FOUND OLD LETTER

While Albert Wells was making some
alterations to the home of Edward Hart,
in Townsend, On Saturday last, lie made
an interesting discovery. 1t was letter
written in 1861, and fastened back of a
mantle when the house was built.
The letter was written on May 11th,
1861, by David and Jacob Wells, con-
tractors, who built the house for Joseph
7. Hill at that time. 1t was nailed to
the timbers behind a mantel and has
remained there intact until discovered
on Saturday by son of one of the men
who wrote it.
The letter contains record of the Sc
cession of several states, OF Lincoln's call
for volunteers, and other interesting
data of the early war times. 1t adds that
more volunteers will be necessary, and
concludes as follows: "The Union must
and shall be preserved"
The letter has been viewed with inter-
est by residents of Townsend, and it is
singular that it should have been found
by Albert Wells when it was written by
his father, long since deceased.

THE FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY

There is growing demand for mules.
a car load OF wool sells for about 81 900.
A few leaves in the hat may prevent
sunstroke.
A splendid team: Young Courage and
Old Caution.
Caloused hands are much to be pre-
ferred to calloused hearts.
To make $40 clear from COW, you
must get at least $45 out of her every
year.
The farmer who will not look after his
own farm, will not long have any to look
after.
Percheron mares raise the finest mules.
A dash of thoroughbred makes snappy,
| fleet mule.
If well fed and cared for Pekin duck
will nearly reach its matured weigh at
ten weeks of age.
The sleeps meridian of life is six years.
After that the downhill side comes at
pretty good jog. 1t pays to remember
this.
Any old, crooked, blemished mare will
not do to raise mules, unless you want to
breed disappointment and waste your
time and money.
Spray, farmers, spray with care,
Spray the apple, peach and pear;
Spray for scab, and spray for blight,
Spray, oh spray, and do it right.
What is the use of weighing the milk
OF each COW? Simply to find out which
COW is the thief, carrying the bag, with
nothing in it-for you.
The hired man question is becoming
more of problem each year, and the
tendency of the times is toward smaller
farms and more machinery.
The south is trying melons, peaches,
Bermuda onions and several other crops
in place of cotton to the benefit of the
soil and the growers as well.
Always think we'll of the old farm and
never speak ill of it. That means that
you must have farm worth thinking
and speaking the very best things about.
1t is said that the truck and fruit crops
in the United States are injured by insects
to the extent of $SO,OOO,OOO. Judicious
spraying is one way to reduce this great
loss.
When fourteen ears of corn will plant
one acre of ground it seems foolish not
to absolutely know that each ear of that
corn is sound and reliable and of high
terminating power.
Try the application OF thick cement,
made by mixing fine, clean sand with
white lead paint, to stop the unsightly
cracks that often come around chimneys,
and are not large enough to mend with
tin or shingles.
