DR.. VAN DEN BEReH'S
Sovereign Worm syrup.

THIS TRULY WONDERFUL MEDICINE
| is warranted to eXpel all worms from the
Bowels and stomach, except Tape and Chain
Worms.
The proprietor has taken much pains TO test
the comparative merits of the principal Worm
Medicines OF the day, which, numerous as the
EntoZoa themselves, have OyeTspread the
land, each claiming for itself the name of spe-
cific; and, while we frankly acknowledge that
many of them are often successful, and do great
good, were we not assured that this combines
advantages possessed by no other worm medi-
cine, It's Introduction at this late day would not
nave heen attempted.
The pleasant taste and exceedingly small
quahuty OF this medicine required TO test the
existence of worms. or to remove every one
from the system-its OPERATING i'm n few hours.
unaided by any other purge, together with its
eeF5ilnty 0l eject, constitute il one of the most
brilliant discoveries of the age.
Had we space here scores OF certificates
might be adduced TO show its progressive and
rapidly increasing reputation Tor the last few
years; but to prOmulgate its fame and estab-
iish its character, we only ask for a trial.
Its speedy operation in all sudden attacks as
convulsions, collie, hts or spasms, gives it an
unrivaled superiority. Sent by express on re-
ceipt OF price.
SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
Alternate paling and flushing OF the conn
tenance, duh expression OF the eyes, drOwsi-
ineSs itching OF the nose, a sweIled upper lip
tongue Whitley furred and thiekly sPeckled
with red points, ,feted breath, an enlarged belly,
a partial or general swelling or puffingness OF
the skin, a starting in the sleep and grinding OF
the teeth, sensation as il something was
lodged in the throat, gradual wasting of the
flesh, sickness of the stomach, vomiting. a
short and dry cough, appetite sometimes vOra-
cious at other times feeble, bowels sometimes
cOstiye, at other times loose, great fretfulness
and irritability Of temper, pains in the stomach
and bowels, collie, fits, convulsiOns and palsy.
Its value in removing masses OF crudttieS
from the stomach and bowels of children, even
where no worms exist, cannot be too highly es-
timated.

Profits OF Farming.

PEOPLE who think farming is poor
business for young man to engage in do
not always figure correctly. 1t is true, as
compared with the successful merchant
or speculator, the profits look small.
Ambitious young men, in hot haste to be
rich, consider the slow process of m king
money by the growth of the soil far too
dilatory. Allowing the farmer to take
out OF his produce reasonable wages as a
compensation for his labor, and his per
cent. ofproft on the valuation of his land,
implements. etc, will not, probably, in
Ohio exceed three per cent. per annum.
THAT is very poor business" says the
merchant and the banker, 81 expect to
make fifteen or twenty per cent. on my
money" Let us look little into this
fifteen or twenty per cent.
Every man cannot be banker, or a
merchant, simply because, if nobody tills
the soil, the merchant will have no one
to buy his goods, or the bank to borrow
its money. Every one has not the capital
to set up store, or bank, and, there
fore, ne who commences frequently does
II by borrowing and paying interest-six,
eight, ten, or perhaps fifteen per cent.
We do not propose that every young
man should try farm, either. Farming
requires special qualifications, the first of
which is good constitution; the next,
good judgment. 1t also requires capital
but the above qualifications constitute the
principal part of it,
1t is found by statistical data that, of
so many merchants who count upon sud-
den wealth, ninety seven out of every hun
| dred fail in the course of their lives, and
become bankrupt. This process is by no
means an agreeable one to go through.
Only seven out of every hundred die rich.
With most men, the principal object in
acquiring money is to leave something.
The farmer may not be able to die rich;
he must be content to live comfortably,
and to die in comfortable circumstances
But to return to the profits.
Suppose it is only three per cent; that
is, he has a tract, say, of one hundred
acres of wild land, that cost So per acre
and the clearing of one-half OF it $40; his
buildings, implements, stock, etc, 81 500
in all 81, 500 or $4,000. After paying
himself wages, and supporting his fami
ly, he makes three per cent. on his invest
ment or 800. This does not look very
imposing, but this little sum he can lOar
at ten per cent, making it 500; and add
ing the next years profit, there is $lS9
luaning this the third year, it swells tC
S297; and by the time his children grow
up there is quite a snug little sum salteC
away for them. Ohio Farmer.

To Trap WOOdchucks.

USE a steel trap; set il at the mouth of
around the trap; then take the trap up,
dig out the dirt just as deep as the trap,
and set it (the trap in the spot eXcavated.
Put some moss around the pan so that
dirt cannot get under to prevent it spring
ing. Cover nicely, poking the dirt with
board silver. Stretch the chain out
straight from the hole so that he cannot
get into the hole after he is trapped, or he
will rsat
When you get the woodchuck, skin
him, spread out the skin, and put some
ashes on the flesh side of it and roll it up.
Lay it away as you would sheep-skin to
take the wool off Wet the ashes a little,
and in one or two days the hair will start.
Pull it off and wash the skin clean and
put it in old soft soap or stroug soap
suds, and in three or four days, perhaps,
the flesh can be scraped off with an old
case knife. We call it "beaming." Then
pull it over a sharp,edged board until il
gets dry, and it will be soft as cloth and
tough as leather.
In case the woodchuck pulls out of the
trap, set spring pole. Split tAe top of
the pole, cut ring around, slip the ring
of the trap chain over the split end and
drive wedge into the split, to hold the
chain; then drive n stake with a short
hook to hold the pole down. When the
woodchuck gets in and pulls, the pole is
loosened from the hook, and up will GO
'chucky" and trap.-H. Mics, IN Rura
