What the Farmer Must Know.

The farmer. like the business man. must
know what h" is doing; he must have
some pretty decided ideas Of what he is t.
accomplishing fact he must calculate il
beforehand
He must know. his soil-that of eacl
lot; not onlyfthe top, but the sub soil
He must also know what grain and
grasses are adapted to each.
He must know when is the best time tc
work them, whether they need summer
following.
He must know the condition in which
ground must be when plowed, so that it
be not too wet or too dry.
He must know that some grains require
earlier sowing than others, and what those
grains are.
He must know how to put them in.
He must know that it gays to have ma
chinery to aid him, as well as muscle.
He must know about stocks and ma
nures, and the cultivation of trees and
small fruits, and many other things in
word, he must know what experienced,
observing farmers know, to be sure of
success. Then he will not guess-will not
run such risks-RurM World.

How HOStetter's Bitters Cure Dys-
pepSia.
THE WHOLE sToR'

WHOLE STORY A NUTSHELL
The Office of the stomach is to convert the food
into cream like semi-fuid, called CHYME This
IL effected partly by the action OF solvent. called
the gastric juice, which exudes from the coating
of the stomach, and partly by mechanical move
ment of that organ, which churns, "a IL were, the
dissolving ailment. The CHYME passes from the
stomach into the duodenum, entrance To the
bowels, where il IL subjected to the action of the
bile, and the nutritious portion of IL converted
into fluid called Chyle, which eventually be-
comes blood
Now, it is evident that If the great solvent, the
gastric juice Is not produced i'm sufficient quanti-
ty, or if the mechanical action of the stomach Is
not sufficiently brisk, the frst process Of digestion
will be but imperfectly performed. Ii Is also clear
that il the liver, which plays such Important
part in changing the nOurishing portion OF the
chyme into the material of the blood IL congested
or in any unnatural condition, the second Droces,
will not be thoroughly accomplished. The result
of the t,oo failures is dyspepsia complicated with
6uiOusness.
The mode in which HOSTETTER's BITTERs
operate in such cases is this they invigorate the
cellular membrane of the stomach, which evolves
the gastric juice thereby insuring ample suffi-
cheney OF the fluid to completely dissolve the food
They also act upon the nerves of the stomach
causing an accelerat'on of the mechanical move,
ment necessary TO reduce the feod to homoce
neous mass. They also act specifically upon the
liver, strengthening IL, and 80 enabling IL to pro-
duce an ample and regular supply Of bile for the
purpose Of converting the nutritious particles of
the GIMME into Chyle. and promote the passaea
through the bowels of the useless debris
In this way, H0STETTER'S BITTERS cure diva
pepsia and liver complaint. The explanation l.
plain, simple, philosophical, and true

Great Mixers for Butter Diaries.

IT is fast coming to be understood that
for the manufacture of butter simply,
great mixers are not always the best
COWS. To say nothing of the superior
butter-making qualities of Jersey cattle,
the difference in butter making capacity
between different cows of any breed de-
ponds very slightly on the quantity of
milk that they give and almost entirely on
its quality. A cow giving ten quarts of
milk per day will often make more butter
than another of the same breed giving
sixteen quarts; and where this Is the
case, if the business is exclusively, or
chiefly the manufacture of butter, the
smaller mixer is much the more prOfita-
bic, for the reason that the skinned milk
is usually Of little value, except for the
manufacture of pork, and this will not
compensate for the greater amount of
food that the large mixer consumes.
For butter dairies, then, it should be our
aim, setting aside all other considerations,
to select such animals as ample experience
has shown will make the largest quantity
of butter from given amount of food.
Whether the food be fed to one animal or
to two is matter of little consequence.
What we want is to get the most money
as the result of It's consumption; and this
is often attained by feeding it to large
number of smaller mixers. In the case of
thoroughbred animals, the advantage of
the larger number of cows is still greater,
for the reason that they give us more val

that they have used it for various ills, with the
most satisfactory success. 1t is within our own

No Name.

1t is common thing nowadays TO hear per
which bring much discomfort to both mind and
body, that they find no qualification in anything
around them. One has no satisfying rest at night,
another is always peevish and respondent, still
another takes no delight in society, and others
again find no compromising pleasures in labor,
exercise, even life. No name is given In pa
thoogy for their ailments, nevertheless the causes
are always present They simply lack vital power,
and Prof Baker says that :. the best remedy, for
uniform success" as it tones the Stomach and
Liver-the seat of the complaint-and recon
structs the shattered constitution. This vitaliZ-
ing tonic speedily removes the cause of languor
and discomfort, imparts a calm force TO the ner-
vous system. rouses the dormant organs of the
body, and blesses the sufferer with perfect and
lasting health.

The Grant Gift Enterprise.

"MACK," in Washington letter, sug-
gests the following circular to the Presi-
ident as means of conveying general in
formation to the thousands who would
like to know more about the enterprise
HEADQUARTERS GRANT GIFT ENTER
PRISE, WHITE HOUSE, March, 1S69-The
following instructions are issued for the
benefit of those seeking office under the
new administration
Applicants must state the extent and
character Of the contribution made by
them; the time when made its value
then, and its value now. If it consisted
OF real estate they must specify whether
it was improved or unimproved; whether
town or country property. If city lots,
whether corner or otherwise also,
whether abutting on an ally or not. II
country property, how near to railroad,
and whether prairie or timbered. Ii i'm
proved city property, whether gas and
water are in the rooms
If the contribution consisted of money,
the applicant must state the precise sum,
and whether it was in bonds, gold, or cur
rency.
If the contribution consisted of horses,
the applicant must state precisely the age,
color, sex, and condition of the ami
nal, and whether thoroughbred or not,
with carefully prepared pedigree in the
former case.
Contributions other than real estate,
money, or horses may be classed under
the general head of "miscellaneous," but
the items must be distinctly given, together
with their value, ETC.
Future contributions must be made In
money or improved city property. This
rule will admit of no deviation. The
number of horses on ha.ad forbids further
additions, and the unsaleable character of
farm property will not warrant the accu-
mutation of that species of real estate.
To accola odate customers, however, a real
estate agent will be attached to the head
quarters staff, whose duty it will be to
use his best endeavOrs to sell country
property, and to convert it into money fol
the benefit Of applicants for Office.
ALI contributions must be made and re-
ceipted for before the applicants claims
are passed upon. This rule is necessary
to avoid repetition of the unpleasant re-
lations arising, a few days since, out of a
case in which the applicant was found to
be disqualified, after the appointment had
been made. In no case will the money be
refunded.
Compliance with the above instructions
will greatly facilitate business.
