The Ocean Chronicle.
NEWSPAPER PRINTED AT SEA ON BOARD AN
AMERICAN SAILING SHIP.

We have frequently quoted from the little
paper printed by Capt. f. p. Nichols, and have
told how the captain is editor, publisher. press
man, typo and devil. The last Chronicle re-
ceived was published at sea on board ship
Frank Pendleton, and bears date Feb. 26, 1884.
The ship left New York Oct. 9th, 1888, for
Yokohama and the date given was that on
which the captain expected to arrive at Yoko-
hama. He was disappointed, however, as the
following postscript shows:
We arrived off Yokohama Mar. Sd, after
passage of 40 days. and it has been a very dis
agreeable one. not boisterous, but uncomfort-
able. | have had this space waiting to be filled
for more than twenty days and now | gladly
close it up, and give up, beat.
E.. NICHOLS.
The Chronicle is full of entertaining reading.
Here are the editors views on
FARMING.
We are disguised with the sea and have de-
cded TO 60 to farming. Some say that a sailo r
cannot run farm; but we know better, and
will tell you how to do it properly
First. buy farm, and next stock it. For
small farm you will want to get six cows, ten
oXen,-or perhaps it would be better to get
more cows. and less oxen. as more butter can
be made from one COW, than two oXen--four
horses, six pigs. ana if your neighbors have
good pasture-land, one hundred sheep. This is
all the stock you will need to start with, so buy
your farming tools and go to work.
Among your fit-out don't forget to get a bar
rel of tar and barrel of grease.
Do your hou>e-gardening first, and be sure to
