The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more SEN
sitive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, OF a slight dis
charge thin and aorid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increasedi in quantity and changed
in EQUALITY; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawked or coughed of. The seoretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense
of smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom Of
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning of thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is on it's
way TO the lungs, and should lose no time in
arresting it,
The above are but few of the many Catarrh-
al symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for
our pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; !;
1t will be sent FREE to any address. Also,
directions where to procure the medicine.
We are daily receiving letters from soldiers

Keep the Best Stock

Some of our farmers are in a habit of
selling their best live stock, and keeping
the poorest to breed from This is bad
management. If farmer has good COW,
she is worth as much to keep as to sell
The same applies to all other stock. The
rule should be, keep The JeSt, and sell the
poorest.
We will illustrate q case as follows:
Farmer \ has COW that gives 20 quarts
Of milk day, from which lbs. Of butter
are made IN week, worth 80 cts. per pound.
He also has a cow that gives but 10 quarts,
from which four pounds of butter only can
be made in Il week. One cow he value at
$50 and the other al $40 He sells the $50
COW and keeps the other for his own u~g.-
Now, let us see how the account Will stand,
III regard 10 the protitS from these cows
The best COW produces 9 lbs, ot butter a
W. elk, say from May lst to Drcrmhrr lst-
30a weeks=274a lbs, 30 cts.,=$o2 80.
The other COW prodnces IN the same Itni,'
l22 lbs. ol butter, at 30 c., amounting @,
only $50 90, hjch Is S45.I5 profit less imam
tie best COW affords
1t costs in this case the same to feed each
COW, and it is safe to say, that the adyau-
tage in keeping good cows over poor ones
is not improperly shown III The above state
meHt. \ farmer actually hrOlcs 2Jray from
SO to $40 each seoSoa, when he sells a first
rat1 cow, and keeps 4 poor one in her place.

Indian Corn Fodder.

One of the most valuable crops a farmer
can grow is an acre or more of Indian corn
for fodder for his stock in the fall. Some
farmers SOW it broadcast, but it is better to
sow it in drills, about two feet apart, 50
that a cultivatOr can be run between the
rows II may be sown with any good seed
sower, or bean-planter. First furrow out
the drills for the seed with one-h0rse plow,
about three inches deep, and cover the seed
with the plow, which will leave the ground
in ridges and as soon as the corn has well
sprouted, and is about to come up, if the
ground were level, take one-horse harrow
and invert it-teeth up-and draw 1t cross
wise over the patch of corn until the ground
is made smooth. This operation gives the
corn a weeks start Of the weeds, and it will
require nothing as after cultivation but the
cultivator
The curing should be done by cutting up
the corn, leaving it day or two to wilt,
then bind it, stock it, and when dry stack
it; or, if you have room to set up the
sheaves on your hay mows, it will be bet
ter than to stack the fodder; but do not
lay the bundles on their sides, unless you
are willing to have them mould and become
worthless
Such a crop Of corn should be fed to stock
in the green state, when pastures are short,
and the surplus only cured and saved for
winter feed.
We are compelled at this season of the
year, to publish matter that cannot be i'm
mediately acted on but our readers should
preserve their papers, and look over their
contents at future time in order to avail
themselves of he good hints and rules that
we may publish.

SUMNER SHELTER FOR SHEEp.--Solomon
Green, of Townsand, Mass, says he has
kept sheep thirty years, and advises to have
small buildings erected in sheep pastures,
and that they should be kept dark, SO that
the sheep by going into them may avoid
the flies. He says that the sheep viii go
in at eight O'Clock in the forenoon, and re-
main till four o'clock in the afternoon The
house, he says, "shouId be built on run
ners, so that it can be moved, and this will
enrich the land. \ house y feet square is
sufficient to hold dozen sheep and their
lambs. Move it its length once in two or
three weeks He sends the following,
which he says is az "sure cure for grub in
the head and belly of Sheep" For six
sheep mix two quarts of oats with a large
teaspoonful ofyellow snui1, and give to the
sheep once week for few weeks, and
then once a month";.

TOBACCO RAISING. As soon as the frost is
out of the ground, burn brush heap, and
while the ground IS yet warm, SOW on the
seed and rake it il. One tablespoonful of
seed to ten feet square is sufficient. When
the plants have leaves about an inch long,
transplant to rich, warm soil, about four
feet apart each way Keep down the weeds
and also keep of the tobacco worm Nip
off the seed caps or flower buds as fast as
they appear, also the suckers, and let the
plants stand until they become spotted,
then cut close to the ground and hang them
over pole in the shed to dry.

the most civil. yet meaning Of repuIses.
Shaking hands is mode of greeting, the
origin of which is lost in ohscurity. Indi-
viduals display character in their mode Of
so doing. Who cannot feel at once the an-
taeonism between tbs touch of prude and
the cordial grasp OF . fIieud2 Who knows
not the sailors grip of candid hear,iness
from the conventional "giving Of hands ?"
How perfectly does the graduated or linger-
ing pressure cause the mercury in loves
barometer to rise or fall by the scale Of
hopes! What sympathies and antipathies
are demonstrated by the various degrees of
kindly, irresolute, vivacious, fond of earnest
manner Of shaking hands 1t is this rela-
ton between temperament, feeling, consid.
Grafton and the distinctive action of the
hand, which has given rise to those theories
which profess to read the predominant i'm
pulses Of character in the traits of ones own
handwriting.

TEACHING BY EXAMPLE Example is
living lesson. The life speaks. Every sc!
ton has tongue. Words are but articu-
late breath. Deeds are but the fac-similes s
Of the soul; they proclaim what is within.
The child notices the life. 1t should be in
harmony with goodness. Keen is the vision
of youth every mark is transparent. If a
word is thrown into one balance. lsed is
thrown into the other. Morning is more i'm
portant than that parents should be consist
ent. A sincere word is never lost; but ad-
vice, counter to example, is always suspect
ed. Both cannot be true one is false.
