Gss>The question is often ask WHY il If
that DR.. J. G. Young is so successful while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day TO
day. The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparent to all; it is. that he understand his
profession. and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends So close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac
tice, that he is perfect master Of his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble: and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered.
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head OF his arduous profession. So great has
been his Increase of business that he has been
obliged to associate himself with two other physi.
clans. both of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise ell afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system. and will always Warrant, perfect cure.

the stock market has brought capitalists to

Of many Of the securities dealt in. 1t is
greatly to the credit Of the Government that
lis loans, of all the securities daily dealt in

rity Of price better than almost anything
else. Its Five.Iwenty year six per cent
loan, the interest on which Is promptly paid

the pressure in the money market, at an
average Of moIe than two millions per day.

FEEDING MEAL TO STOCK.

Doubtless many Of your readers have
had longer experience in feeding mcal.
and perhaps know as economical and cf
fectual manner of feeding it as the sub
scriber. I believe there are few ut
least, Of your patrons, line many far
mers whom l know who feed from four
to eight quarts Of meal day to one beef
creature, till they iced from seven to ten
cwt. of meal to one beef, and who never
slaughter an ordinary sized beef that
yields upwards of forty pounds OF rough
tallow. This is a great waste. My
practice in fattening beef and swine, as
we'll as feeling COWS for milk, has been
to pour boiling water on as much meal
as would not make the animals bowels
move too freely, at night end morning !;
when the mush is cool, give it to the
cow or pig. In covering the meal with
boiling water in this way, the starch Of
che grain is dissolved, and the lutcnt
a1ttritive properties extracted, and the
animal receives tho entire nutrimcnt of
tie grain.
/ calculate stock do not, in eating dry
neaa, receive more than unc-half Of the
goodness of the meal. There is not &C.
ton enough in mastication, or heat suf-
Bcient in the stomach Of tic animal, to
extract and receive the entire and real
sweetness Of the grain. Had l roots l
should feed them to NY tattcning beet.
But not having any, ] feed only meal
and hay, and l have fattened two ordi-
nary sized cows, two years past, and to
which 1 only fed three cwt. Of meal
each, and they each yielded upwards Of
forty pound Of rough tallow Once a
week I throw into the mush little salt,
and occasionally tablespoonful Of
good ashes. My experience teaches
me that ono cwt. of meal as described
above, is equal to two cwt. fed dry

wlNTERlNG SHEEP.

In reply to some inquiries in regard
to his method Of feeding sheep in win
ter, John Johnston writes as follows:
The best time to yard sheep for fat
tening, or even store sheep, is when
they do not improve on the pastures.
There should be no loss Of condition in
the autumn or early winter. nor at any
other time.
You want dry yards veil Uttered, SO
that they can always have a clean bed,
with sheds to 60 in whom they choose !;
but urless quite stormy they always
prefer the yards for their bed.
I have fed as many as 600 in one
yard, but that is too many, as they orc
apt to hurt each other in goiug to their
grain. From $50 to 200 in one yard
does very we'll.
l salt once q week, when feeding
grain, about two quarts to tho 100
sheep. Whom fed oil-p'eaF without
any grain, they care little for salt, and
feed them none. It is the same with
cattle I put the salt in the troughs
when there is no grain in them.
For tic first two months ] general.
ly feed straw only for fodder, and
have sold many fat sheep that got moth
ing but straw for fodder. But much
depends upon the condition Of the
straw. If the wheat is cut in raw
state-that is, not quite ripe-and gets
no rain, il makes better shoep-fodder
than ripe timothy hay.
fodder tho sheep three times a day
in the common board racks. feed
the grain twice dsy-one busho! t.

RAISING ORCHARDS IN THE WEST.

Mark D. Wilson, Of Dodge county,
Wisconsin, who has been quite success
full in raising orchards at the West
writes to the Country Gentlemt,n mud
states the following as the essential par
ticulars Of his management:
lst. Printing on >knolls or dry rids-
es and using little or no manure. This
canses the trees to grow moderately and
to ripen their wood so as to endure the
cold of winter. The warm summers
md fertile soil ut the West renders this
more essential than in the castor"
States. The growth Of about two fee,
each season, is good bearing length
when much exceeding this, poorer
soil should be chosen and cultivation
diminished; when less, the soil should
at once be cultivated and enriched.
?. Trees should BIT pruued with low
heads, tho bare trunks not exceeding
two and halt or three feet high. Such
trees are much less exposed to high
winds.
Sd. A mound Of smooth earth q foot
high is made about each tree lato IN
autumn, to keep off the mice, and sew
cral inches Of straw spread five or six
feet each way about it to protect the
roots from severe freezing. This is
