Men Wanted.

The great want of this age is men.
Men who are net for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from center to cir
cumference, true to the heart's core.
Men who will condemn wrong in
friend or foe, in themselves as we'll
as others. Men whose consciences
are as steady as the needle to the
pole. Men who will stand for the
right if the heavens totter and the
earth reels Men who can tell the
truth and hook the world and tie
devil right in the eye. Men who nei-
Their brag NOR run Men who neither
flag nor finch Men who can have
courage without shouting tot. Men
in whom the current of everlasting
life runs sill, deep. and strong Men
who do not cry nor cause their voices
to be heard on the .treets, but who
will not fail nor be discouraged I'll
judgement be ret in the earth. Men
who know their message and tell it.
Men who know their places and fill
them. Men who know their own
business: Mel who will not lie
Men who are not too lazy TO work,
nor too proud to be poor Men who
are willing to eat what they have
earned, or wear what they have paid
for.-Agitato,.

Agricultural Itema.

Stables not amply ventilated are I'M
healthy.
On many farms it costs as much to
keep the rats as to keep COW. He who
can clear farms of rats will get rich.
They say that land is so good in Ne
braska that it is impossible to pick out
a poor quarter section of l6O acres.
Poultry, to fatten rapidly, must be
like hogs, restricted to limited space.
Freedom and fat are Incompatible.
Mich cows should have succulent
food and meal. Feed generously, and
keep the flesh increasing, as well as the
milk.
Managers should be low and stables
well ventilated and lighted. Many
horses are made blind by being kept i'll
the dark.
1t is poor policy at this season to stint
the feed of dry cows. Good keeping
will tell upon the calf and upon the
milk pail next summer.
The best pastures in the Southern
States were sOwn by the Union armies
on their camp. grounds, where the horses
were fed on northern hay.
A horseman says he has cured the
worst kind of scratches he ever saw
with Swo applications of white pine
turpentine thoroughly rubbed on.
Handle cows gently, if you don't
want them to kick when being MIXED.
They won't kick unless something hurts
them or they fear something will.
The cotton-tTe of South America is
cut down every year after picking,
when it sends up sprouts for the next
years crop. and this it does tor twenty
years.
OF course it is better to be an indie
pendent farmer than dependent clerk.
A yoang man who learns farming will
have at least fifty more chances still
that he will not fail.
Every part feeds a part. Hence put
the droppings of granted animals on
the corn aud wheat fields; of hayfed
animals on grass lots; and the droppings
of forests on orchards.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT

Those who indorse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get we'll Of ITSELF or is durable
by shutting or inhaling the nostrums in common
use, will do well to remember that the local dis
ease depends always upon Preventative coTdI'
ton Of the blood
Medical writer's are wont to speak of Catarrh
as a simple local Inflammation, and both its i'm
portance and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored, or receive but a passing notice
from the general practitioner and thus Catarrh
az surely prcdisposes to Consumption as does
the day precede the night, and Is in fact the
prelude to that disease in eight cases out of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; people
resort to such means as always fail, then give
heed to the popular fallaCy that it is incurable,
and settle into a sort of mental apathy, encOur-
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that is known on the subject; and
thus matters stand, while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes a nockery,
when comes the stereotyped and hackneyed ad-
climate" "a sea voyage" "a return of health
in the spring" ETC.; but, alas the country re-
ferred to is that which lies beyond the confines
Of the fostering grave, and the spring is that
season which blooms eternal when LIES htful
fever is over
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor CORsumptive, whose sun OF
life is going down at noon, or watch its progress
upon those wrO neglect its timely and judicious
treatment. \ little while and we miss their
coming; youth and health have faded from lips
and cheek, the light from the eye has gone out,
the hands are folded peacefully over the still
heart-thsy are gone.
