Farmers

in attending church.
Most of our thrifty farmers haV
long ago had their wood sawed fo
this year. So they will not be both
cred when the crop time arrives
Other have spread their manure Sc
as to save time when the season fol
plOwing is here.
Farmers who love the business
will see that the buildings on the
farm when out of repair are put in
proper condition before the plant
ing season is on hand.
The fields composing the farm
should be gone over and those
which are to be planted, should be
cleared of bushes and other rubbish
which cannot be turned under. The
piece of land to be set in straw
berries should be put in perfect
condition before it is needed and the
plants should be set tf possible) in
March as they will live better. If
there are fences on the farm they
should be looked after and when the
stock is ready in the spring to turn
out to pasture, the fences will be
ready to turn your stock from pill
lagihg your other fields and some
times doing damage beyond repair.
The harness should be carefully
oiled, the wagons should be thor
Oughly creased at all times, this
can be accomplished during rainy
days, and you can also add cleaning
out the stables and shelling corn for
the chickens.
The condition of the horses and |
mules which you expect to do the |
spring work, must be kept in prime !
condition at all times.
There are a hundred and one |
other things which a thrifty tiller of
the soil will find to do, which we
have. not space to enumerate here
and which those who only pretend
to cultivate the soil in a half
hearted way, never think it neces-
sary to do, and thereby are never
successful.
The farmer Ca real One) should
keep posted on the news of the day
and should have at his command
the best agriculture paper printed,
and from both CLEAN those truths
which it will be well to learn to en-
able him to conduct his business
st. Valentines Day
February IA is St. Valentines
Day. 1t is said on this date birds
begin to mate and hence the custom
of sending love notes and Valen-
tines. II for any reason there
should be enmity existing between :
a maiden and youth then the maiden =.
will select the most comical Valen-
tine it is possible to get and send !
to her enemy, and sometimes the
young man will do likewise, and }
send the maiden one that is of equal
sluring nature.
This use to be considered great 9
sport in the times long ago, but !
while a few adhere to the practice
lf sending Valentines, many have
,ut them out, and refuse to engage
n the practice any more. ?
1t usedeto be- the' custom of schoI-. !
lrs how did not like their instruc-
or to get all the Valentines of a =
,omic nature and mail to the teach !
sr and sometimes the larger boys ).
would throw the teacher from the !.
louse out into the open.
Perhaps some of the old-timers .
will remember when they had a :,
land in the above sport. =
oysters Z
Our market has been plentifully ;,
upplied with oysters which are u
cry cheap, especially those in the .
hell. Many hucksters call them bay =
ysters as oysters from several '.
eVeral creeks are prohibited of lt
eing caught. Some of our mer- ~
hants get the shucked oysters from u
in air-tight packages and q
ell the mat reasonable figures ~
5hich makes it very nive for those y
Tho dread opening oysters from the d,
hell. p
'alse Fire Alarm ~
Some miscreant turned on the sir M
n at the fire house on Sunday night f.
bout ten o'clock and then ran away ht
nd left it blowing. N
People rushed from their homes, r.
1me only half clothed to find on DR.
leir arrival at the fire house that
lie alarm was false. sa
The whieping post would suit or
lch people who engage in such ne ei
rious business. Let the firemen m
rret out and punish the one guilty or
such work.
