FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
GLEAhIkGS.

The Americm AgricuItWiSt rec
ommends to its readers the keep
ing a slate memorandum. BY
forgetting to make repairs in sea-
son, it says, or doing odd jobs
when there is time, much is lost
every year. A good plan is to
hang up a slate in a convenient
place in the kitchen, with "a pencil
attached so as to be always ready
for use. Examine the tools and
machines, and write on the slate
what should be repaired, and what
must be procured to repair them.
Also make a memorandum of re-
pairs necessary about the fences
and buildings. As fast as these
are done, erase the memorandum,
adding from time TO time others
that may he needed. On the re-
verse side of the slate, plan ont
what chores and regular labor
should be done, stating who is to
do it. Have the boys, hired men
and housewife, learn to consult
the memorandum, so that each is
informed about the labors of the
others, and can mutually assist
whenever required.
The farmer who is short of bed
ing material will improve bis time
this month in gathering leaves as
they fall from the trees that stand
on the borders or in the centre OF
moving fields; leaves that fall in
such places should be gathered mp,
even if not wanted for bedding
they should be compOsted with
barn manure mixing with it a
little dry muck to prevent it from
heating, and also 10 hold the
ammonia. Leaves are rich in pot
ash, and make an excellent tertil-
izer when well cOmpOsted, but
spread on the land before decom-
posed they are cold and sour, and
lay so compact that the air does
not readily penetrate them to
change them to plant food.
The Empire state .Agricultm'st
says: "There is many saving on
the farm that is not economy. We
we're reminded of this fact the
other day by seeing man on his
knees drawing water from a well
with a pole and bucket, with a pair
of horses hung over him waiting
impatiently tor the refreshing
/
draught. The man has drawn
water thus for years, apd has saved
in this way some dollars in pumps.
But how much time has he spent
which could have been better en-
ployed; how often have his cattle
and horses gone unwatered, or
with a scant supply for want of a
time and labor saving pump
The Maine Fdmcr advocates the
best of stock for common farmers,
who has to see that his income is
fully up to expenditures. This is
wrong. Improved stock is better
than inferior stock, because it Will
thrive better, produce more, and
when grown be worth more money.
This is the reason why it should be
the common farmer stock, and why
they should see to it that they
keep no other"
If you would like a barrel or two
of apples to eat with strawberries
next June, select perfect samples
of some of the good keepers, wrap
each specimen in tissue paper and
pack them IN dry sand. Use plen-
ty of sand so the apples do not
touch each other, and store in the
coolest corner of the cellar. Or, If
the barrel be stored in the wagon
house loft, and covered up a foot
deep with chaf, or cut straw, or
corn fodder, that will DO as we'll.

WHY NOT. INDEED.

Why do not mothers teach their

floor as he stepped out OF it, or
hang up his cap, or pat up his
books or skates you are lucky.
Why should not a boy help his
motheri Why should tears of rage
and shame roll down his cheeks
when an apron is tied around his
neck and he is obliged to wash
dishes 2 Girls are told from their
babyhood to "learn TO be good
wives" Boys should have it con
stantly dinned into their ears to

a man on a cattle ranch, living
by himself in a dugout, said he

to cook when he was a boy, and to

use when there were no women

was sick, took the whole care OF

of the physician, caring for wife
as she went almost to the gates of
death, until at last a good nurse
was obtained and the tired hus'
band was permitted to take rest.
And that man was not a "Miss

Harper's Young People
AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The position Of Harper's Young People
as the leading weekly periodical for yonng
readers is well established. The publish
ers spare no pains to provide the best and
most attractive reading and illustrations.
The serial and short stories have strong
dramatic interest, while they are wholly
free from whatever is pernicious or Wi
carly sensational ; the papers on natural
history and science, travel, and the facts
of life, are by writer's whose names give
the facts OF life, are by writer's whose
names give the best assurance of accu-
racy and value. Illustrated papers on
athletic sports, games, and pastimes give
full information on these subjects. There
is nothing cheap about it but its price.

Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1886-10-22

There are great many things in this world
of which the V1NDIoAToR has not heard, and a
good deal that it has to learn. Probably it
will be wiser and better informed after the
November election. Valley Vtrginiam.
But there is one thing of which the
INDICATOR has just heard. 1t IS that
Mr.. Blalne-the Virginsan's favorite in
'S4 and we presume in 's8-the represent
tative of the "National" Republican par
ty, party that is represented by our
contemporary as anxious to preserve frater-
nal feeling IN the Nation-used this Ian
guage in his speech at Philadelphia, Sat-
urday night:
Nov these rebels, their hands still
dripping in the blood of Union men, said
we're not satisfied with the threeiifths
representation we had before, but we want
the whole five -ffths. The question was
whether the unreconstructed rebels Of the
South were stronger than Congress, and
Congress concluded that they WEREN'T
AS soon as the rebels got possession they
trampled on everything they had agreed
to, and since they have had control OF
Congress they have put in thirty-ive
fraudulent members"
We can't tell how this sort OF talk is
operating at the North, but we know that
Mr.. Blaine is killing the chances of Mr..
Yost and all the other Republican candi-
dates at the South, as dead as Hector.
No candidate can get any Democratic
vote in the 10th district who follows and
advocates James G.. Blaine.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1886-10-22
A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE.

The great success of the first fair held
at Staunton by the District Association,
and the large number of counties which
took an active interest in it, may be said
to settle the fact of it's permanency, and
of its borders being enlarged to untold
usefulness hereafter. In this light we
deem it all the more important that it
should be an agency for the highest
usefulness, and for innocent pleasure I'M
mixed with any evil. The Directory is
composed of gentlemen of high standing,
and of clear and reasonable views of
right, and its President and Secretary,
the two executive officers who can most
influence the character of the arrange
ments for the annual exhibitions, are
gentlemen of the same Sort. Therefore
the public will not unreasonably nor
hopelessly look to such body for some
ms .aed reforms. After a long debate,
til intoxicating liquors was very
pro cluded from the ground. but
there an left behind the games
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1886-10-22

But since the VIND1oAToR has been selected
as the spokesman for, and campaign organ of,
Capt. Bumgardner, and is being circulated in
this county as such free. we wish to warn our
readers against being unduly influenced by
these sectional appeals, to the neglect of the
more essential, weightier and more practical
issues in this canvass Highland Recorder.
A good many patriotic Democrats have
bought large numbers of the VINDICAToR
TO be distributed in various counties free.
If Capt. Bumgardner's name is among
them it only further convinces US of his
fitness for representative, one of the best
qualifications of pubic man being the
ability to know good thing when he sees
it. But the VINDICAToR itself doesn t
send paper free Except its exchanges. of
which the Recorder is one of the most
valued) to anybody, and never did. Nor
has it been selected as ''spokes man and
campaign organ of Capt. Bumgardner, !"
The better and more exact way to put it
would be that the VINDICAToR has Sc
lected Capt. Bumgardner to be it's con-
gresham, and it is quite tribute to its
good Judgment that the selection has been
an good. If he doesn't make one of the best
representatives in congress that Highland
or any other county bas had, then we shall
find ourselves much mistaken.
