JOTS OF THE AGRICULTURIST.

Now theinerry. merry farmer getteth up at four o’clock. And he goes out a-feeding and a-watering his stock; And he flgbteth grubs and insects all the bright and smiling morn. For the worm is in the cabbage and the bug is in the corn.—Chicago Tribune. And the while the farmer fights the little bugs and worms. Lest the pesky nuisance steals a bit of what be earns. Another band of villians. made legal by the state. Are laying for the portion that the bugs don’t take.—The North West. And some farmers keep a votin’ jest as their fathers did. And the truth from their dense biain is forever from them hid: For they "cotton” to their meanest foe, no matter what they’re told. And never seem to realize that the worst "bug” is called “gold.”
