There appears TO he no doubt about a

that Dutch harbor fuel has been not only
high but scarce. Inability to get coal

the return Of some Of tho vessels. The

HERE AND THERE.

The first cattle were introduced
into this country in 1610-four cows
and a bull.
Sitting hens should have food and
water, with some exercise and a good
busting every day. If they won't get
off the nest, take them off.
We would not advise our readers
to try to help the chick out of the
shell. Those too weak to help them
selves are apt to be too weak to live
after they are out.
Too many are always going to do
better some time in the future. If
good thoughts are made use of other
and better ones will come, while if
they are UNDECIDED they come less and
less frequently and cease entirely.
Insist on yourself; never initiate.
Your own gift you can present every
moment with the cumulative force of
a whole life CIVILIZATIONS; but of the
adopted talent of another you have
only an extemporaneous half-posses-
sion.
The farmers should not get in q
hurry to sell their cotton, from the
fact that the prospect for q good
price was never better. The official
report shows the crop short and a
very small surplus of the old crop on
hand.
There is one advantage in keep
ing guinea fowls with other poultry,
as their loud noise frightens away
hawks and other enemies. Guinea
fowl meat is dark, but has q gamey
flavor liked by those who have a
fancy for game.
Now there il . new use for the
corn plant. The latest discovery il
that an almost perfect substitute for
rubber may be obtained from zeamais.
Indeed it il claimed that this droduct
of the plant is superior for some uses
to the best Para rubber.
An old saying, and true one it
is, il that the corn pays best when
it is driven to Market" and this is
only the profitable course, but is one
that gives an agreeable diversity TO
farm work. and is, besides, the only
one by which the fertility of the farm
can be maintained. .-
