igriultral Deputy WEONESDA' MORNING Dec. 22, '69, Josh Bilings. TiE HORNET. The Hornet is an it fianamible bug ger., sudden in his impreshuns, and hasty in hi z conclusions, or end. His nat.ral disposition iz a warm cross between red pepper in the pod, and fusil oil, and his moral hiss iz, "get out uv wy way." They have a long black boddy, di vided in the middle by a waist spot, but their pbisikal importance lies at the terminus of their t:obburb, in the shape of a javlein. This javlein is alwuz loaded, and stands reddy to unload at a minnut's, warning, and enter a man az still az theught,as spry as litenio, and as full of melancholy as the toothake. Horn ets never argy a kase ; they settle awl ov their differences of ()pippin by let tin their javelein fly, and are as sur tain to hit az a mule iz. This testy critter lives in congrega tions numbering about one hundred soles, but whether they are mail or fearnalo, or conservative, or matched in bonds of wedlock, or whether they are Mormuns, and a good many of them klieg together and kepe one husband to save expence, I dont know or dent hare. I never have examined their habits much, I never konsidered it healthy. Hornets laid their nests whenever they tare a noshun tu,and seldom are disturbed, for what would it profit a man to kill 99 hornets and hay the one hundredth one hit him with his jape lin They bild their nests of paperovith out any back doors to them or win dows. They have but one place of ad mission,andthe_riGst iz the same shape of an overgrown pineapple, and is cut up into jist as many bed rooms as there iz hornets. It iz very simple to make a hornets' nest if you kan. but i will wajer enny man 300 dollars that he kant bild one that he could sell to a hornet for half price. Hornets are as bizzy az their second couzins, the bee, but whatever they are about the Lord only knows; they don't lay up any honey or enny mon, ey ; they seem to be busy just for the purpose ov working all the time; they are alwuz in az much of a hurry az if they was goin for a docter ; I spose this uneasy world would grind around on its axle-tree onct in 24 hours if there want enny hornets, but hornets must be good for some— tlinz., but I cant think now what it There liairit been abug made yet in vain, nor one that want a good job. Thare is ever lots ov human .men loaf ing around blacksmith shops, and cider mills, all over the country, that don't seem to be neccsary for anythinz but to beg plug tobacco, and swear, and to steal water-melons, but you let the cholera break out once, and then yu will see the wisdom of having jist sich men laying around ; they help to fill cut. Next tew the cock - roach,who stands tew the head, the hornet haz got the Most waste stummuk,in reference tow the rest of his body than enny ov the insek population, and heie is another mystery; wat on arth duz a hornet want s^ mutch reserved corps for ? I have jist thought—tow carry his javelin in ; this ye see, the more we disk - over the more we are apt to know. It is always a good purchase tew pay out yer last surviving dollar for wisdutn ; and wisdom is like the mys tenons lien's egg, it ain't laid in pure hand,but is laid away under the barn, and yu have gat to carob for it. The hornet is an unusual kuss,he iz more haughty than he is proud, he iz a thoroughbred bug, but his breeding and refinement haz made hint like sum other folk I kno ov, dissatisfied with himself and evrn}, , loody else ; tou much good greeding ackts in this way sometimes. Hornets are long-lived—l kant state jist how long their lives are, but I know from instinkt and observashun that enny kriter, be be bug or be he devil. who is mad all the time and stings every good chance he can git, generally outlives all his nabers. The only good way to get at the ex act fiteing weight of the hornet is tew touch him, let him hit you once with his javelin, and yon will be willing to testify in court that some one run a one-tined pitchfork into yer ; and az for grit, i will state for the inlorma— shun ov thoze who hav'nt had a chan ce tew lay in their vermin wisdom az i hay, that one single hornet, who feels well, will brake up a large camp meeting. What the hornets do for amusement is another question leant answer, but some ov the best read, and heaviest thinkers amung the naturalists say they have target excursions,and heave their javelins at a mark, but i don't imbibe this assershon raw, for i never knu any body so bitter at heart az the hornets are, to waste a blow. Tharp is one thing that a hornet duz that i will give him credit for on my books, he alwuz attends tew his own bizziness, and won't allow enny boddy else tew attend tew it, and what he duz is always a good job,you never see them altering anything, if they make enny mistakes it iz after dark, and ain't seen, If the hornets made hall as many blunders as the men do, even with their javelins, every boddy would laugh at them. klurn _ts are clear in anocher way, they leave found out, bytrieing, thug; awl they ledn git in this world, and brag on, iz their vittles, and clothes, and you never see one standin at the corner ov a street, with a twenty—six inch face on. because sum banker had run oph, and took their money with him. In ending oph this essa, I will cum to a stop by concluding that if the hornet was a little mcie pensive, and not so darned peremptory with their javelins, they might be guilty of less wisdum, but more charity. :But you k-arit alter bug natur, with •ont spiking it for anything else, enny more than you kan an elephant's egg. Keeping a Farm Journal. No doubt there are farmers who commence business with a determin ation to keep a daily record of their operations on the farm,and the results of them. This resolve is carried into execution for a time, but after a While intermissions in these jottings occur, and finally cease altogether. This delinquency does not prove that the practice is not a good one, and as an incentive to perseverence, we would cite a case of a man who commenced farm life bareheaded, but eventually attained great wealth—a result he at. tributed in a great measure to a daily journalizing of his farm operations a practice kept up for forty-five years, and not then discontinued. These daily memoranda were made in books of convenient size, each con taining the records of a single year, and when full properly labelled and and filed away for future reference when desirable. They contained the number of fields farmed each year, the amount of labor bestowed, the actual yield, the names of the parties employed each day, the daily receipts for stock and farm products sold, money paid out, and for what purpose. the character of the weather, together with such reflections as the current news of the day supplied. This jour nal was uniformly written on each night just before retiring to rest, but when the party was absent, as was occasionally the case, it was the duty of the person in charge to make the necessary memoranda each evening. These records were often appealed to, to decide disputed points in regard ' to the weather and crops of particular seasons, and not unfreguently taken before the courts for the purpose of determining the date of particular transactions. At first these nightly records may prove rather irksome, but if the practice is kept up persever ingly for two or three years it becomes a habit pleasureable rather than other wise, and profitable to the parties who steadily pursue it. —l7nerican Fanner. Keeping Winter Pears. No fruit is worse treated than the late autumn and winter pears. They are generally gathered before their time,and then kept in dry atmosphere. What wonder is it that fruit which should be melting and delicious, turns out to be a shriveled, tough and taste less thing? Most late varieties hang on well, and should be allowed to re main until there is danger of hard frosts; they are to be carefully picked when dry, placed in boxes or barrels, and kept as cool as possible. It is not a good plan to take them to the cellar until the weather becomes so cold as to endanger their freezing.— When in the teller, the temperature must be kept as low as possible with out danger of frost. Do not mix varieties in the same package. The different sorts have each their own time for maturing. A frequent ex amination will show how the process of ripening is going on, and the slow ' er this progresses the finer the fruit is likely to be. When the proper changes have taken place within the fruit, it is indicated by a change in the color of the skin. When this commences the fruit may be taken in small quantities at a time to a warm room, to "finish off." We have seen even the despised and much abused Vicar of Winkfield, when treated in this manner, prove itself a most ac cepteble pear. —Exchange. FARMING. —lt is with farming as it is with every other business ; it must be attended to or it will not pay. This is more so now than fomerly, For vow machinery does the work of hand labor s and Fcience is adding suc cess which the common farmer can not reach, hence he is found in the rear of profit and general success. There must be intelligence. The ad— vancement of farming has made this so. "Skinning" land must he among the thins that were. This, however, is less the case on the prairies than in the East. An old fashioned farmer stands but a poor chance there. He is constantly selling out to "better his condition," which isnot done by buy ing another farm. He is generally glad to get rid of his land. We must, then, as the country improves, improve with it, and that by informing our selves, both by reading and conver— sation with those who know. A Philadelphia paper says that an eminent surgeon of that city had his horses washed in the morning with water inwhich one or two sliced onions had been steeped. He found that the flies kept at a respectable distance, while no harm was done to the ani mals. A separate bucket or vessel other than that used to water the horses, would be necessary, and great relief would be obtained at a small cost.
