"The next morning I went down to the lore, wondering what my first streak ol ^ood luck would be. llcfore night I had ai misunderstanding with my employer? with whom I liavo been for several years? we both got hot, and the result was thai he gave (he notice that, after the first ol next January, he would dispense with ni) sorf ices.

G?od ploughing mean a the thorough pulvoriiatiou of ' the soil, and the best ploughman is he who can break up the ground into the finest particles. Plough an iuch or so deeper each 1 vear, and thus deepen your seed bed and 1 bring the subsoil iuto contact with light and 1 air for their chemical operations. You can never go too deep, provided you go slowly. Never ho in a hurry at this kind,of work. If you have not the time to do your work just right make the time.' One aero well ploughed is worth two acres half wi?y dond. if a rook or a root or any othor obstruction is in your way stop and get rid of it entirely.

Too Bad.?.During a trial beforo Judge many years ago at llillsboro', the old Judge, who was an inevitable tobaccc cbcwor, and spit about him promiscuously spit upon the bald head of the clerk, who as was the custom in those days, had hit sent directly in front of and considerably below the Judge; and who could only be seen by tho Judge upon leaning over the railing and looking down.

After using ull kinds of epithets, one of tho mcu thrust bis hand bohiud him ns though to draw n pistol, nuu then took it away. The quarrel terminated without damage to cither party. An old man ^rom South Arkansas shook back his long hair and advaucing to the man who had made the hip posket motiou, remarked : "Both of you men are strangers hero, I reckon ?" "Yes." "Not acquainted with our little rules of polilcuess ?" 1'IIow?" "Why, you put your hand bchiud you just now." "Yes." "You didn't pull a gun ?" "I huven't got a gun." . ?

I" have sent this prescription f.o several agricultural papers, hoping it would bo of some use to farmers Hut they all seem slow to believe ; perhaps because the remedy is at hand and costs nothing. It ought to be at the head of tho veterinary column of every agricultural paper. I own I was slow to believe myself, but having a fine young mare ttith largo bleeding warts, that covered parts of the bridle aud girths whenever used, I thought thoro would be no harm in trying lard on them. When tho mare wnsgot up for the third application there were no warts, and the scars are there now, after more than fifteen years, with very little change.? Germantown Telegraph As this is leap year, it is well to know what the law of leap year is. The law, it , is said, takes no notice of parts of- days, I and as to the 29lh of February it takes no I notice of the whole day. The 28th and : 29th are computed as one dav. For exam pic: Suppose a note is dated on .tlic 28tli of February, 1880, payable one month from date. Ordinarily it would be payable on tho 4th of March, and so it is in leap year, and not on tho 2d.
