The Huntingdon Joufnal tram ma tlllovlutet. The Hand that Holds the Plow, DEDICATED TO TILE FARMERS OF AMERICA. [The following song is timely and to the point, and will awken enthusiasm wherever it is sung :) Brothers of the pl,w, The power is with you; The world in expectation waits For action prompt and true; Oppression stalks abroad, AL : mop dies abound, Their giant hands already clutch The tillers of the ground. Chorus—Awake! then awake ! The great world must be fed, And Heaven gives the power To the hand that holds the bread. Yes, Brothers of the plow ! The people 'lnust" be fed, And Heaven gives the power To the hand that holds the bread, Brothers of the plow! In calm and quiet might You've waited long and patiently For what was yours by right— A fair reward for toil, A free and open field, An honest share for wife and home Of what your harvests yield. Chorus—Awake! then awake ! &c. Brothers of the plow ! Come, rally once again : Come gather from the prairies wide. The hillside and the plain ; Not, as in days of yore, With trump of battle's sound— But come and make the world respect The tillers of the ground. Chorus—Awake ! then awake! &c. The Value of the Roller, The Commissioner of Agriculture, in an article on agricultural machinery, makes the following jnst remarks on the use of the roller. He says : "Of all the imple ments for use upon the farm there is no one which tells of greater benefits than the roller. It pulverizes the clods, smooths the surface for the scythe or the reaper, and compacts the earth about the seed and roots of plants ; but above all, and of more importance than all, it destroys vermin. That the earth should be made fine is the object of plowing and harrowing. A roller greatly conduces to this. That small stones and rough places should be driven out of the way of the scythe or mower, is a desideratum which every farmer will ap preciate, and when the seed is first sown, and when the frosty winter or thawing of the spring have loosened its growth upon the surface it may be imagined how it would be benefitted by giving it a bed in the earth again. But its most useful pur pose is le-s satisfactorily expl+ined, for ith only proof is only found in the experience of its use. All know that most of the vermin which afflicts the farmers' crop has its resting and often its breeding place in the earth ; there, and upon the young and tender plant, where it deposits its eggs. The cut warm destroys corn at the sur face ; the Hessian fly deposits eggs upon the wheat blade, which often falls to the ground. The earth, in fine, is fully charged with the eggs and the embryo of vermin of all sorts, in all stages, and it may readily be imagined what an amount of destruction would follow the passage of a heavy roller over the surface. Hiring Farm Men That farmer is fortunate who has two or three active and intelligent sons able and willing to take held of farm work, Make much of them. Those who hove to hire should he willing to pay good wages for good men. We do not suffi ciently discriminate. Wages are high ; but good men are not likely to take much less than they got last year. Farmers are very remiss in one thing; they do not in sist on having "a, character" from the last employer. It should be a hard matter for a had man, or one who left his employer during the busy season, to get another place. Farmers should combine to drive an un faithful servant from the neighborhood. Pay good wages, and treat them with kindly consideration, but insist on having respectful behavior, and good work. Know what a good day's work is, and get it; but do not ask for more. An unreasonable employer makes discontented servants. If they do well, tell them so ; if not, reprove anildly_but firmly. Transplanting Evergreens. The best season for transplanting is June or July. The Hon. Samuel Walker, once President of the Massachusetts Hor ticultural Society, who *woad then exten sive nurseries in Roxbury, transplanted 100 arbor vitae trees for the writer on the Ist day of August, warranting every one to live, and only one or two died. They should be watered at the time and mulched, bat not watered again unless very dry weather and then not oftener than once a week, as they do-not require as much wa• ter as deciduous trees, and may be killed by too much. The late N. P. Willis thanked the writer for the above informa tion, and said he bad tried the experiment at Idlewild on the Hudson, with perfect success, many years ago. Com. ASHES are only beneficial to trees when applied as a mulch where the trees stand in grass. At least we have never found them useful in any other way, when applied alone. They keep the grass down, if applied in sufficient quantity, and the soil loose. But they are excellent to mix with any kind of fermenting manure. They are very good deodisers or absor bents, and can be used with the most profit in this manner.—Rural New York er.

Invalids, try-them, and be convinced of the truth of what we assert. It is but ten months sines they were first offered to the public, and to-day they are cold by first-class Druggists and Merchants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York. the Virginias, Ohio, Indiana, and the District of Columbia. Surely they are not humbugs or they would'nt be so highly commended by the intelli gence of the most powerful states in all this fair land. They arc classified so as to meet the most difficult diseases for which they are offered ; not one medicine for all the diseases humanity is heir to. The Magic Balm cannot fail to cure C.ughs and Colds if used cc. cording to directions. For all diseases ariBinA from impurities in the blood use the THE INDIAN VEGETABLE Restorative and Blood Purifier, THE SAMSON OIL need only ba trieti to convince any one that, it will cure Cramp Colic, Bunions, etc. The Hepatica Pills are an Alternative Cathartic, and should be used in every family. They should be need in eonnee tion with the Mountain Herb Bitters for Fever and Ague. FOUSE BROS., CRUM & CO., Sole Proprietors of Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines -AND Fouse's I. X. L.
