Stone Boats.

AT no time In the year, are stone
boats so much in request as at this sea-
son, when there are so many heavy
things to carry to and from the barn
and field. The harrows, plows, bags
or barrals ofgrain, and fertilizers, with
other things that are often taken across
plowed ground, are best conveyed on a
stone-boat. Every farmer should have
one or moro Of these low and handy
vehicles, which costs but trinc for
lumbeF and bolts, and can be made in
the sh6N on rainy day. All things
considered, the kind made from two
inch PLANK, sawed with an upturncd

HUMOROUS.

WE have ''ihe'' smart boy in Contre.
Vile, California. 10 explain all,
must first tell you of his father. Like
many gentlemen here he takes his cod
liver oil and whisky each morning.
Of course such an opportunity of i'm
pressing temperance principals upon
the youthful mind could not be lost.
So-each dose went down with shiyer,
terrible frown and exclamation. "Boo
could stand the cod liver oil. but this
whisky"-another shiver-s'is dread
full"
Our hoy listened and stored it oil up
In his youthful mind. The other day
he was cleaning out the top shelf of a
closet for his mother. "Ma, what's
this ?"
Mother looks cautiously and smells.
"Oh rancid cod liver OIL" Soon an
other bottle is handed down, another
and another; contents varying from a
tteaspoonful to half cup, all t'spoilt cod
liver oil.' At last the youngster raised
his eyebrows and gravely remarked {:
Ma, It's funny that pa let's all this
good cod liver oil spoil, but never q
drop OF the whisky!"
