Bent on Taking Physic.

A curious instance of faith in unlim-
tied supplies of medicine is mentioned
by clerical correspondent of the Pdro-
shial Critic, an English paper. He was
visiting a woman who was i'll, and whose
child, month old, was also suffering
from illness. He was very much sur
prised at the quantity of medicine he
saw on the table, and on inquiry learned
that she had within II few days been to
three different hospitals, two of which
she had visited in one day. She first
went to the Children's Hospital in
Great Ormond street; but not being sat
isfed with that institution, she took the
child to Charing Cross Opthalmic Hos
pital, and went herself the same day to
Middlesex. At Middlesex the doctors
gave her medicine, and at Charng Cross
they attended the child, also giving her
medicine to take herself, of course not
being informed that she had only just
come from another hospital. There
must, adds the clergyman, have been
nearly three pints of different lotions
and medicines on the table, and she was
quite at a loss how to manage to take
them all.

A Nutritious Beverage.

Koumiss, the Tartar drink prepared
from mares milk by fermentation, is
recommended by Polish physician as
an excellent remedy in all complaints
arising from indigestion, in nervous If
ritation, and in different forms OF dys-
pepsia. He says that other kinds of
milk will yield, though that of the
mares is preferable. The true koumiss
is piquant, sweetly aciduous, fragrant
liquor, which, when taken in large
quantities, produces pleasurable excite
ment without any bad after effects. 1t
may be varied as to its constituent ele-
ments by proper manipulation so MS to
suit different constitutions. The pa
tent is restricted to its use as food ex.
clusively, beginning with small quanti-
ties at short intervals, and gradually in
creasing his allowance. On this diet as
much as ten pounds of flesh has been
known to be gained in a month, the
koumiss containing all the plastic, res
piratory, and heat-giving elements of
the body, in a form most easy of as
smilation.

A Rainy Season.

During the past three months New
York and the surrounding country have
been visited with an unusual amount of
rain, making the season the wettest and
most variable we have had for long
time. Prof. Draper, of the Central Park
Neurological Observatory, reports that
during the month of June there were
ten rainy days, nineteen in July, and
thirteen in August, making an aggre-
gate of forty-two rainy days for three
months. The actual time during which
rain fell in these months was nine days,
two hours and forty-five minutes, and
the rain which fell amounted to 1922
inches. This is certainly an extraordi-
nary rainfall for this season of the year,
and more than makes up in amount for
the protracted spring drouth. AS a set
off to this excessive moisture, Michigan
and several of the North western States
are reported to be suffering from druth.

acres of wheat. the same Of barley and
turnips, besides some oats and beans.
The produce sold was 80 threeyear-old
steers and 200 fat sheep-all raised on
the farm 2.450 bushels of wheat and
5000 bushels of barley, which realized
$l5,S95; besides other produce, as pork,
wool, butter, cheese, etc. Early in July
the turnips nearly covered the ground,

An orchard is planted this year during
the season it is cultivated after a
fashion, but as it is troublesome to pillow
or cultivate between the trees, and es-
pecially as it endangers the life of the
tree to bark it or bend it, the cultiva-
ton is only $3.50. Frequently the
ground is seeded the second season al
ready, because it will be so nice to pick
up the fruit out of the tall and velvety
grass, which is expected to be so thick
and rank that no damage will accrue to
the falling fruit. Surely there will be
no damage to the fruit, because there
will be no fruit. In nine cases out of
ten, the trees will be neither dead or
alive for few years, and then death
will be a certainty, and all the cost and
labor expended will be total loss.
When the orchard ground is cultivated
to small grain, especially oats, it is al
most as disastrous. We have known a
peach orchard to be entirely killed by
having two successive crops of oats
sown in it. The facts are. trees ought
to be cultivated for the first five or six

the soil for future crops. But to succeed
in raising such produce a farmer must
be shrewd enough to purchase such
stock as he can manipulate most easily,
and avoid loading himself up with such
as will not feed rrotitably; and further,
he must use judgement as to the time
of purchasing. There is an old adage
