FARM teams that are not worked
for some months during winter will
do better If turned into an open yard
where there is good shelter against
storms, than when kept in stable and
fed highly. Exercise and a change
OF feed is promotive of health, and
when thus wintered on coarse feed
till about four weeks before spring

taken in and well fed, getting them
in condition for work-they will be
in better health and more active in

A LATE decision in a Chicago

who has no opportunity for asccr-

are for articles for the exclusive use
of farmers--(the article in question

10 a fair illustration), and Therefore
farmers have a direct interest In the
repeal of this feature of the patent
laws, and should move in the matter
at once. When n farmer has pur.
chased and paid for the right to use
a patent pillow, or patent gate, OF
patent fence, he should be protected
IN that right. Possibly the "agenp
of whom he purchased was not the
lawful owner Of the patent, and had
no right TO sell; but this the pur.
chaser had no means of ascertaining.
and whatever may have been done to
the rightful owner, should be made
good by the pretender who derived
the pecuniary benefit from the trans

The Lancaster New Era publishes
an 'extract from Squire Trou's Di-
ary,' dated in April, 1862, giving an
account Of visit made upon that
day to the farm of n Mr.. Lintner, in
Lancaster township. The Squire was
privileged TO examine the books Of
the farm, and states the "profits" for
the year ending April |, 1856, to be
s3,35l.57. As the farm contained
but 2l9 acres this amounts 10 some.
thing more than S per cent. upon a
valuation of 5000 per acre. This
was before the days of tobacco in
Lancaster county, and this amount
was all derived from ordinary farm
products, iustifying the 'Squire's as.
sertion that "Mr. Lintner is the owner
Of one of the most valuable farms in
Lancaster county" We have Just
suspicion that the Squire inadvert-
emily fell into error in using the word
profits" and that the sum named
represents the total income from the
farm, from which the expenses should
be deducted to find the true profits.

A special dispatch from Wheatland,
Iowa, ,sOf the 18th instant says: "This place and
| all the surrounding country have had occasion to

up terrible rain shower, which was accompanied
by terrific bursts of thunder and flashes of light
ming almost binding. 1t lasted about three hours
and then subsidized, although it remained dark and
lowering all day to-day. About six o'clock this
evening the storm broke out again, and, increas-

thunder was the most appalling ever heard, and
the lightning fierce and incessant. The
wind blew the water along in a great

southwestern horizon, and sooner than can tell
it the whole heavens, from east to west and north
to south, were one blaze of glory, in color some

in the broadest MONDAY light. The earth and
water took on tawny, fiery cast, and phos

Faces looked blue and ghastly, while the light
was so intensely perfect that a pin lying
upon the ground was clearly visible to a
standing person. This light lasted fully twenty
minutes, and gradually faded until the skies were
of bluish-red hue, and so they remained until
nine o'clock or about forty minutes. During this
time great balls of fire would shoot athwart the
northern heavens from east to west at uncertain
intervals. One came out of the sky, and seemed
to stand for full second motionless and then sent
out from every side and in many different direc
