Facts for Farmers.

seasons, after which the produce de.

In feeding, farmers should remembel

In sowing orchard grass and clover or
the same ground, it is recommended tc
SOW the two kinds of seed separately
and also to divide the orchard grass into
Two parcels, and SOW it in two directions
This secures regularity in the distribu-
ZION and prevents the formation of tus.
socks. Some practice dampening the
SEED, but this Is not necessary if care be
taken, aud especially if it is sown as
suggested.
The following recipe for keeping ma.
ch1nery from rustiDg is worth noting
Take one-haif ounce of camphor, dis
solve in one pound eff melted lard, take
of the scum and mix in as much fine
black lead as will give it an iron color.
Clean the machinery and smear with
this mixture. After "a hours rub off
with soft linen cloth. 1t will keep
CLAN for months under ordinary cir
cums.ances.
A profitable investment for a farmer
is small but good set of carpenters
tools. Let him fit up workshop with
a bench and vice ia some spare room in
his house or barn and he will be sur.
prised to find how hsndy it Is and how
soon it will pay for itself There is no
doubt but that a handy farmer can earn
more by doing his own repairing for
one or two seasons than the price for q
good set of tools. When q thing is brok.
en- it can be mended st once and the
work can progress which would other
wise have to wait.
Farmers have come to reaIiae that
swine do not flourish better when thev
are allowed to wallow in fflthiness. and
they are slowly but surely finding out
that all animals continue to thrive bet
ter in the same ratio that their accom-
and food are improved. Es.
pecially is this true of fowls, among
which it is safe to say fully nineteenths
of the diseases they suffer are caused by
vermin. The vermin would seldom ap.

Fowls should have plenty of room, fresh

An exchange gives the following
timely suggestions for the benefit of
those shipping calves to market After
killing, the calf should be hung I'D by
the hind legs, and the eDtrails, haslet, |
and gullet removed. The bum gut
should be cut loose from tbe hide and
all removed. Do not split the calf open
through the breast, or hind quarters,
but only from the bag to the breast bone.
Do not leave the head skin on, as the
BUYERS expect to have it cut off before
weighing the calf. Cut off the legs close
to the knee joint. Carefully wipe out
the blood with damp cloth. Let the
calf hang twelve hours in cold place,
where it will not freeze. and get per-
fectly cool and hard before shipping

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.

Under spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man is he;
With large and. .sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
As strong as iron bands.
His hair Is crisp, and black, and long.
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week In. week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow,
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from school
Look in the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from threshing-door.

Sail on. o UNION. strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears. o.
With all the hopes of future years,

We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat -
Were shaped the anchors OF thy hope,
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock
IT'S but the Tapping Of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore, =
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!

Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears.

1 WONDER WHY.

I wonder why it is that some
Through all thsir days and nights and year,
Gather the sunshine of this life,
And others are only clouds and tears?
I wonder why it is that some
Dance, laugh, and jest, while others weep?
That some no wakeful hours see,
While some know not what 'tis to sleep?
wonder why 1t Is that balm
Into some lives Is always poured,
While others know not what 1t is
To hear a sympathetic wordT
Think not jeer or murmnr Ut
This mixture of life's bliss and woe.
Think not grumble or repine.
Ionly wonder that it's so.
For many a heart when touched by grief
Would bask in sunshine like Its mate,
And could appreciate a change
Although its coming might be late.
And many lips would taste life's wine,
And harvest of each coming year,
And many a heart rejoice to find
Fair, ripened corn within the ear.
But long as life goes on there'll be
For some, rich bliss, for others, woe;
And though murmur not or sigh,
wonder that 1t must be SO.

are made to do service in different parts
of the country. While several wild
plants are very acceptable, none equal

Health Hints

Neuralgia and to0thache are some
times speedily relieved by applying to
the wrist quantity of bruised or grated
norseradish.
Insect bites, and even that of rattle
snake, have passed harmless by stirring
enough of common salt into the yelk OF
a good egg to make it sufficiently thin
for plaster. to be Kept on the bitten
part.
Erysipelas, disease coming without
premonition, and ending fatally in three
or four days, is sometimes very prompt
ly cured by applying poultice of raw
cranberries pounded, and placed Oh the
part over night.
Common rice, parched brown, like
coffee, and then bottled and eaten in the
ordinary way. without any other food,
is, with quietude of body, one of the
most effective remedies for troublesome
looseness of the bowels.
Costive bowels have an agreeable
remedy in the free use of ripe tomatoes
at meals-their seeds acting in the way
OF Che white mustard or figs, by stimu-
lating the coat of the bowels over which
they pass, in their whole state, to- in
creased action.
At this season of the year ones hair
is liable to fall out. TO prevent it, wet
your hair thoroughly with good brandy
Tor bay rum, brush it we'll and carefully
with coarse comb. Wash the head
occasionally with sponge dipped in
tepid water and amonia, rinse it well and
wipe and brush until dry. Ones hair
should not come out if properly cared
tor and if the health Is good.
Some Of the severest forms of the dis.
tressing ailment called dysentery, that
I is, when the bowels pass blood. with
constant desire, with vain efforts tc
stool, are sometimes entirely cured by
the patient eating tablespoonful at the
time of raw beef cut up very fine, anC
repeated at intervals of four hours, un
til cured, eating and drinking nothing
else in the meanwhile.

Pre- Historic Miners of Lake Superior
S. G. SlLsBY,
Chairman.

Pre- Historic Miners Of Lake Superior
The copper mines now worked IN
Michigan, on the shores of Lake Su.
perlor, are situated on the workings of
that interesting race, the copper min
ers OF Lake Superior. Their excava-
tons can he readily traced at depth
OF from 10 to 90 feet in the solid rock
Their pits. Oh the Isle Royale alone,
covering an area of more than mile
and half i'll length. Their hammers
frequently amounting to several thou
sand, are found in large heaps. AL
though they carried away an enor
nous quantity of copper, and must
have worked through many years, vet
they seem never to have known that
copper could be smelted, for they lett
all fragments too small to use. aud the
masses too heavy to lift, and no traces
Oh the action of fire have ever been
discovered. Some Cornish miners
working recently in one of the mines
cut down a dead cedar. As they were
hewing 1t out small but perfectly
formed hammer dropped from the cen.
tie OF the log. The tree was found to
be nearly $50 years old, and had been
dead hundreds f years. How curious
1t seems that the Cornish miners have
come from the East to continue tho
work OF a departed Asiatic race. who
came from the West at a period far
back in the shadowy past.
