TALES AND SKETCHES.
From the Baltimore Sun
Sill. JOIwAM LIVELY.
Hon nil Old Iluclselor doe) to lied.
vr AE80PU9 nooD.
Mr. Jonas Lively lives away out West : bo
fur that a little moro ami he would be clean
nut of town. 1 suy lire, and I adhere tu
the term, provided it be considered not in
applicable to n in un who boards instead of
kt euilitl Ins ow n house. If or Mr. Lively
doesn't own the house, but boards with Mrs.
Hodge, a widow lady, who does own it.
Tliis house lias a little storeroom in Iront,
two little rooms iu the rear, enrh half the
fcizo of the first, one being Mrs. Hodge's ow n
chamber, unci the other serving the purposes
of tlininK-room and sitting room. Mrs.
Hodge has no pal lor, and site says tnat as
for heriefeie has no use for one. A flight
of narrow spirul slairs ascend from the din
ing room to the second nntl oruy omer iioor,
mi which, with a narrow passage between
them, are two chambers, in one ol which
Mr. Jonas Lively has slept for the lust ten
years of his life.
Jlr. Lively is interested in a smnu, inno
cent business not far Irom one ol tne
wliurvt'.a. The consequence is that he has
to ride to and from his boarding anil busi
ness houses. It is inconvenient and expen
sive, and Mr. Lively feels it; but a boarding
house is not uhuiysto be had just where
you want it. So. Mr. Lively keeps lo Mrs.
"llodgc. He knows her, and she knows him.
I have frequently had occasion to remark
that burhelors generally tiud board with
widows).
Every morning, after an early breakfast,
Mr. Lively may be seen at one particular
spot taking the Baltimore; street cur. .Not
only the conductor, but the very horses,
know exactly where to stop for him. A
sma:-t walk brings him there every morning
at the same minute. He is so punctual to
the place and the time thut the conduc
tor (Im't toulilu t ring his bull.
Whether he or the horses utc watching for
hiiu or not, they always know he is there.
I should say that Mr. Jonas Lively was
about fifty-one. He might possibly be fifty
three. I have no idea that lie can be over
lifty-five. lie is about five feet four, of led
complexion, uuburu hair, and black eye
brows. He has no beard, at hast none that
is ever visible. His eyes ure a mild green,
w ith some tinge of red in the whites. His
nose is Human or would be if it were a
little longer; but just as it begins to hook
and to be Uoman, it stops suddenly, as if,
for itself, it did not intend to ape foreign
manners. He has a wide chiti uud a re
murkuble round stomach. He weave an un
commonly thick stout felt hat. long frock
coat, aud either urav or black pauts. He
always carries a hickory wulkinu' cane w ith
a crooked handle. An urtitt might s.iy that
there wus Borne disproportion bctweeii his
body and his legs, in the too great prepon
dTence of the former, both iu size .mil. in
length; but being no urlist, I titcliuo to
criticize.
When Mr. Lively makes his appearance
at the Baltimore street car early ot u morn
ing, on his way to business, he has the ap
pearance of a man who, whatever his break
fast may have been, has enjoyed a good
night of rest. Three dollars a week lor board
and lodging wouldn't warrant a very ex
pensive table. Bui then he only breakfasts
with Mrs. Hodge. He never dines, utid ex
cept upon Sunday evening, never sups
there. And as for tho chamber expenses,
they nre not worth mentioning, either on
account of Mrs. Hodge or Mr. Lively.
I repeat that Mr. Lively always looks in
the morning as if he had a good night's
. '. . W-.ll 1 I...
i rest. It so Happens mat 1 can ten now uc
I goes about taking it. My friend Mack .
of the city police, sometimes entertains me
wiih what he has seen in his official life. He
was for some time on duty on that beat
which Mrs. Hodge's residence is included.
It come in the way of his duties lust spring
to keeo his eve on Mr. Lively for a day or
two, aud even for a night or two, w ithout
being observed by that gentleman, un one
moiuinu not lomr since I happened to be i
standing in company with Mack when Mr.
Lively took the car. ' He locked so fresh,
and rosy, und tested, that I usked Mack if
he knew who he was.
"Oh, yes," answered Mack. "That's Mr.
Jonas Lively, the bachelor, lie air always
fresh 1 a morning, sir, jict as you see him.
I shouldn't think he would I.e. but he nir."
After iriviiv' ine an account of some of !
Mr. Lively's antecedents, he proceeded to
narrate how, in pursuance of his orders to
observe him closely, he had occasion to uo
tice the manner ill w hich, w hen the day's
work was done, he weul about tuking his
rest.
"You see, sir, I see him from the minute
be come in till the candle went out. I was
ordered to watch him, ami I watched him.
He don't know yet that I done it, and I
can't tell you how I done it ; but I done it.
I told the sargent that it was trouble for
nnthin, and that there wasn't no harm in
him. Still, I had him to watch, and I done
it for two blessed nights. JJolh them nights
was exactly the same, which make me know
that he always docs exactly the same things
least ways, in cool weather. And theu,
you know, a old bachelor, old like him,
don't chance uothin. lie cun't change no-
thin, except to grow worse und uiore sot in
his ways.
"Well, sir, he come in about eight o clock,
both nights. Miss Hodge, she have a maid
of the name of Susan. Susan ure a very
poor relation of her husband, and conse
quently she have all sorts of work to do,
and aie always punctual. It air her duty,
soon as Mr. Lively comes in o' nights, when
nights is cool, to mate tue smallest aiua oi
a little lire in the smallest kind of a little
stove in Mr. Lively's room. Till that gits a
going he sets Willi Altss uotige uy nerewne
and chats about business, and news, and one
tbiug aud another. He uir quitn polite to
Miss Hodge, only be do not pull ot) bis bat.
That's what be do not even at the table.
It's mt opinion that no man, nor no woman,
nor no otuer muiwiuuni i any m mn
town have saw that bat off in many a year,
exceptin myself. .
Here lilacK iookco, as ii no unu skiuou
tally come into possession of a most curious
anil interesting item oi luiormumm.
Well. sir. exactly when the clock strike
nine, Mr. Lively rise, bid Mist Hodge good-
niuht. take his uiece o' candle aooui uan a
inch long, and up he go to bis room. As
soon as be air in, be immegately lock bis
door, take bis Dipa and tobacco out or
A rawer of a little nine table, and take one
big, tremenjuous smoke. Bir, this air the
only srnokio Mr. Lively da in tb twenty,
fniir hnura. But when be smoke be smoke.
A-.lLh.wav he do blow! Wbv, fir, he
fairly whittles as lie shoot out tha smoke.
SicU vilence, you know, cau't last, and his
pipe might soon give out. He don't seem
lo take pleasure in bis stnokin ; but he smoke
because it seem be air got to smoke before
he go to bed, and lie git through it quick as
possible.
"Well, sir, when be do git through, be
put bis pipe and tobacco back, and then be
moved ins table up to the foot of his bed.
Which in course it air a single bed, and I
should say it war a cheap one at that. It
air a busk tnalti iss on a iron bedstead, w ith
one blanket and one quilt; but neither nary
bolster, nor nary pillar, nor nary sheet.
When he have moved the table to the loot
of his bed, as I told you, he proceed to pull
on ins tioois. JNow what do you suppose
he do with them boots, sir ? Make a pillar
of ,em. Yes, sir, he twist cm up and wrap
em up iu an old newspaper, and put cm
under his uiattriss for a pillar. Mr. Lively,
sir, air not a extravagant man by no mcuiis.
j Now, sir, what do you suppose be pull off
next I
I I ventured to guess his coat, or more pro
I bably, his bat.
j "No, sir nary one. What fullers next is
his Oreechcf ! It., sir, Ins breeches. Ami
now about them breeches. I alwins thought
Mr. Lively had two pair, and one gray. So
j did Miss Hodge. So did everybody. Well,
j sir, I air now prepared to say that Mr. Live
ly have not but one pair, without you call
j it two pair when one pair air lined with
tot her pair and tother pair are lined with
j them. For that's the fact of the case. They
, are lined with one another. That's the way
he have em made by a Irishman keep a little
I stoic down on l'ratt street.
"So thar stand Mr. Lively in his present
: pre.dit anient, and be do look lively, I tell
you. Now, sir, you would suppose that,
i especially in cool weather, Mr. Lively mout
j wenr drawers. It look reasonable. Well,
: sir, Mr. Lively do not wear drawers; but he
do wear the longest shirt I ever see of a
man of his inches. It come plum below the
bone of his knees. I could but notice, alter
j Mr. Lively pulled off his breeches, how
i small was his legs compared w ith hisself in
! other respects. Yit, don't suppose that I
exactly see Mr. Lively's legs, sir. Cause
by ? Can you tell me'why I do not see Mr.
Lively's legs ? You gin it up? Well, sir,
the cause air ntvckem! Yes, sir, gtockens,
the first pair that I ever see on a man per
son, exceptin at a theater or a circus, where
them thai wears em expects you to laugh at
em for wearing ol em. Aud them stockens
of Mr. Lively come exactly perpendicular
up to jist below where his shu t retches down
and they fit him tight, and his legs is un
common small, speakin comparative. Mr.
Lively's legs wiouf have calves, but if they
had, I couldn't see cm uary one of them
nights.
"Well, sir, when be take off bis breeches,
) he lay cm keerful on the table with the top
part to the bed, and alter taking out n bigibelp, and we had to go. Through forests,
red tremenjus pocket hankcrchicf out of his
coat pocket, he take that off also, and lay it
keerhd on t ip ol the breeches, collar o it
up, towards the bed. And now he air ready
to take oil' his hat. So ho set down on the
bed. poke bis hands under his liar like he
war goiu to scratch the sides ot bis head;
then be give a sudden bow and a sudden
jerk, when here come that hat, carryin along
with it every liar on Mr. Lively's head ! Yes,
sir, he wear a wig; and it's the first time 1
knowed it. I knowed he died bin eyebrows,
but thought his bar war the natral liar of
bis ow n heud. Now if you want to see
somethin round and slick, and white, you
ought see Mr. Lively's head in them circum
stances. Oh, if it don't shine! and if it
don't do him good to rub it ! But jist like
his smokin, he uir mighty soon through '
that operation, and then, tun his his heud
i up sale and sound iu that same red hatiker
1 chef, lie slip his hut and its contents uuder
; his bed on the floor. And now- thar stands
I Mr. Lively reudy for bed, and if you didn't
j know it were him, but somebody was to
i tell you it war a person of the name of Live-1
j ly, you couldn't Bay if it war Mr. Lively or j
I Miss Lively. If it warn't for his westeoat I
you'd say it war Hm Lively, because thur's
j e,s js oucommon small thar's his stockens,
(US loiiir Sinn, nun iiuiwiiusuiuuiu' in
you'd say it war Mister Lively, for thar's his
wti-tcoat. As it air, your mind air in a
confusion of a hcsilatin doubt what uve
highly amusin."
Li ii t of course he takes off bis waistcoat
I at last ("
".Not bo, 6ir. Nary time. Leastways,
not till next moruin. And when he do it
air for to turn it over jest like his breeches;
for, sir, jest like them, it -air double also,
and made by that same little Irishman down
on l'ratt street. No sir, that westeoat don't
come oil' till mornin."
"Hut why dots he sleep iu it?''
"Hecaiise, sir, westcoats is cheaper than
blankets that is, sir, westcoats by their
sclves is cheaper than blankets and west-
coats both put together."'
juacK announceu tins wmi us uiiicu em
phasis as if he had but newly discovered a
great principle in political economy.
"And now Mr. Lively air ready for bed,
and bis cundlo air most out. So he take
his walkin stick, and liftin up the kiver, he
get in 6low and gradual
"Did you say, Mack, that he took bis
walking stick to bed with him V
"I did, sir. Yes, sir, be took his walkiu
stick ; uud whitt do he do with it ? Why,
sir, he smooth down his shirt with it in the
HiKt ii ace. and then he tucK tliul uianaei

Wimen will scold and fret even of nights,
when they a'r wake, and childring will cry,
and have the croup, and the colic, and kick

kick you all over; yet, air, Mr. Hood, we can't

I left Mnck in the midst of his enjoyment
of this, novel idea, and continued on n-.y
way, agreeing with him thus far, at least,
that the world is made up of all sorts of
persons ; but still imagining that Mr. Lively,
notwithstanding his odd and inexpensive
manner of life, might be as well oft'- us some
married men, even among those of my own
acquaintance.

Skurmaii's Xribule to tlte Army.
SrF.Ecn at St. Louis
The second annual meeting of the Society
of the Army of the Tennessee, w hich occur
red last week in St. Louis, was a grand
affair. The principal address was delivered
by General Sherman, who was enabled to
be present by the kindness of General Auger,
who volunteered to represent him at an In
diau council at Fort Lnrramie. We make
some extracts from his speech :
' It wns not for all of us to celebrate that
day July 4, 1BG3 in wine and rejoicing,
for some of us bad to content ourselves with
water taken Irom those dirty ponds which
Jackson poisoned by the dead carcases of
a lleeiiig army ; but others of you did behold
our flag arise on that white court house
in Yicksbiirg, which hud bo long been the
target for our artillery ; and that other scene
of exquisite interest, when every gunbout
and every steamer came pouring out from
nook and cove above, and from the dark
waters of the deadly Yuzoo, and hurried
down to that levee where for so long a time
they bail been strangers.
"I have often thought in my dreams of
the 'Luminary,' bright as a fairy, decked off
with her flags, aud steaming down the tur
bid waters of the Mississippi, proclaiming
to the world that that great river was again
tree, and that her waters went 'unvexed to
the sea.'
"But the end was not yet. Our comrade
Army of the Cumberland, fur away in the
mountains of F.ast Tennessee, called for
over river, through iv.ua una over tne rocks
we paused not till Lookout Mountain witli
its rebel batteries frowned down upon us
and upon our beleagurcd comrades in Chat
tnno.'a, You reuiemoer I was summoned
ahead of you to meet General Grant in
Chattanooga, and I recall my feelings as,
standing with him on the parapet of Fort
Wood, lie pointeel out to me the circling
rebel-camps, with their pickets walking
their posts in clear, broad daylight closu up
to ur lines. I then iralbcd that our troops
were closely besieged, and that our general,
unaccustomed to such close quarters, only
awaited your arrival to cut tho Uordiati
knot, and set his army free.
"So impatient was he, that after receiv
ing his orders I hastened back to meet you
at Bridgeport, pulling an oar myself one
bright moonlight night down these thirty
miles of river, and without allowing you a
moment's rest I hurried you forward. You
know the sequel ; how we massed behind
those hills, und laid t hut pontoon biidge
below Chiciiinauga at night, und hastily
marched to the top of Mission Kidge, the
prolongation of liragg's line of investment.
Clearly, there was not room for us both, aud
one of us had to quit. We had not the
remotest intention ot going, and lirugg fell
into every trap which our general hud set
for hi in. "lie drew from his centre nsaaainst
us to such un extent that Thomas, with the
Armv of the Cumberland, burst out of his
old intrenchments, and swept the rebel host
off that Mission Ilidee and paused not till
the broken fragments had escaped beyond
Kin'-L'old Gap, leaving us masters iu the
Tennessee vallev.
"I have always wished that
some nrtist like Liierstadt or Kauffmann
could have stood at my side on Kenesaw
that beautiful October morning, and fixed
on canvass that beautiful picture of the vast
forest at our feet, with its 1'iL'bt autumucd
foliage, and the long lines of soldiers point
ing towards Dullas, w hilst in the fax-off dis
tance was Alatoona. beuirt witli the wlnte
smoke of the rebel assault, and the occasion
al ulimpse of the little signal flag through
an embrasure, wbich told me, through the
skillful ottictr by my side, that Corse was
there, and consequently that the. place was
sate.
"Or better still, that a Beard or Healy
could have caught that gorgeous picture as
we rode out ot Atlanta that beautiful morn
ing iu November and turned to look at At
lauta smouldering in its ruins, whilst long
lines of soldiers, with tbeir white topped
wauons. were starting they knew not
whither, aud the w hole uir resounded with
that favorite autheiu ut 'John ISrown'ssoul
goes marching on,' taken up from the band
by the marching columns as by a common
instinct.
"Or who will attempt the scene when
Hazeu's old division, after long weeks and
months perilous marching down to tue sea
wulked with colors flying, aud dressed by
brigades on the centre, right iuto Fort Mu
Alister, and the loud shouts of bis men
reached us across those rice fields, aud were
carried buck to our main camps, telling
them that our fleet was earned '! that
Savannah's fate was sealed. I Applause.
"Do vou suppose acy one can ne
acribo to me the bitter anguish of that mo
mcnt when Md'herson, who had just lett
me in joyous health, was brought back and
laid dead at my feet : that t emtio yell when
the Army of the Tennessee learned that
tbeir noble commander, whom they loved so
well, would never again be seen in lile, and
that to them was consigned the dread task
otrevenael
'And last of all. when at Hsleicb, the sad
tidings came, and bung over us all for days
like a Dull, that Mr. Uucolo.-our beloved ne
sident, bad been assassinated by the coward
villain liootb. Even now I tremble when
I think what might have befallen the peo
pie of Raleigh, had not our men been long and should he carefully used. Feed regu
schooled in tbe terrible lessons of a bloody larly, and anly so much as an animal cats
war. Obi bow we bad all looked forward
to that day when he should come forth to
meet us, with his tall form aud Naming
eye, applause, to welcome us back again
to our homes, after our long and devious
wanderings; but it was not reserved for
him, and another did it in bis stead, whilst
tho whole nation stood by to proclaim with
shouts of joy. Well done.good and faithful
soldiers, and now, I, your commander, after
a lapse of more than two years, re-echo the
snnic sentiment, and tell you, you have your
reward, not in money, or precious jewels,
not in lands and houses, but in the con
sciousness of a noble duty well done, and
in tte possession of those priceless memories
that will become more and more precious
as time rolls on. The flay will como when
not a man in this land of ours but would
share with you his wealth, could he say, like
you, that he, too, was of tho army of the
Tennessee cheers, and could tell bis child
ren that ho bad beard the first hostile shot
at Fort Henry and tho last boom of cannon
at Iialuigh.
"I recull a little circumstance in Memphis
in tho summer of 1863. We were lying in
camp, drilling in preparation for the coming
winter, wnen i was visited by a gentleman
of high education, a captain then, and now
Admiral Lessoffski, of the Russian navy, who
accompanied mo in many drills and reviews,
always complimenting our men on their
soldierly appearance. On one occasion we
rode into the camp of Barrett's battery, and
we timed them Irom the call of assembly
till the battery was harnessed Up and out in
the field ready for action. Ho was much
pleased "at their promptness. I explained
that our men were not professional soldiers,
but bad been mechanics, clerks and laborers
only a few months before. He seemed to
admit that was possible, but he suid, What
will you do with these men when tho wnr is
over ? I answered. Thev will all ouietlv and
peacefully return to their homes. He shook
his head, and did not believe mo. I have
no doubt that ho has siuce given us, as a
people, full credit for this result, to hint and
to all Europeans so cmigmatical iu its char
acter. Yes, our men havo returned to their
homes in peace and quiet, and go where I
may, I meet them all more or less busy at
their varied callings. Instead of the great
art of destruction they are now practising
thut better art of construction. Dodge,
guiding the Pacific railroad(that stupendous
monument of the energy and resources of
our people) across the Hocky Mountains.
Casement laying his two miles of rails per
day. Wright seeking out the way for the
Southern Pacific road. Sprague at the north,
building westward. Corse constructing
harbors on the great lakes. Blair and War
ren planting cotton at the Bouth. Wilson
delving out the Mississippi and planning to
make of tho Illinois river a majestic canal,
fed by tho great lakes of the north ; and
turn which way we may we find our com
rades busy, their swords turned into prun

When Sir Thomas Moore lay in prison for
conscience-sake, he was visited by his wife,
who was a somewhat worldly-wise woman.
"What, the good year, Mr. Moore," said
she, in the dialect of those days, "I marvel
that you, who have been hitherto always
taken for a wise man, will so play the fool
as to lie lu re in this close, filthy prison, anil
be content to be shut up thus with mice and
rats, when you might be abroad at your
liberty, with the favor and goodwill both of
the king and his council, if yon will but do
as the bishops and the best learned men of
his realm have done ; and, seeing you have
at Chelsea a right fair house, your library,
your oooks, your gallery, aud other neces
saries so hundsome about vou. that vou

children and household be merry, 1 muse

AGRICULTURAL, &C.
From the American Agriculturist.
Iliuttt About Work.
J7i winter ereningt have come, and it is a
matter of the first importance that a portion
them should be devoted to the cultivation
it the mind. The summer has necessarily
been devoted to labor. In the winter, Na
ture puts a barrier upfm many of our labors,
and w e should take advantage of the interval
to read upon topics inai nave oeeu- -rreu
for want of time to discuss them. " mind
needs cultivation as much as the aud it
is geneially the state ot the mind that makes
farming profitable or otherwise. Tho.iain
is more aud more showing its pow.r every
year in vconomizing farm labor, and no man
can afford to remain in ignorance of the
manifold appliances that help bis industry
beep the mind improving, and make ail
vour farm operations a means of mental cul
ture. Look nack over tne past year, anu
see wherein you have made bad plans, or
failed to carry out good ones. Determine
what practices have been profitable and
what ought to be abandoned. Every year's
operations ought to have its lessons for the
thinking lartner, and settle some principles.
Periodical. These are indispensable now
to keep a man abreast of his times. No in
vestment pavs better than a tew dollars in
the best agricultural and horticultural journ
als. Farming is progressive like the other
arts, and there is money saved and gained
in tbe hints wbich these papers drop in their
mon.hly or weekly visits.
Fodder. This has cost money to raise
up clean, mere is waste in irregular, or
over feeding. If you fodder in the yard let
it ha under a shed, with rck t put the
hay in. Stocks should be brought to the
barn and foddered there. It is wasteful to
scatter hay upon the ground. Much of it is
trampted and lost.
Lite Stork of all lindt should have tbe
owners' daily supervision. If others do tho
work, his eyes should see that it is well
done. Tew hired men can be tiustcd to do
things constantly according to directions.
In the very cold weather there is a constant
temptation to consult his own case rather
than the comfort of the animals entrusted to
bis cure, l'ccd and water regularly, and
shelter all cattle iu barns or sheds. Pino
boards are cheaper than bay and grain.
Keep salt within reach of horses, cattle, and
sheep. A large lump of rock salt is beat
for this purpose. If they can lick when they
please, they will not take it in excess. At
tend to ventilation in barns and stables, and
give the animals the benefit of the sun for a
while on clear days. Keep all animals in a
thriving condition.
Colt aud Steer. Improve the leisure- of
the season to break them in to work. Tho
smooth snow path makes light loads, and
their strength should not bo much taxed At
first.
Hones. Tho horse above all animals
wants careful handling. See that the shoes
aw well put on, and the caulks sharpened
as icy weather approaches. Warm blankets
savo fodder nud promote health. If the
young folks go on a Blcigh ride, insist upon
the horse blanket to keep company with tho
robes for Tom and his sweetheart. Thero
will be bills enough to settle without a sick
horse in the stable to be doctored.
Cotes. Keep the stables clean and well
bedded at night. Sprinkle plaster or dried
peat upon the floors when cleaned out, to
save the ammonia nnd to avoid injury to the
eyes of the cows. Ventilate thoroughly, and
from the top of the barn if possible. Givo
them an opportunity to exerciso an hour or
two in the warmest part of the day. Keep
the horns ornamented with balls, if the y are
iuclincd to be quarrelsome, l'lan to Lave
one or more furrow, or new milch cowb for
wiuter, There is no substitute for a plenty
of good milk in tho family.
Cows IIoi.dixg Up TiiEirt Mii.k. It seems
as if there must be some way of influencing
a cow to give down her milk, but we know
of no specific remedy. The usual causes are,
we think, jealousy for her calf, and nervous
ness. A cow always used to kiud treatment
should not be jealous of her milker. Ono
which does not suckle her own calf at nil
will not be jealous on its account One of
a nervous temperament may be quieted if
fed or "messed" in a stall or loose box at
the tin e of milking. A nervous cow ought
to be handled by a quiet, gentle person.
Bois'terousncss in the yard or stable, and
ruii"li usage, will get cows into all sorts ot
bad habits.
Clottt Milk rs One Tkat. A man in
Wisconsin has a cow wbich gave clotty
milk from one teat at a time, different teats
being nflected. This is a mild stage of gar
get, and the cow would probably becurcd
by a dose ot 1 lb. ol epsom suits, and 4 or.
of ginger mixed with molasses. If the cow
manifests leer)shncss, add half un ounce of
saltpeter, and be very thorough about milk
ing. It more than one teat is ullectcd, or it
the bag is sore, milk several times a any,
and washing it with warm water, knead it
gentlv each time. Wurm crease is oltcn
applied with advantage after tho washing.
i he farmers remedy is Garget-root, or Toke-
root, of which a few ounces are given, shaved
up with the feed. It is laxative, aud usually
efficacious, but not always at hand.
Another way is, take a handlul of Poke-
root, chop it line, boil til! tender, aud give
it to the cow in feed or slops. It has never
been known to Ian.
Wood euttings and LunJicr. Now is tho
time to lay in a stock of wood for tbe yea!.
v eii-scasoneu wood saves luel, time, money,
and the temper of the housew ife. Much of
the comfort of a family depends upon the
kitchen fire. Rails have also to be provided
upon many farms. Posts are wanted, and
joints, plunks, ami boards. Saw-mill logs
are much more easily carried upon sleds
than upon carts. Improve the first good
snow to move them.
The Ire llareent. Secure this as soon us
the ice is six inches thick. This sometimes
comes in December, und does not come
again. If an ice house is wanting, build one.
Ice is at once a luxury aud a necessary in
summer. The dairy is better managed with
it, and many perishable articles can be pre
served that would otherwise be lost.
" Tvols. Xow that the season is ended,
overhaul all implements and vehicles. He
pair damirgts, aud if new tools are wanted,
secure them, to be ready for next year's
operations. If these have co abiding place,
build a tool-house without deluy, and illus
trate that motto : "A place for every thing
and every thing iu its place."
Seed. Get a complete assortment for next
year. Much of ;he success of farming de
pends upon this item, r or corn select sound
ears, and those growing two ears upon a
stalk. Keep the ears in a dry, warm room.
until thoroughly cured. Much poor seed
corn is planted every year, and people won
der why it docs not come up. tarty seed
potatoes should be secured now. It often
makes a uiuereuce ot null in price whether
a crop is marketed in July or October. Burn
up the old garden seeds aud get a new btock
from some reliable aeedsmau. Our present
postage law biingB a seed store to every
man's door, and hu has no excuse for plant
ing seed thut are most too good to throw
away, but not quite good enough to como
up. Doubtful seeds will not pay wheu good
ones can be bad for love or money.
Oi't-liartl und Nurstry,
HaMt are often destructive to vounc
orchards, and various preventives have been
Irom time to time proposed. The simplest
of these, aud tbe one largely followed at tho
West, is to sprinkle the trunks of the trees
with blood, or, what answers the same pur
pose! 'lb them with a piece of fresh liver.
Cii oy be cut any time, provided the
twigs ot frozen. Choose good, well
ripened of last season's growth ; tie
