Bloody Milk,

A correspondent, writing to an
exchange, says In most cases ]
think the difficulty arises from infa
nation of the milk veins. The fol
lowing treatment has proved efec-
tual both in this country and Eng
land. Take hogs lard, lump about
as large as hens egg, and rub it
evenly over the affected part, and be-
tween the udder as well as on the
outside, rubbing it well in. Repeat
the operation after milking until the
strippings are quite clear, which
will be about the third or fourth ap
plication. If the milk is thick Or
ropey, it should be drawn from the
COW in the middle of the day.

The Temperance PARTY.

When the Leader reviewed the
ground, week before the election,
and predicted that the temperace
vote in this county would not ex-
ceed six hundred, it was thought
unduly sanguine 1t now appears
that it's estimate, instead of being
far below, was far above the mark.
Only 249 votes were polled for
the temperance candidate for Gov
ernor in this county, and less than
seven hundred were polled in the
entire state. In all but four coun-
ties, the total temperance vote is
646. Of these four counties there
are thirteen Temperatures votes in
Ashtabula and seven in Summit.
Never was there a more conspicu-
Gus and utter failure in party that
pretended to an organization at all.
The party claimed $500 votes in
this county alone, and ten thousand
in the State. They find themselves
utterly without support. This is
not to be attributed to the absence
of temperance feeling in the State.
There are hundreds of thousands of
people in Ohio, who heartily. sym
pathize with the temperance reform.
But this verdict at the polls is an
overwhelming one against thrusting
temperance into politics, and MAX
ing the idea Of prohibition the nu-
cleus of an Independent political
party. We hope that our temper
ance party friends have been sober
ed-for their is such a thing as in
temperate advocacy, even of tenn
perance-by the result of the cleo
ton, and will realize the utter hope
lessness of attaining their object by
the means which they are now en-
ploying.-C. Leader.

The Age of our Earth,

Among the astounding discover
les of modern science, is that of the
immense periods that have passed
in the gradual formation of the earth.
So vast were the cycles of time pre-
ceding even the appearance of man
on the surface of the globe, that our
period seems as yesterday when
compared with the epochs that have
gone before it. Had we only the
evidence Of the deposits of recks
heaped upon each other in regular
strata by the slow accumulation of
materials, they would alone convince
us of the long and slow maturing of
Gods works on earth but when we
add to these the successive popula-
tions of whose life this world has
been the theatre, and whose remains
are hidden in the rocks into which

ever kind, on which they lived.
hardened in the course of time, or
the enormous chains of mountains
whose upheaval divided these peri
ods of quiet accumulation by great
commissions, or the changes of
different nature in the confgurations
of our globe, as the sinking Of lands
beneath the ocean, or the gradual
rising of continents and islands
above, or the slow growth of the
coral reefs, those wonderful sea
walks, raised by the little ocean ar
chitects, whose own bodies furnish
both the building stones and the
cement that binds them together,
and have worked SO busily during
the long centuries, that there are
extensive countries, mountain chains
islands, and long lines of coast, con
sisting solely Of their remains, or
the countless forests that have
grown up fourished and decayed, to

feed the fires Of the human race, if
we consider all these records of the
past, the intellect fails to grasp a
chronology of which our experience
furnishes no data, and time that lies
behind us, seems as much an eter-

The WAYS to Success.

Two or three of the richest men
in this country have recently given,
in sententious language, the secret
of their worldly success and fortune.
"There is no secret about it," said
Commodore Vanderbilt; call you
have to, do is to attend to your bu-
siness and go ahead-except that
one thing" added the Commodore,
"and that is, never to tell what you
are going to do till you have done
it." The millionaire Democrat, who
has been running for Governor of
Pennsylvania, and who has no views
whatever on political subjects, re-
Gently gave his idea to the way to
get rich, in the remark: "Econo-
my and safe investment are about
the best means of attaining financial
prosperity" George Law, also, who
is tolerably rich man, though not
quite as rich as Wander bilt or Asa
Packer, remarked in conversation a
few days ago: "There is nothing as
easy as making money when you
have money to make it with the
only thing is to see the crisis and
take it at it's food;" and, when fur
ther pressed to tell the secret Of his
own success, he quickly responded:
Determination to work, and work
ing" These opinions are certainly
worth something, and will doubtless
be eagerly studied by young men
ambitious of wealth. But they are
incomplete without a remark of A.
I. Stewart, who is richer than either
Vanderbilt or Asa Packer, and who
told an anxious inquirer, a short
time ago, that he considered hon
esty and truth great aids in the gain
ing of fortune. ~. Y. Ia'i6une.

Care of Fowls.

Fowls exposed to dampness are
apt to be troubled with catarrh,
which will run to Group if not at
tended to. Red pepper mixed with
soft feed, fed several times q week,
remove the cold. Pulverized chalk
administered will cure diarrhea.-
This disorder is caused by want of
variety in the food, or by too much
green food.

Shach for Hogs.

If you wish good, solid pork, do
not allow your hogs to run in the
woods and eat shacks, which is
said to be abundant this fall, for nuts
will make meat soft and oily. Hogs
that are to be kept over, may be al
lowed to range, and perhaps with
profit. Nothing pays better as a
feed in pork making thangood sound
corn, and this is greatly improved
by grinding and cooking.

They are capital of themselves, and

BUSINESS BLOWING.

"Blow blow! blow! Why don't
you blow? That's the.way to do it |!
Gammon's the word! That takes

goose, and don't reason. Only
blare out your brazen trumpet and
make big noise, and your fortunes
made. No matter about sticking
close to truth. People will believe
you because you talk so loud, and
your goods will go like wildfre !!

who goes along just picking up what

The fools are not in "a majority, by
any means; and even fools learn
wisdom, when they are once bitten.
There are plenty of men who know
where their true interest lies, and
you can't CANNON them twice by
blowing. They know who make
good goods, and they know who do
the right thing by them. Job
Honest does his work well; and he
is always busy, quite as he seems.
What he tells you or sells you may

his credit is good at bank. His

at two per cent. And, my friend,

Slapdash & Bangor, busy as they
seem, are always tight. For a year

that you never dreamed of, prepared

Now how chnrmiugly familiar the
above sentences ring upon the ear Of
all old Washoeites. Why, that's pre-

write from Como. There we were
located in about 10000 feet, and Brier
in twice that lot. We had " nothing
we could call coin rich only in feet
and felt just that same way about
selling out. We also advised all COM
ing, to bring money with thcm. Brier,
however, kept up the same style OF
writing when he was over in Excelsior,
and so far as we can learn Of him he
could consistently follow it out on that
line in hiss White Pine operations, as
well as Bishop.
