For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
WINTER SCENES.

BY AUGUSTUS II. GRAY.
Old winter has made his obeisance:
He has come in his fury and glee:
He has brought down the billiards. upOn us
And his antics are marvels to see.
He has frozen the creeks and the mill pond.
He has piled up the snow in the lane:
But the skaters are out on the river
And the frost is firm on the pane.
The cattle are housed in the stables:
The.hOrses stand meek in the stall;
The pigs are all fattencd for market
And the school boy has laid up his ball,
For he now glides the hillsides on runners,
Whistling in merriest strain,
While the skaters are out on the river
And the frost is firm On the pane.
The old people sit by their firesides:
The grandchildren rOmp on the floor:
The grandmother knlts in the corner.
Rejecting on winters of yOre.
The evenings are cold but delicious
We heed not the wind on the MAN,,
For the skaters are out on the river
And the frost is still firm on the pane.
But all earthly pleasures are transient;
The school boy has brought III MS sled;
The moon has climbed up TO the zenith,
The old folks preparing for bed,
The clock strikes the hour of midnight.
Fair Luna is just on the wane.
The skaters have come from the river,
But the frost remains firm on the pane.
Oh. how dearly we loved those cold winters
When the blood of our youth ran warm I!
We delight in those far-otf mem ries
OF the snow drifts, the ice and the storm,
And the children will hold in remembrance
The stories told over again
O the skating far down on the river
And the frost-garnished leaves on the pane
Catskiil. Y. V. Jan. /. 1883.

A man named Crawford, Of Brook
lvn, n. Y, has patented an invention
and put it into practical operation
which promises to effect a vast change
in the cotton seed oil manufacture.
By the process at present in use In
extracting the oil from the seed 2,ooo
pounds of seed will produce 81 gal
ions of oil at 80 cents $ll,lO; OIL cake
700 pounds at l cent 81, or a total OF
$3.50. By Crawford's machine 1000
rounds of cotton seed will produce
200 pounds of cotton lint at 2 cents,
S4; AS gallons of oil at 80 cents,
$3.50; 400 pounds of oil cake at |
cent Sl4 total $3.50. According
to this showing the new invention
makes a difference of $l3.40 per ton.

The "old reliable" APpgAL stands high
in the estimation OF all the people in this

ment i received here in the way OF sub

This popularity is largely due 10 the eff
forts OF our excellent correspondent here,
Mr.. w. A. Cooper editor OF the Democrat,
and TO ourtw live agents, who both, while
was here, doubled the order for the num-
Der OF copies they receive at their stores.
For the weekly there is especially now an
immense demand, as peope want TO sub
scribe now soon in order TO be entitled TO

1t is becoming quite customary for large
merchants with many and intelligent Gus
toners to subscribe for all up from
twenty-five to 100 weelslies for one year,
send the copies to their customers free,
and in some cases reserve the right to
change in distribution. This is the prin-

thought 10 be a necessity.
A large brick building is to be erected
in the business portion of the town, on
Main street, extending TO the railroad,
200 feet or more. 1t is for wholesale
trade exclusively.
The people of the town are realizing
the advantages of these movements. and
public meetings are held once month

men are kept on the working committees.
Mr. Omohundro, SO badly injured by
the kick of horse last week, has been
