Adjacent to Town Conveniences.
DOR cash, or upon satisfactory terms to
IL the right party, offer at private sale
that tract of land on the southwestern
outskirts of Yorkville, known as the Dr..
J. F. LINDSAY PLANTATION.
This plantation includes 32l. ACRES,
lying on both sides of the Pinckney road,
which runs nearly through the centre.
The s. c. & G: Extension railroad passes
through one corner, and the G. & NV.
R. r. runs within about 200 yards of the
eastern b0undry. The northeastern line
is within II miles of the courthouse, and
the town is accessible over either the
Chester or Pickney roads.
There are under cultivation and in
pasture about 200 acres, and the balance is
in woodland, most of which is original
forest, including many THOUSAND
CORDS OF FIREWOOD, and more or
less valuable timber. That portion OF
land which is under cultivation is highly
improved, including thorough system
of terraces cast along scientific lines and
of from seven to ten years standing. All
the land lies we'll.
The buildings include ONE STORY
FRAME BUILDING, rooms, in fair re-
pair, suitable for overseer, on the Pinck-

house, a good barn and four outbuildings,
with a well of good water. There are on
the place FOUR TENEMENT HOUSES,
each near spring, and on the place
six springs, all of which are convenient

during the last ten years OF his life, he
made on it heavier crops at less expense
than were made by any other farmer on
any other plantation in this section Of the
county. All of the land is as good or
better now than it has ever been.

chaser would be at liberty to build, cut
timber or do anything else that would
not interfere with the cultivation or gath

valuable as a place to run PUBLIC

Winter Work on the Farm.

These farmers are fortunate to have
a supply of timber of different kinds
growing and ready for Use as wanted.
Such resources should he husbanded
and made the most of as this will save
considerable outlay in building and re-
pairing, from what it would be II IL
were necessary to purchase.
Not only should the farmer have a
supply of hemlock boards and planks
on hand, but if he has pine, Eastwood
or spruce, there should be a small
quantity at least of these kinds OF
lumber on hand to be used as may be
wanted. And of the hard woods,
white ash, or oak where it grows, will
often come handy in many ways ana
should be in supply.
On stony farms stoneboat planks are
wanted about every year, and where a
horse power is in use it will sometimes
need new tagging, and If there has
been a quantity of maple phnks pre-
pared for the purpose, it will save pur-
chasing, and that is an item worth
considering.
There are many such ways in which
farmer can save outlay, besides hav-
ing material on hand for use. The
winter is the time to attend to these
things and good sleighing is great
help in this matter. On ponds ana
reservoirs the ice must be of sufficient
thickness for housing and here is an
other item of winter work. 1t is a
hard and disagreeable JOB, but 1T is
something that is very much needed
on the farm and in many other ways
and the necessary supply should be
secured when in the best condition
if possible. So it will be seen there is
something to be done on the farm be-
sides caring for the stock and keeping
up the fires in the winter.

The Wrong BIRD.

A certain conjurer once had an expe.
rience which was highly comical,
though quite disastrous from a profess
sional point of view.
Having produced an egg from a pre-
viously empty bag, he announced that
he would follow up this trick by bring
ing from the bag the hen by which the
egg had been laid. This little arrange
ment he had left to his confederate 10
carry out.
He proceeded to draw the bird from
the bag in which it had previously been
placed, but what was his CONSERVATION
on finding that the alleged hen was an
old rooster, which strutted about the
stage with ruffled feathers and Offend
ed dignity and set up as vigorous a
growing as If he had just awakened
from his nocturnal slumbers.
The whole audience shrieked with
laughter. and the unfortunate conjurer
made "bolt' for his dressing room.
