ITWORDTO FARMERS ABOUT SELL INO THEIR PRODUCE. Farmers are often blamed for not selling their produce as soon as it is ready for mar ket And it must be confessed that those who do so, taking one vear with another, do quite as well, all things considered, as those who hold on in hopes of getting higher prices. They obtain their money soon after harvest, and are enabled to use it to advantage. Deal ers is grain can obtain money much more easily than farmers, and can consequently hold the grain longer. While, therefore, we think farmers often do better by selling early, there is still room for the exercise of judgment. One reason why it is usually best to sell early is, that most farmers are disposed to hold on to their grain as long as possible, and when the time comes that they must sell, there are more sellers than buyers, and the price declines. It is a curious fact that people generally are more inclined to sell when prices are low than when they are high. When woo! was SOcts a lb., it was more difficult to induce farmers to sell than when it was 40 cents per lb. I-ast fall, with red wheat at $2,25 in the interior of Michigan, farmers hesitated longer in making up their minds to let their crops go than they did last summer when they were offered $1,25 for the same wheat. It is a good rule to sell when you can get a price that will afford a good living profit. Farmers, at the { resent time, would have been richer by mil lions of dollars than they now are had they adopted this ruie last autumn. We ktiow of a ereat many who sold wheat this summer for one dollar a bosbel less than they refused for it last fall. The whole nation suffered greatly by this indisposition to sell when a good price could be obtained. We might have shipped all our surplus wheat to England at 8 fair price, but by holding on we lost the opponu. nity, and finally sold at a price below the cost of production. We should take the lesson to heart. On the other hand, when prices are low, we should not be in a hurry to sell. Sound wheat is an article that will keep, and it is an article that is always required, and it is ab solutely certain that it cannot long remain at a price much beiow the actual cost of pro duction. We cannot held out hopes to such farmers as grow only ten or twelve bushels of wheat per acre, that they will obtain prices sufficient to compensate them for their labor. The country must be in a very unsatisfactory condition when such is the case ; but we do (irmly believe that there is no reason to doubt a farmer who raises good crops is safe in cal culating that sooner or later he will be able to obtain such a price for his wheat as will en able birn to mate a fair profit. There is one fact in this connection that should not be overlooked. In a cool, wet, late season in Eogland, the wheat crop is al ways below the average. And they have bad such a season the present year. On the oth er hand, it is very doubtful if the wheat crop of the United Slates is as large as was antici pated. We feel tolerably certain, therefore, that before another harvest, wheat will bring a price sufficiently high to afford the wheat grower a good living profit. He should be satisfied with this. He should be in no hurry to take less. The question arises: What price should we obtain for wheat, to afford us a fair profit? At the present price of implements, machines and other necessary articles, not forgetting labor and taxes, we shall not obtain extrava gant profits if we sell good, sound red or am ber winter wheat—say in Michigan—for sl,- 50 per bushel. A farmer who raises any thing less than twenty bushels per acre will not get very rich, even if he obtains, in our present currency, $1,75 for red wheat, and $"2,00 for choice white wheat. When we can get these figures in ordinary seasons, it is not safe to boid on too long: but when, immedi ately after harvest, the price is much below these figures, those who can afford to hold their wheat run very little risk of loss in do ing so. —American Agriculturist. SORRY HE SOLD HIS FARM.— A L). D. says he "never knew a to sell his farm that did not regret it." This is perhaps stating it a little too strong. Hut being one of the oldest pastors in Western New York, he has had good opportunities tor observation. I think men engaged in other pursuits who buy farms, expecting to find nothing but pleasure and profit in agriculture, are generally very glad of ao opportunity to dis pose of them. Such men seldom regret selliug. Bui with a farmer the case is very different. He either sells because he can buy a cheaper or a better farm, or because he is tired of farming, and proposes to live in the city. Iu the latter case he is almost sure to wish himself back again on the farm. I heard of such a case the other day. A fanner was offered last spring what he thought a high price for his farm, and accepted the offer, thinking he could live comfortably in the city on the interest of his money. After trying it six or eight months, he offered the purchaser SI,OOO to let httn have the farm back again, giving him the summer crops and the wheat in the bargain. A farmer who sells expecting to buy another farm finds it not so to suit himself as he expected. If you must sell the better plan is to know where you are going before hand.— American Agriculturist. How TO DIG POST HOLES.—A correspond ent of the lowa Homestead tells "how any man may dig from 140 to 150 post holes in eight hours : ' and this is the process : 'The best tool for this purpose is a spade. The holes should be two and a half feet deep and the square of the spade iu size, and very few need be dug larger. "After removing the soil, strike the spade into, say, the north side of the hole: pull the spade gently northward and upward, without permitting the dirt to touch the south side of the hole; walk around the hole repeating the process on each side. You will find the dirt will adhere to the spade, provided it is not raked off by contact with the opposite side. The left hand need not be used, except to give direction to the blows of the spade. The dirt is easily removed from the spade by 3triking it into the ground. "Don't be discouraged if you do not sue ceed in getting "the hang" of this method the first day. Give it a fair trial, and you will never use any other." ABOIT HOUSES. —From the Rochester Inion we take the following: "Horses as a general thing, get too much licking and too little feed. If a man loses bis hat while driving his horse, be licks the horse to pay for it. II he runs into another wagon through his own carelessness, be licks his borse to make it all right. If his horse slips or tumbles, he gets licked for it—if he doea anything he gets licked for it, and if be don I do anything he gets the same. A great many horses know a sight more than their drivers, and it they could change places with them, society at large would be the gainers, and so woold horses. WHAT AS OLD FARMER ONCE TOLD US.— That the success of farming is in experience. lhat to ask a man's advice is not stooping, but often of much benefit. That to keep a place for everything and everything in its place, saves many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools, and keep them in order. 7'bat kindness to stock, like good shelter, is a saving of fodder.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those wbobave used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does al ways--that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all ages and con. ditions in all climates; containing noither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, uch derangements as arc the first origin of di sase. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure: For Dy*pep*ia or Iniligeetion, lattice* nees, I.'in yuor and Lot* of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms, Ril'.ou* Headache. Sick Headache. Jaundice or Green Sickneee. Rilioue Colic and Itiliou* Eeeer*. they should be judiciously taken for each • asc, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it For Dyeentery or Diarrha, but one mild dose is generally required. For Ilheumatiem. Gout. Gravel. Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side. Rack and Loin*, they should be continuously takeu, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. For Dropey and Drop*ical Steel liny* they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Stippreeeion* a large dose should betaken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exißts. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating efi'ect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.

Its attachments for Hemming, Braiding, Cording, Tncking, Quilting, Felling, Trimming, Binding, etc, are novel and practical, and have been in vented and adjusted especially for this machine. New designs of the unique, useful and popular folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the machines manuracturea by this Company, have been prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
