Roots for Cattle.

The exhibitions ut tho various agricultural
fairs through the country, have decided one
thing to tue satisfaction Of all observing peo-
pie. Namely, that cattle fed upon root crops
are the l~ikeliest, best locking cattle. We
mention this mt this particular time, that the
farmers may lay in a good supply of Turnip
seed, and SOW a~bandantly. With proper
care several hundred bushels Of Huta Bagas
may be raised on one acre Of land, and is OF
far more value than hay from the same guam
tty Of land. AS this region Of country does
not seem to do well for hay-raising, it would
DO we'll for the farmers to turn their atten-
ton to root crops. And as the Ruta Baga
yields enormous crops aud keeps all winter
with far less trouble than is required to keep
the sweet potatoc, we think it advisable for
farmers to turn their attention to this crop.

SANFORD'S INVIGORATOR,
For all purposes Of a stimulating Liv-
er Medicine.

T9 HERE has long existed a demand for such a
4 remedy that could be relied on as safe and eff
fectual. This remedy has been prepared to meet
shown how universally it has accomplished the
purpose designed. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by the use of the Invi-
gorator we mention Lieer Complaint, which is the
cause of many other diseases-among which are,
Billiousness, Headache, Pain in the Side and Loins,
Bilious Fever, and Ague, J~aundice, Indigestion,
Languor and loss of Appetite, Listlessness and If
ritability-all of which are caused by q diseased
action of the Liver. The Invigorator is compound
ed with particular reference to the Liver, and when
that disease is removed all the rest are cured, as
the cause of them is taken away. A few doses of
the lnvigorator rarely ever fail to stimulate the
proper action, and by its continued use to remove
the disease. 1t has been taken with great success
in cases ofCholic, Dysintery, Humors, Scrofula, I'll.
GERS, DC, and for these it has been found a very
eficacious remedy. An occasional dose stimu-
lates the stomach to a healthy action and restores
the appetite and vigor. One dose win relieve the
oppressive uneasiness experienced by eating q hear
ty dinner, as it excites the digestive organs to Wig
orous action. For a debilitated state of the sys
TEN the Invigorator has no equal which experience
proves, as it restores the system and removes thc
y~ellowness from the skin which is the result of
diseased Liver.
Prepared and sold by Sanford & Co., 1888 From
St, New York. Price 81 90 per bottle, containin!
forty doses. Also sold by Williams & Haywood

The Birds have gone.

They have left their summer mansions,
The dwellers Of the trees
In vain we list their warblings sweet
Mid sighings of the breeze:
For wintry storms and gathering,
Their household homes are bare,
Tho warm and sheltcring summer leaves
Arc whistling through the air.
The Lark has fed the meadows,
Tho Turtle Dove her pine,
The French Robins nest hangs gloomily
Upon the helpless vine:
The Jay rorsakes the willow tres,
And from his shed, the Wren
SIc4Is OF his weary winter flight,
through southern glade and glen.

Sucks honey from the flowers;

WHAT IS Coon FARMINO?-lIow is it that
q man should farm, to do the most credit to
himself and his landlord ? 1t is the general
question that must hore be considered. A
crop Of turnips, n herd Of cattle, or II sample
Of seeds have made many a ores fame ere
now though, after all, these can only be in
di,idual items in the account. 1t is the uni
foam and mcthodical excellence of n system
that in the long run will be the most likely
u pay. To bo sure, some have wooed for
tune, and wooed her we'll, too, 10y directing
their energies more particularly to one es-
pccial branch Of tho pursuit. Such, howev-
tr, ct Scst, can 10 but exceptional. Their
very success depends on there being but few
others anywhere near an equality with them.
Whereas good cultivation, on q Limited area
like ours, can never extend too generally !;
while, were we called on to fashion u model
farmer, we can only repeat that we should
have him to mainly depend on the thorough
harmony Of his arrangements. Like an ac-
eomplishCd musician, or a real gentleman,
there should not be o note out Of place, or an
ornament but what was warranted by its
use. Aud Why not have a model farmer p
We have prize oxen, renowned sheep and fa.
nous pigs. Beyond these even, despite the
flow Of riiiculc with which it was so long at
tempted to swamp the effort, we have still
premiums for good laborers. Each, in their
several ways, has been found to answer. Nc
man was yet ever the worse for q little well.

VALUE OF SHEEP TO THE FARNER.-It is of
more Importance to the farmer than is gem
orally supposed, that q certain portion Of his
farm stock should consist Of sheep. Speak
ing Of this point, Il. S. Fay, Of Linn, recent
ly remarked at an agricultural meeting in
Boston, las reported in the N. L. Farmer,)
. Sheep are cleaners aftor other stock, and
will keep the cattle pastures in good condi-
ton by being turned into them occasionally
to eat the coarser plants which haze been
left. They will enrich the land. There is

of your wonderful Hail Restorative. AS far back
RS 1886, my hair commenced falling off, until the
top of my scalp became bald ard smooth as glass,
and it has Continued to fall for a great many
years, Notwithstanding I have used many celebra-
ted preparations for its restoration. Seeing your
advertisement, I was induced to give your article
a trial, and, toSny utter astonishment, I found, at
ter a few applications, that my hair became firm
ly set, and assumed a glossy and beautiful APP
pearance and by the time l had used a quart bot
tie, my bald head was covered over with a young
and vigorous growth of hair, which is now from
one to tive inches in length and growing fast.
