The Fever and Ague Season.

When the leaves begin to change, remittent and
intermittent fevers make their appearance FROM
the surface of the earth, bathed nightly in heavy
dews, from marshes and swamps, surcharged with
moisture, from the dying foliage of the woods,
from fostering pools and sluggish streams, the sun
of September evolves clouds of miasmatic vapo1
perilous to health and life. The body, deprived
much of its vigor and elasticity, is not in proper
plight to resist malaria and hence all diseases that
are produced by a depraved condition of the
atmosphere are particularly prevalent in the Fall
There is no reason why the health of thousands
of people should be thus sacrificed. A prepare
tory course of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS is certain protection against the epidemics
and endemics which Autumn brings in It's train.
Let all jewellers in unhealthy localities, liable to
such vsitati0ns, give heed to the warning and adj
vice conveyedsn this advertisement, and they may
bid defiance to the foul civilizations which are now
rising, night and day, from the soil around them.
No farmhouse in the land should be without this
invaluable eXhilarant and invigorant at any period
of the year, but especially in the Fall. 1t is not
safe to go forth into the chill misty atmosphere OF
September morning or evening with the stomach
unfortifed by a tonic, and of all the tonics
HOSTETTER'S BITTEES are admitted to be the
purest the most wholesome, and the most bene-
fetal g.
Let all who desire to escape the bilious attacks,
bowel complaints and malarious fevers, take the
BITTERS at least twice day throughout the pres
ent season. 1t is as wholesome as it is lntallible
Look to the trademark, "HOSTETTER'S STOM
ACH BITTERS, engraved the label and en-
bossed on the bottle, and their revenue stamp
covering the cork, as counterfeits and limitations
abound.

Taxation.

THE outcry made by Democrats, against
taxes imposed by the General Governs
ment, is made without any good cause
Taxation, in some form, is necessary tC
the maintenance of the government at al
times, and the measure must, OF course, be
much heavier when we have pensions tC
pay to the wounded heroes of bloody
war, and to the widows and orphans Of
our fallen braves, and also the principal
and interest of a vast war debt to provide
for. The war was the last bequest of a
long series of Democratic Administrations,
and was waged by Democrats exclusively.
Republicans were in no degree responsible
for their treason or its consequences. To
pay off this Democratic debt, however.
and they are taxed in common with others,
they bear their part without murmuring.
The party charged with the manage
ment of the government has lighted the
burden of Federal taxation as fast as the
condition of our credit would permit In
the first place the General Government has
taxed no lands, nor homes Of our people.
All the taxes paid on them are for State
and municipal purposes. Second, the sys-
TEN of taxes favors the poorer classes, even
to the extent of entirely relieving them.
No poor man is made to pay dollar to
the government by way of tax ON income,
lands, houses, or property. If any man
who may be called poor pays anything to
the General Government, he does it on the
foreign goods, whisky or tobacco he
chooses to consume. The Republican Con-
gress has uniformly favored labor and
taxed capital. As soon at it was possible
to do so it reduced the tax on manufac-
lures and industry generally, sixty mill
lions per annum. The incomes and luxu-
ries OF the rich are taxed anil labor and
poverty almost entirely rel we'd. How
could taxation be made cas-
~, What relief do the Demo racy propose !?
Their policy, as deduced from the speeches,
platforms and letters of their leaders, is,
trst, to tax the bonds; second, pay them
IN greenbacks, and third, repudiate the
ponds altogether. This is simply swind-
ler's platform. The people will repudiate,
not the public debt, but the men who have
the audacity to insult the honor of an hon.
est people by asking them to adopt such
eh infamous policy ogeGo Blade.

Incident of the War.

THE New York Times recalls the fol-
lowing historical incidents of 1861:
When the flag was l)wered on Sumter,
meeting of the citizens of Galena was
held, and prominent Democrat took the
chair. He had begun to talk Of Re-
publican responsibility for the war;" and
OF compromises" when e. B. Washburne
rebuked him by exclaiming, "Mr. Chair
man, any man who will try to stir up party
preiudices at this time is traitor" At
the same moment Rawlins entered the hall,
and loud cries called him to the stand. He
advanced and made spirited speech, end
ing with these words.
Il have been a Democrat all my life
but this s no longer question of politics.
1t is simply country or no country. have
favored every honorable compromise; but
the day for compromise is passed. Only
one course is left us. We will stand by
the flag of our country, and appeal to the
god of battles"
Two evenings later Rawlins and Grant,
who had slight acquaintance, met at
another meeting, and Rawlins half jest
ingly proposed to Grant that they should
raise a company of volunteers for the war.
As you have seen service you shall be
captain" he said land Rowley and |
will toss up to see which shall be first
lieutenant" The Galena company was
raised, but Grant was not elected captain
nor Rawlins lieutenant. When, however,
some months later, Grant was made colo
mel and subsequently brigadier-general,
one % his first acts was to procure COM
mission as captain and assistant adjutant-
general for Rawlins and on Sept. Is, 1861,
the latter reported for duty on Grants
staff Nor did he ever leave it until he
was confirmed as Secretary of War.

How to Keep Pastures in Good Condi
tiOn.

IT is with pasture as with a man, the
income must be greater than the expenses,
or it grows poor. Crops are the expenses.
1t is quite possible to make the surface of
any soil unproductive and Improbable, by
carrying off more than is put on. Pas
turing with COWS that are yarded at night
does this. Sheep or beeves that remain
upon the land, on the contrary, return
more than an equivalent in manure, and
keep the land improving. Where plaster
meets want of the soil it may be kept
improving by sowing broadcast bushel
and half to the acre every spring, and
feeding off the grass Many farms in the
grazing districts in the interior are kept
up mainly by plaster and feeding. Some
of them will carry bullock to the acre.
Other lands need lime, and the lime brings
in clover, and this plant by the large
drafts it makes upon the subsoil and
the atmosphere always improves the
pasture. In other districts ashes are
accessible at reasonable rates, and they
are always a reliable top-dressing. The
effects are visible on some soils in increased
crops of grass, for twenty years. Cheap
ashes will keep up any pasture, pay their
cost, and leave profit. So will home
made compost, if man will but make and
use it. Along the sea-board the old pas
lures need nothing better than creek mud,
and the weeds thrown upon the shore.
Too often these are allowed to rot on the
sand for want of labor to gather them.
Irrigation is available in other cases, and
where the waters of brook can be turned
over pasture nothing more will be need
ed to keep it in good condition. Chang
ing soils oftentimes has wonderful influ-
ence. Sometimes on the same field of
twenty acres there will be sandy or gravel
ly knobs nearly bare of vegetation, and
hard clay or muck in swales. A top dress
ing of the sand would pay on the swales,
and nothing could be better for the knobs
than the muck or clay. Our old pastures
to be kept profitable must have something
done for them. 1t will not pay to devote
ten acres to single cow.-ADoerican Agri-

What Age to Plant Fruit Trees.

I AM fast coming over to the OPINION
aud practice of such men as Phenl4,
Quinn, and other practical hortlculturlsts,
that "the younger our trees are at inc
time of transplanting, the better thelr
health and growth, and the sooner VIII
they bear fruit" ~ III
A great many think that three or four
year old tree will bear sooner than one
two years younger, and the nurserymen
can testify well to the demand for trees Tor
{" Immediate f'uat5ng;;" but | consider 1t a
costly, unsatisfactory practice. Nearly
every tree of that age losesiby necessity a
large portion of its roots by transplantlng
from the nursery to its future bed; and in
order to maintain healthy, progressive
growth, the top must be shortened in, In
same proportion, sometimes quite severe
ly and by the time this is completed, the
tree is really little or no better than one
year or two younger. 1t happens, how
ever, in the majority of cases, that the
trees are neither well planted nor well
pruned, and the first years growth after
planting in it's new home is weak, slckly,
stunted, with the least possible prospect
Of fruit.
To remedy all this, I say choose young
| trees, not over one or two years old. they
are In the long run the best investment,
and prove most remunerative. They cost
! less at the nursery; the freight is less than
| one-half; the trees lose few or no roots
| they are more easily set out saving labor
and expensive preparation of the ground,
and then they commence a continuous
growth, which experiences few or none Of
| the drawbacks incident to older trees, and
at last reward the owner with Tuxuriant
| crops of really choice fruit.
| 1t may seem hard to any man to wait
five or six years before he can get returns
from his investment; but he will find al
the end of that time that his one year ole
trees are better in every respect than his
four year old fancies. This rule can be
safely applied to all standard trees-apples
pears plumbs, peaches, apricots, etc. In
no case would | recommend trees over
two wears of ge.-HortScuJtuqlst.

Patrons of Husbandry.

THIS Order was organized by number
of distinguished Agriculturists, of various
States of the Union, at Washington, in
December, 1867, and since then has met
with most encouraging success, giving as
surance that it will soon become one OF the
most useful and powerful organizations in
the United States. Its grand object is not
only general improvement in husbandry,
but to increase the general happiness,
wealth and prosperity of the country. 1t
is founded upon the axioms that the pro-
ducts of the soil comprise the basis of all
wealth; that individual happiness depends
upon general prosperity, and that the
wealth of a country depends upon the
general intelligence and mental culture of
the producing classes. The st. Paul Pho
neer says; eve understand that as soon
as the harvest is secured, and during the
fall and winter it is the intention of 0. H.
Kelley, Secretary of the National Grange,
to visit the prominent towns in the south
ern part of Minnesota, and the leading
points in Illinois and Iowa, for the pur-
pose of organizing subordinate Oranges,
appoint deputies and generally supervise
the establishment of the Order. Wemost
cheerfully commend both him and the Or
der to the editorial fraternity and do so af-
UGI jill luGlIidbC DCLSOudl vi

interior of Grange. Farmers are adj
vised to take advantage of his visit to or
ganize and start right in the work, as there
is no one in the country more familiar
with the ritual than Mr.. Kelley"

A GRAND AND MERITED SUCCESS =
We learn that so great has become the
demand for DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy of
late, that instead Of grinding and prepar-
ing the ingredients which enter into it's
composition, in a common druggists
mortar, the proprietor has had to resort to
large set of French Bur Mill Stones,
which are run by water power. When it is
considered that it is but a short time since
the remedy was discovered and put on sale,
this may truly be said to entirely eclipse the
success which has met the remedies of
Aver, James, Moffat, Townsend, and the
whole fraternity of proprietary medicine
vendors. Where there is such success,
there must be some merit 1t is for sale in
almost every drug store in the land, and is
