Good Things Well Said.

The man who cuitiyatcs his land

not Doe troubled with foul weeds of
any kind. It is the slipshod or half

T. Rgo'.
The world is fast learning that
the financial value Of the farm pro-
duct exceeds that Of the factory and
transportation combined, although
all are essential to general prosperity.
England has made a serious mistake
IN sacrificing the farm TO the factory
aud to foreign commerce. The great
agricultural nations. such as America.
France and Germany, have advanced
faster than has the United Kingdom.
The United States has astonished
the world by its gigantic progress,
at the foundation Of which is its
agricultural wealth and development.

The Red Mans NOIe.

Among the personal effects of
the late +. W. Barbour, of Brad
ford, was found q leaf from the
Locomotive Engineers Journal y
of September, 1870, containing the
following:
Up in the wilds Of Cattaraugas
county, on tho Allegheny river, in
New York State, there dwell the
last sad remnants of several once
powerful and savage tribes of In.
dians. They live, hunt, fish, make
shingles and rustic chairs, on what
is termed the Indian reservation.
They do business in their own par.
ticular way, worship in their own
particular way, and eventually die
and are forgotten like the rest of
mankind.
Not long since Mr.. Ed. Barber
had occasion to sell one Of the
above described Indians, whose
name is John Sims, a pump. Mr..
Indian had not the necessary cash,
but offered his note for twenty
dollars, payable in twenty days,
for the property, which Mr.. Barber
accepted, and this is the way the
note reads:
INDIAN COUNTY,

Mr.. Ed. Barber promise to pay
ix5 dollars in ix5 days. Paper no
fetch, money no bring, which am
cunts to same thing.

TO Preserve Timber.

A writer in an exchange says :
Il discovered many years ago that
wood could be made to last longer
than iron in the ground, but the
process is so simple that it was
not well to make stir about it. |
would as soon have poplar, bass
wood or ash as any other kind OF
timber for fence posts. | have
taken out Eastwood posts after
having been set for several years,
that were as sound when taken
out as when put in the ground.
Time and weather seemed to have
no effect on them. The posts can
be prepared for less than two cents
q piece. This is the recipe: Take
boiled linseed oil and stir in pull
verified coal to the consistency of
paint. Put q coat of this over the
timber, and there is no man who
will live to sec 1t rot"

A Strong Man.

In the Troy Times recently ap.
pearcd an article giving short
history of the life and doings of
Abner McIlrath, of Euclid, o., and
in that article he was represented
as the strongest man in America
while living with the exception of
that famous strong man of North
ern New York, Joseph Call. The
greatest feat of strength claimed
for McIlrath was the lifting of an
iron shaft which weighed 100
pounds and it is also stated that
he lifted it by grasping it with his
hands, which it is claimed, would
be equal to lifting twice that
weight in harness. 1t would be
useless to deny the fact that Alb
ner McIlrath was a mighty man;
but | propose TO give a short
sketch of the life of o man who
was little known outside of the
village of Granville Corners in
Washington County, where he was
born and spent most of q long
life. 1t is known Of him, and can
be proved, that he has performed
feats of strength unsurpassed by
any other man that has lived in
ancient or modern times, except
ing, ofcourse, the Biblical Samson
His name is or was Stearn Carpen-
ter, his occupation was that of a
farmer. Being naturally of q very
quiet, peaceable disposition, and a
member of the Society of Friends
he never did anything for display
to attract attention, but the feats
of strength that he Performed were
done more to satisfy himself and
see how much he could lift than
for any thing else: All of his lift
ing was done by main strength,
without harness of any kind. One
of his greatest feats was lifting a
box filed with iron which weighed
1900 pounds, which is equal to lift
ing $500 pounds in harness. He
lifted it with ease with his hands
by grasping a rope or chain which
was bound around the box TO Sc
cure it. He did not know the
weight of the box of iron at the
time, and was afterwards heard to
say that had he known it weighed
so near a ton he would have put on
the other hundred pounds aud lift
ed the whole. At another time he
lifted cannon that weighed l,40O
pounds and shouldered it. At
Comstock's Landing, on the Cham

plaign Canal, near Whitehall, one
day while waiting for a load of
merchandise, he lifted a barrel of
white lead with ease. The writer
of this article was an eyewitness
to this feat, besides a number of
others. His neighbors when kill.
ing hogs if Stearn happened to be
around, would ask him to guess
weights of hogs just killed. If it
happened to bea big one weigh.
ing 400 or 500 pounds he would
stoop down and twist his fingers
into the bristles, aud in that way
would lift the carcass clear from
the ground and guess on its weight.
He performed one of the greatest
feats of strength on record after he
had reached the age oi 20 years.
He lifted two twenty-four foot iron
rails by grasping one in each hand
and walking of with them. The
rails were resting ON wooden
horses, so he did not have TO
stoop down to lift them. One day
in haying time he was going from
the field with his men to the house
for dinner. They were walking
along the road together, when one
of the men for mischief, came up
behind him aud by n skillful trip
threw Carpenter down. lie gath.

about it. lie walked to the house
and after dinner; when returning
to the field with his men, they
came along to the place where the
man gave him the fall. Ho sudden.
ly turned upon this person, and
grasping him by the shoulders and
the seat of his trousers, lifted him
and hurled him high in the air

fence, by the side of which they
happened to walking. The man
came down in the medow n rod or
more from tho fence, considerably
shaken up, but not badly hurt. Nr.
Carpenter was not gigantic man
In size. lie was about O feet tall
and appeared much less than that
owing to his massive build. There
was no supcrhuous flesh upon him,
but the muscles of his arms,
shoulders and neck seemed to be
piled upon him, so great was their
size. This gave him a STOPPING ap-
pearance. In o crowd cansul
observer would not be likely to
pick him ont for one of the str0n.
gcst men that ever lived. His
strength would bo evual, if not
surpass, that of the great Roman
