In presenting you with DR.. EATONS IN
FANTlLE CORDIAL, we desire TO state its su-
periority over every nostrum that nurse or quock
has heretofore offered you.
First-It is the preparation OF a regular physi-
clan, ,Vho is well qualified from much experience
In infanite complaints to prescribe Tor them. Sec
ondly-l 1t Is entirely free from paregorlc or opae
orany kind, and consequently relieves by reno
wing the suffering of your child, ustead OF deaden
ing its sensibilites. Thirdiy-lt is put up with
great care. MS n comparison Off with any other
nrcio for iniantile complaints viii show; the
very roots from which it l. distilled being dug
from the forests, under the direction Of Dr. Eaton,
many of them by his own hands. FOurhy-lt is
perfectly harmless and cannot iniure the most del.
icate infant, and is certain cure and reliet in AL
the following cases, which Is its Chief merit over
every other preparation, viz;
FOR All COMPLAINTS ATTENDING
TEETHING: such MS DYSENTERY ,COLlC,
&c; also, for softening the gums, and relieving
pain. For regulating the bowels it is unequallcd.
For Cold IN the Head it is n sure reliel. For the
GROUP, the most fatal ond trying of diseases, it
can be relied on with perfect confidence; and be-
ing a powerful anli-spa srnodc in all cases OF con.
vulsons or fits, we earnestly recommend you 10
lose no time in procuring it. Lasty-lt costs so
much more than other preparations OF the kind,
that we cannot ailurn such long advertisements
ns can those whose whole expense is their ndver-
tising; for the same reason, it cOmmends itsei as
the most reliable to all mothers In all cases,
the directions, wrapped around each bottle, must
be strictly followed. Price % cents per bottle.

Dig holes for your trees FIVE OF six fee
in diameter, and twelve or fifteen inches

shall hold moisture better through the
summcr-for deep burrows always attrac
and retain moisture better than shallow
burrows.
While one man holds the tree per
pcndicularly, let another throw in any
kind Of guod earth next to the roots
but no kind Of manure should touch
them lest they become cankered and dry
A little rotten peat mud is good to mix
the loan, as this is remarkable for re
tanning moisture.
Let all the roots be spread out BY the
man who squats in the hole, and receives
the filling, as it comes fne from the
shovel No vacant place should be left
near the roots, fer this renders the fill
ing more dry than it otherwise will be.
Never set Il tree lower than it stood in
the nursery; for the roots nearest the
surface are those which flourish the
tree
Now when you have filed in the best
earth to come in contact with the roots,
and made the surface level, never at
tempt to make dish to held puddle Of
water on the surface, for water should
never stand there. But IN order to keep
the surface moist enough, place parcel
Of litter or mulch around the trunk four
or FIVE inches thick. Then place some
fit stones on this mulch to keep It in
place. and yon will not need to put a
stake to support the tree.
When 10 mulch is u.ed and the sum
mer proves dry, the tree will rock with
the wind and the earth placed around II
will yield and crack, letting in the air
and exposing the roots. Therefore nev.
er neglect to place mulch around the
trunk. 1t is quite an Important item il

three fold, as it keeps the tree ii place
keeps the soil light aud moist and pre-
vents entirely the growth Of weeds
grass, &c, which suck up the moisiur
that is needed 10 make the roots tax
hold.
In the fall this mulch must be re
moved or buried, else the mice ma
,nakc their nests there aud bark til
trees. The better mode is to bank u
tho tree before winter, and cover al sh
mulch that may remain. One minu,
to each tree, with spade, will be enoug
to form bank eight or ten inches higl
This will keep, away mice, and any su
face water that might be disposed
stand and freeze around the roots.
No manure Of any kind should con
in contact with the roots. Good garde
mould is rich enough. Corn ground
rich enough for trees. But if your Ian
is poor you can use tho straw manu-
from the barn yard to place on the 81
