July io.-The fine rather of the last
few days has been greatly appreciated by
ourfarmers, and they hare certainly put
in good time ii their corn, oats. hay, etc.
In fact they have beea so busy they
would scarcely take lime to talk with
the many candidates that have been
circulating among us uic past week. I
will just say totthose worthy gentlemen
when they call on q farmer if they win
just pull off their cat. roll up their
sleeves ard assist them few moments
with a hoe. rake, scyche or cradle they
will make themselves more solid with
them than all the blarhcy and soft talk
and good advice they can give in a week
Just try it once, boys and see what q
change will come over the couuicnance
of the honest tiller Of the soil. And
furthermore il will giyegou good exercise
and cause you to sleep sounder at night
as you will be conscious of the fact that
you have helped toJighten the burdens
OF the over worked farmer.
