O. ANNUALLY there are thousands Of dol
lars lost in this country by neglect Of val
liable farm implements, and although this
truth Is apparent on reflection, and al
though year alter year the bills of me-
chanics for repairs are paid, still the mex
cusable fault Is committed. Now this neg
ligence is not only expensive, but it indi-
Gates improyidence, lack. Of lestness and
Incidence. A little care ct the right time,
and little time given to the performance
Of the duty of caring for the Implements
win secure their safety, their protection
from decay and their being found when
ever needed. Now these considerations
are important to the careful farmer who
regards time as money. In the COM
mencement of harvest there is enough
necessary work to demand the time and
the attention of every one on the place
yet on many farms the unavoidable hurry
and labor is increased by the discovery
that the machinery is all rusty and unser-
viceable. Just when they can be least
spared hand must be sent of in hot haste
with the reaper to the blacksmith shop,
where he has to wait until the same work
is executed for q dozen other farmers who
have been guilty of the same neglect. It
may be and often does happen That par
ticulAr casting is required to supply the
place of one rendered useless by hard usage,
and then trip to town must be made, and
it is fortunate if the needed part can be
found nearer than Cincinnati. With this
haste, vexation and trouble, Of course bad
feeling is engendered and employers and
laborers are angry and III inclined to labor
vigorously. In time the grass, wheat, rye
and oats are cut, but is the lesson enforced
by the trouble and expense Of few weeks
before rememberedg One would think
that q repetition of such annoyances
would certainly be avoided, but no | the old
careless, slip-shod habit is strong and the
machines are permitted to stand right out
in the fields where they were used last,
where they will be rusted and covered
with dirt. How easy it will be to draw it
to the shed, where it win be secure, and
then bring there the plows axes, hoes,
rakes and every other implement on the
farm. They will always be there when
you need them in Q hurry, if you replace
them when your work is through. Count
ing the lost time in hunting the tools, and
the money expended in repairs by careless
farmers in the course of 6ne year, and the
aggregate would astonish even the most
Indifferent. These suggestions are timely
now, and attention to the machinery will
save trouble and money next year. Look
over all your, tools and machines and if
there is nut or bolt out Of order, put it
right, for every farmer should have neces-
sary tools and know how to use them.
Clean away the dirt from every part and
the gummy oil from the journals; ex-
anime the screws and give coat Of paint
or oil to the wood-work. Do al these
little jobs carefully now and you will not
have your tempers spoiled and your
pockets depleted by trips to the black
smiths shop in the busy time next season.

A GRAND ANDs MER1rED SUCCESS
We learn that 80 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 its
composition, in o common druggists
mortar, the proprietor has had to resort to
large set of French Bur Min Stones,
which are run by water power When it is
considered that it is but 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, Mofat, Townsend, and the
whole fraternity of proprietary medicine

A New Anasthstic.

Last evening, at the monthly meet
ing of the New York County Medical
Society, DIR. jacob read a very inter
esting paper on the new ansesthetic,
hydrate of choral. This compound
was first brought to the attention Of
medical men in July of the current
year by the celebrated DIR. Liebreich,
Of Berlin. It may be applied by in
lection under the skin, or taken inter-
nally. Being taken into the c~ircuia-
ton, it combines with thealkali Of the
blood and generates chlOrOform. Its
effects are Of the same nature as those
produced by ehlorOfOrm, and recourse
to it is not attended by the great eX-
element which precede5 and that
prostration which follows the use OF
the latter agent. At least such is the
experience of Drs. Liebreich, Rich
ardson and Jacob, who have applied
it to several of their patients. DR..
Benz. McCready, however, thought it
advisable to use the hydrate with
great caution. ChlOrofOrm, he said,
had been in use a long time before it
| was discovered that It ruined the
blood, and, if taken many times, the
digestive organs also. The persons
mentioned as having been relieved by
the new anGsthetic, it should be said,
were all suffering from affections com
pared with which poor blood and 4
bad digestion are trihes. The opera
ton of the hydrate was illustrated on
three rabbits. The first one shown
had been under its inhuenne for more
than p hours. The heat of its interior
organs had been reduced from f02 to
4 81 degrees Fahrenheit, its r~espiratiOns
from 100 to 80, and its pulsations al
most obliterated. The second one, a
small animal, was inadvertently killed
by an injection Of 80 grains dissolved
in q couple of thimblesful of distilled
water. The third was given but 10
grains. In a very few moments ii be
| came insensible, its nerves seeming TO
have lost their power Of sensation. In
spite Of the great power of this medi-
cament, it appears in the cases cited
to have been unattended with any dis
agreeable consequences, the patients
apparently waking refreshed from the
deep sleep which it produced. Two
cases of delirium tremens were de
scribed in which it had been very SER
viceable. DIR. John C.. Peters, in the
course OF some interesting remarks on
the paper of Dr.. jacob, said that the
chemists, Matthison and Wright, had
recently succeeded in separating NOR
phia, hitherto supposed to be simple,
into two substances, thereby getting
rid Of the ~nauseating properties which
had been found so Objectionable in
that drug.-Neg York Tribune.
