Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

Is q constitutional disease, n corruption Of tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation. It
pervad ~ the whole body, and may burst out
In disease on any pnrt Of it. No organ is free
from It's attacks, nor is there orc which II may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint j. ynriously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure mir, filth
aud filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncrcal infection. What
ever he its origin, it Is hereditary " the con.
stitution, descending &" from parents 10 chi!drcp
unto the third and fourth gcneration;" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tnbcrcles; in the glands, swcllngs; and on
the surface erupions or sores. This foul cor.
rnption. which gcnders in the blood, deprcssc,
the energies of life, so that scrofulous consttu.
tons not only suffer from scroful0us COM
plants, but they have far less power to with.
stand the attacks of other diseases; consc.
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in tho
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has It's origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver kidneys, train,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse it from the system We must rcnova,s
the blood by al Alternative medicine, and in.
yyisorate it by healthy food and exercise.

FIRST HORNED CATTLE IN AMERICA
The first horned cattle brought to America
from Europe, were imported by Columbus,
in his second voyage in the year 1893, con.
sisting Of bull and several cows. The
Portuguese took cattle to Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia in the year 1868. In 1904
- hscarbot' French Lawyer took cattle to
Acadia, the same year that country was
settled. The first cattle introduced into
virginia was previous to 1909. In 500 Sir

AGRICULTURAL.
Breeding SOWs.

Every farmer is aware Of the great liabili.
ty to loss in getting litter Of pigs through
the first two weeks Of their lives. The SOW
not unfrequently devoures them as soon as
dropped, or if not, they are more or less
liable to be killed by the mother lying down,
before the little gruntcrs have acquired
sense or strength enough to avoid the dan
ger. The agricultural RerieD gives some
sensible advice in regard to the management
Of breeders, from which We extract the fol.
lowing suggesting farther that the litter
should, after two or three weeks, be allowed
considerable out Of door liberty. 1t does
them good to frolic on the grass and learn
to stick their little shoe hammers in the
ground.-Ger. TEL
''Tke food Of the SOW should be varied
and moderately salt abundant enough to
keep them thriving, yet not sufficient to fat
ten. 1t is well to give them charcoal occa-
sionally, and trihe Of sulphur. The slops
Of the house are good feed All this tends
to keep the appetite in u healthy state and
to destroy the tendancy of the swine to de-
tUuT tuclT young LuCy sHOuiu HOb Uc
closely confned-a small yard at least should
be attached to their sleeping pens for them
to 90 into at will. Change OF quarters cs-
pecially when near the time Of giving birth
TO their young is apt to work injury, and
should be carefully made if necessary. They
should be supplied with a great abundance
of straw or other suitable bedding, and al
lowed to work it down somewhat fine and
compact, and into q bed of their own liking
In winter time it requires a warm pen, and
ample bedding and care to raise the young
pigs. If poles are around the sides of the
pen high enough from the floor to give room
for the pigs underneath, it will frequently
save them from beiug lain Oh and killed, as
the SOW cannot press close enough to the
wall to injure them, and she is not so apt to
kill them in other positions as in this one.
During the first week in the age of the
pigs the mother should be disturbed as little
as possible. Especially strangers should
not approach her. Give her warm drink,
and but a small quantity of food. IF she is
doing well and is quiet, and takes care of
her young, let well enough alone. After
week S time you can feed more, aud when
the pigs begin to come to the trough and
eat, you will have ample space for all the
spare meal and butternlilk your premises

Business Prospects of the West.

The crops through out the West, with
the single exception Of corn, are the best
that have been known for at least three
years past. Wheat, rye, barley and oats
were rarely, ifever, SO abundant. For
several days past the receipts of wheat
in this market-all of the new crop too
have averaged nearly one hundred
thousand bushels per day, and the sup
ply of corn and oats have exceeded the
expectations of the most sanguine.
But, so far as the West is concerned
this is not the most important feature of
the trade. Not only are receipts heavy,
but high prices are well maintained.
The truth ia, the wheat markets all over
the world are quite bare, and it will take
some time for dealers all over the coun-
try to have such surplus on hand as to
justify former quotations. In New
York there is scarcely a boat-load of
spring wheat to be purchased anywhere;
and as long as this state of things con-
tinucs the West cannot but prosper.
So far as the country between New
| York City and Chicago is concerned, we
are we'll aware that for at least two
years past it has been almost solely de-
pendent on the West for its supplies of
wheat. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pen
sylvania and Western Virginia, for up
ward OF year past, have all been sup
piled from Chicago, and it is safe to af.
firm that there is not single bushel OF
old wheat for sale in any of those States
The same state of facts exist too i'm re-
gard to other kinds of grain, particular.
ly oats and rye, the crops of which are
most supcrabundant; while in New
York the stock Of oats is unusuall,
light, and there is little or no rye on
| hand.
All these facts are evidence that the
West during the next six months will
have a market Tor their produce which
will insure an active and flourishinp
trade all through the country. The
East must have our grain, beefand pork,
and they must pay for it in greeabacks
If the merchants of the East do not
choose to invest in grain, they need not
For 1--WE years past, Chicago has con.
trolled prices at the East, and it will re.
quire two or three as large crops as the
present to wrench the sceptcr from the
| West.
But all this will be mutual. Coco
crops and fair prices will increase trad,
all over the country, and the prospec
now Is that the mercantile trade of tn.
West will be more prosperous than i
has been since the close of the rebellion
Republican.

graded portion the line has been located
for 600 miles, developing an easy and IA
vorable route, and it is believed that full
~ half the distance between the Pacific
Coast and the Missouri River will be
built by the Central Pacific Company,
as they are favored by having their
hardest work done, and by the presence
oflarge numbers ofcheap and serviceable
Chinese laborers. 1t is assuring to be
informed. also tina. the business Of the
road is very large, the earnings for July
being $4,000 in gold; while the opera
ting expenses were less than $685.

ergy, are offering their first mortgage

sible that Mr. Johnson could not better
avenge himself on the whole pack of
them, and more surely contribute to
their downfall than by sending polite
note to Mr.. Wade, informing him that
the Presidential chair awaited his occu
pancy. Mr.. Johnson is politician
without a party. If Congress should

A SCIENTIFIC FISH SToRY.-At the
recent meeting Of the National Acade-
my Of Sciences in Hartford, Prot. Ag-
gassiz read paper on 1.-THE termination
Of the vertabral column Of fishes, /" in the
course Of which he made the somewhat
startling assertion, though not entirely
novel, that linen as well as other ant
mails have tails" Yet he argued and
proved scientifically that we are possess
ed of actual '.caudal appendsges,n even
as the monkeys are, the only difference
being in the extent of development.
This would seem to strengthen Lord
Monboddo's theory of the Simian origin
of the human species. Can II DO POSI-
BILE after all that the gorilla Is q man
and brothsr?" Is the travellers story
of a race of men with tails In Central
America veritable fact, and may we
expect at some future day, when the en-
tire globe shall be opened to the march
of enlightenment, to welcome these
tailed bipeds among the brotherhood OF
nations? r. Biz

TAURINE NINEpINs-A book Of trav-
els in Spain describes new feature of
bull fighting. Nine negroes dressed
grotesquely stand in row. The bull
being admitted, goes butting among
them rightand left, and speedily knocks
down all who have not the good sense to
anticipate hisaction by dropping. Then
the darkeys all got up again. Chairs
were brought, and the Sambos seated
themselves all in row." Again the
bull entered, again he butted right and
left; and again four Sambos were pros
trate in mixed pile Of chairs and dar-
keys. The narrator Of the achievement
says: This was great fun and was re-
peated several times. The bull liked it,
the ninepins' seemed to like it, the peo-
pie gloried in it.n #9I a93tAel
