Double Minded Farmers.

One great principle for success in
business, is learning trade well and
then sticking to it, 1t requires Il
long time to know everything con.
nccted with successful business. An
acquaintance, a seed dealer, stated
that for the first five years he could
not ascertain that he made anything
Before ten years, he was clearing
five thousand dollars per year, An
other was doing well in manufactur-
ing ropes. But he was unstable in
mind, and although his friends adj
yised him to chang to the ropes" he
was not getting rich fast enough, but
lie meddled with business he had
not learned sufficiently, bought a
mill, bought grain, and then broke o
bank by his failure. Some farmers
come to the conclusion that cows are
the most profitable; purchase ami
mails, erect buildings; they do not
succeed rs they expected; they
might if they would stick to it. The
next year they sell their dairy and
buy sheep. The price of wool is low
that year, and they hear that much
money has been made in raising to-
bacco. Thus they go on, changing
from one thing to another, and new
succeed in any. Stick to your bust
ness. ....

they have frequent attacks, and are more sem

condition the nose may be dry, or q slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increasedi in quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawked or coughed off, The secretions
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 I'm the morning of a thiclt 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 its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in
