0! course farming and almost everything
connected with it, il at s,andstilI, Moth.
tng like the winter work on a West Viz.
ginia farm can be done. The great object
OF a farmers life, from this on until The
maple sugar time in March, is to lay in a
sufficient supply Of wood 10 last over to
next year. 10 do this il much more Sc.
rious consideration than it once was. All
the hard wood has been cut off as gener-
III thing, within q convenient radius, 80
that it must now be drawn ("hanledh is
here q tabooed word) some distance, The
result is that anthracite coal, coming all
the way from Pennsylvania, is growing
more aud more in popular favor. In place
OF the great forests Of maple, birch and
peach that once covered the bills we have
now second generation OF larcb, spruce
and fir, not at all to be desired, and, with.
out doubt, having it's effect on the fertility
Of the lower lands. .uG-r.
When not engaged with his wood the
farmer delights TO hang round the village
store, where, at almost any hour OF the
day or night, 3 crowd may be found about
the red.hot sheet iron stove, discussing
prices and politics and smoking vile to
bacco. In all such discussions the store
keeper, who frequently combines in him
self as well the functions Of postmaster aud
town liquor agent, is the recognized autho-
rity. Now il be Is the liquor agent this is
q fine piece Of strategy. Under the prohi-
bitory law in force In the State there is but
one licensed liquor dealer in the township,
and he must keep written record Of ali
he sells, the names Of the persons to whom
it WAS sold and the reaaon assigned for
obtaining it. There is probably about as
large proportion Of the inhabitants Of
New England fond Of their morning dram
~ in any other part Of the country; so that
much ingenuity is to be expended IN keep.
ing on the right side Of this important per-
sonage, and, as in love and war, everything
Ia considered fair. The plan seems to WORK
we'll too, if one may judge from the stream
OF placid countenances 10 be seen issuing
forth from such store about six o'clock
every morning. 1t is at least fact that
more liquor was sold in this town last year
than in any year before prohibition went
into effect. -
