Where there is danger from rats,

Timely attention should be paid
to the mending OF the fences. Dc
not forget that the third fourth
and fifth rails from the bottom are
the most important OF all, and that
these must be strong, stra ght, and
near enough together to prevent
hogs getting through, or there will
be trouble with them all the time
your crops are growing
Ponds, bitches, stumps, stones
ard other implements in fields,
whereby laud is wasted. or made
10 remain Idle, is like giving notes
on tie farm at 20 per cent. interest.
Every foot within the compass Of
a field ought TO lie made productive,
and unless this is the case a half
dozen little losses are repeating
themselves every time tie field IS
cultivated.
Fruit and shade trees may be set
now, il The ground be not frozen,
az well as any other time. Small
blanls are best. and if good care
8 taken OF them they will grow up
sooner than larger trees severely
pruned. Tie planting OF sappling
maple. birch, ETC., for shade, and
saving off tie centre top and large
branches. and expect the stumps
to grow off and make fine trees, is
simply to act IN ignorance OF ma
lures laws. You do not thus get
a fine tee one Tine in fifty. Plant
young trees only three or four feet
IN height, aud prunc Jut slightly.
The farmer who at this season
spends his evenings in ene'ul study
of his farm and tie crops he pro-
poses 10 raise, is laying solid
foundation on which to build, and
thereby adds five bushels of corn
to the Gre, fifty pounds Of cotton,
ten bushels to his peanuts, or a
hundred pounds to his tobacco,
Just as ce.toinly as the man who
expends ten or twenty dollars per
acre for fertilizers without such
study. Our farms axe sadly IN
need f b an work, and in this
case it is The brain OF the farmer
himself that must be exercised.
Other men cannot do his thinking
for him, and the best that writers
can do is 10 present practical HATS,

A Singing tpeecli.

An addition was recently made to
The county jail in Patterson, New Jer-
sey, at cost eff $4,000 When it
was completed the county officers and
contractors celebrated the event by
banquet 10 the building. There were
liquors in great abundance. After a
number of toasts had been drunk the
gentleman presiding "a judge pros
posed "Tbe Temperance Cause" 1t
was probably done because they were
getting pretty drunk. hr. Bartram,
temperance man, was called on to re-
spond, and he did so in the following
singing speech, which some Of hem,
perhaps, will never forget. He said
81 thank you for this invitation,
and recognize its fitness. You have
assembled to celebrate the enlargement
of this Jail, rendered necessary by the
use of strong drink, in which you are
so freely INDUCING this day. Down
stairs the cellars and corridors are
crowded With criminals who have but
changed places. A few years ago they
were respected citizens, some Of them
occupying as reponsible positions as
those filed by yourselves; but they
commenced as you have commenced.
and they ntiuued as many Of you are
continuing, and to-day they are reap-
ing the harvest in a career If crime
and paving the punishment. At this
this moment another bottle was opened
and Mr., Bartram said hear the
popping Of cork. listen to the merry
voices and the praises you are singing
to the internal spirit of wine; but
there comes to me the refrain from the
prisoners cell, who is shedding tears
over bis folly, accompanied by The still
ssdder wall of anguish uttered b. the
broken hearted wife, verse than Wild
owed through the traffic in strong
drink. which as Judge in your court
said, lis the great prOmtiye of crime,
a traffic licensed by your votes and
sustained by the patronage you this
day are giving it. 1t is with mex
pressible sadness that | discover there

many men with hearts so hardened,
feelings 50 calloussd, sensibilities so
blupted, tina, in place like this, under
circumstances ,ike this, they dare raise
to their lips that which depraves the
citizen aud endangers the State
"Thanking you, gentlemen, for this
unexpected privilege, will take my
seat, fully conscious that you will never
again call on me under similar cIrcum-
stances"

SPEAKING WELL OF OTHERS. If the
disposition to speak well of others
were universally prevalent, the world
would become a comparative paradise.
The opposite disposition is the Pandora
box, which, when opened, fills every
house aud every neighbOrhood with
paiu and s)rrow. How many enc
mics and heart burnings flow from
this source. How much happiness is
interrupted and destroyed Envy.
jealousy, and the malignant spirit Of
evil, when they fad vent by the lips,
90 forth on their mission like foul
fiends to blast the reputation and
peace Of others. Every one has bis
imperfections; and in the conduct of
the best there will be occasional
faults which might seem to justify
auimadyersion. 1t is q good rule,
however, when there Is occasion for
fault finding to do it privately to the
erring one. This may prove salutary.
1t is a proof of interest 10 the Judi
vidual which will generally be taken
kindly, if the manner Of doing it lie
not offensive. The common and un-
christian rule, on the contrary, is to
proclaim the failings of others to all
but themselves. THIS is unchristian,
and shows despicable heart.

The Farmers and the Rail
roads.

The following sensible remarks
are from an address by Hoa. K.
G Ingersoll before an agriculture
gathering:
Another idea entertained by most
farmers is that they are in some
mysterious way oppressed by every
other kind of bushes; that they
are devoured by monopohes, esPe-
cially by railroads:
OF course the railroads are in
debted to the farmers for their
prosperity, and the farmers are in
dcbted to the railroads. The rail-
roads are your friends. They are
your partners. They can prosper
only where the country through
which they run prospers. All in
telligest railroad men know this.
They know that present robbery is
future bankruptcy. They know
that The interest of the farmer and
OF tie railroad is the same. We
must have railroads. What can
we 90 without them ? When we
had 10 railroads we drew, as |
said before, our grain two hundred
miles TO market. In those days
the farmers did not stop at hotels
They slept under the wagons, took
with them their food, tried their
own LacOn, made their own coffee,
and ale their meals in the snow
and rain. Those were the days
when they received ten cents per
bushel for corn, when they sold
tour bushels OF potatoes tor quar-
ter, thirty three dozen eggs for a
dollar, and hundred pounds OF
pork for S1'50.
What has made the difference !!
The railroads CAME to your door,
and they brought with them the
markets of the world. They
brought New York, and Liverpool,
and London into Illinois, and the
State has been clothed with pros
perity rs with a mantle.
1t is the interest Of the farmer 20
protect every great interest IN the
State. In these iron highways
more than time hundred million
dollars have been invested-a sum
equal 10 ten times the original cost
of all lie land in the State. 10
make var upon the railroads IS a
sAcri-sl.hied and suicidal policy.
HEY should be tIeaei fairly, and
should lie taxed by tie same stand
ara thai farms ave taxed, and ID
10 other way. Ii We visa to pros
per We must act together, and we
must see TO it that every tom OF

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BROwN's IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and 1t will
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
