era, and learn from others what they
cannot acquire at home, they must go
on, when they are placed atlho head Of
families themselves. in the same old
needless truck Of those who proceeded

It is time that this should be rcmOji

tho establishment of modern boarding
houses, where girls approaching the
stage Of womanhood may be instructed
in the orl and mystery Of cooking. A
term of three months tuition would be

Horses Injured by Hungarian Grass

AS has been previously stated in the
Agriculturalist from all tie evidence re-
ceived, there seems 10 be no peculiar
property in millet or Hungarian grass
which makes it hurLfuI TO horses or 9th.
or stock, but iniudicious feeding of the
riponed seed with the stock may be IN
furious. The following item from the
Prairie Farmer refers to this matter. A
gentleman having grown and fed consid-
mble of this grass to his stock last Sea-
son, several Of his horses became stiifen'
ed and almost useless. One, n fine
marc died. To ascertain what allied her.
he opened and examined her thoroughly
and found in her stomach ball of Hun
garian grass seel, weighing from seven
to eight pounds, so hard MS to be bro
ken with difficulty. Actius on this dis
covery. he gave his other horses dose
ofcastor oil, and very soon masses OF
seel passed fom them,apparenlg part Of
the balls described, some pieces as large
as hens eggs. II this be the difficulty
it may be prevented by scanning the
grass and seed before feeding. As is
well known, grain of any kind reaching
the stomach unbrokcn by the teeth, Is
not easily digested, and whole kernels Of
corn or oats may often bo found in the
excrement of animals, os the poultry
testify by assirluousIy scratching over
the manure heap. MiIet Of every var''
ETY. is so sraI as to be maslicated with
difficulty, aud most Of it will enter the

AYERS
Ague Cure,
FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

EOh TIL sfEbDi IOhE We
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of minsmntic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities Of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
We are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distelnper. This "CURG" cxpels
the miasmatic poison Of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms, 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
n dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FBvER
AND AauE prevails, every body should have it.
and use it freely both for cure aud protec.iorts
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-thc poor rs well rs the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intormittents is, that it contains
no Quininc or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left rs healthy rs if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agucis not aloha the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Govt, Headache,
Blindness, Toothaohc, Earache Catarh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection OF the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE cXpels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the maarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be cxcrctcd from tic system,
md cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from mtern,tcnts, ii they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af
fOrds.
