 We need not speak to the public of its virtues-- throughout every town, and almost every hamlet of the American States its wonderful of pulmona ry complaints have made it already known. Nay, few are the families in any civilized country this continent without some personal experience of its effects; and fewer yet the communities anywhere which have not among them some living trophy of its victory over the subtle and dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs While it is the most powerful antldote yet known to man for the formidable and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary organs, it is also the pleasantest and safest remedy that be employed for infants and young persons.

ao3d Advice to Farmers.

Qo,d Advice to Farmers.
 The following beautiful passage is from George Bisrce's late address at Twinsburg His closing is peculiarly beautiful:
 Let the farmers motto be, then, "good farms, good stock, good seed and good cultivation" Make farming a science in which y,ur heads ss well s your hands are employed; let there be system and reason in all your operations study to make your farms beautiful and your lands lovely; entice. by kindness, the birds to visit and cheer your dwellings with their music I would not associate with the man or boy that would wantonly kill the birds that chcerfuy sing around our dwellings and our farms ; he is fitted for treason and murder. Who does not, with the freshness of early morning, call up the memory of the garden of his infancy and childhood the robins nest in the old cherry tree and the nest of young chirping birds in the currant bushes? the flowers planted by his mother, and nurtured by his sisters? In all our wanderings the memory of child hoods birds and flowers are associated with our mother and sister and our early home. As you would have your children intelligent and happy, and their memory in after life, of early home, pleasant or repulsive, so make your farms and your child rcn's home.

Waste of Fertilizers.

The amount of manure wasted in the United States is . subject of amazement and alarm i,,- dicious observer has put it at one hundrrd millions of dollurs worth annually, passing of into the air in lost gases, or washing away from barn. yards out into the road. moulding away unnoticed in secu. ded corners all over the farms And the worst, and truest view of all this is, that this great of fertilizing material, came originally from the soil,
 and ouglt to be restored to it, for if it be not it theft of the worst sort impoverishng both the land and the owner thereof All decaying vegetable sub. stances when they shall have reached that point of ling must be restored to the sol there to complete their decay to such perfect degree, that Nature can again spread them upon her ample board. at her great annual feeding and feasting of her mutfarious vegetable children.-FTom H.
