L E. Rawson a S lately received and is
constantly making additions to his stock OF
Watches of all kinds, and has now on hand a
fine assortment of the celebrated Waltham
and Egn Watches, which cannot be excelled
for durability and accuracy in time-keeping.-
These watches will always be sold at the lowest
possible prices, and all are fully warranted. For
persons who require strong, well made watch,
nothing can excel watches made on the Amer
lean plan, as the pecuarities of construction rem
der them strong and less liable to get out of Or
der than most foreign watches. The Elgin watch
es have a valuable patented improvement, which
in case of breaking the handspring, renders dam
age to the train impossible. These American
watches are all made in regular sizes, so that
persons buying, can have cases of any thickness
or weight desired, and exchanges in either cases
or movements can be made at any time. Z. E.
Rawson has also supply of cheap foreign watch
es which will be sold at the lowest figures. Also,
Jewelry and Fancy Goods of all kinds. E. E.
Rawson is sole agent for the celebrated Lanca-
shire Lens Spectaeles, also the Lazarus & Morris
perfected spectacles, which are sold at manufac-
turers prices. These lenses are much superior
to the spectacles commonly hawked about the
country, and by their USE tend to preserve, rath-
er than jnjure the sight, and by his long expert
in fitting lenses to the eye, Rawson believes
that he can suit most persons much better than
most OF the 50 called opticians who travel the
country selling specs, because they are too lazy
10 worh and ina il natural and easy to tell lies
These specs are always exchanged if after wear
ing q short time they are found not 10 perfectly

THE LORD A SHEPHERD.-He W
beautiful and how touching are the
words of the twenty-third Psalm :
The Lord is my Shepherd" How Of
ten has the fainting, trembling soul
been blessed and strengthened by the
sweet assurance, "The Lord is my
Shepherd y How precious to realize
in your own heart of hearts, that tho
all earthly prospects may fade, though
friends may pass away from our sight,
and all the fond ties of affection be
severed, yet we can look up and put
ting our hand into the hand of our
Father, can say. "The Lord is nv
Shepherd" we are indeed blessed
For does not the Good Shepherd gent
ly lead his flock into "green pastures
and beside still waters ?" Does He
not gather the lambs i'll His arms and
carry them in His bosom? Oh, let
US remember in our day of trial and
,orrow. that our God is a every pres
ent help in time of need" and look
ing with confidence and faith to that
source whence all our blessings flow,
take to our hearts these comforting
words, "The Lord is my Shepnerd."

CLEANSING. Casks, BOTTLES, &C.
The inquiry is often made Of us by
farmers, brewers, beef and pork pack
ers, etc., regarding the best method
of deodorizing and cleansing old CT
der barrels, musty cans, bottles, &c.
Chemistry furnishes an agent in the
permanganate of potassa which fully
meets this want. A pint of the per-
manganate turned into the .musty
filthy cider or beer cask and rinsed
about few moments, will entirely de-
compose all fungoid growths and fer
menting matter, aud render the }cask
as sweet as those that are new. The
deodorizing, disinfecting power OF the
'permaganate, holding as it does live
equivalents of oxygen, is wonderful;
it will even deodorize carbonic acid.
The only way TO remove Immediately
the odor of carbonic acid from the
hands is to immense them in the liquid
permanganate. = Boston Journal Of
Chemistry. 1924 ls -''
PREPARING Muck FOR USE.-lt is
seldom advisable to cart muck on to
the field directly from the swamp.
1t should be exposed II the air for
six months or ,yru year, and COM
posted meanwhile with lime or un-
!eached ashes. When 50 prepared, 1t
is worth as much so says Prot. Dana)
as COW manure.
After it has become sufficiently
drained Of surplus water let it be
worked over, and stacked up with al
ternate layers OF quick lime or fresh
ashes. To every layer three inches
thick of muck, put on just lime enough
to whiten the muck we'll We rather
prefer good ashes to lime, because
they contain potash as we'll as lime.
A cord of muck (or one hundred and
three busheis) will require about five
bushels of ashes. After the heap has
laid a few months, it should be SHOW
eled over and worked together in a
mass. In six months it will be ready
for use. If the farmer has not ashes
enough of his own, he eau well afford
to pay from ten to twelve cents a
bushel for them. A compost SO made
is just the thing for corn, potatoes
and indeed for almost every purpose
in farm and garden.
A national convention of cattle
dealers is to assemble in New York
next month.

STOCK BREEDING IN VERMONT
Hon. George Wilkins of Stowe, in his
address before the Black River Val
ley Agricultural Society, confined him
self principally to the discussion of the
Importance of increased attention in
the breeding of domestic animals. He
estimated the aggregate value of pro-
duce fed to animals in Vermont for
the past year, at $40, 100000, and re-
marked that it depends on the mode
of feeding this produce whether it re-
suits in profit or loss. He further
said that there was no occasion for
uncertainty in breeding animals like
must produce like-and if you always
sell your poorest, your stock must i'm
prove. But one quarter OF the stock
in Vermont yields any profit. Some
farmers keep the profitable quarter
only and some only the Improbable
three-quarters. Many have attempt
ed improvements in stock and failed
but it is simply on account of lack of
skill and judgment. fit had not beer

The Salem Gazette says that in q
ncighboring town shoes are made up in
one of the worst forms of shcddy, 10 the
shape of inner soling made of straw and
leather chips. The leather presents q
very pl usible appearance to common
observation. and would, perhaps, wear
tolerably we'll in dry walking. But on
wearing through the thin outer sole. ex-
posing the inner to the moisture of the
wet ground ground, the sham stuff will
soften to pulp and come to pieces, render
ing the shoe utterly worthless. The
shoes thus made are intended for the
Western market.
