Mr.. EDIToR.-It has been some time
since our last to you. and among other
things our thoughts to-day are on our well
come weekly visitor, the TINES.
We arc having fine weather for fodder
pulling. and farmers generally are making
good use of it, Corn is not as good as
was thought it would be, on account of the
heavy rains. Cotton, If favored with good
seasons, will make in some instances, a
good crop, bnt in some places only half a
crop. IL no further disasters befall us we
think there is very good prospect for o
support.
We hear farmers talking of sowing more
grain. This is grand move toward indie
Hog sud homiDy'' i. what !. necessary.

MT. Editor, we are expecting something
new in these diggings soon. Buggies re-
painted, old ones swapped for new ones.
Travelling at night is nothing new, but dan
gerous to eyes blinded by cupids arrows,
and falling into guliies is not uncommon.
So, II girls do return home with "whole (?)
heart we shall not be surprised if they be-
come heads of interesting families and be-
come cash subscribe rs to the TINES, for we
think il is the duty Of every person to
pstronize home industry. r

That is right, my young friend. Make

beneficial.

few days. Pour this off and fill
water slightly salted.
BY pouring off the water from the kraut
it will lose that strong taste and will be
much nicer. 1t is worse than useless to salt
the kraut like most persons do, requiring so
much soaking Mine needs to be rinsed
through only one water, when it is ready
for cooking
If your milk is hard to churn, put
small piece of butter into the milk, churn
steadily, and it will collect the butter in
few minutes. Respectfully,
