar earned; and frequent>
" the sale of one kind of produce,
and the purchase of another, brings
profit. When hay bfings q good price
and straw is cheap, cannot the straw
be fed proftably through the use Of
roots and cotton seed meal and bal
ance in money be secured? Have you
facilities for rearing spring lambs for
the early market More important
sill, consider how much land you
have which is rot producing, and yet
which can be made productive. Ii
you have such land, it is certainly fol
~ to leave this capital idle. Is it
question of manure? Then carefully
scheme how manure may he best pro
vided, and whether you cn!l purchase
artificial fertilizers and use them ad-
vantageously. Now, before the hurry
time, is your opportunity for Studying
into these things, and deciding what
fertilizer 3 tie most promising for
you.
Have you the tools necessary for
your spring work? IfnOt, now is tho
time to exiiffine into the merits of va
rious Inventions and 10 calculate
which You can best afford to buy, if at
all. Usually tool car he purchased
more advantageously in winter than
in summer. Often there are too many
tools on the firm, but some of which
are not adapted to your use. Often
again you do not possess enough, nor
of the right kind. In the winter time
reflect on these sui jects, and have de-
cision ready when planting time again
comes about. Carefully loo! over
your years expenses, and think wheth-
er there has not been waste there which
NAV be rectiied. Calculate on next
years plans under your past system,
and with caution, consider how your
system may be improved so that the
same or more work can be accomplish
ed with less lnJns,y. BE not too ready
to adopt the new, but be ever ready
to reject the old when your experience
indicates that a gain may be expected
to follow. Here, as elsewhere, use
wise caution, which is not conservr-
tism, but common sense. Finally,
do cot depend on your paper for all
your Ideas, but seek your own hints.
1t you do this honestly, you will keep
me miranda of your experience, and
will quickly recognize the Importance.

principles to this work-and this day

be prosperous and progressive.
