DR.. II. T. HELMBOLD:
Dear Sir We introduced your "Fluid
Extract Buchu" in this country about eight
months ago, and are happy to state that II is
meeting with universal favor. We wish TO
inform you Of one instance (among many
where your "Buchu" has worked wonders.
A man in our county, named J.B. Essclil,
had been suffering about five years with
gravel. About six weeks ago he bought OF
US one bottle Of your "Buchu." and before
he was through with one bottle he passed a
gravel that weighs eight grains. which We
now have ON exhibition in our drug store.
He says that he will never be without the
"Buchu" in his house again. Your prepara-
tons are gaining favor every day.
Very respectfully yours, etc.

Editor Cosmopolite: / desire as an unso-
licited tribute to the merits Of Hclmbold's
Buchu, and for the benefit Of those similarly
afflicted as myself, to say that after consult
ing many eminent physicians, and trying
nearly all the best advertised remedies, in
the vain hope Of finding relief from aggravat.
ed kidney and bladder diseases, from which l
have suffered excessively for many years,
good fortune finally suggested to me Helm
bold's Buchu, which / commenced using with
little faith, and no apparent beneficial results
for about i month. At the expiration OF that
time, however, l thought commenced to ex-
p~erience slight relief, which encouraged me
to persevere in its use, and now, at the expi-
ration Of four months, although I am an in.
firm old man, nearly ~seventy.cight years OF
age, and consequently medicines cannot be
expected to favOrably affect me as they other
wise would, l have found such unspcakablc
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helm.
bold's valuable discovery, that / feel as il l
ought to publicly record the fact, as an
Acknowledgement to him and q valuable sug-
ves,ion to the public. Yours respectfully,

TO the acre, don't manure at all, nor thin
too much, or your brush will be so coarse
and long it win not bring the best price
The brush should be from sixteen tC
twenty inches long, and the finer the bet
ter; too coarse is not saleable.
Cultivation should be the same as fol
Indian corn, taking special pains TO keer
ii perfectly clean of grass md weeds while
| young.
A gallon of seed is ample for an acre,
making due allowance for imperfect seed.
If the seed is all good, half that quantity
is sufficient.
81 Care should be taken 10 moi cover too
deep; a very light covering of dHt is
enough-not to exceed half an inch.
The brush should Be cut as soon as it is
long enough, leaving four inches of stalk
on long brush, six inches on medium and
eight inches on the SHIRT brush, making
an average of six inches of stalk.
If the corn Is just in blossom il is all
the better, only SO that the brush is long
enough and fine. BY cutting while young,
it is sure to be green color, and then by
taking care and stripping the seed imme-
diately and curing in the shade, it viii
hold its color, and the greener the color
the better the price.
The best way tocure ii is TO have a large
shed with racks, so arranged as to allow
the air TO pass through, and it will then
cure without changing color.
To let corn get wet and then the sun
strike it viii cause it to turn red and III
jure the quality and sale.
Seed should be stripped as soon as the
corn is cut; it can be done by removing
the cap from the cylinder of threshing
machine; placing rest between yourself
and the cylinder, grasp handful of corn,
hold firmly to the stalk, resting your hand
against the rest, letting the brush rest on
the cylinder. Run the cylinder from you
and this viii strip the seed very quick
ly.
OF course such as is wanted for seed
should be left standing till it fully rlpens,
and for this purpose stalks should be Sc
lected having the largest and best brush.
In the absence of a shed it can be
cured by placing across rails laid on the
ground, but in this care must be taken to
avoid rains.
1t should be planted just after Indian
corn, or at any time after the ground gets
well warmed. By planting early in the
season, the corn will be matured, ready
for cutting, while the season is dry; while
late planting will be on hand to cure after
the fall rains.
Broom corn can be planted as late as
July Is. If it should not be too dry it
will grow sufficiently long before frost,
but if it should come on dry at planting,
or while very young, it might prove a
failure.
Almost any tillable land, not too wet,
will produce broom corn. On average
land about 700 lbs. per acre can be called
an average crop, though 1000 lbs. have
been raised. About seven cents can be |
called an average price. Particular care |
should be taken to clean well and bale |
nicely, turning brush into center of bale
md putting about 200 lbs. in bale,
using rope for ties or bands.

plowed under 10 the green state with great
advantage where green manuring is de-
s.rable. If mown in the green state they
may make excellent fodder If the seed
is allowed to ripen, they may be mown or
raked, threshed and used for fattening
hogs, or feeding sheep or other stock. A
bushel of peas is worth about two bushels
of corn for fattening hogs. Some farmers
have found, by experiments, that it takes
about five pounds of cooked corn (fed dry)
to make one pound of pork, and seven
and quarter pounds of raw cornmeal (fed
dry, or nine and half pounds of raw
cornmeal made into slop, and then fed,
TO make one pound of pork. Three and
one-eighth pounds of beans cooked. or
three and seyen-eighths pounds of peas
cooked, viii make one pound of pork.
For feeding to hogs, it is rather essen
tial that peas should be cooked or soaked
in water. Sheep will cat them very well
without any preparation. When ground
into meal, peas or beans are readily eaten
by all farm animals.
Beans may be sown broadcast like peas,
and in this way have yielded large crops,
sixty bushels to the acre being reported.
For green manuring, the bean is very
valuable crop, in this respect better than
peas, if not quite equal to clover. One
of the surest and most prolific varieties
for this climate is the American Newing-
ton Wonder.-& Louis Journal of
Horticulture.
